Makakaov's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dodge The Troll]

It's simple avoider game. It's not new, nor good. No sound, no timer, no high scores. At least those would be nice. If you want to make something more out of it, it would be best to post it after you're done. Dumping grounds is place for you to put demos, and you can always ask for criticism on our forums.

And yeah, I moved mouse out of the screen. Problem?

[Blueberry Fields]

From what I noticed, it's based on luck basically. And there's 50% chance, that you will encounter the human. After the bush was used, it can't be used once again, so... I was in luck only to get one bucket, only around 4 bushes were actual berries. You can't make this kind of game entirely based on luck, sorry.

gio-m responds:

Yes the game is all about luck. I agree that this type of format is not the norm for these kind of games. I thought i would try something a little different. :)

@everyone: Feedback is very helpful to me. If there are things you like or don't like please feel free to say so :)

There is a restart button (the R) so if you get to a point that you know you can't win you can reset.

[Temple of Frames Prologue]

It's simply awful. on(press) or on(release) alone in a flash project is almost never enjoyable. For smaller projects, like these, I suggest you Dumping grounds and for criticism you can ask friends or fellow Newgrounders on BBS or Chat. Point & Click adventures can be fun, but You must have a good idea and skill you're yet to learn.

1/5,
1/10.

[Crazy Cars]

The game is playable, and can be enjoyable, but It's too generic. It's just another 3d race game, with additionally hard to follow interface. In fact, I wouldn't proceed back to menu after winning the first race, it not TAB button. The game is average, and idea is old.

[The War Machine]

Not good.

This game is not good. The graphics are okay, but the rest doesn't seem to be.

First of all, the sound does appear to be loud. You mentioned that, but that doesn't change that it still is. It's a minor thing, but can be frustrating. Variety of enemies is small, which is a small minus too, but it is. The worst thing in the game are controls. The ship can't go fluidly from going two directions at once, and then switching one direction. It just stops, so player has to let go of all the control keys for a moment to turn here he wants.

Additionaly, the idea is nothing amazing, but the game does not only have flaws. It's playable, has some kind of bosses, power ups, actual background which is cheap, but still is, and some kind of story added to it.

You can't submit score anywhere, and if you die, and wait few minutes, you will have few last bosses in front of you, floating, waiting for you to replay the game and rape you.

For me, the game has more flaws than pros, but it's your first game, so It's not too bad.

Gemeai responds:

about the sound ya it's not loud but it might be loud for some people whose wearing headphones

i will make more enemies, i wont use the space bar again and i will improve the background all in my next game

the bosses can be fixed i will give it a shot

[happy fun dino robot game]

I like the idea.

I eriously do. I don't know if you actualy made this game. It looks like it was made in japan from my point of view, but that's just a speculation.

The graphics aren't bad, really, and music does not annoy. It even fits. It's a good job you made there.

As for the most important thing, the gameplay: I liked it. I actualy tried a couple of times to try again after I died, just for pure fun. Have to catch the technological symbols to not turn into a dinosaur, but also can't get too much of them, or else you will turn into a robot.

I think it actualy contains a good message. Get a life, but don't stay behind. And that is sometething I like. Game good enough to interpretate. Good to kill few moments.

[MACMAN]

It's funny.

Unfortunately, nothing except that. The song is nice, a pacman remix. I didn't mind it. The character, Mac man is a funny creation, and the whole game seems to be a refference to pacman, with some "upgrades" which didn't really went out very well.

First of all, the levels. They look like you just closed your eyes, grabbed a mouse, and shaken it around the desk for 5 seconds. The character is very likely to get stuck on the wall on his way because of it.

Also, The AI. I mean the lack of it. The enemies are just tweens moving from A to B, sometimes from B to C, and then back to A, instead of A - B, B - A, but it doesn't matter.
The game is not challenging aswell. You have this 100 energy thing, which allows you to just run through the 3 boring levels, get stuck on the walls a little, and win the game. It's pretty much it.
