Makakaov's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Panda VS Zombies]

Quite good.

The game is using an existing commercial franchise. I have no idea if you got right to use it, and I don't care. For me that's very unoriginal.

Music of course is good, not nessesary created by you aswell. The graphics are well made, and the gameplay is umm... barable.
The animations are good, and attacking is fluid, but it gets quite boring, tapping j key all the time, and finishing the zombies away with special attacks from time to time. And I mean it gets pretty boring, in pretty short time. There's no real story whatsoever, and interaction is limited to kicking the enemies' ass.

In short it looks good, but it's not a game I would like to play to kill my time.

[Cowboy Duel]

Great.

I liked it. However, I have feeling I have seen this game long time ago, so It's not new.

Anyway, I like It. It's one of those one of a kind games, and I really liked it. Especialy the mechanism of the duel.
The graphics are adorable, the difficulty is set perfectly for me.
In general, I like it very much. The only flaw is the music. It's just too short. Maybe if it was longer, it wouldn't even bug me that it's looped.

I hope you actualy consider releasing the second part with some upgrades, because the game in itself is very good.

[When was what]

Great.

I really enjoyed it. The idea seems very orignal to me, it's a smart game, and well balanced. Not too hard, not too easy.

The tone of the background is relaxing, the music is nice, but could better. I didn't like when it was getting louder, becaue I was actualy trying to concentrate on the question.

Anyway, the game is good, original, and deserves a good score.

[My Ship]

Not good.

The classic idea of vertical space ship shooter. In addition to enemies we can destroy, and asteroids and such which we have to dodge, we have astronauts to save. It's a bright idea, and I like it. I also very liked the physics engine if i can call it like that. I mean the space garbage is actualy pushable around with the shots. It's a plus too.

Unfortunately, there is nothing more. The gameplay is very poor: Ship doesn't seem flexible, I noticed enemies grow a little after they get hit for the first time, the game is not dynamic, it's too easy and the only difficulty in here is that if you get hit by something you couldn't dodge, you loose one astronaut.
In these conditions, saving 100 astronauts who seem to appear quite rarely comparing to anything else in the game will be nothing but torture.

Also, it's very uncomfortable that you have to click each time you want to shoot a single shot. It would be nice, if not the delay long enough to make ship not shoot when I click the second time, which doesn't frustrate me that much, but i don't like it enough to mention it.

Additionaly, the graphics which is something I don't really care for unless they are very shitty of just excellent, are just bad. I didn't mention them now because they are shitty. They are bareble. Those just could be something that helps a little in the rating.

[MoonType]

Awesome!

I always loved these games, despite that I'm not native english or american speaker. The music is nice, graphics is good too. The gameplay is awesome. At least for me.
It gets harder not too fast, but not too late aswell. In other words, it's good to play, and it gets challenging exacly when it needs to.

Unfortunately, there are two minuses in my opinion:

The first one is that there could be some kind of story added to the game. Make it a story mode with some hilarious cutscenes or something, and of course add survival mode - the thing it is now.

The second con is lack of originality. there were endurance typing games beafore, and I know it, but it's not really much of a minus because this one may be not original in the general, but there aren't really many games like these in here, so It's not just another clone game with new graphics and sounds.

Also I would like to mark that I lost it to a rocket named "win", which convinces me that I didn't really lost it.

4/5,
8//10.

[Kaboomz 2]

Great!

The game is entertaining. It's not very original, but it's hard to find originality in these times.

The gameplay is good, the music isn't fristrating, and levels require focusing on them, timing the shoots. Number of levels is okay, I can't complain about it. In general the game is good looking, and playable. Also, the levels are constructed creatively.

On the other side the levels are quite easy to solve. There's no much logic behind them, and when you look at them, you see how to do them already. It's good to have a plan from the beggining, but I'm sure some players would like to find the non-obvious way how to solve the puzzle for their own.

Also, mentioned beafore originality factor. The game is not very original, and quite simple in itself, but still entertaining.

4/5,
7/10.

[Super Hero Chronicles]

Quite Good

The game is playable. Graphics aren't marvelous, but still, they are in some way made and they show what they have to show. The music looping can annoy some people. It didn't really bother me, but yes, it can be a problem on long lasting levels that are in this game.

Maybe if there was an axis showing how many distance there is to go, then it wouldn't get little boring while playing.

The game contains power ups, quite smart combo system, and an actual story, which is bareable. It was quite fun playing it, but that's all.

glitchs2d responds:

Thanks I was thinking about puting in a meter that said how much more you had to go but I just dont know what to judge it by if you know what I mean. But yea I know im not much of an artist and I had complaints with my previous music from a few others I think this one is a little less grating on the ears.

[Genius Quiz]

Quick and small.

It's good that it doesn't take much time, but I am affraid that it's too short. Just 12 pictures, just one set, easy to remember.

Also, a lot of serial killers heppened to be geniouses too, so I'm not sure if IQ has anything to do with your attitude in certain aspects.

Besides that there's nothing bad i can say about it, perhaps there is nothing more to judge except the music which was okay.

poxpower responds:

Well the idea was to distinguish between genius and stupid but it turns out no one who scores low on IQ tests puts their face online next to their result.

So I just happened to find a list of serial killers with their IQs. Maybe they have that information because they can't execute the mentally retarded so they have to make sure. Who knows.
