Decky's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Panda 3xb 2]

Honestly, I ended up killing myself (in the game, I don't have happiness issues) at just over 3k because I got bored. It needs more options to increase gameplay. A points for upgrades system would be nice and more types of obstacles. I'd work on the spawning of obstacles and power ups too, sometimes it was impossible not to take a hit.

The graphics were good though.

Artur-Felipe responds:

Thank you

[Recoil Zombie]

A good arcade style game with simple controls. The idea that you jump when moving adds a new twist to a classic format.

I would have preferred some kind of currency to buy upgrades or maybe more types of weapon to pick up and zombies to kill, really boost that game play.

I enjoyed the overall style of the game and It's hard to pick a flaw with the graphics, they're simple and functional. The blast from the rockets could be bigger and maybe some shade on the rocket itself.

A good way to spend half an hour.

MrNannings responds:

Good to hear you enjoyed yourself!

Yeah i did the art myself and i'm only a coder.

A kinda shop would be nice indeed.

Thanks.

[Fleeing the Complex]

The welcome return of Henry Stickman. As always the simplisity of the animation only adds to the charming cartoon pleasures of such things as Charles and Sonic Pulse. Bravo to you Puffballs united for creating this masterpiece of point and click games.

I'm still working on getting all sixty fails and I'm not gonna stop until I do.

PuffballsUnited responds:

Thanks for the kind words :)

[Light Fright]

Nice, simple and very addictive. What more can be asked of a flash game.

If I was too be picky I would say that the graphics could have done with more work for example a slight gradient fade on the light would have been nice though the character had great style to it and i like that the amount of movement you gave it.

Not much to comment on. It's a really good waste of time.

Mariofan9 responds:

Thanks a lot. It's a really old game at this point, but I'm tickled people are still playing it today.

[Dracula Boom]

A simple puzzle game with great graphics and a good number of levels. One of those that's great when you have an hour to kill and as always the medals are a bonus. The sort of stuff that is expected from a gamezhero production.

The only things that I'd say need improvement would be maybe some upgrades to add more gameplay though this could take from the simplistic charm of this game.

Thanks for the medals gamezhero and keep up the good work.

gamezhero responds:

Thanks. You may play mobile version, with 75 levels, Good Luck

[Rolling Tomato]

Not a bad little time waster. I would have liked to have seen more features, upgrades that can be purchased from a shop for example. This would increase the amount of time before boredom sets in. Something I find can happen early in runner games.

The graphics are great, the style works and there's a good range of enemies. The only other comment I would make is that the screen is a little too big for the Newgrounds player but that's not a major issue.

It's not bad but could have done with something extra to push it over the edge into great.

Ockam responds:

Agreed concerning the Shop, maybe in an update :)
One of the reason why I haven't put one shop is because I try to do this game pretty quickly because of its relative video ( It will be viewable in 2 hours )

[Hit the ? on the TV]

After five minutes I have a high score of four and I think that is were me and this game part ways. As with all of the games you have released they have a whiff of good idea but then they are executed so badly with crappy music, bad level design and in this case a background that will make your eyes bleed. I think you need to take your time polishing your games before you jump to releasing them for example on this game you lose if the ball leaves the screen, this is a bad idea for letting people get that twenty streak medal but if you remove it the game would be too easy. How do you get around this. Maybe another feature?

I think it's possible that you could produce a great game but at the moment they're coming across rushed and amateurish. Take more care.

jupitron responds:

That´s because im an amateur.
Please take note that all of this was made in more than an hour, everything, including music, the idea (that goes to game design), graphics and sfx.
I believe i can produce better stuff but with ONE HOUR of work, sorry this is the best i can.

[PACO-PACO]

A nice runner. I particularly like the graphic style of this game although I think the typography could have been better, it looks like a bit of an after thought. Maybe something a little more simple like a one tone, minimalist type.

I also think that the game itself might be too much on the hard side but maybe if I keep at it I'll get some of the medals. I might have put the medals at lower milestones, easy medals sell games around here.

All in all a nice little game.

inspectorgeek responds:

The game that you played wasn't complete... please play again and tell us your feedback :D

[Shotfirer]

An interesting game. The graphics have a simple, classic, platform feel that lends itself to the genre and it's one of the better of this style from my experience. Additional little touches to the game such as the hidden artifacts and the NG medals help towards extended gameplay and make the minutes (maybe even hours) fly by.

Having said that there are a few minor issues that I noted. The main annoyance was the fact that the crawling, blue enemies seem to be able to kill you from an unfair distance. They attack the air near the character and he just falls, dead. This irritation came to a head on level 11 when the character has to jump over one of these enemies in a trench. The range of these critters should be reduced by just a pinch.

All things considered this is a great, little, platform game to pass some time over the Halloween period. Well worth the time spent.

KirIgnatev responds:

Thanks for the detailed feedback!
Surely, you can jump over the blue monster, but it's not most simple way. Just try use a dynamite. You could even complete this level and not kill the enemies.

[Lovely Patterns]

I'm not quite sure what to say about this game, on one hand it's completely exceptable for what it is and the opnly real change I would make to it is to have the hearts disappear as an option so that some could be taken away.

The main problem with this game though is that it's just too small, and I know that you are talented at creating mini games so why you didn't do a collections of different mini games with a valentine theme I don't know. Maybe this was a last minute "I wanna do something for valentines day" thing but it really feels like a part of something.

In Short - Good for what it is, needed more content.

Cyberdevil responds:

Ah, that's a good idea, will keep it in mind for the future! Your right, this was kind of a last minute creation for Valentine, which I think I managed in a day. Guess I should start preparing for next year and make something really flashy then. :) Thanks for the review!
