[The Sugarhill Gang Game]

Um... Ok

I can't say I cared for this game. Wasn't too original, though I do like games that are played this way, just not so much this one. For one thing, I went to a dead end in the cave and it told me "Level Complete" but I thought the point of the game was to ESCAPE the cave. Oh jeez, I'm confused. It would really spice it up if you added a little music as well. And draw your own backround, because what is the sky doing it a cave? Caves are dark places.

[NEO 4000 Breakout Game]

Um, interesting.

Breakout, an undisputed classic. However, I didn't really understand what I was playing with, was that a safe? And what were the bricks, like barcodes? What I didn't like was that I lost 2 lives like right off the bat, like it was just destined to go in an odd direction. I give it a 2/5

[Magical Cat]

That was really funny.

I don't know if thats supposed to be funny or not but I thought it was hilarious. With like, the dramatic music and it... being a cat. It was completely off though, by the time I got through the whole math process, I had -1.

[Hippie Pong 3]

Big Improvement

But still, it's just pong, nobody will be very interested in playing this game. Well since version 2, you did fix the paddle, so my ball didn't go through it this time which is a definate improvement. And adding a bigger repetoi of songs was also a good decision. However, I don't find that the difficulties vary really... At all.

yeah, i'm not going to make any more hippie pongs games in a hurry but if i do make one in the future then i'll improve it alot and spend alot more time on it

[Strawberry's Quest DEMO]

I like the concept

But I don't like demos. I think this would be a good, and suprisingly unique game. But, I think you should just get rid of this and submit it when it's done. Also, to make it really exceptional, you should up the graphics and turn the sound on the voices up, as I could barely hear Strawberry over the sound loop. Either way, I look forward to playing it in the future.

[Hippie Pong 2]

Not doing it for me.

For one thing, having the music playing on the first frame (aka the preloader) is not a good idea for obvious reasons. Second of all, as I read in another review, the music gets old really fast. I'm a heavy pot smoker which is what first attracted me to this game, that is when I saw the words "hippie" and "pong" in the same title. I was let down greatly. I wasn't really expecting much, but I was expecting more than this. For one thing, people can't seem to comprehend that making a flash game of Pong on Newgrounds is a total waste of time. People will only look at it once, and for a very short period of time, give it a 2, get their precious protection point, and then forget the game ever existed.

My biggest problem with this however was the paddle. Everybody knows theres only one trick you can pull off in pong, and that would be jerking the paddle in a different direction as soon as the ball touches the paddle. But when I attempted to do this, the ball would go RIGHT THROUGH my paddle!! And the CPU would get a point!

So basically, try something original, but before you do that get some more practice in flash. Good luck with your future projects and I hope when you read this I don't come off as a dick.

Ash4792 responds:

i don't think you're a dick, i like honest people and it helps me out too. wait and see what you think of version 3 i'm gonna jazz it up alot with a 2-player mode, a dynamic music player, customisable options 5 difficulty modes, an animated background and maybe some powerups and i'm gonna make it look alot prettier aswell

[Kore Invader]

You can't say it's bad.

But it is a long way from perfect. This is better than most games submitted to Newgrounds but at the same time, it's the same game. There are way to many games on NG where your a ship going through space that shoots at other things slowly scrolling down the screen. But, the graphics were not bad at all, and the overall game was coded pretty well. So Kudos to you, on making a better game than I would ever be capable of doing. Peace.

[Classic Video Poker]

Esentially very fun.

But wow, the flaws that it DOES have get very annoying quickly. For one thing, if you don't win you almost always get your money back anyway. Otherwise, you said you "added a mute button", but I could not find it but that one could be soley my fault. And last of all, I quit when I bet all of my $1,000,000,000,000 on one hand and actually lost. The bet thing doesn't go high enough. It makes me have to click my mouse like 60 times to play one hand. Other than that, it was a good game and kept me entertained for an hour or two. Good job.

[Extreme Pong ^.^]

HORRID!!!

Oh my god the music is most annoying fucking thing in the world! And besides, how original is pong? There are no twists, special moves, not even a backround. And seriously, was this looping annoying as fuck sound the best you could find? And if you just sit there and don't move the paddle, the ball never moves, just back and forth in a straight line. Thats a pretty huge bug. And by the way "practice mode" is useless, its just playing against a gigantic paddle. Who in the hell would need to PRACTICE PONG??

[Deer!]

Cool, much room for improvements.

Graphics are good, sound goes with it nicely. You could have used more upgrades like maybe windsheild wipers to get blood off or something like that. I killed like 100 deers and didn't see a drop of blood. Also, it would really blow to have a truck that got 1 mile to the gallon.
