[Puzzle Daze]

....

Premium members only? Ehh... Does this mean your like going to make people pay for this on your website or something, cause... I mean it is just a puzzle game. I didn't think it was to bad, but I could think of at least 100 more entertaining things to do.

GeometricGames responds:

No, the puzzles are free. Premium members get access to the complete archive (going back two years) and the ads get turned off. Puzzle Daze itself is, and always will be, free to play.

[Guy::The Platformer]

Plain

Well it was an A-Okay game I suppose. The controls ran smoothly for the majority of the time but like in the first level, you can walk behind the stairs where you start out. And, if your jumping and you go above the screen, when you fall you'll go right through the platform. Other than that it was pretty entertaining. But I mean, you could maybe add a story or maybe a cooler backround. Well good luck next time.

Myzzy responds:

Yea the walking into the platform was intentional, for instance in the 6th level all of the platforms are partially transparent so you can see yourself inside of them.

And there are secret coins behind those stairs (and in some other blocks o.o)

[The Horrific Quiz 3 (2007)]

Wow

This was ALOT better than I expected it to be! I thought it would just be some stupid quiz with crappy graphics about the stupid newish horror movies that are being released these days. You proved me wrong! This was an AWESOME quiz with very professional looking graphics. I got like 15/20 right, some were very hard but I think the only one I never saw was the original "House of Wax" anyway, you helped me figure out what I'm doing tonight! Cheers, I'm off to the video store.

thenbriansaid responds:

yea i didnt want to make it easy so hopefully it shows what movie you have to watch again haha

[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.

Ash4792 responds:

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

[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

[The EMO Game V1.0]

I call it freedom of expression

Oh my god that was one hell of a game. Good job dude! And of course it wouldn't have been the same without that song. Was it really done by Holywood Undead? I heard it was someone different, oh well. This was a really fun game and had good graphics, good concept as well. I liked the Stabby rip stab stab poster in the back too. One flaw dude- Under your instructions it says "catch as man razorblades as you can" you should probably change that to "many" but oh well thats just me.

garvstone responds:

I fixedthe typo. i am not really positive that is an HWU song. Ther are a lot of people that say it is and isn't. Thanks for the review.

[ActionScript Explained #1]

Ugh.

There are SOOO many tutorials on Newgrounds. There are way more than anyone actually needs! This one was pointless. Sure it actually "teachs" you some AS, but that was so short it was pointless! It was like 6 pages. And, would it kill you to use some kind of backround thats not black or some music thats not ridiculously obnoxious?

thequackattack responds:

and your point is...

[Pacman Original]

Totally unneccary.

Big fan actually, but I could play this anytime in I hadn't pawned my Atari 2600! Look, Pacman was great but I think you slaughtered it in alot of ways. My biggest problem was the movement. It was too free if you get what I'm saying, if you click and arrow, it should go straight that way, not have a little wiggle room to the lefts and to the rights. Sometimes because of this I'd skip OVER pills that were in corners!! My second biggest problem was SPPED. This was WAY to slow! The perfect speed would be the speed where PacMan was going at when he ate a power pill. And another thing, this is nearly identical to the original pacman, except choppier and slower. So why copy-cat it? Make it unique! Change the levels!! Add backrounds!! Maybe some movie clips in between on something! Please try again?

Seandadj responds:

ok you had a lot of issues with it, thanks for the feedback ill do an assault on these.

[-Pacman's Revenge-]

Not to Great.

Ok, I played it for a while, I'm sorry I don't remember my score. Well, this isn't the funnest game in the world, it was just ok. But it's only fun for like 2 minutes because nothing new ever comes along. And you need to make more distinction between enemies and points than just by size. At least change the color!! I'm sorry but in the condition this game is in now it's kind of useless. Please fix it up. 2/5

Seandadj responds:

well thanks for the review, as will all my games they get updated so ill consider that.

[Shabba Dee-The Wrong Face]

I don't care if it's short!

This was freaking awesome!! All around great job. Your style of drawing would SEEM underdeveloped but with you it's not, it's just a crazy good unique well fitting style. I LOVED this game! The plot was so unique and AWESOME. It was cool how you sould use different things as your head and that would impair certain things depending on what you were using, it was a tad frustrating but all the worth it. Please, I'm totally sincere here, MAKE A SEQUAL!! 5/5

MNc99 responds:

This was the look I was going for. Thanks very much :D You're very kind. I do fully expect to make a sequal- one that works better- but that won't be for a while.

Cheers!
