TheDarkPaladin's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chocolate Shop Frenzy]

Too difficult towards the end.

This is a very well made, and original to an extent game. The graphics were crisp and there was a good learning curve. Well done.

My only complaint is after level 6 or so, the game started to get really difficult. I couldn't even finish level 8, no matter what I tried (Combos to increase score took too long, no combos to increase speed didn't work, combination of both worked even less.)

I know I shouldn't downvote the game because of its difficulty, but for a game with such a relaxed learning curve to suddenly go so hard, I cant finish even after 4 retries is a bit... Unfair, to say the least.

That's my only negative comment though, the rest of the game was brilliant. Maybe you could add different characters throughout the game? I dont think I've ever been more irritated with 2 customers and a phone ;D.

[Bunny Invasion 2]

Woah

This is easily the best game I've played in weeks. It has great graphics, addictive gameplay... It's got everything. The trophy system adds replay value to an already astonishingly long game. The story is basic, but very effective. The upgrades are well thought out and fair. The weapons are brilliant, fun to use and each has a distinct advantage on different waves to stop things getting boring. The bunnies were great. Awesome targets ;D. Although seeing the mini-boss characters more than once would be pretty nice.

I honestly cant think of anything that would improve this game. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through it, and I hope you go on to make other games!

Oh, and if you didn't get any high tier weapons by Wave 59, 20 grenades, 20 remote grenades and a fully upgraded 12-Gauge will do the trick too :D.

[Game 103 RPG 2.5]

Good effort.

It's clear that you've put a lot of effort into making this, which is good, but it's not quite on it's way to being a memorable game yet.

1. Story. The game needs some sort of story. Even if you're not a writer of epic plays, you can surely come up with a basic story to hold the thing together.

2. Oddities. Why is there a dog? How does paying money to a building grant you skill? How does this skill enable you buy more things in a shop?

3. Graphics. Although I cant draw myself, I think the graphics do need a little clearing up. Maybe add a common interface instead of just dropping text and icons wherever there's a free space.

4. Game. Maybe include another game? If not, improve the collision detection to make sure it's as tight as possible, I thought it was a little unfair.

I don't mean to insult your work at all, on the contrary, it's clear your trying hard and I hope you go far, it's just not quite up to scratch yet. I'm very interested in this project, as aimless RPGs are just my cup of tea :).

hallaby responds:

1) a story - your the mayor of the town and you have to make the town better

2) the dogs there cuz its a feature, just like the game, the music shop etc.
Its Building skill, so you have to the ability to build!

3) Yeah, I really do need to do this, but I have so many graphics :/

4) Ya, I have come up with a ocean game idea where you have to collect stuff at the bottom but avoid sharks

Thanks for helping me improve the game with your suggestions! I will probably add them, I hope this does kick off sometime :)

[Meteor Blast Synergy]

Very good game!

This is a very good piece of work. The graphics were nice, and the atmospheric music was quite fitting, but more importantly, the gameplay was brilliant! Very addictive!

I didn't read the bit about having to hold W, A and D together beforehand though, and wasn't able to shoot white lasers until I found out my keyboard couldn't handle the 3 buttons at once, but apart from that, this is a very solid game! Congrats!

ChromeShark responds:

I hope not too many people have this problem, but I was aware of it so I added the reconfiguration so no one would get left out. Thanks for your review!

[My Diamond V2]

Decent

The idea of the game is very original, but I think it could be executed better. A few powerups and a high-score board can go a long way. I only played this game for about 30 seconds; I'm far too tired to be co-ordinated at the moment, but I can imagine it getting quite boring, quite quickly.

But as I said, it is a very good idea, and I hope you develop it further.

[James The Deep Sea Zebra]

A very cool game

That was one wicked (insert genre here) type game! I didn't find it as relaxing as it's Christmas counter-part, but it was a great game nonetheless, wih more of that one-line humour you guys do best. Hey, maybye you guys could start a series, y'know, like "James the Surfing Zebra". Don't ask me for ideas for it, as I am rather lacking in imigination. Well anyway, I loved this game, and I will always be a fan of what you do. I hope you had a great Christmas. Bye!

[Jumpball]

Ok

It was nice and simple fun. Just like a game should be. I think it needs a bit of music though. Well thats about it. Good job!

[Dealer]

Nice

Thats a good game you've made! I played it for quite a long time! I ended up getting:
Cash - 12540443
Days playing - 143
Trunk space - 259
Score - 12540443
Nothing really needs to be improved. I found the bank music getting a bit annoying though. Other than that it was a good drug-dealing experience =)

[Gamer Tutorial 2.0]

Decent

It's another of those ''This is probably gonna help me sometime'' tutorials. A lot of the information was good but some was pretty useless. Overall, it's quite good. I'll probably use some of the actionscripting in this. Well done!

Smoke-Tower responds:

thanks mate

[the NG Calculator]

Haha

That was pretty random, in a good way, not TODW way. Well my accounts worth about $10. (not including this review) So i think Il buy...2.5 pints of beer. Not enough =( I could blab on all day but I think Il just stop here by saying: Well Done!
