RatherRandomReality's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Squareman]

Brief but saying stuff review

Great level designs, graphics that are perfect for a game like this, good concept, adequate hardness, fun to play despite the awful music.

4/5 and 8/10, congrats!

Hazard-Productions responds:

I liked the music....

anyways, thanks!

[GDB - Where's my gun?]

ha...

Wow. That was unexpected. That's why I like newgrounds, you can see what a crazy Southafrican living in Finland can come up with. I enjoyed it all, especially the ending. In a review response you mention that you have to work on your drawing skills but I think for this game this style fitted really well. It helps the idea not to take the whole thing seriously. I must add that for a first game you throw out some solid actionscripting there. A little faster will be nice though, juuust a little bit. Very enjoyable overall.

SecretSecretary responds:

Yeah I agree its a bit slow. The main focus was the humour, and Im just glad I made you laugh. Thanks for the review. It was very useful.

[Bubble Tanks]

Good job

Very good game, gets boring after a little while though. Your bubble that is an absolute link to armor games should open a new window, its kind of lame like that.

[Metal Ball]

A potential masterpiece

Excellent game, some things to consider though.
1. Too easy - what makes a game unique and classic is that it's hard to beat, in a way that it's not frustrating at the same time, so it makes you play it again and again. Don't feel afraid to make your game hard to beat. This game was way too easy and it took me like 8 minutes to beat it. You can totally drop the checkpoints.
2. I would like to see the ball falling off the edge, it's going to be a nice effect.
3. You had a slight issue with the edge that you can step on, some other reviewer mentioned that before.
4. When signing sponsorship deals, stand your ground about not having fucking annoying ads all over the place.
5. Make it funny somehow.

[Cube-It]

Good one!

Beautiful game. Level 19 was too much for me, I gave up after being stuck on it for 20 mins. Very nice concept, though.

[Tank!]

4/5 7/10

Well, a very good first try at flash, I must say. The AS needs improvements, you know that. When you hit you go back to frame 1 of the fight, bumping into the other player also sends you there. The tanks look really good, I know this may sound as impossible but if you want a really good game like this, you have to start working on artificial intelligence too, so you can play against the computer. As I am relatively new to flash and I know what a bitch is it to create a game that is good, you got my 4/5 7/10 on it.
Just build up on it more, good job.

[Cannon Bods]

Good, but...

Very funny and well executed, except one very annoying bug - sometimes you shoot perfectly but your pirate goes through the falling pirate and you miss him. Something that I'm sure you know about, so just fix that and you have yourself a game deserving a 10.

[The Impossible Quiz]

Good, good, good...

Ha, my egomaniac soul says: some of the questions reminded me of The Timewaster, a button game that I submitted in december, last year. Like the one with the different words in different colors almost at the end of this hard but not impossible thing. And some others of course. But hey, even if that's the case, which I'm not sure about, you created a fucking masterfiece, man, excellent job. The funny thing is when I was making mine, I had the same idea about three lifes, but didn't know the actionscripting for that, so I just made places that save your progress when you reach them. I beated your quiz, spending probably 2 and a half hours on it. You English speaking people are so cruel to foreigners. Next time when you make a quiz consider that there are dumb foreigners out there.
:)))) I can't beleive you didn't win any award for this brilliant thing.

[Cool Pool]

Good game!

I liked it a lot. The controls seemed a little wierd at the beginning but after a while I thought they are actually not bad at all. One thing you might wanna change - make a diiferent color for the line, showing where the ball goes when you hold down Left m b, so the player will know if he is just measuring or ready to hit. Does that make sense?

Eder responds:

Absolutely, thanks a lot I'm gonna do it

[Balloon Burst!]

Good!

Good game I should say. Beautiful graphics and the music was well chosen to fit the gameplay. The only thing is that it's really easy and because there's nothing new going on, it gets boring very quickly. Two things that might help - make it more difficult (less time, more obstacles that can kill you) or make different levels and introduce different baloons gradually. But very nice overall, keep it up.
