"Good game"

submission: Warfare: 1917

date: January 6, 2009

It´s a good game. The graphics, sounds, gameplay and all that stuff are well made and implented. What I especially found a good thing was that the game did not have that many different units and just a few upgrades which did not seem to play a major roll in the game anyway. This kept the game nice and simple and made a good strategy in the field far more important than buying the right upgrades.

The bad part was that the game was rather short and quite easy as well. There aren´t that many levels, about 10 or so if I counted well and with the right strategy and a bit of luck you could finish every level within 5 minutes. Even the last level was a piece of cake actually. Just a tank, a few man and a gas attack was all that I needed.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Would´ve given even higher if only it was longer and a bit more diffecult. Other than that it was enjoyable and a nice time killer. Keep up the good work.

"Quite enjoyable"

submission: Castle Clout

date: January 3, 2009

This was a fairly good game.

The graphics were pretty nice, except the castle could´ve looked a bit better. But on the other hand it must be hard to make a castle look realistic when it gets destroyed, so I guess it was okay to make it as simple as you did here. The sounds were also nice, but I really missed some background music here. Some good music can make it a lot more interesting you know, the silence gets boring after a while.

Another problem I had with this game is that it starts to lag easily. The game itself started to lag a bit at times, which was still okay. But as soon as there was anything else moving on my screen, such as an animated add, it started to lag a lot. This especially became annoying when I was about to swing another ball to their castle. Happened to me pretty often that I thought the game didn´t respond and pressed it again and my ball was dropped. Or that the catapult was already swinging back so that I also had to drop my ball.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. The game was quite enjoyable and I did kill some time with it. Nice that it also had a high score list by the way, gave it some more replay value. Anyways, try to improve on the stuff I mentioned above and keep up the good work.

"Nice episode, but sometimes a bit predictable"

submission: 4 Swords Misadventures 6

date: December 23, 2008

Another nice episode you created here.

The graphics were pretty good once again. I liked the fbf animation you´ve put in there. It was quite well made, but on the other hand it seemed like a lot of trouble for such a small and rather pointless scene. And since it actually delayed the episode for 3 months.. I would leave it out next time if I were you.

The voice-acting in this episode was also pretty good again. It could´ve been better at times, but for unproffesional people they did a great job.

The only real complaint that I have is that some of the jokes and parts in the story were a bit predictable. This sometimes led to a bit of dissapointment, and that´s probably why this is one of my least favorite episodes so far. Don´t get me wrong though, I did enjoy it for the most parts and all in all it was nice and well made.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. I think so far you have created a very entertaining sprite series, possibly one of the best on NG. Keep up the excellent work.

PS: Merry christmas and a happy new year to you as well.

"Best part of the three"

submission: Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt3)

date: October 28, 2008

This final part was awesome and deffinatly my favorite of the three. The nuclear attacks looked great, very well animated, especially how the cars and pieces were flying everywhere. I´m sure that must have been diffecult to animate. Also nice how the whole landscape of the movie turns from pretty normal to a burning wasteland which was again very well made.

Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. I´m looking forward to episode 2. I hope you already finished it in those 4 years and will submit it soon, although I don´t really expect it. Anyways, congrats with all the well deserved awards and I´m sure you´re gonna at a few weekly to them as well tomorrow. Added this last one to favorites as well, keep up the excellent work.

"Also very nice, but pt 1 was better"

submission: Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt2)

date: October 27, 2008

This part seemed to be relatively short compared to pt1 and the teaser. I´m really starting to get curious about the girl. She barely spoke so far and you don´t know that much backgroundstory about her yet, beside that she likes surfing and is about to lose her family. I do hope that we´ll get to know her a bit better in the third part.

Anyway, the graphics were once again mindblowing. I must say that backgrounds seem to be your specialty. They always look just a bit better than the animated stuff on the foreground in my opinion. The special effect with the EMP in the sky was nicely made by the way, and so was the car accident.

Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. I liked the first part a bit more than this part to be honest. I think this part could have been more exciting if that girl, Sarah, did not seem to be so relaxed. She even stopped for the red light, I mean come on :p Who would stop for a red light when missiles or whatever are heading your way? This still deserves a 10 though. I´m looking forward to watching the third part (and final part of the first episode?). Also added this one to favorites.

"Finally"

submission: Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt1)

date: October 27, 2008

After that very promising teaser you submitted 4 years ago, perhaps the most promosing teaser on Newgrounds ever, I was worried that you gave up on this project. I´m pretty relieved to see that you haven´t. This first part of the first episode was once again awesome with excellent graphics and you´re really good with creating the right atmosphere.

Interesting how you linked some elements in the story with things that happened in reality. I´m wondering if that was actually your plan from the beginning, since I believe there was nothing about America vs Iran or something in the teaser.

Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. This first part seemed to be more of an intro. Not that much action yet and as in the teaser, not much backgroundstory about the girl. But it was awesome still. I´m off to watch the second part, added this one to favorites.

"Not bad"

submission: Smiley chess

date: October 20, 2008

The game was pretty well made. Graphics were pretty good, nothing too spectacular but everything looked nice. A bit more animation when a piece is taken or when pieces are moving would be nice, but not really necessary. The music was pretty good as well in my opinion. Nice battle themed music which suited the game quite well. Some sounds when pieces are taken would be nice though.

As for the bad parts: It was already mentioned before by other users, the angle of view was very annoying. It really gave me trouble to see where my pieces were and when they were in danger. So I suggest you put the angle right behind the board or something since it gives us a much better overview of the board.

Also you could beat the computer in 4 moves if you were lucky, so I suggest you make sure that the computer always does one standard move first which prevents us from winning this way. Putting the pawn in front of the king one step forward for example.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Could be better, could be worse. I´d focus on fixing those two bad parts that I, and a lot of other users, mentioned. If you could improve those, you could have an award winner here.

"Simple and entertaining"

submission: Pointless Platformer

date: August 17, 2008

At first I wasn´t expecting much of the game. You´ll probably agree with me that it doesn´t have great, mindblowing graphics and it all looked a bit unproffesional to me. But it was suprisingly entertaining I must say and it kept me amused until the end of the game. All those things you wrote at the background were lots of fun to read and I think that´s why this game kept my attention. The music was a bit weird, but a nice tune still. I think it suited the game well.

As for what to improve. I can´t think of much personally. I mean, sure the graphics aren´t good, but improving on them would only make the game worse I think. There are only a few minor glitches, like I was able to stand halfway in certain platforms and when I hit the ceiling it seemed like I was floating for a while. These weren´t big problems though and I don´t think they really need to be fixed.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. I guess this game proves that games don´t need awesome graphics and great gameplay to be entertaining. It was very simple and yet a lot of fun too play. I´m glad to see that a lot of other NG´ers agreed with me and gave you a daily second award. Congrats with that, and keep up the excellent work.

"Good first episode"

submission: I.E.S. ep.1

date: August 2, 2008

Yes, to be honest I was hoping to see FF Jailbreak 2. But I think this could become a very good and entertaining series as well. This first episode was pretty good in my opinion and did put a smile on my face at some points.

I am glad that you added some subtitles since it did make a lot easier for me to follow the movie. Not that I couldn´t hear what was said or anything, because the sound quality was decent enough. Voice-acting was pretty good as well, I saw that you had some trouble with getting new voice-actors for this movie and I´m glad that you found some good ones. The graphics were once again great, although the animation lagged a little at some points (during the tree-scene for example), but I guess I´ll just have to turn the quality down there...

Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5. A good first episode like I said, and I can´t wait to see episode 2. I do hope that you´re gonna finish FF Jailbreak someday though, since the Day Care and Jailbreak episodes were one of my favorite series on NG. But I can also imagine that you prefer to start something new and that´s also fine with me. Anyways, keep up the excellent work and good luck with creating episode 2.

"Not bad"

submission: Ocarina of Stupidity II

date: July 28, 2008

It was not bad. The drawings were alright in my opinion and the voice-acting was decent too. The sound quality was actually pretty good in some cases. I also liked the fact that you added the TP Goron City theme somewhere in between, it´s one of my favorite Zelda themes actually so plus points for that.

As for what to improve. The drawings were alright like I said, but I think you could still improve a lot there. Especially try to focus on animating, cause most of it didn´t look very smooth. Also I think you need to speed the scenes up a little. For example, I think the stuff with the Goron could´ve been funier if the scene was a little shorter. The conversation with the Owl might have been better and funnier if you had switched the camera angle a few times.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. I liked it, but there´s still a lot to improve. Work a bit on the points I mentioned above and it might become a great series.
