Auz's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pac-man Eat'em Up]

Indeed not very original

Yeah I have indeed played this addictive little game a lot of times before, so it's not very original. Good thing that you added music in it and the controls were also pretty good. You were still sliding a bit sometimes, but that made the game a little bit more of a challenge. There were also some things that I didn't liked. You could move of the screen on the right so that you appeared on the left. I don't know if you added this on purpose, but it was quite annoying sometimes. It could also use a different background, the background you had right now was a little boring. It would also be nice if you added some more stuff like powerups (to give you more speed, to make enemies slower etc.) and maybe some more types of enemies. That's probably pretty hard cause I thought pacman has only one type of enemy, but try to think of something. Overall I would say it's quite addictive and pretty funny for a while, but it ain't very original. Good luck with improving the game, if your gonna do that.

[Mario Invaders]

Nice try

This ain't very original. It's just a Mario version of Space Invaders. Please add some extra little things like powerups and stuff like that so that it'll be a lot more different than the original game. You could also make more levels and more types of enemies, it just had 3 levels and 3 types of enemies and that's it. Make the walls a bit bigger as well, it could only take one hit and I could shoot through them myself. There was some little bug in this, if you pressed the right-mouse-button and than pressed play, you completed the level. I dunno if this can be fixed, but if you can fix it than fix it. One last thing, add a different background, this background was boring. Add a background from some Mario game or something. The good thing about this game was the music, I liked the Mario tunes you added. Overall I would say this is a nice try, but not good enough yet, please improve all this stuff and it'll get a higher score I'm sure.

[Into the moria caves]

Nice, but still not finished

This was surely a nice game, but I have a feeling that it's still not finished. The game had some great backgroundmusic, but it didn't had any sword sounds or sounds when your getting hit. Also it could use some more variety in the background, it became a little boring after a while (it could use more types of enemies too). I think you should also make Gandalf use spells and more types of attacks. He is a wizard after all. Maybe you should add more characters as well like Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas (and maybe Boromir and Frodo). One thing that I found a bit annoying was that when there were so many enemies around, the game started to run incredibly slow. Also I was stabbed a lot of times, because of this I couldn't attack the enemies and I couldn't run away either cause the enemies seem to block me. The last thing that I would like to say is that the game is a little easy, if I was stabbed many times, I barely lost any life. Overall I think it's still a nice game, but it's not finished yet. Please fix and add some/all of these things and I'm sure it'll get a pretty high score. Keep it up and good luck with all the improvements (if your going to do it).

[Dog Dash]

An OK game indeed

This could be better, but it could be worse too. This really needs some backgroundmusic and sounds. It'll make the game a lot better. Also it's a bit annoying that you must touch the platforms with all your paws. I fell off and had to start over a lot of times cause of that. The graphics weren't that bad, but they could be a bit better in my opinion. Maybe you should add even more powerups to make the game a bit more funnier. One last thing, a replay button at the end when your game over would be nice ;) Overall I would like to say that it is quite a nice game (an OK game you would call it), hope you'll fix and add all these things, and the game might get a pretty high score actually. Keep it up and good luck with all the improving (if your gonna do it).

[Cursor Thief: Amped]

Pretty addictive

This is quite an addictive game and pretty funny too. It had some bad things however, like the graphics. They could be a bit better, at least put a different background in it because this one was a bit boring. The game could also use some sounds and some nice backgroundmusic, this also made the game a bit boring. Maybe some more powerups will make the game a little better too like something that makes the thief run slower and something that can make you lift the ball for a short while. And one last thing, if the thief teleported it was almost impossible avoiding being caught, please remove that or make it a bit easier to get away. Overall it's still a nice, addictive game. Keep it up and good luck with your next submission.

Cartmack responds:

There is a way to get round him from getting you when he teleports. One way is to move the mouse around fast. The other way is to....:) And it works 100% of the time.

[Asteroid Energy]

Could be better

Mweh, This game wasn't that good. It had some bug's, like reverse doesn't use fuel and if you press right mouse button and than press play, you win the game. Please fix those little things cause they make the game too easy. I think the spaceship could use a different color too, it's a bit hard to see where it is sometimes. Maybe some nice little planets will make the background look better, this one was a bit boring. The backgroundmusic was also a bit boring, please add some different music. You should really add levels and powerups to make the game a bit more interesting. I'm not sure about shooting, either it's just like you just shoot the 3 asteroids and you finished the level or you have 120 mini-asteroids (which you can shoot) that'll leave you no space to move at all so I don't think that such a good idea. Anyway I'll hope your next version is a lot better, good luck with it.

[Battle - Lord of the Ring]

Awesome

Now this was one good game. It deffinatly had some nice backgroundmusic. The graphics were very nice too, good job. I liked it, that you can save and load your game. Very handy, now I don't have to start over and over again. Now some bad things about this. The menu screen looked a bit like the one from Demonic Defence, dunno if this happened accidently or on purpose.
The battling system was very slow, it took quite a while before I finally finished a battle. And the last thing, it would be nice if there were more characters available. I could only pick gandalf here, please add Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Frodo and maybe even some less important people like Boromir, Faramir, Gollum and maybe Arwen. Overall it was still an awesome game, I really liked it, 8 out of 10. Keep up the good work.

There's a little lag.
And about the characters, well, I was too lazy ^^

[Mario Game]

Sorry for the late review, had a lot to do ;)

Well what do I have to say about this? There are many bad things about this game. First of all, it didn't even started at the beginning, I had to do a right-mouse-click before and than I had to press play before I could start. Second, well yes it deffinatly needs some enemies, there is not much of a challenge right now. Third, it needs coins, mushrooms and stuff like that. You know things you can shoot at your enemies and stuff you can collect. Fourth, it looks very much like an ordinary Mario game. Try to be a bit more original with some new ideas. Fifth, it deffinatly needs some sounds and backgroundmusic. Games are always a bit boring without them. Well the good thing about it was that mario was easy to control, I liked that. You probably heard all these things 100 times by now, but I'm not going to read 90 other reviews to check what's all been said before. I can't help you with any actionscripts, I never worked with flash myself. I can only refer you to google, but you probably thought of that yourself, right? Anyway, I hope your next submission is a lot better (and won't get a Turd of the Week), good luck with it.

[Herrera Spirit]

I liked this game

I liked this game actually, I think it deserves a higher score than 2.44 . The bad things about it were the voices. They were very loud, it made them sound awful, please make them a bit less loud. The dancing part was very diffecult and it had very annoying flashing backgrounds. I dunno if you putted this in to make it harder or just to make it look nice, but I prefer a background that stands still. Now on to the good things. The music in it was pretty nice, I liked the guitar sounds. The best about this was that it's not one of those games were you have to do the same the whole time. Because of this you don't get bored so soon. One last thing that I would like to say. It's a nice game, but it's not one of those games that I would like to play over and over again. After you beated the game once, you're not really interested in beating it a second or a third time. Maybe you should make different endings and different "roads" to follow, I'm not sure if that is possible though since the filesize is already 5033.3 kb. Anyway I think you did a great job, keep up the good work.

[FFVII bombing mission]

Still needs a lot of work

This wasn't that bad, but it's still not finished in my opinion. I liked the beginning, nice backgroundmusic. The music was very good in the whole movie actually. When I started the game, I was a bit dissapointed cause Cloud & co. didn't look like Cloud & co. at all. Please make them look a bit more like the characters from Final Fantasy VII. Another bad thing about it was that you can only meet one type of enemy in every area, please make some more enemies. Than the Exp,HP and MP system didn't worked that good. Like at some point I had 4000/4000 experience and didn't rise a level. After the next monster I got 600 exp. than it said 0/8000, shouldn't that be 600/8000? About the HP system, I had 506.25 HP, what kind of a number is that. Please make that 507 HP. At a sudden point I had -34 HP and I could still fight, so it doesn't matter if your dead or not. Another thing that didn't worked, in the big dark maze, I could walk through a lot of walls.

So this review shortened: Make better graphics, fix the things that don't work, give us more enemies, fix the Exp-HP-system. Good luck with the improving and fixing.
