Auz's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Run Ronaldo Run]

Funny

Hehe, funny game, not too hard, not too easy. Good graphics, nice music (liked the song a lot). I couldn´t discover many bad things. I found one though. When you grabbed a golden shoe and a hamburger at the same time, it counted as -10 speed. I had 110 speed and Crespo was right behind me, while normally Crespo should be nearly of the screen. Maybe you can fix this.

What also annoyed me a bit was that many times when you grabbed a golden shoe, you couldn´t avoid a hamburger/milkshake lying right behind it. And cause of what I mentioned above, this oftenly counted as -10.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Well the only way to improve this even more is by adding more powerups and stuff, but it´s still a very nice, funny game if you keep it this way. Hope to see some more of these, keep up the good work. Oh and about Ronaldo. Don´t forget he is Brazils topscorer again this WC with 3 goals. I know he´s not as good as he used to be, but there were many others who dissapointed as well.

[FlashMotion: Bubble Burst]

Please make a lot more of these

Whan an incredibly cool game. I´ve been here for quite a long time now, but I´ve never played a game were you had to use your webcam before. I never played eyetoy either, so these games are quite new to me. Anyway, it´s much more interactive then games were you just have to use your mouse and keyboard, I like that. It´s also pretty funny to see yourself making all those weird movements in front of the PC, so I gave some points for humor as well.

The only bad part about this game is that it´s only one type of game, bursting bubbles. I really hope you can add a few more minigames in your next version, cause playing the same game over and over again does get boring after a while of course. You could add some other stuff as well, like options to turn the music off and on etc. It´s not really necessary, but still nice.

Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5. Well what I think was a little annoying is that if I move to the right, I move to the left on the screen, but this is probably cause of my webcam like you said. Anyway, I would give this a 10 if you would add a few more minigames to this. I´m looking forward to your next version, keep up the excellent work.

EliteNewbie responds:

i was planning on creating a little fun pack, but didn't actually think the game would be so well liked :D i'm definitly planning for more, and have some stuff already in the works :D They are even more different than this... lets just hope my maths is as good as my ideas :D

[Penalty Shootout Junkies]

Good game

Nice game, but there are still plenty of things to improve. First, it´s annoying that you have to walk to the goal after you take a penalty. It is funny though that you can punch your opponent along the way, but that´s quite pointless. You can´t KO your opponent or anything, so the walking is just a waste of time in my opinion.

Second, well it would be nice if there some sort of competition in it. With different levels and such. Now you just take five penalties, save five penalties if you can and you´re done. Gets a little boring after a few matches.

Third, just some small details. Maybe you should draw lines on the field to make it look a little bit nicer. Also the balls stay on the field so in the end, the field looks like a mess. I think you should just make the balls vanish after the penalty is taken.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Well it was a pretty good game. I liked the sounds and the music, and the graphics were very good as well. Anyway, I´m looking forward to your next football game. Keep up the good work.

[Mobile Weapon Zero]

Nice game

Graphics: These were pretty good. The special effects could improve a little bit maybe. Sometimes they didn´t looked that good, but everything else looked fine.

Sounds: The sounds were very good as well. The music was also okay. Maybe you should add a few more songs for the battles though, the song got a little annoying after a while. Luckily you could turn it off.

Interactivity: The controls aren´t diffecult, which is good. You also added plenty of stuff like: a save option, quality settings, music off-on, a map etc. Very nice.

Other stuff: Well I think you should expand the game a bit, by adding more different enemies for example. There are only five or six different enemies in total, please add some more. Also more attacks would be nice. I can only choose to use a blade or a gun. Other things you could add are: more areas, more items to buy (different shoes to run faster? something so that your energy recharges more quickly?), more buildings...

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Very nice game, I liked it. Also a little easy though. After you get the celestial armor it´s almost impossible to lose a fight. And the armor isn´t too hard to get, just get a lot of cash and go to the pub. Anyway, keep up the excellent work and congrats on the daily fifth.

[Mysterious Colors]

Pretty good game

This was a pretty good game. The first few rounds are pretty easy, but later on it get´s incredibly hard. That´s a good thing, keeps the game interesting. I also liked the idea of this game. It´s very simple and still very enjoyable. However, there is still plenty of room for improvement.

First, you added too many songs in this. This annoyed me a little after a while. The levels don´t take that long and every time I finish a few levels, a new song starts. Please just add one song, or add something so that we can change the songs ourselves if we like. Second, your high-score list doesn´t seem to work. I´m sure I should be in there twice, but I don´t see my name anywhere. Please fix this. Third, I didn´t liked the graphics much. It seems to be a few drawing-styles in one (know what I mean?). You should draw everything in one style, I think that would look much better.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Well this was a pretty good game in my opinion. I enjoyed it. But I must admit, it got a little boring after a couple of minutes. Well anyway, I hope you´ll improve your work a little. Keep up the good work.

[Gekisen card game]

Very addicting

A very nice game and very addicting too. I played this game quite a lot the last couple of days, I really like strategy games like this. Still there were a few things that I didn´t liked much. The graphics, sounds and all that shit are okay. Maybe you should add some music during the battles, but that´s the only thing. It´s more about the cards.

Sometimes you can be so much better then your opponent. Like you got much more defence, offence and hazumi, but if he uses a card like "Over confidence", you can be death in one hit. Or he could use a card like thief and switch offense or defence with you. Then he suddenly has a lot of defence/offence. That annoyed me a little. Also if you are bleeding or if the opponent is regenerating, it´s almost certain that you´re gonna lose, cause you never get "medical herb" or "vorpal blade" when you need them.

One last thing, the opponent always seems to have the right cards. For example: when I increase defence/offence, he lowers it back to 0 the turn after. It´s okay if that happens when you´re at the end of the game, but that happened to me even in the beginning. You would almost say the computer is cheating.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Well even though there are a few annoying things, I still like this game a lot. I hope you´ll make some more of these. Keep up the good work.

[Major Madness]

Good game

Graphics: These were deffinatly not bad. Everything looks pretty good to me. I like your drawing style a lot, the special effects were alright as well, not much to complain about.

Sound: I think the machine gun has a good sound when you fire. Normally you would get a little annoyed, but this machine guns sound was not annoying at all. As for the music, I think you should turn that up a little, I could barely hear it.

Interactivity: Simple controls, which is nice. I also liked the high score list, but I don´t think it was really a high score list. I was ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th and I didn´t even got passed level 2. Maybe you should turn that into a real high score list, would be much better.

Stuff that needs improvement:
-Well some enemies fired way to quickly. Sometimes I didn´t even saw them yet and they already shot me. This is alright for the higher levels, but not at level one.
-There´s plenty of ammo coming from the air, but it´s still not enough. You get about 30 bullets for every package now right? I think you should make that 50 or 60.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. This was a very nice game in my opinion. I don´t think you can improve this game much. Hope to see some more of this stuff from you. Keep up the excellent work.

[Virtual Champions League]

Probably best football game I´ve ever seen on NG

Things to improve:
-The computer scores in almost every one on one situation and they even score all the way from their own goal. It would be nice if the computer missed a little more often, cause the game got pretty hard cause of that.
-Turning around was very annoying. It went way too slow and when you turned around against another player, he always gets the ball. It happened so many times that I turned around, the opponent stole the ball from me and then it was a 3 on 1 situation which almost always resulted in a goal. Perhaps you should make the players turn around directly.
-Another thing that annoyed me a little was that you cannot decide which player you want to control. Sometimes I passed from the left to the right, but the cursor-thingie went to the player in the middle and I lose the ball cause I´m walking in the wrong direction. I think you should add that you can switch players when you press space or some other button.
-I think you should also add a powerbar for your shots somewhere. Sometimes I barely seemed to touch the ball when I shot and sometimes the ball bounced back all the way to my own goal. This was a little confusing, so please add a powerbar somewhere.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Well I´ve seen better games then this, but it was still very good. Probably the best football game I´ve seen on Newgrounds so far. I really liked that you used real clubs and real players for this. Anyway, I hope you´ll improve the stuff I mentioned above. Keep up the excellent work.

[Hop To The Top]

Very addictive

Good things:
-Graphics, sounds and music were very good in my opinion.
-The menu with all the game modes, high scores etc. was very nice.
-The idea of the game is very simple. I like simple games like this and I haven´t really seen anything like this before.
-All the powerups and downs were good. They make the game a lot more fun. Perhaps you should add even more =)

Bad things:
-What did sucked was that many times you could not avoid a powerdown. There´s always only one way to go and you can´t jump over them. This annoyed me a bit, so maybe you should add some more of those platforms so that you can choose which way to go.
-I saw at the high scores that there should be a helicopter mode somewhere, but I couldn´t find it on the menu. I hope you´ll still add that.
-Well not really a bad thing, just an idea. Perhaps you could add a few clouds, the sun and stuff like that at the background just to make it look nice.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Well it was indeed a very addictive game and it´s probably the best thing I´ve seen today. I don´t think you can improve this that much, so good job. Keep up the excellent work.

[Amazeing Knight]

Not bad

Well it was deffinatly not bad, but I just don´t like these kinda games that much. I always get very annoyed by those narrow passages. When I rest my hand, my mouse always moves a little so that I always hit the wall and that happened to me many times while I was playing this game. Those rivers with logs annoyed me even more. I did managed to get past the first one (about level 8 I think), but the second one was way too diffecult. Luckily the "right mouse button => Play"-trick worked here =)

Anyway, there was still some good stuff in this, some things I haven´t seen before in these kinda games. Gathering the sword and shield was new to me. I liked that a lot, although I think you should´ve added some more logs and enemies so that you use them more often. The second thing I liked was that there was a boss in this game. He wasn´t too diffecult though, you just have to hit him three times and that´s it. I was thinking, maybe you should be able to cut his legs instead of it´s head. I think that would be cool and it takes some more hits to defeat him then. The moving across rivers was also new to me, but as I mentioned above, I didn´t liked that much. The leaves were alright though.

Some ideas to improve this:
-Add some different music. The current music was a little weird. The boss theme was okay.
-Maybe you should add some more different areas in this like caves, beaches, mountains, swamps etc. You could for example add some lava next to the path when you´re in the cave.
-More stuff to collect is always nice. I was thinking about keys to open doors or gates with.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Well like I said I don´t like these kinda games much, but I can see you´ve putted quite some work in it and you had some good ideas. Expand it a bit more, improve it a little at some places and I´m sure it will stand a good chance to win an award. Keep it up.
