Auz's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beat up Backstreet Boys!]

You should expand this a little

Meh, looked kinda cool, but this is not something that I would wanna play twice. Actually it's something that you'll play for about 30 seconds and then you never play it again. Ow well, it was pretty cool anyways.

You could add some extra things to make it a bit more interesting. You could add some Backstreet Boys backgroundmusic for example, this needed some music. You could also add some kind of menu-screen for every backstreet boy. In that menu, you can choose if you want to use a shotgun on him, use a flamethrower on him, blow him up, punch him, kick him, stab him etc. That'll make the game a lot cooler. Also, it would be nice if you added N'Sync and 98 degrees as well and maybe even more famous people like Bush etc. That'll make the game even more fun.

Anyway, overall I'd give this 6 out of 10. Like I already said, lot of fun to play it once, but twice is a little boring. You should expand it a little with more options etc. Well good luck with any future projects I'd say.

[Man-o-Rope]

Practice a bit more

Meh, I don't know. It's not really crap and I can see that there has been some effort putten into this, but on the other hand it's not really a good, entertaining game. It's good that you added so many levels, but after you finished level 5, it became quite boring.

So this still needs some extra work. First of all, I think it would be better if you added some backgroundmusic. That's probably the most important thing. You could also add some more sounds, when you go to the next level for example. Second, the grey background was kinda boring and the graphics could use a little improvement at some places. Third, some levels seemed to be easier then the levels before or at least in my opinion. Of course you should make level 1 the easiest and level 21 the hardest. Fourth, you could add some more items. I've seen a broom, hamburgers and something that gives you an extra live, but you could also add something that gives you more speed or something that makes you invincible for a short time. Fifth, not really important, but you need to work a bit on your English. I don't give a damn about this, but there are some people who get pretty irritated cause of that.

Anyways, overall I'd give it 5 out of 10, 2 out of 5. Like I said, you need some more practice. It wasn't really bad for one of your first games, but I've seen better then this. Hopefully, you'll use some of my advice. Well I wish you good luck with any future projects.

[Zelda_Flash_Back]

Expand this game please

Say, am I wrong or is it true that you can only run around in circles, check 1 house and talk to a couple of persons? I've been running around for a couple of minutes checking out almost everything, but nothing happened.

I really hope you'll add a lot more stuff in this. Like more areas, chickens (they're fun), something that makes link attack (a sword obviously or something more original ;) ), make us able to enter all the four houses, items that you can collect etc. The game will surely be a lot more interesting if you add all this. Also make sure that you add some sounds then, when Link attacks for example. You could also add a storyline, I hope you'll add an original one if you do. Not something with Ganondorf again, but if you can't think of anything else, just add Ganondorf. The music in this was also nice, but I wouldn't have choosen Saria Song. I would choose the Kakariko Village music, if you know which song I mean. You could add Saria Song for some forest area.

The best part in this was probably the graphics, even though they were sprites, they were still pretty nice. Also, the movie didn't ran shocky if you know what I mean, that's a pretty important thing.

Anyway, overall I'd give this 5 out of 10, 2 out of 5. I think this game is still not finished. I'll hope you'll put some extra work in it, cause it shows some potential. Expand the game a bit and I think it might get a pretty high score. Well keep it up and good luck with any future projects.

[Hopper's Day in HELL]

Needs a lot of extra work..

Meh, not really a good game I would say. This game was getting quite boring after a while. Actually, I've seen people doing worse with their first games, but I've seen people doing better as well. It still needs a lot of extra work in my opinion.

There were a couple of bad things about this movie. First of all, when that giant killer lava bubble hit's you, you lose a whole lot of points (about 500 points a second) and it was really hard to get so many points. At a certain point a got a score of about -2000 cause of this. Please make it about -25 a second or something. Second, the graphics could use a little improvement at some places. They were not crappy, but I've seen better. Third, at the beginning I thought the screaming noise was kinda funny when you were burned. Later on it really annoyed me and made me turn my speakers off. Please change it into some different sound. Fourth, I played this game for a couple of minutes and I've seen only 1 hidden portal that was there for about less then 1 second. How am I ever going to win this game if it's so incredibly hard to get into a portal? Fifth, like I already said, the game was getting quite boring after a while. You should at some extra stuff, like more enemies, more ways to receive points, more levels, powerups (like one that let's you move faster for example), some platforms where you can jump on etc. Those things will make the game a lot more interesting, I'm sure.

Overall I'd give this 4 out of 10, 2 out of 5. Like I said, this stuff needs a lot of extra work. I saw that you were planning to make a sequel, hopefully that one will be a lot better then this version. I hope you'll improve and add some of the things I wrote in this review. Anyway good luck with making the sequel I guess.

[Flash4beginners]

Good tutorial

This is a pretty good tutorial. If I ever get my lazy ass to work on flash, I'll probably use this one. It gives a good explanation about most things and it's not really that boring at all.

I kinda liked the pre-loader of this, lol. We both like the same game ;) The menu-screen was also very good, I liked the music. There were a lot of things I could learn about here, that's good, I don't want to check out 89 other things before I finally know how to use sprites. Everything gives a good explanation and there were even examples you could download. You know, maybe you should add a pause or a slow-down button, cause the mouse-arrow went a bit to fast for me sometimes and I didn't really knew what it was exactly doing.

Another thing, some of the tutorials didn't seem to have a "get back to main menu"-button (like the compressing tutorial). I could be wrong though, but I think it would be better if you double checked to be sure. I'm not so sure cause I didn't set the screen on 1024x768 so there might be something at the bottom of the screen. If they do not have one, I suggest you fix that cause it's quite annoying.

Anyway, I think you made a pretty good tutorial. Like I said, I think I would use it if I ever gonna do anything with flash. I've seen a couple of flash tutorials before, but I think this one was the best. Overall I'd give it 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Well keep up the excellent work and good luck with any future projects.

GAMECUBICLE responds:

Thanks, all subjects did have a MAIN MENU button though, it was in the right bottom corner of each section, you cant see it if you use 800x600

Btw, ik ben ook nederlands, ennuhh... ZELDA PWNS!

[Barneveld 2]

Didn't really improved that much..

Meh, has improved a tiny little bit, but not that much. I hope part 3 will be a lot better than 1 and 2. This still has most of the downsides of Barneveld 1.

First of all, the letters at the menu screen are still to small, quite hard to read them. You should make them bigger. Second, the graphics could use some improvement here and there, they weren't really that good. Third, it still has the same amount of types of attacks barneveld 1 has. You should really make more (earth, wind, thunder, water etc.). Also buying magic attacks is a bit weird, you should make the character earn them somehow. Fourth, I think you should at some different music. The current music is actually a bit boring. The sounds were kinda okay. Fifth, the game was kinda like the same the whole time, fighting shopping fighting shopping and that was it. A little bit more variety would make the game a lot more interesting. Sixth, if you loaded the game, you still heard the menu screen music and the fighting music at the same time. I hope you'll fix this, cause it's a bit annoying.

Overall I'd give this 5 out of 10, 2 out of 5. I think this game was a bit boring, didn't really enjoyed playing this. Like I said, this really hasn't improved that much from part 1. If you are ever gonna make a Barneveld 3, please make sure that it's a lot better then 1 and 2. Good luck if your ever going to make that part.

[Servbot Slasher]

Kinda okay

Meh, this is kinda okay. It's deffinalty not perfect, but it was also deffinatly not bad for one of your first games. Just keep practising and I'm sure you'll make something very good one day.

There were a couple of bad things in this movie. First of all, I think you should add some levels and you should make the enemies do anything back. You know, add a healthbar and stuff like that. You could also add more areas for the different levels. Second, the graphics could use a little improvement here and there. Not that they were that bad, but I've seen better. Third, I think you should add something so that you can actually cut with your sword, not just moving over the guys so that their heads go off. Fourth, adding a story was nice, but a bit pointless. Again I would like to say, at levels and put the story between those levels.

The music and the sounds were the good part in this. I liked that Chinese kind of music. The sounds were also kinda okay, could use some sounds for the guys that get their heads cut off, maybe something like: "AAH". Anyway, the music was surely the best part.

So overall, I'd give this movie 5 out of 10, 2 out of 5. Like I already said, not bad for one of your first games, but it could be better. I hope you'll do better in the future. If you need any ideas, I suggest you go and play Ronin~Spirit-of-the-Sword, it's probably somewhere in the top 50. So good luck with any future projects you were planning (or making this a bit more interesting like you said).

[Steel Tank]

Yeah, I enjoyed

Say, this was a pretty cool game. I think you did pretty well for one of your first games here. The idea is also quite original in my opinion, I haven't seen much of this stuff yet here on NG.

Well of course this movie had a couple of bad things. First, when you drive againts something, it only counts when you hit it with the front of the tank. You should fix this and make the whole tank count. Second, the path your driving on could use a little bit more variety. It only had grass and some mud or sand and it didn't changed or something. You should also add some more stuff on the road, fences for example. Third, it would be cool if you could shoot when you clicked with the mouse, it is a tank after all.

This movie also had a couple of good things. First of all, the music and the sounds were very good. I liked the music, it suited the movie well. Second, like I already said, I haven't seen many games like this before on NG. Third, good that you added a diffecullity (spelled wrong probably) selecter. Cause of that, the game doesn't get boring to quickly. Fourth, I liked the sheep that were crossing the road. They weren't really that important, but it was kinda funny to drive over them =)

So overall I'd give this game 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Like I already said, I think you did pretty well here. I hope you'll improve this game and add some extra stuff to make it even more fun. Anyway I wish you good luck with any other games or movies you were going to make in the future.

[Character Profile]

Mweh, wasn't really that exciting

Mwah, wasn't really that entertaining. It isn't really crap, cause I can see there has been some effort putten into this, but it isn't really what I would call good either. I'm not really sure about what was the meaning of this was actually, was this really all about the character profiles?

Anyway, let me tell you a couple of bad things about this. First of all, the graphics. You should really improve them if you want a higher score. Second, I think this needs some better music, I didn't really liked the current backgroundmusic. But than again that's just me, others may liked the music maybe. Third, I noticed some spelling mistakes. They don't really bother me that much, but some people get pretty pissed off cause of that. Fourth, well if this was really all about the character profiles it wasn't really interesting, you should really make a game out of it.

So overall I'd give this submission 4 out of 10, 2 out of 5. I hope you'll practice a little bit more so you can submit something good here. Good luck with any future flash projects if you were planning any.

[Punch Blood]

Nothing really interesting here

Well this passed judgement, but it was pretty close with a score of 1.68. This game wasn't really a lot of fun, I mean, you just watched the 3 options you had and then you were done, pretty boring if you ask me. I think you should add some more things so that it'll be a little bit more interesting.

First of all, you should add some (more) color to the game, very important in a good submission. Second, maybe you should add some backgroundmusic. The sounds were kinda okay by the way, you could add some piano sounds when the piano dropped on the guy's head. Third, you need to make some more options so that people will play this game a little longer. You could also add a storyline in this, I know it'll probably be pretty hard, but I hope you can think of a way to add one.

Of course there were also some good things in this game. The drawing were pretty good and I liked the style. Like I already said, the sounds were kinda okay in this, could use some more, but they were nice.

So overall I'd give this game 5 out of 10, 2 out of 5. I think you're capable of making a very good game/movie so I'll hope you'll make one soon. This game was a little boring though, too bad. Anyway good luck with any flashes you're going to make in the future.
