Auz's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Create a Creature]

Mweh, wasn't that good

No, it's deffinatly not perfect, I wouldn't really consider it good either. Most of these games are not that much fun, they're actually a bit boring. Maybe you should check out some other dress-up games to get some ideas on how to make this game better.

Anyway, the game had some bad things. First of all, it really needs some music and some sounds maybe. Without music, the game is even more boring. I prefer no heavy-metal and stuff like that on these kind of games, but that's my opinion. Second, the screensize was a bit too big, I couldn't see every item at full. Third, maybe you should add some cool extra stuff, like eastereggs (know what I mean?).

Well the good thing about this game was that the things you could dress the head up with looked pretty cool. The file-size wasn't too big either, that's good, I don't have to wait that long before it is loaded than.

Well anyway, overall I'd give this 4 out of 10. Like I said, it wasn't that good, a little boring actually. I ain't that interested in a second version, but maybe it'll be a lot better, who knows? Good luck with any future projects.

[Ball Room Hard Mode.]

Not really entertaining

I don't know why you had to make two submissions for this. The filesizes weren't that big, so I think you should have made one game with an easy and a hard mode.

Well both games were pretty much the same, I don't think the hard version was that much harder than the easy version. The only difference was that the ball moved a bit faster on the hard version, but because of that, I had a higher score on this version actually.
I saw that you made the game a bit easier, but I think you shouldn't have done that.

Anyway, the game wasn't really funny to play at all. There was barely any challenge in this. I think you should at some levels were you have to get a minimumscore to get to the next level and maybe some cool powerups. It could also use some backgroundmusic or something, now it only had 2 different sounds and that was it, pretty boring if you ask me. The graphics were nothing special, just some walls, a ceiling and a floor in the same color. The ball looked pretty good, but I think you should work a bit on the balls shadow, cause that looked a bit weird sometimes. The whole idea of the game was not very original, I've played these kind of games a lot of times, you should make this game different than the ordinary ballgames in some way.

So overall, I'd give this a 3 out of 10, I hope you'll work on this game and make it different than the others. Good luck with any future projects.

Not bad for your first try, but..

Well this wasn't really that bad for your first try, but some things about it could be better. It already started in the menu screen. I had a pretty hard time reading the very small letters. The graphics were not that bad, but they could be a bit better in my opinion. The game could also use some more attacks. Maybe thunder attacks, earth attacks, wind attacks, water attacks and different sword techniques for example. It was a bit weird that I had to buy ice and fire attacks, there should be some other way to get them. I think the experience points should have some more use as well. Make levels or make them upgrade the characters stats or something.

The fact that you could save your game was good, but there were some things that went wrong. First of all, when I loaded my game, I heard the menu music and the battle music at the same time. Second, when I went game over I simply had to load the game again and I could battle on. He had the same amount of HP he had when I died, I can only take one hit so I can attack him once, than I went game over and I could load again. Repeat this and you can win every battle. Third, I once loaded the game and I immediatly had to battle against the final boss, which I only attacked once and I defeated him =S. So I'll hope you'll fix these things or maybe you should add a password system instead of the saving/loading.

Overall I'd say this was pretty good for your first try. I'd give it 5 out of 10, so I think I'll vote 2 or 3. Good luck with improving this.

[Mini Indy]

I've seen this before

You know, this looks a bit too much like some other car game I played quite a while ago. The only thing different is the car, the other one had a lotus. Please come up with an original idea next time. The lotus looked a lot better than the car this game had actually, you should at least make this car look a bit better.

The game could also use more tracks (I prefer long ones), more cars, some power-ups that make your car drive faster so that the game will be a lot more fun and some computer opponents maybe(be sure to make the track wider so that you don't bump into the other cars the whole time).

Well I hope your next submission will be a lot better, for now I'll give it 4 out of 10 so I'll vote a 2. Good luck with any submissions your going to make in the future.

[Mario Adventure Game +]

Still needs some extra work

Well this wasn't that good, it still needs some extra work. First of all, good that you added backgroundmusic, but I think you should have added some more sounds as well. Right now it only had sounds when he dies, you should add some when he jumps for example. The graphics were kinda okay, not that they were very good or something, but I've seen worse.

The storyline and the length of the game were the worst things about this. The beginning didn't made any sense, Peach was suddenly turned to stone by.. nothing??? Well it would have been better if you had added Bowser or at least some other evil character and offcourse a couple of enemies.

Here's a little idea about what you could do with enemies: The enemies attack you and you have to press the right arrow within a certain amount of time. You can see the arrows so that you know which direction you should jump. After jumping or seeking for cover, Mario kills him in some way.

The game was also very short, it takes less than a minute to complete this game even if you took the wrong choice every time. Maybe you should add some more levels and different worlds were you must travel to.

Well I hope your next submission will be a lot better. Overall I'd give it a 4, so I'll probably vote 2. Good luck with any movies or other games you were going to make in the future.

nickcivi responds:

Thank you for the suggestions my next game will include some of those ideas, but I don't enjoy working on this flash enough to edit it any more because of my other projects.

[Skeeball]

pretty funny for a short while, but...

It was pretty funny for a short while, but I got bored with this pretty soon. This movie really needs some stuff like levels and powerups. Well I think levels are the most important thing you should add. Make something like a timer where you have to get a certain amount of points within the time limit or you could add a computer opponent or just something else. At least make the game more of a challenge. As for the powerups, well maybe something that makes you throw harder (it was pretty hard to hit the 100 points target) and if you add a timer, something that makes the time run slower. As for the rest of the game, it could use some better graphics as well. Not that these graphics were that bad, but they were not so very special in my opinion. And the last thing, I think you should add some different backgroundmusic. The current backgroundmusic was a bit annoying. Well I hope your next submission is a lot better. I'll give this a 3 (out of 10) so I'll vote 2 for it. Good luck with any games or movies your going to make in the future.

[Clay Interactive Game]

Usually I don't like clay, but this was allright

Well usually I don't really like any stuff that has anything to do with clay, but I think this one was allright. I haven't seen anything like this before with clay, so I think it's an original idea. Some things about this could be better though. First of all, maybe you should make the screensize a little bit bigger and add some subtitles. Sometimes I think it was hard to understand what the guy was saying. Some backgroundmusic might make this movie a little better as well, but I don't think it really needs that. These were the reasons why I gave you a pretty low score for sound. Second, I think the main character should look a bit better. At least give him some eyes, a nose and a mouth. Third, the most important thing, it really needs to be longer. It takes about 1 minute to finish this game. Make a bigger world, give us more things to do and more decisions to make, add some more other people, give us items and money. If you do all this, be sure to make something like a checkpoint so that you don't have to start all over again when your game over. These were about all the bad things in my opinion. Overall I would say that it was a decent little game, a little short, but kinda okay. I think I'll vote a 3 for this. Good luck with any stuff your gonna make in the future.

[Dragonfire: The Lost Soul]

I hope you'll improve this game

It had a promising title for sure and the idea was pretty good. I liked the idea of making it in 3D, but you deffinatly need to improve the graphics. The demons looked weird, the main character himself didn't looked very good and you should use more colors than orange and brown. Make it look more like a forest, give the trees some leaves and give us the idea that we are walking on grass or in the mud. It was also hard to see when you could hit an enemy and when not. Sometimes the enemy stood a couple of meters from me, but when I swinged my sword, I killed him. Because of this it's also hard to see which enemy hits you and the game became pretty hard, even at level 1. That was it for the graphics, now I have to say, the music was good. Maybe you should add some more sounds, sounds when you walk, sounds when you hit a demon with your sword etc. That will make the game a little better. Well I deffinatly hope you'll improve this game, it's a great idea like I already said. Good luck with improving it.

Scross responds:

there are sounds for both your suggestions...(message to the dude) and please don't criticise the death noise lol, just give me another one somehow (message to everyone)

[Weather]

Funny for a while, but.....

Well it was pretty funny for I while, but it's not something that I would play over and over again. After you watched all the 4 things once, there is nothing more you can do. So I think you should add more types of weather, like a blizzard, hail, a tornado, rainstorms and maybe sandstorms or something. But than again after you've seen all these it's the same story, you get bored =(. Well anyway the graphics were pretty good, they could use some more color maybe, but they were not bad. Maybe you should add some extra things on the background as well, it only had 2 big buildings right now and that was it, add some trees and stuff like that. Some music would make it a little better as well. Anyway, overall it was nice to watch the movies for a while, I hope you'll get better in the future. Good luck with any movies or other games your going to make.

[target practice squirty]

Needs some more work

This really needs some more work. First of all, add a background. The current background was very boring. Second, please add something like a timer and levels, so that the game is more of a challenge. Third, add more guns, you only had that little hand gun to shoot with and that was it. Give us machine guns and stuff like that. Fourth, please make some enemies that shoot back, the targets were not hard to hit at all and there was no way you could lose this game. If your gonna make enemies, also add something that we must reload after shooting 7 times or something and a health bar off course. Fifth, I didn't really liked the backgroundmusic, but that's just my opinion, others may like it. At least you putted some music in, that is a good thing I guess. Please fix and add all these things, it'll make the game a lot better I think. Good luck with improving.

squirtypants responds:

i've got a new shooter in the works that isn't a "target practice" it will have enemies, and already has a reload requirement after 11 shots, and bullet holes that appear, it's quite a bit of new programming to me, so it should be much better, it's Gold Kugel, i dunno if you even care, I know this flash was crappy, i just put it out cuz i put the other game out and didn't want just one thing in, well anyways, thanks for the useful feedback..... hopefully i can finish up this next game soon and you and the rest of newgrounds will like it...
