Flaming-Fish's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bubble Adventure]

Improvements for a better game maybe?

Alright, there are two main things I think, this game could really do with to be better.

*I found that everything was too big; being so big, there was a limited view. I would've felt less... trapped or restricted in moving around, and planning where to go next.
*Secondly, Making the game a bit quicker would greatly lessen the repetitivity which many people have been commenting on. I honestly got bored within the first view minutes, mostly feeling impatient with how long it took me to get around.

Over all, this is a great idea of a game with the whole bubbles-popping-and-not-popping-depen ding-on-if-the-platforms-are-or-are-n ot-there concept. Just a little speeding up with the game could really make a difference.

Good luck on your future flash productions!

YAY FISH!

the speed has been varying a lot....it might be your computer:S try lower quality in the pause menu, cos it is fast on my pc and a few of my friends, but a lot of people ahve been comenting on the slowness...so it mught be your computer...

and the limited view? you can change the screen size in the pause menu during the game or in the options menu at the main menu.

[Mastermind: World Conqueror]

Great Game

I don't know if you have ever played the PC game "Evil Genius" but this is a game with a fraction of its classic geniusness. Even if you did rip off the idea, I believe that doing so would be appropriate considering the fact that the series is about an evil "Mastermind".

So what I love about this game type is the power of controlling the world, and all the time getting better at it. I LOVE the humor put into this and have always enjoyed the Mastermind movies.

4/5, 8/10 because:
*Positive: Great Graphics
*Positive: Possibley original game style
*Positive: Replayablity = good
*Positive: Freaking addictive! A great aspect to have in a game!
*Positive: Relativity to the series
*Positive: Many different things to do (patsies, henchmen, upgrades, weps etc.)
*Neutral: Fluid, but a fluid with a bit of chunks of food in it.
*Neutral: Nice movies - gives a good sense of story, but ruins the fluidity (real word?) of the game.
*Negative: Could have used different henchmen instead (or as well) of different weapons. This lets the player know that he/she is actually using something else to take down the tanks/aircraft.
*Negative: Although the turret limit was appropriate, I would have appreciated being able to place them on my own as if it were similar to a tower defense game.
*Negative: I just couldn't figure out how to get a new #2 person. I don't think "Help" helped.
*Negative: I felt that there was a lack of significance with upgrades and mission purpose.

With all those in mind, the positives out weigh the negatives. Not perfect, but still a great game!

[Descent II]

Smooth...

I can't say it was one of my favorite games, but it was quite relaxing. I agree with the windmills being too small but I think the music worked pretty well! It kind of reminded me of thhe ball revamped games, only in a more simple version.

Over all, I didn't particularly like the game because it quickly got repetitive. I give you a 7/10 because I still think the game was pretty well made. I don't think the game is bad, its just not for me.

Good job though!

[Epic War]

Love these games!

I've always been a huge fan of defense games (especially ones like this and age of war) so I was delighted to spend however many hours of my day beating this. Like you said, very addictive. I love the range of upgrades/skills you can get, and the logical fact that you can't buy skill with gold. I liked how you used exp instead. When it comes to improvements, I agree with Gerontius (previous reviewer) about how you can get better than a perfect score and possibley getting an auto-fire option.

I liked how the game wasn't too easy, but not too hard. If I could rate the difficulty, I would give it a 4 (1 being easiest, 10 being hardest) because after you get all of the crossbow upgrades, you can hold the enemy army at bay easily (as previously mentioned). But that wasn't a problem for me as I loved seeing the enemies fly into the air and exploding like fireworks when hit by arrows :D

I liked how the final battle had a boss at the end. I think that bosses at the end of certain levels throughout the game tends to ruin it. The boss forced me to replay other levels until I had enough exp to get every upgrade and skill to defend against it 'til the very end.

You put in a good range of of creatures to summon (but shouldn't the golems be on the enemy side and the centaurs be on the player's side? Just a thought), and just the right amount of skills to use. I felt like I had a good range of arrows to shoot and traps/turrets to lay out but didn't feel overwhelmed with the variety.

Probably my only complaint would be that the game verged on tediousness at the end although I can't really think of a solution for that.

It's always great to find a good game on newgrounds and I hope you make more!

[Binary Translator]

Useful

Very well made, and it's a pretty useful gadget. The only thing I would want would be a Binary - English as well as English - Binary.

Alas, no binary written review for you, sorry.

[Tainted Kingdom]

Awesome

Satisfying, and is no worse than any other games you have made. For me, not very replayable but I'm still happy with it :D Great job!

[Damn Birds]

Awesome! But...

This game is so good, that I am disappointed to express my disappointment with the fact that you can die so easily, and that you have to start all over again. After dying for the fifth time, I just gave up.

Otherwise, it was a very good game. I liked the feathers going up when you shoots bird, and simple variety of weapons to choose from. Great job!

[QOTLD: Zombie Analyzer]

Better than I expected

I like the game for the fact that it works. It does what you say it will (though with the random games i started to wonder) and has a bit of humor thrown in. Good job, but not great.

[Castle Crashing the Beard]

Wow. Simple and great.

Although the game was short, a game doesn't need to be long to be great. My recommendatioon would be to probably add more levels so that the player could get more into it. For me, just playing the game over and over agsin isn't enough. But over all, 9/10!

[Iron Works]

w00t! Great game!

Now, personally I haven't played many of these types of games before. I didn't even know there was such a genre as bubble shooters or something. whatever. Anyway, I have to say this is a great game. Now there's a difference between a white background and simply colored circles being shot, but I think that the background and layout of a game can really affect the enjoyment of the player. I think that the difficulty of the game increased at a steady pace, letting the player get more used to the game until they decide its too fast. In conclusion, I'd say that this is a definate 10/10!
