CrowTheGuy's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Slope Dude]

Um, well... Decent, working game I guess. Neat graphics and cool game play I guess. My list of problems are as follows.
1: No Music: Maybe you have no royalty-free ambient music, but come on. Complete silence isn't cool.
2: Loud as balls sound: Never mind about complete silence, a volume bar would've been nice.
3: Somewhat buggy controls/Game: Sometimes the controls don't respond. At all. Other times there's lag in between the key press and the movement. Then, there's the fact of "You actually clip through the trees and walls but a Game Over screen pops up when you touch one." which actually causes the sound to bug out. There are some other minor things, but I'm not nitpicking here.
4: Bland: It's really disinteresting. Not a bad game or concept, the art and everything about it is bland though. Maybe other people will enjoy it more than I, but I personally don't like it.
However, as a plus to you, the game's addicting. I'm still playing it. It's decently hard, and I like that. Overall, I would not recommend this game, but I can see how other people would.

Thanks for the review; I somehow haven't seen it until now. I do agree with most of your points, and I won't make the same mistakes in any future games.

The trees, though, I actually set the collision box to just the trunk so that you can still ski through the branches. I can see now how that looks a little glitchy, but it was intended to make the game more fun and not crazy difficult. I made this game on Stencyl, which is generally pretty buggy software, so I'm convinced the audio bugs were on their end at the time. I noticed them myself, but my game was so simple I was sure nothing was wrong, and there was really nothing I could do about it to fix it.

Thanks for playing enough to make all those points though, I respect that.

[Deity Pong]

Well... what can I say? It's Pong, a game that was revolutionary for... being a game, and you put a great spin on an old title. I love the music, and the sounds give it a futuristic vibe, which I like. The graphics are pleasing to the eye, the power-ups are fun and balanced, and there's just something about the color of the ball changing with who hit it last that I like. I see only 2 things wrong, which don't even warrant a lowered rating. The first is a problem with the music that's playing. Yeah, I get it, it's royalty free, and it's good to hear the first maybe 9 times, but after a while, that same music starts to feel repetitive and all of a sudden that pumping music that got you ready to play the game is a blade gleaming dully slashing into your ears!
Woah. Didn't realize I felt that strongly about that.
Ahem, as I was saying, my other one is a problem, again, with the music. The music that plays when you get a power-up doesn't layer well at all with the music that's always playing. Either have one or the other. Preferably the power-up music so that we don't have to always listen to that music (besides clicking the mute button, thank you for that btw).
Basically what I'm saying is you did a fantastic job. This will probably net you a high ranking on the top games. Hopefully you keep making games.
Best wishes,

Thanks for the awesome review! I'll begin working on improving and replacing the current game music now. It should be sorted by the end of today :). This will be just the beginning
, we will be making many more games in the future.

[SANIC 2: RINGS RUSH]

Okay, I'm going to admit it here, I PLAYED THIS GAME CONSECUTIVELY 14 TIMES BECAUSE OF HOW FUN AND ADDICTIVE IT IS. I love this game. The game play is genuinely fun, I like collecting a bunch of rings and the chaos emeralds, and when the missiles come in, WOOO! It's such a rush when you duck just under a missile to get that one last ring, or that one final chaos emerald! And going super sonic really balances it out, the fact that you can get an invincibility power AND said invincibility power allows you to take out your rage on those rockets- TAKE THAT ROCKETS!- makes it really fun as well. The last this is the setting in of the pressure when several missiles are coming down and you're almost out of time and you have no rings AND- NOOOO! I FAILED! The speed makes the game both easy and hard at the same time. The missiles move kind of slowly, making your super speed kind of worthless when they're in the way, but at the same time with the amount of rings you need and the time you have, speeD IS KEEEEEY! I said it once and I'll say it again, I LOVE THIS GAME! This game needs to instantly be placed on the front page! Keep making games like this and you will have all the fly honeys and all the cash moneys!

kayron1337 responds:

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and telling me all the things you enjoyed about it as it's humbling and much appreciated! I tried my best to balance the gameplay around going fast but still avoiding the missiles. You get rewarded for not being hit at all and punished for being hit while still giving you a chance to redeem yourself with the random gems that can appear.

The highest scores come from consistently getting 300 rings without being hit to force out chaos emeralds. That allows you to get Super Sonic quickly and as often as your skill allows! Please share this game with friends and anyone you know so it can make it to the front! I will continue to improve it to make it clearer the bonuses you get from collecting rings on the HUD once this project finally makes it out from here and I'll listen to everyone's input because without you all I wouldn't be able to create or improve this game!

[Google Quiz]

The platforming is somewhat entertaining, I'll give you that, but the quiz part AND THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED, are both annoying. You should just get if the answer is correct or incorrect, and then to get to the next question you have to do the platformer. But to have to go through the platformer area JUST to figure out whether the answer is right or wrong is just GOD. DAMNED. ANNOYING.

ClickToAnswer responds:

I just wanted to make the game difficult to finish,but I guess it wasn't a good idea. I updated the game now you can progress to the next level even though you answered incorrectly :)
