webchameleon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Journeys of Reemus: Ch.1]

Alright!

I've been waiting for this. This installment wasn't as difficult as the previous', but I enjoyed playing it a lot. Are you reincorporating the monster from "The Visitor" into the story?

[Desert Dash!]

I don't know.

This seems to have the same failures of Mad Vlad. The level design is pretty good (even if it looks recycled from old projects), but everything else sort of sucks. The gameplay is repetitive and the difficulty kind of plateaus quickly. The character design is, again awful (but worse). If your going to have a character who slides down mossy vines, he should at least be aerodynamic, like Sonic, not an overstuffed Tin-Man.
What's with the voice acting? It sounds like a tiny man talking from inside a sink. It's like you don't want to be heard at all.

[Anaksha: Female Assassin]

I wanted to like it and almost did

The feminist thing bugged me. I read the FAQ before I played, and I totally understood how it happened. Flash is a slow tool to work with, I know (but then, I'm a perfectionist [stuff I've submitted to this point barely counts]).

Then I played the game. I really like Frank Miller, even if I think his art could use just a tiny bit of improvement. I also like the noire theme. However, I don't like it when the melodrama gets really heavy, and it did in this game. I thought it was kind of silly. The art was really good, but the dialog was (again) very silly. Even though I read the fact, the man-on-woman-abuse thing really got on my nerves to the point that I just tried to skip the cutscenes all together.

The gameplay was really repetetive. I'll admit that I think nothing beats a point-and-click game, but all biases aside, there was almost no variety in this one.

HOWEVER. You occasionally required the player to use strategy and interact with the environment, and I thought that was really something in a sniper game.

[Inquisitive Dave]

This game is...not good.

The jokes are horrible and the last boss wouldn't shut up. You don't use many of the words you use correctly. It just sounds dumb. Everything in the room has some time-wasting description.

[Tails: Cosmic Rush]

Okay, I'm done wasting my life.

I like the music. The graphics are amazing. The game ran smoothly on my computer to a fault--your fault. On the side-scrolling section, I hit a laser and fell to my death. The platforms were really short at this point, so every time the game restarted at the check point, Tails rocketed through 6 rings and missed the platform above him...Over and over and over again. I could count on the game to somehow set him back or ahead a little at least once (twice at the most). I never made it past the region with this checkpoint.

Otherwise, fantastic job.

[Totem Destroyer]

good

'nuff said

[-The Journey-]

Liked it

The logic was...illogical, but I like these kinds of games. I really enjoyed the first one. Take the humor up a notch next time!

[Swinging Ball (G5G)]

great

It was tough, but fun

[Dirk Dagger]

funny

It was good. I couldn't load it from Newgrounds, so I had to go somewhere else. I'd like to play the rest, but I'm not playing for a click game that doesn't even have sound.

[Little Bus Ride Of Horror]

That was...

Awful. The humor was awful, the drawing was awful, etc. Also, "What the fuck" is an overused and increasingly annoying phrase.

Gerkinman responds:

Sorry you feel that way.
