Xyresic's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Skincraft]

Awesome

Not really much else to say. Better than most other skin makers out there for Minecraft.

[Portal Defenders]

Difficult? Impossible.

Catering for gamers who never leave the chair they sit in while honing their ultimate gaming skill is fine, if that's the target audience that you're trying to reach. Most games try to aim for the lowest common denominator, allowing for gameplay that people of any skill level can enjoy, but I guess it's nice to see a game that says "Fuck that" to the usual norms and has been designed for the sole purpose of sending the average gamer into a homicidal rampage. By some magnificent stroke of luck I did indeed manage to (finally) get myself to the final boss, only to be no-lube ass fucked by the Wadolf laser that takes out half the screen and half your health in one hit. The game itself is pretty good. Appealing graphics, great music and decent enough gamplay but for the ungodly difficulty. Sure, people love hard games, but there is something to be said for the regular gamers that make up 90% percent of the gamer population. Maybe a with a bit of tweaking the game could have been mildly enjoyable, perhaps a difficulty slider in an options menu that takes the edge off of some of the attacks? But who am I to give suggestions, I'm still resisting the urge to set fire to my own house after dying for the umpteenth time trying to get some satisfaction out of this wretched game.

[Spike - A Love Story]

No skill involved.

The only thing detracting from this otherwise great game is the fact that most of the time whether you crush the guy or not is based on luck, not skill. Eventually it just just comes down to trying to remember what the guy does at every stage and striking accordingly. This is the worst possible way to play through a game like this, having to redo each stage over and over just to try and remember the peak time to strike because it is impossible to complete the game any other way.

[Everything Start to Fall]

Very good...

But there is still room for improvement. It's a very interesting twist on classic platformer games...
The game probably doesn't need to go on for any longer, but there should be many more choices and more variation. Perhaps the the platforms could go beyond the confines of the screen edges as more and more choices are made. It's a great game, but it feels like it could use a lot more.

[Particle Wars Extreme]

Whooooooa.....

So.... many... PARTICLES....

This game is epic. Very few other words would describe it properly.

Music: 10/10. Just my style...
Gameplay: 10/10. Old concept, infused with some interesting new twists and game elements.
Effects: Holy Shit/10. Insanely crazy eye-candy going on here, it's like putting your mind into a microwave oven...

All I can think of to improve this would be a fullscreen downloadable version... hell I would PAY to play this fullscreen...

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

[K.O.L.M.I.A.M.]

Unresponsive controls.

I was excited to play this, having enjoyed the original a lot. But even after the first few levels, the unresponsivness on the controls was shocking. Half the time pressing a certain button more than once in quick succession did nothing, such as trying to jump up a staricase and having the little guy just stand there doing nothing until about 5 key presses. This is the exact opposite of what you want in a game with a time limit, and I found myself losing by a few seconds because the character wasn't jumping as fast as I was pushing spacebar. 10/10, but -4 stars because of the dodgy controls.

What setting did you have the CPU stuff on in the menu? PM me.

[Space is Key]

Great game!

Great game, challenging, relatively new concept.
That said, I deducted 5 stars for the last part of level 10...

No.

Just no.

[infect. evolve. repeat. 2]

Awesome!

Great update to an old classic, this is definitely one that I enjoyed a lot.

Protip: Play the original. It makes this one a lot easier and helps get you used to creating winning strategies.

[The Sagittarian 2]

Awesome!

Great game, lots of options and not too short, b ut not so long that it gets tedious. Took about 30 minutes to get all the medals, but I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Great story, cool art, funny music... everything to look for in an awesome game!

[My Little Pony Sprites V5]

No point.

There's nothing to do, no point, no objective. That and you've uploaded it to completely wrong target audience. Try adding in some more stuff, cause, frankly, a My Little Pony sandbox game will probably not be too popular.

sorry you dont see the point in a sprite test all i wanted was to get feedback on what could be improved. :)
