Xyresic's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bowls]

.......

Video game.... lawn bowls.

I'm at a loss for words.

[extreme building runner]

Eh.

Like Canabalt, but without the style.

[Gibread]

Unplayable.

The game itself would have earned maybe 8 stars if the hit detection weren't busted. I stopped playing after level 3 because I was constantly geting killed from approximately half a goddamn mile away by silly green beach balls. Fix up your hit detection please.

[Cuboid.]

Stolen.

This is a (slighly) altered re-upload of Bloxorz by DX-Interactive. Obvious rip off is obvious.

[Twilight Memories Game]

Hoo boy

Youjust walked into a minefield. Newgrounds + Twilight = You will die. Probably soon.

Dzin responds:

How about Transformers then? <:)

[Christmas Gifts Match]

ENOUGH

This is like the fourth christmas "match 3" game I've seen. Seriously, we don't need any more.

[Juz Bang Dat Bitch!]

Rip off.

Pretty bad rip off of Whip the Worker.

[Travelling Santa Problem]

Hardly a game.

This is a pretty poor excuse for a game. I'm sure those who are studying operations research and theoretical computer science will breeze through it, however that doesn't make this any good. There is no skill invloved, it's just dumb luck or going through every single option, there is no pattern, so what works well for one level might not work for another. Sometimes the solutions were the last logical thing that I would do.

[The Snow Runs Red]

Aiming system ruined it for me.

The worst part of this game was the aiming system. The fact that you can only aim in straight and diagonal lines was just annoying, and the game would have been more fun if I didn't have to run around lke a headless chicken trying to shoot at the kids who were in an odd spot.

[Poltergifts]

Too hard

I know you people are going to hate this review, but what can you do.
The first few levels were fine, getting the hang of things, not too bad. By the time 1:30 rolled around I was still having fun, beating each level by the skin of my teeth. But then I hit the 2:00 mark, and shit just got fucked up. Monster after monster just kept popping up, and I couldn't beat them back with fist alone. In a panic I quickly opened all the gifts, hoping that there might at least be ONE weapon or trap in there. But for some reason, there was not a trap in sight. I mean COME ON, there were like 9 or 10 gifts there, and every single fucking one had a monster in it. The difficulty curve had become a right angle, and after attempting the same level over and over, only seeming to get 1 or 2 weapons for every 7 monsters and getting miserably beaten every time, I just felt deflated. This review would have been a 10/10 5/5 combo, but after getting curb stomped by those god forsaken robots one time too many I just feel annoyed at how good the game could have been. Maybe I'll consider playing again if you tweak the random spawn factor of the weapons and monsters to a slightly less one sided ratio.

Evil-Dog responds:

we played a lot tweaking the progression and we think it's just fine. A little on the hard side but that's the fun :D
