Xyresic's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spectrum TD]

Eh.

Well, here's my gameplay experience. I read through the tips, set up a few towers, beat the first 10 or so rounds with slightly less effort then that required to breathe, before getting completely overwhelmed by the first boss, who managed to slip completely through my "Avenue of Abismal Firepower", almost completely resistant to every kind of weapon. It was at this stage where I realised that this is just a cut and paste, dyed in the wool Elemental Tower Defense game, with pretty much the same features as every other TD game before it. You get 2 stars for the art, which is pretty much the only original part of this game.

3D-xelu responds:

=( ... well at least thanks for the 2 stars :P

[PixEvo - The Fountain]

so close!

it's a great game, but i think just a tiny bit more polish would have made it fantastic! for one thing, making flaying compulsory after a jump may have made it more difficult, but also more frustrating to jump nimbly from platform to platform, having to muddily manouevere my little guy down onto the next one. also, perhaps include subtle hints about where the last pixel is if a player hasn't found one over 3 minutes or something, because while finding pixels may be the core challenege, it is also seomtimes very difficult to discern whehther a certain pixel is the LAST ONE before the next upgrade, or if you're wasting your time. like i said, it's an awesome game, but just a few more subtleties would have completed it.

Evil-Dog responds:

yeah hints and more pixels than needed could have been nice, I'll keep that in mind for the next

[AN Escape Series #5]

nice

a great game to add to the series. i noticedd in the corner it said copyright shawn tanner 2009. you've been working on it for that long? :P

Afro-Ninja responds:

started in late 2009, finished recently :p

[Color Catcher!]

not bad

but like your other game, it's too easy. the spiky enemy things were really easy to avoid, even with the slppery controls. however, i would like to see a v2 of this, with powerups and more enemies. one thing i've noticed with your submissions is that you tend to keep the stage the same size, but cut half of it off to put scores there or something similar. you should experiment with different sizes, otherwise the playing area get's too cramped.

potatopower responds:

I will next time :O

[Ghost Motel 11]

heh

not bad. i remember playing this series years ago.... brings back old memories

Violet-AIM responds:

Thank you Crapflash.

[Gravitas]

It's not bad...

But I think it's just too similar to Ball Revamped and such. Nice graphics though.

Chaz responds:

thanks :)

[Cannon Defense]

For one thing...

Add a preloader. It makes it so much easier to sit down and wait for a game to load if you know how much longer it's going to take. Otherwise it is a great game, with the silhouetted graphics and the ragdoll-ish soldiers. The music suited well and the upgrades didn't disappoint. Don't stop churning out the games!

Maxwelldoggums responds:

I tried to add a preloader... but there's a problem and it shows up AFTER it's done loading... I don't know why. Thank you for the review.

[Touch The Bubbles 2]

This game is so much fun!

Congrats! You have made an awesome flash game! You really need a good ear for sound/music, otherwise the game just doesn't quite make it. But the idea with the bubbles.... everything is fantastic! wow.... just keep making games, ok?

GameBalance responds:

Well I made new one :)

[Parasite X]

Well made.

It was a well made games, smooth graphics, nice sounds, good gameplay, however it got boring very quickly. I lasted about 7 levels before i got bored. I also think that killing the blood cells shouldn't earn you points. you should only get points for eating them. But that's just my opinion.

unbelivable responds:

Thanks. Thats a good suggestion but then it would be even harder to upgrade :O
