Bomber109's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stamper's Quest For Fags]

Good.

Gameplay aside, the graphics and overall presentation is very well done.

However, the gameplay needs work. Eventually, it becomes annoying (Stamper's ooh-ing and etc) and gets boring. Endless running in the desert is not endlessly fun.

Also, I had no idea that the cactus were bad until I listened to the ooh-ing. That should be explained.

(LOL at bonus level)

[Use Boxmen]

Too Difficult.

Overall, the presentation and general theme was very suiting and pleasant. Graphics were very good and programming was flawless.

However, the gameplay was... difficult. "Experiment with different boxmen" was a very vague statement, and thus confused me to a point where I was simply not enjoying the game. The puzzles themselves were also too confusing and had little enjoyment value.

I also disliked how too much of the game was based on speed. Some challenges were quite obvious to execute, but just required too much speed to be enjoyable. Puzzle games should be much slower and should focus on the mind, not the body.

In other words, simply make the challenges less difficult. I would also add to make the game longer.

(BTW, the walkthrough was very useful, but an in-game adaptation would be much better.)

[Dino Run]

Good game, but it could be better.

First of all, graphics were awesome, and programming, overall, was great. It entertained me for several hours.

However, it could be a lot better if you refined the gameplay. In order to be a successful player you need to spend a lot of time playing. Why? To get upgrades. Anybody could get full upgrades and pass everything really quickly. In contrast, most people will have lots of difficulty passing anything without upgrades. So, you ought to change that.

Also, there needs to be more instructions. Super eggs are confusing and unknown until the player actually collects them, and the same applies to milestones. It would be nice if the milestones were known as to make it easier to achieve them.

On occasion, I also encountered some glitches. Sometimes, a triceratops or stegosaurus can trap you in a crevice with no chance of escape. Also, red pterodactyls can be quite annoying and erroneous. Those need to be fixed.

Also, just for fun, you should make it possible to choose which color runner you want.

[Robot Dinosaurs]

Awesome.

That was great. Multiple characters, absolutely no glitches, and a funny storyline and mood made this game enjoyable.

However, this game is a little bit on the short side. Not horrendously short, but it would surely benefit from at least another level or two.

[Advanced Buttons Tutorial]

Meh...

Fine for what it is.

Please lengthen it and improve your graphics (they look fine but could look better).

Also, some may consider the actionscript to be explained confusingly.

[Tri-shooter]

That was disorienting.

While fun, piloting the ship soon became odd. Although the vehicle moved like a car, it operated more so like the movement you'd expect in a 2D RPG game like Pokemon.

I recommend you use trigonometry to change your control system to a less confusing one.

But besides that, the game worked pretty well, and looked good.

[-::Rolling On::-]

Sweet.

All of those effects are pretty cool

And there were at lot of them, too.

Anyway, you don't get a ten because playing with particle effects gets boring after a while.

[/\ OutSide The Box /\]

I'm going to overlook the stolen concept

Anyway, this is great, but I recommend you polish the graphics. It was somewhat hard to tell if you were losing health, too.

yea, im still new to flash and im not to shure how to mak animations, ill work on it using variables, thanx for the crit :) Also, what would you like me to do to the graphics?

[Gravity Pong (Game)]

Fine, but still has glitches.

First of all, you're not supposed to use source codes unless you made them.

Secondly, there still are a few glitches. I got it stuck on the side, with absolutely no ability to move. Also, the right boundary is a little misleading.

Anyway, it would be nice if you had "pimped out" the graphics a little bit, but otherwise, I'd say this is fine.

SorrowFoxHound responds:

The guy that made the original source code even said himself that we could call it our own if we edit the script to diffrent values and such. =/

But I have to agree it is quite buggy! =D
