The Extreme RPG Tutorial

"Sorry, but spoonfeeding isn't tutorial"

date: June 4, 2008

As the guy below said, this doesn't explain the code. The person, after the first few blocks of code, does not "know how to make the guy walk". He was spoonfed, which is to be avoided.

What do you mean about spoonfed

"Logic and skill?"

I don't see where the skill or logistics comes in in some of the later levels. It's too much about luck.

300 Sticks

"Cool"

submission: 300 Sticks
date: April 20, 2008

Was pretty cool, but the ending had this "I don't feel like doing it anymore" vibe to it that could have been avoided.

Still, nice animation.

Broken Wings

"Similar problem - can't load the game"

submission: Broken Wings
date: April 10, 2008

Whatever it is trying to load once at the gamejacket logo does not go through and the game can't advance.

==Hentai Gallery 2==

"Decent compilation, wrong delivery."

date: November 14, 2007

A bit of a mixed review:
Content: Hentai/image-porn, sure. It can be nice to the perverted populace of the internet. I mean, it can visualize the impossible aspects that you'd never find in truth, or be a safer output of a potentially dangerous or taboo kink. The images within were pretty high quality, I'd say this much.
It's still just a bunch of hentai images, though, which one can find nearly anywhere.

Interactivity: The menu could probably look a bit better. Thumbnails, maybe?

Personal note: Maybe I'm just strange, but something an 18 year old isn't supposed to be able to view, by law, he shouldn't be able to post either. Still, it's a bit more open ended, I suppose, the way NG and other sites are set.

On another note, I'm going to assume that by your ages, you are not professional artists, and further, that the images have not been drawn and painted by yourselves. And I'm going to go on even more of a stretch and assume you did not, in fact, get permission from each artist to have their work displayed on a newgrounds compilation.

Essentially, you're posting someone else's work and you're not giving any credit or sources of where the original images come from.

I can't, in good conscience, support a work of plagiarism.

November 14, 2007

Author's Response:

I cannot give credits for images I found on a search engine. What am I supposed to say? "Thank you google and yahoo. Thanks for making search engines!" No... and as I said in the author comments, I already gave all credit I could to Takeshima for for finding some of those. Another thing: If you see all the flashes in the mature section that have pics (take the sex kitten sims) they also have images that where not made by themselves because I saw most of them on the search engines I was using. So, are you going to go to their flashes and start telling them not to plagarise? (spelling)

And on what you said about the 18+ thing... Do you really think that the people of Newgrounds actually obey that thing? Do you think they click on the "No, I will not proceed" button? No...

Thanks for the review anyways.

Mardek Rpg: Chapter 2

"Can't cast spells in the skills window?"

date: November 3, 2007

When I try to cast Heal or Aqualung, I get a "BUZZZ!" sound, and I'm not quite certain why.

Any particular reason? Is it fixable? Or a bug?

Anti-Pacman

"Graphics and music don't make a game.."

submission: Anti-Pacman
date: August 18, 2007

Gameplay does, and this gameplay was hard to agree to.

As people have pointed out, the AI for ghosts you are not currently controlling are completely retarded - they just move at random and there's no command to make them sit still.

Hell, I should be able to not control a single ghost and Pac-man should stil be getting caught so rudimentary HIS AI is (find pellet, avoid ghost by going back and forth).

Evil Nights

"A good game, but repetitive and too easy"

submission: Evil Nights
date: June 27, 2007

The game starts off impressive: Nice pre-rendered graphics, and good applying of them into a flash medium.

However, as soon as you get ice, you can 2-3 shot most demons. The challenge curve loosens very quickly.
Once you have 3 crossbow men, it loosens even quicker. When you have teleport, there's nothing they can do and they can only pop a house until you repair it.
I never got any damage after the second night. I only had to use a will potion once. I never had any use for the bat, and I cannot fathom any use for firewall. The spiders and thingies that are summoned (I saw 3 throughout all nights, all in the first few) die too quickly to 3 fireballs (or a freeze and fire).

Yes, it's good graphics, it looks nice and it plays well, but it's... the.. same.. thing.. over.. and.. over. The demons never change: they're all the flying bats and they all use the same technique, the same strategy, the same movements, the same speed, and maybe even the same attack power. They have no variations except their HP and their looks (and the odd summoning ability that no longer comes into play later on).

There's no boss fight. There's no ground units. There's not even an increase in the number of enemies that appear at any given time as the nights progress on. They all pop 3 or 4 at a time, at most.

Good potential, and it starts well, but it ultimately falls from the ease and repetition of the game.
