NekoMika's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Normandy Survival]

Needs a lot of work

I find it sad that while it does have a basic premise of "survive and kill this many to beat game" it lacks a whole lot to this game in a lot of ways.

First is if you have a Newgrounds preloader there really shouldn't be some ad that plays for some reason. The game takes a very short time to load anyways. Then the buttons on the menu could possibly use work such as being smaller and a little less sloppy looking. Could possibly just have the text be the buttons actually, not too awful hard to do in flash even though coding takes awhile.

The lack of music is very bad or any sound at all for that matter. Could add some war music that plays while you are trying to survive against the 750 soldiers you need to kill in this games. Then while playing I think the sound of walking and gun shots would also be a nice addition to this game and make it slightly more entertaining to the audience.

The gameplay seems pretty simple since you can just hold either left or right and both together and just shoot in both directions as well. Although I only managed to survive up to 120 before I died. Adding some health packs that fall from time to time is also another thing to consider here.

Storyline is somewhat original and focuses on World War II which I suppose is interesting in this one.

Overall, just needs to have a lot of work done.

The ads are to help support me so I can afford the full version of Adobe Flash CS5.5 and make much higher-quality games (development time on this game was restricted by a 30-day free trial). Although even with them, plus revenue from both MochiMedia, and kongregate.com, I've still barely made any more than about $2.25 or so. When I can, I'm thinking about making a "Remastered Edition" with all graphics and gameplay elements updated-with sound, and an intro video, too!

[Story of the Blanks]

Great game

On;y bad part is the way back took forever for me at least. The game is still pretty cool though. Like you turned the creepypasta into a retro NES style game for people to play which is pretty cool anyways.

The graphics are retro, need I say more?

The story was good as well. Apple Bloom followed Ruby the ghost pony into a forest and nearly dies getting out. Well at least I did since the first two ghosts are always easy and then the third one took me a very long time to get past since it moves a lot faster than the others do, not sure if it is a glitch or if you meant it to be that way. The rest of the way was smooth and easy sailing to exit the forest area.

Music was really nice and I enjoyed the tunes that were fitting of the game too. One last thing I have to wonder is what was the crank for? Was it for getting that bucket up later or not since it never states if you were using it. Funny how the one ghost helps you escape since it wished she had protected her instead.

Overall, great creepypasta pony game, really enjoyed playing it.

[Cute Critter Carnage]

Fun yet hard

The medals are worth playing for as well. The game itself was quite fun to play and I did enjoy it for the most part. The graphics were very nice.

The only weird part of the game for me is that it felt like the gravity was off as if the animals were being tossed up to the spikes rather than falling onto them. Weird isn't it?

The graphics were pretty great here as well. Like the background area showing leaves and woods and nuts for the most part. The side was cool where it just felt like the animals were looking at you too. The blood splattering against the text on the title screen was cool as well.

The game play was fun yet hard for the most part. Mostly because of how fast the squirrels were moving to the spikes. That and shooting at them sometimes will miss even if you hit them, not bad though, adds more to the challenge as you say.

The audio used was also quite nice and fitting as well here. It kind of made you feel a bit rushed to shoot at them as well which makes it all the more fun to the player.

The game itself is fun and challenging in many ways.

Overall, great game for game jam 5, really enjoyed it.

Thank you!

[Mr Agnry Faic 4]

Fun game

I found this game to be pretty straightforward and fun actually. The game could possibly make you angry as well if you don't change colors quick enough to collect all of them in the later levels.

The game play was very simple which was try to build a high combo by collecting all the same colors and repeating until you had got them all and leveled up. Sweet voice acting.

Enjoyed how you could unlock some great stuff as well.

the music I found to be very soothing and calming while the game play tried to make you angry funny enough.

Overall, great game here too.

[Fucking Bugs]

Fun yet hard

Well I found this game to be fun yet very difficult as well for me when I played it. Thought I would have been a lion but nope I'm just a bug trying to survive the game which was cool.

The graphics were pretty sweet and nicely worked out I think. The bugs in the background kind of remind me of MissingNo. from Pokemon as well. Great imagery though.

The gameplay was simple yet hard as I move with arrows, aim with mouse, and shoot by right clicking. Fun.

Music was actually quite fitting for this piece I think, great!!

Overall, good game.

Thanks glad you liked it!

[Insanity Box 2]

Well said

I think the title of the game lives up to itself with most of the games, albeit they aren't going to make you go insane but there are a lot of games on it.

[GTFTN - Lightning]

Helpful

Well I found it be helpful anyways which is good since sometimes a tutorial does not have all the needed content provided for it. I found this a bit bland sadly as the background was just black which helps the lightning blend but maybe a stormy looking background could have worked out better.

The music used was good but why did it not loop correctly? It played once and stopped, I guess that is just one of the two minor errors I saw here. The other being the Next and Previous buttons being on the wrong side, Next should be on right side while previous be on the left side. Fixing that would make it a bit easier too.

The last error here is having a replay and previous buttons on same slide. Why would one need a replay button and previous button on same side? Kind of overkills it I think.

Overall, helpful indeed, just need to fix the minor things is all.

[Darnell: Wrath of God]

Difficult

However it is also a flash game that presents the user with a good challenge as well. Just like Castle Crashing the Beard but with one character and no power ups plus the less health God has the quicker he will dart back and forth and attack in his patterns. Victory was hard but well worth getting too!!

The graphics and animation were really nice. Funny how Pico got snorted up and then Darnell comes in with his AK47 to take him out. The game's tunes were equally as nice to hear since they provide a bit of comic relief and intensity.

Overall, challenging and fun.

[Halo series Quiz extensde]

Really lacking

This is sadly something anyone could do in flash if they had it, moving on then, I see there were quite a few issues with this. First is a lack of background music. I guess you could have added Halo music that is fitting for the quiz such as the main theme or theme of the flood coming to kill everything and such.

Another thing screw is every button is clickable. For the questions themselves don't place them in buttons, simply place them on the same layer as everything else as clicking them does nothing and may confuse a player of the quiz.

Found most of the quiz interesting and cool. Did you know in Halo 2 there was a soccer ball you could find and play with in the city level? Pretty cool.

Lastly is a lack of background, could have simple added a shade or tint of a color that is fitting to theme of the series. Would have made it less bland than white.

Overall, just need to work on some of the things I spoke of and future quizzes should look a bit better anyways. Not a bad job though.

[Shmusicup]

Fun game

Had the most fun using vocaloid songs to shoot at the enemy with. The graphics and gameplay are a little like Bullet Hell but with much less to use unless you go to the site and signup to play the full version and such. Nice little demo piece anyways. Really fun even though there is only two bosses and never any minions.

Thanks SCTE3! Glad that you enjoyed the lite version!
