NekoMika's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Droid Grids Beta 0.19.1]

Improved

I would say this is a pretty good improvement since your older version actually. I do still have a problem here that is somewhat different from the previous. The blue guys still gang up on me if I become unlucky enough but this time they can start shooting at me before I can even see them now. What happened in the coding?

The bullet sounds are still good anyway and the hit box for when you die is still good as to go too. The graphics are still a bit dull though. Should try a bit of the boxhead method when the opponent dies, they stay there in a small blood pile for a bit before fading away.

Aside from that stuff, this game has some good potential. Just keep updating and removing the parts people still have issues with and this could go quite well.

Thanks for taking the time to follow the game, as it's being developed.

EDIT: I've fix the enemies shooting at you, before you see them by adding the delay timer back in (amongst other things)

The ganging only really occasionally happens near the borders/if the player spawns next to a large group of enemies; for the most part only a certain number of enemies can stalk a target around the map for at a time.
I was thinking of adding in decoy beacons to ensure idle enemies don't group together...

I like the idea of a splash of blood, surrounding your character as he dies, but I need proper isometric graphics to go by first.

Updates will be a bit slower with the main semester of Uni Starting back up.
However with so many people taking an interest in this project's development,
I'm going to prioritize giving it the best I can.
:)
EDIT: To prove my loyalty I just posted another update in response to all the recent feedback:

BETA 0.18.7:
[*]Reduced Lag
[*]Fixed fire delay with enemies at the border
[*]Reloading Sound.
[*]Fixed glitch with rocket launcher sound.
[*]Bigger and fancier radar
[*]Game automatically pauses when not in focus.
[*]& more

[The Greatest Orb 3]

Great game

The background graphics were actually quite nice and crazy looking. I actually beat the game and only encountered one problem. That problem was I had to close the game out after beating it to start again, aside from that I really didn't encounter any problems from this game.

I would have expanded and added a few more levels though and make them a little more difficult as it goes along so the player keeps having to improve to pass each level by getting a bit better hand coordination after finishing each level.

I would say this is a pretty fun game to play over and over again albeit you have to exit then reenter the game if you manage to beat this fun little maze styled game. Also liked how the lines seem to have a glow effect to them.

Really enjoyed the song as well, kind of keeps you calmed and relaxed while you play through this game. No matter how frustrating a level is, patience and accuracy remains to be the key of each level.

Enjoyed and loved how you disabled right clicking cheating which is a mistake most authors make and then it takes the fun out of the game because then the player can simply right click and skip every level in a quiz/maze/whatever other kind of game.

I have to say though, this turned out to be an excellent game to play.

Overall, a terrific maze game but I would suggest adding a couple more levels and increasing the difficulty every couple of levels. Aside from that, excellent game.

thanks :)

[Raise to Review Mod]

Pretty good

Although it doesn't show every kind of abusive review, you still get the idea of how to flag. Glad to have earned the might beity whistle ages ago. You give the player an idea of what to look for in abusive review and when to leave them alone as well. This is actually a good creative game that gets users to think before they leap to a conclusion on how to vote on a review or flash.

The graphics were pretty nice and I like how it says /yes/no/abusive as it did before the amazing 2007 site update. I still like this site update as it is. The songs you chose were also awesome. Great piece of work Little-Rena.

Little-Rena responds:

Thanks, this was done after the redesign though but I don't remember when the things changed, I'm forgetful.

Thanks for the review though and I'll try and get more in my ...mod series done, someone reminded me but I lack timeeee

[NG UserDetection Tutorial]

Good tutorial

This would be good to keep in mind for other authors who strictly want their work only to be viewed on Newgrounds. However some morons can't understand that so they open up the flash and remove those bits of code as you can play Newgrounds games on many other non-NG affiliated sites sadly.

Really cool how you can block non-Newground members from viewing meaning a not so smart person could upload it to their site but players would have to strictly to the NG page it is on to play in. Then it can be layered to force them to be a member and log in before they are allowed to play.

Excellent tutorial that is sure to be useful to someone out there.

VioletVulpine responds:

Thanks.

[Mr. Rogers Soundboard]

Hilarious

Well it was just a black screen with sounds that he said on the show. I can't believe I can still remember watching him as a little kid and just laughing and feeling weird while watching him. Sad that he died after awhile as well.

Like this because there is a large inventory of phrases you could use in a prank phone call for various reason. Great piece and wouldn't mind seeing this soundboard used in a prank phone call to a restaurant or something of that sort.

Overall, nice work and reminder of Mr. Rogers.

[Pina Pony]

Simple yet fun

I like how the game is pretty much endless and never ends and you are given a few different ways to play as well. The voice acting for the pony was actually not that bad. I could see this being a game that young girls might enjoy playing though in some free time.

Their is not much in way of a challenge aside from being warned of spikes and not being able to see the full screen while jumping around meaning you need more patience and knowing when to jump for an item or candy.

The graphics are cute in a way I guess but I would be kind of freaked out if I saw a pinata pony running around in the yard or something like that.

Overall though, this turned out to be a well and fun game anyways.

whileworking responds:

Thanks, glad you liked it :)

[Cirno Xi]

Really fun

This was a fun game that seemed similar to "Bullet Hell" as they constantly fired bullets at you in random directions. I found the easiest way to beat them was stay near the bottom and go back and forth while holding down the firing button. It allowed you to die slower and you got more of those circle things firing their rainbow bullets at you.

The way the health went down was a lot better than the way it happened in Galaga which only allowed one shot to one health. Where as in this game for each hit you take the ship shoots a tad bit slower and pieces come off with each hit. The way the score went up was nice as well.

The blue haired person reminded me of James from Team Rocket in the Pokemon series that comes on tv. The gameplay never really picks up on bothering to challenge the player to a tougher challenge either.

The choice in music was mostly fitting as well. The preloader looked pretty cool with the layered "GO" button. Also enjoyed the menu screen background. Although one question still bugs me is what are those things on the back of Cirno's back? Support for life or something?

Overall though, I would say this game tended to be fun. Albeit it was rather short it's almost like playing a very short and easy demo version of the TOUHOU games. Nice work on this piece.

[Epic Combo!]

Great game

The concept of the game is so simple that you could easily get the ten thousand hit combo in a matter of just a few minutes. The graphics were similar to that of your elephant games as well. Also why turtles? It could have been any animal. Not whining but just simply asking why it was turtles is all.

The music is pretty nice and I enjoyed the sound effects. Also sad how after you have so much money that you can only max out to so much rather than being able to make it be possibly to have an infinite combo by covering all the floors, walls, ceilings, and empty space with the cool stuff.

However overall, this is a great game, excellent work here.

[Flirting Princess]

Poorly done

I found this to be a really poor game, sorry. Seriously, a girl doesn't need to be set to one clique or cliche to get friends and what she wants. Would have been nice if the interactions with the non-normal people was a bit more friendly instead of going "Ewww, get away from them" because that seems to be a bit sexist and dumb at the same time.

I would say if you wanted better improvement with the target audience then change the music and how the girl reacts to people rather than just trying to stereotype them as being popular in one group as done in the movies.

Good luck improving this game and making others in the future.

[Treadmillasaurus Rex]

Great fun

I have to admit I had a lot of fun as the treadmill sped up and kept getting harder.

Excellent song choice, and I like how the top hat kept getting bigger as well.

Very cool game.
