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!

[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!

[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.

MrRandomist responds:

Thanks glad you liked it!

[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.

Tzai responds:

Thanks SCTE3! Glad that you enjoyed the lite version!

[The Abusive Review Quiz]

Snazzy

Also that "Resend Medals" button is a nice touch just in case one might not get medals to appear on page when they should. The only think you could have possibly done is something another user had done earlier and try to make a few different kind of sample reviews along with adding in a random coding that changes between reviews to a new random one rather than the same ones.

The background was a nicely done yet simplistic thing and the medals don't appear to be hard to get .I guess it could be a good starter piece for someone who is not used to flagging reviews or submissions. I think you did a nice job on this one for your first actual game piece.

Overall, good effort, nice medals.

Hacsev responds:

I also thought of doing that, but I couldn't find a code for it. Something like "Name that Pokemon" flash, right?

Yes, it is a really easy quiz for starters. There is still a secret medal which no one but me has obtained. I won't reveal much, but if you PM me I'll give you 2 hints. Thank you for your review, SCTE3!

[Pico's Musical experience]

Nice game

This turned out nice anyways and the choice in music was also good to see. Some of them I had not heard before but they were good. The songs got harder as you progressed up at the NG office. Had to stick around at door to move up to next difficulty which was good anyways.

The graphics were pixelated which was cool to me anyways. Simple rhythm game play made it easy to get used to as well so that was nice to see. The songs used were pleasing. Also nice to see a gallery here. Funny how the background and the characters kind of felt like simple game gifs too.

Overall, fun game.

thanks for your good review!

[Genius Quiz]

Interesting

Well this was interesting anyways. What inspired you to make this quick piece anyways? Nice to see that sometimes the face doesn't match up with what kind of person they are. Some of the charming people turned out to be deranged while some deranged looking people turned out to be bright helpful people.

Guess you are trying to let people know that sometimes looks can be very deceiving and that the person can be totally different from what you think. Good lesson taught. Background and buttons looks pretty cool too. Liked how the end results tended to be. I tended to get around 80%, not bad anyways.

Overall, good little game.

poxpower responds:

I read the phrase " you could see the glimmer of intelligence in his eyes" when someone was talking about Chris Langan. And I thought it was retarded so there you go, I made this.

I'll make more of these, it's funny. Like for instance: can you tell a modern art sculpture apart from a piece of random garbage in a landfill?

That would be hilarious. Only wish I could track the results.

[Picos Quest]

Great game

Glad to see this one turned out well too. The graphics make it feel like it as an old school game but texting adds another feel to it since you have to type what you want Pico to do. Kind of funny how Burnt Face Man was added but didn't really do anything aside from giving a penicorn for simply guessing his name.

The music used was very nice sounding and made you feel like you were at an arcade as well so nice work there too. This game turned out great as well, glad to see it has medals and everything put into it as well. Nicely done.

Overall, very fun Pico Day game.

Magical-Zorse responds:

The penicorn serves a role in the game

[Headbanging Hero]

Great Game

This was great but I won't say anything truly negative mostly because my laptop has very small and scrunched together arrow keys. Oh well, my problem then. The game was fun though to play in its current form.

The graphics were fairly well done. The headbanger looked pretty cool as well. The backgrounds were red and very nicely worked while the text, arrow keys, and menu moving button thingy all looked pretty nice.

The game play was awesome although I prefer to headbang with my hair to this instead. :P I have to say though you did a great game collaboration here.

Overall, cool game.

[Pyroscape 3]

Entertaining

This was a pretty fun game anyways. Kind of wish it was longer but maybe there will be a part for to this in the distant future after you get married dude. This was a fun mixed game with graphics and real life in it. Haven't seen one of these since that last one where the dude had aliens invade his house.

The game play was rather simple and mixed yet entertaining as well. The game itself was rather promising, got a good laugh at the start where you two poured water on yourself then ran from the building as tons of water was thrown at you for no reason while avoiding fires. Didn't understand the ending though. I can't seem to jump the missile though, oh well.

Overall, great game.

MonoFlauta responds:

Yes, maybe a bit weak the end, you just have to avoid that jumping, but it ends when it finally hit one to you, anyway, Awesome review and a lot of thanks!
