NekoMika's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pilo]

Sadly bland

Not trying to be truly harsh and that such but this sadly seemed to be pretty lacking and beating the game took me a bit more than ten minutes as well.

I think that some people could possibly enjoy the game more if the smiley wasn't always falling all the time and rather stayed in one place until you were moving it. That was probably the biggest problem I had here was trying to keep it from touching the walls in the early levels to finish the game because if I wasn't doing anything then it was falling and touching the walls and since there is never any kind of checkpoint I always ended up having to start all the way from the start once again which can be a pain sometimes since level 6 took me a couple of minutes to finish sadly.

The song of choice was alright but I think you could have chose something else as in something that loops perfectly so we never hear a couple seconds of no music as well. The song is nice though, just not entirely fitting here unless you decided to clip off a few seconds yourself anyways.

The animation was pretty bland as well sadly. Just a kind of poorly done awesome face, although the one at the start menu was funny since you could make it look cross eyed anyways. Some of the backgrounds were pretty boring too I think such as the rainbow backgrounds for the maze levels, I think you could have used some variation there.

For the maze levels I think adding pieces of walls could have made them better as players can readjust their fingers so they can take a break for a second then readjust their fingers and continue off from the wall resting point. That would have been incredibly helpful.

The game play is OK but as I stated earlier, not having the face in free fall all the time would be incredibly helpful to some players.

Overall, the game is lacking in originality but then again it beats some of the games that come into the portal anyways. Not too bad for a game that might annoy a couple of people with the gravity physics. I guess that could be weakened a bit is all to make it less challenging to some players.

Very helpful review, thanks again :P

[Inspect and Shoot]

Not too bad

Well this was not too bad and I remember when this started out in that one thread you were throwing knifes at the people instead and now it has changed up to a gun and just shooting at random people as well. The game as not entirely bad but I think you could have changed it a bit by doing a few things.

The game play here was nice and simple and would make a good stress reliever I think. The bullet sounds are very nice here.

The graphics were pretty simple as you had a background then added some random people and sounds to it which was not too awful bad I think.

The sound effects were very nicely done here but I think a couple of them could be changed. The first one I noticed is that both Conan O' Brien and Jay Leno had the same exact sound effect voices when getting shot for some reason. As for Big Bird, I would try to find a sound of him screaming instead.

Overall, not very bad but some of the sounds could have been changed to make it funnier.

[Madness Lunacy]

Good cover

Well I like how you converted a flash story into a playable game. Don't get me wrong the game was great however the extra partner simply being there felt like a dick move a lot!! Mostly because they did nothing at all unless you switched over to them making the game in itself just a bit harder. Why have an extra character there helping if they can't do anything without you switching to control them? Seems pointless.

The graphics were simply Madness and nothing short of what the flash was.

The game play was good but there were several places that annoyed me to honestly no end. For instance early in the game if you screw up once then you get pinned into the corner and can't get up or do anything since once you do you get hit again meaning you have to redo that room all over again to no annoying end.

The final battle was not too bad since if you started with a grenade launcher and ended it with a Dragon's Breath then the battle would be over quickly but some parts of the game were annoying however as once you were down and cornered it was petty much game over since as I pointed out earlier the ally does absolutely nothing unless you switch to them.

Overall, great flash to game convert but the ally system seems pointless. At least have them doing something aside from following you only when not playing as them at least.

Thank for the great review, I know the ally system is bad, I couldn't figure out how to program him to shoot at enemies.

[Random Fact Generator]

Neat

Well I found this to be an interesting little gadget anyways. Pretty fun to waste a few minutes on anyways if you have nothing better to do anyways. Would be nice if you added new facts to it every now and then though to make it more interesting over time I guess.

The background was simplistic and the snake game was quite fun here I think. I only noticed one minor glitch which was after awhile the sound thing in the upper right corner pooped up and never faded away again unless you hovered the mouse over it for a quick moment. Aside from that, not too bad at all.

The music chosen was nice and gets you relaxed as you learn facts you may have never known. I thought oysters could only swap genders once though, had no idea they could change back though. Few of the other things were cool and the Tom Fulp joke fact was also nice.

The medals implemented here were pretty cool albeit they sadly are all worth no points at all. I guess a medal for doing something in the snake game would be cool too. Also had no idea the playstation was original just an add on for the Nintendo 64, I thought they both roughly came out around the same exact time. Cool to know though.

Overall, fun little gadget. Would be nice if the medals were worth points though.

[Trapped Ball]

Good game

Reminds me of other maze and avoiding game too. Not too bad anyways, choice in music was also good I think. Could have some potential anyways. Would be cool if it allowed players to create their own levels as well for others to play. Very nicely done game, had fun playing it, the potion, speed, and defense power-ups were nice concepts.

[Moonlight Difference]

Great game

Had a fun time playing this and Hard difficulty was great I think. You would have to be real picky with details to find all the new differences there. Great game and wonderful story. Reminds me of the Emma Halloween game you did as well, wonderfully detailed drawings as always.

[Rainbowman]

Good yet difficulty spike

Ever heard of a difficulty spike? A game where everything is fine and dandy and then suddenly makes a jump and becomes harder than it should. Not all the levels are beatable, seriously. I gave up after trying to beat "Remember Me" for five minutes because guess what? Difficulty spike, oh and also the second platform is one pixel out of reach. Sometimes I would hit the side of it but it was impossible to jump on to it even when I was as far over as possible on the first platform. Should look into fixing that level.

The game play is simple and addictive and gets you into wanting to beat every level as well which is grand and all but one should also play test every level they make so they know there is no errors in them that could cause a player to be unable to finish the game. Some of the levels feel like they were left untested though.

The music is pretty nice here although I would suggest choosing something that loops a lot better rather than one that ends and has to restart all over again like the one you chose for this little game.

Overall, it is a good game but seriously, "Remember Me" needs to be fixed or at least have the second floating platform moved one pixel towards you.

Thanks for the informative review. This is, like I said, my first solo game. Remember Me is beatable, just check the scoreboards for proof of that. Also, the loopability of Jumper isn't really up to me. It fit the game the best, and thats why I chose it.
