"Dante had it easy"

submission: A Crow in Hell

date: October 26, 2008

I haven't made it through to the end yet, but so far the game has been frustrating, repetitive, and as creepy as hell - literally. And yet, it's fantastic. The atmosphere with the music and silhouette art is great, and the level designs, while fiendishly difficult, are really well-constructed in a way to work with the whole theme of the game.

There are a huge number of levels, and I would really like to have some indicator of progress through them (so I can finally feel like I'm getting near the end), and I'd rather have the ability to restart a single level when I die instead of going back to the checkpoint (maybe restart the level when you lose a wing, back to the checkpoint when you lose all five would be less annoying), but otherwise it's a really good game.

Score: 10

"Just plain amazing"

submission: Legend of Miyamoto

date: October 23, 2008

Wow. That had everything. The sprite art was well animated, the line art was beautifully done. The music fit the story, and the story was told perfectly. Even something complicated - getting the individual characters to come through, and match what we know of them - was done exactly how it needed to be. I really want to tell you how to improve this, but I can't find a single damn thing I'd do to it.

Score: 7

"Good things in small packages"

submission: Snake Revival

date: September 29, 2008

For such a tiny game, it's surprisingly good - the animation is smooth, the gameplay is just fine, and survival mode is a neat twist. I suppose it could have used a few sound effects or something, but for what it is it's not bad.

Score: 6

"Pretty funny"

submission: Super Hot Hentie

date: September 6, 2008

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Newgrounds needs more Yakety Sax. Good stuff.

Score: 7

"Mostly good"

submission: Wacky Pod Races

date: September 6, 2008

The animation was mostly good, but sometimes dragged out too much.

The voice acting was mostly good, but the announcer needed to sound more excited.

The script was mostly good, but needed a little tweaking (things like two "looks like"s in a row need to be removed).

The sound effects and music ... actually they were very good.

Overall, you did a pretty good job capturing the character of both the original Wacky Races and the Star Wars films.

Score: 6

"Flawed but watchable"

submission: Don't Leave

date: September 5, 2008

Starting with the bad, or at least not particularly good:

* Mouth animation needs some work
* General movement animation also not great
* You need someone to proofread your script - someone who will both fix grammatical errors (there's a difference between "your" and "you're"), and tell you when the dialogue doesn't work, because a few of the sentences in there needed some tidying up

Now, the good:

* Nice art style
* Good choice of music
* Voice actors did well
* Story was not mind-blowingly amazing, but was good enough to keep me watching

Score: 10

"So incredibly cute"

submission: There she is!!!

date: September 4, 2008

I just watched all 4 of "There she is" so far, and I loved them all. But after watching step4, I needed something to cheer me up - so I came right back to where it all started.

Here is a list of all the things I didn't like about this:
* Nothing.

Score: 8

"Pretty good game"

submission: Escape the Den

date: August 21, 2008

I don't think any of the objects was really impossible to find, although I didn't find the hairdryer until I read your hints. It would have been better with just a little plot/explanation, but there was nothing horribly wrong with it. Art style was good.

Score: 8

"Great, minor flaws"

submission: Word Search 50

date: August 17, 2008

The art style was really good, and the interface really well designed. However, the dessert puzzle had both icecream and cream and while I didn't test if the cream part of icecream would have worked, it's not a good idea to have both in the same puzzle. More glaringly, the Southern Hemisphere puzzle had Bolivia in the list twice, and I had to select the word twice to get both of them.

Score: 6

"Not the best ever"

submission: : Gummi-Bear Graveyard :

date: August 14, 2008

I don't know if it was the premise, or just the execution, but the humour was pretty flat in this one. Foamy's song over the end credits was pretty funny though.
