CaOmDaYn's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hyper Pixel Man]

more pixel platforms is just what this site needs... This one brings nothing new to the table, either. The graphics are obviously not 1-bit lol, the music is annoying and not memorable at all, and the controls are overly sensitive, usually killing me rather then my own fault. there is challenge and then theres frustrating controls. 0/10

Pixelulsar responds:

I know that technically their not 1-bit.

[Wilt: Last Blossom]

Here I thought I was about to play another art game and learn about destroying the environment lol. Boy was I wrong!

Graphics: Beautifully depicts a world that is dyeing out. All the pixel art looked great. 3/3

Sound: The sound effects and music were very retro and fit the entire theme of it very well. well done! 3/3

Gameplay: Fun platforming and the puzzles were clever! The fighting was good as well until you acquire the gun. At that point it lost its survival horror feel and turned into Contra. I really felt like the gun took a lot of the atmosphere away from the game because it became far too easy at that point. 3/4

Overall I would have liked to do without the gun but I absolutely loved every part of the game! Well done sir! Nice secret house btw ;)

SCORE 9/10

Asvegren responds:

Thanks!

[The Underrated Art Collab]

Awesome

It is really nice to see an art collaboration for people who don't get too much recognition. One thing I would have done differently, however, is not placed the full sized art in the flash itself. I believe it would have worked better to have a page of thumbnails when you click on the person's name, and clicking on the thumbnail would open a tab with the page the art is on. That way they could see the pictures in the resolution they were posted in rather than being distorted. It would also have allowed to to put many more pictures in here without having such a large file size. Very nice otherwise!

thanks man

[Pixel Escape]

Nice

challenging and addicting, but more variety could really spice it up a bit more. I see im not the first to realize that you can just hold down the arrow keys for the high score, so I wont get into that. Fun tho if you play by the rules!

Thanks

[Fern - Splapp Eliminator]

Alright

I wont review this the way i usually do, I wont say anything about the graphics or touch on the Slapp issue, but I will offer some advice to you.

During the plane segment, I got really frustrated right away because one hit would kill me (I love the zelda II reference if u die btw ha) until I realized the same four planes fly by with the same path, then it was overly easy. Adding a health bar and more random planes would have made it a challenge but not a frustrating one. Also a scrolling background for the sky would make it look better as well.

I like the mega man style but the bosses were too easy. One doesn't even attack you, and although I understand that there is some humor involved in it it really made it feel like I wasn't doing anything and beating the game still. The emperor at the end I found to be especially easy, since his pattern was so simple. here's an idea, how about the emperor only comes down to attack every so often, which is your chance to damage him. After a short time, tho, he pops back up out of sight and tie fighters begin to fly toward the screen. If they reach you, you take damage, but clicking them as they randomly appear destroys them. then the emperor comes back down again and it repeats until he dies.

I understand the flash was made within a short amount of time, but maybe making less flashes and spending more time on the quality of them will help them be all the better!

VioletVulpine responds:

Thx for the review. Your advise will be useful in a game I'm making

[Button Game 8 (Madness)]

Bad

Graphics: Not as bad as usual, but still very simple and ugly drawings. nothing special here. 1/3

Sound: The music used was good, and i actually enjoyed that part of it! the saza or watever that thing is sound effect got really annoying, tho. Otherwise there was not anything special about the sound effects. 2/3

Execution: The game seriously needs checkpoints. Memorizing 20-30 questions just to not know the next answer to a question that doesn't even really have an answer gets really REALLY annoying. There were definitely mistakes made too. You get lives at one point but lose them during others, i mean wtf! It does not make the game harder it just makes it annoying! If you lose at a part where you lose your mouse cursor it stays hidden when you restart, so you should look into fixing that too. 0/3

Overall this is definitely not you're worst piece of work, you are getting better at drawing and the music was nice. But the game itself is just mindless clicking and annoyances, nothing special about it. 3/10

BanglaBoy96 responds:

Same shitty reviews by CaOmDaYn!
What a surprise

[Flowerman]

Hmm

Graphics: Not very good looking, but definently nothing absolutely terrible. I liked that your stages were each different and had some variety. 1/3

Audio: The different tracks for each level were not bad, but I felt like the lack of any sound effects and loud as hell music really got annoying. 2/3

Execution: The main problem here is the controls, your character slides around and moves way too fast when you hit forward, and on the rotating platform levels it became really hard to control because he wouldn't follow along with them. Your platformer's challenge should come from the actual platforming, not the controls. EVEN SO, this wasn't a button pressing game for once! (except for the bosses which was a little disappointing because it made them really easy after the hard levels). I'm glad you are trying out different kinds of games and honestly you could come out with a good platformer if you really worked on it. AND checkpoints :D! the fact that you actually had checkpoints in the level saved it from being absolutely frustrating. 2/3

Overall it's nothing great with some bad controls, but also really challenging which was nice to see! I'm actually going to give you the extra point just for trying something new for once.

VioletVulpine responds:

Well THANK YOU. Also, Apple man's stage has aa checkpoint

[CaOmDaYn Fist Fight Party]

For me? Really! :o I duno what to say...

Awee you shouldn't have :)

Graphics: Same old basic animation and drawings, but I really expected nothing more really so its not a huge surprise how bad this looks. 0/3

Sound: The music is varied and that was actually a nice thing. The sound of the hitting was a bit over exaggerated, however. 2/3

Execution: The game is about me so It was always fun to beat me up :P But the fact that I did not fight back and there is no different difficulty levels or anything really made this fighter die out in appeal fast. 1/3

Overall its pretty crappy, but what the hell you get the extra point just because this is for me, the best birthday present ever! :D

VioletVulpine responds:

THANKS

[The REAL IQ Trib 3]

Ugh

Graphics: I was not a huge fan of the way it looks, it all feels so dated and effortless. 0/3

Sound: The tracks you chose were not bad, but hearing that song play on and on and on and on drove me insane. There are more tracks I realized while writing this, but because you either die or enter pixel land you never normally hear them anyways since it restarts! 1/3

Execution: I liked the challenge, but there a difference between challenge and absolute crazy hard and frustrating. It felt more like an inside joke more than anything, and the lives system that causes you to start over made me more frustrated with it then eager to finish. I could Not get into this. 0/3

Overall there was some effort into this but not much. Overall it feels dated and lacks any sort of fun.

VioletVulpine responds:

Oh yeah, I'm sure 2 weeks isn't effort at all!.

[The Bictionary]

Epic Fail

That was... useless :/ There was no point to this flash you fail in trying yet again

BanglaBoy96 responds:

It was Clock day dumbass! (A DAY FOR SPAM)
