Darren's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Showdown Arena]

I'd recommend that terrain should stop bullets (otherwise it doesn't serve much purpose), and you should consider altering the controls. If Player 1 hits W at the same time Player 2 is hitting control, that's the shortcut to close the tab. It's an okay start to a project, keep adding things.

FSt-Germain responds:

I didn't know it closes the tab, thanks for letting me know. The bullets go through walls because as mentioned in the original, it's a remake of my first real game, I didn't know much about collision, so I just let them keep going. I appreciate the response, and I'll take it into consideration when developing new games.

[Break It]

To me this isn't really a game, so much as part of a game. This is a starting point. Add some gameplay depth, add incentive, add a story, etc. Maybe you play as a leprechaun who hates furniture and raids people's houses to beat their chairs and cabinets into gold, I dunno. You say on your profile that you like to make small games because it's easier to accept bad feedback but...maybe you would get better feedback on games that had more to them. Don't be afraid to try something bigger rather than settling for releasing what feels like an unfinished game every few weeks or so.

[SlimeSplitters]

Sorry, but this game doesn't even work long enough to finish the first level (yellow slime won't jump). The collisions are buggy if you hold to move toward a wall while falling. Try to put in a little more effort/testing before you upload.

[Rockabilly Fright Night]

Fairly fun, but could definitely use some polishing. For instance, enemies shouldn't be able to shoot you the moment they spawn, some sounds keep playing when there's nothing left to cause them, and it's odd that your gun doesn't start firing as soon as a level starts.

[The Lab]

A nice little Doom-inspired game, but I'd suggest that next time you use mouse controls for aiming.

[noT gravitY expansioN onE]

The gameplay concept is pretty decent, and I think if you got some actual graphics (and sound) done you'd find yourself doing much better with views and ratings.

[BrickBreak]

Just fix it up

It's good, but you need to fix a glitch. Once you lose, it gets messed up and click to begin stays there.

fuzzdog responds:

I'll fix it.

[Sonic on Clouds]

Fun

I like it, but I think the whole thing overall should be faster. It should pan a bit faster and you should be able to move faster. Also, the ring sound is delayed. Besides that it's well made.

[Sensational Space Pong]

Just plain bad

I can understand that you were practicing action script, but I found it impossible to not score as long as I hit the ball, witch didn't even take any moving. I'm sure you tested this and I don't know why you would submit it after seeing how pointless it is.

Marsupial responds:

i will be trying to fix that soon

[Diver of Skies]

Not very good.

Staying in the middle basically guarantees that you'll it 99% of the hoops. You don't even have to do anything.

AIDSMcGuff responds:

The rings we're a little big, and I may go back and make them smaller, so then they can randomize their position more.
