Darren's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Earth Defender Asteroids Game]

It's a decent game, but you shouldn't be able to die immediately after you spawn. You should either spawn in a safe area, or have a short amount of invulnerable time after spawning. Also consider making bullets look different from the other particle effects.

NoxtarApps responds:

Yes, thank you so much for the feedback. I fixed that and added extra features, check it out :)

[SpriteDodger]

I'd recommend actually making the sprites rock, paper, and scissors. It would be more intuitive to play and look better.

AtomusGames responds:

Thanks for your feedback. While I'd agree it makes it more intuitive, I think the shapes add an extra level of difficulty because players need to think every time they switch shape. We will do some testing with different sprites and see what we can do.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[Platformer Tutorial AS2]

Good tutorial.

Everything was explained well, but I'm having trouble using the hitTest thing. It's only my second day with flash though, so whatever.
4/5
9/10

ActionSick responds:

Thanks, recomend to tutorial collection please!

[Being a Helpful NG'er]

Very true

A lot of people on newgrounds need to watch this. Sadly, the ones that need to read it the most are least likely to. I think you could have had a bit less text to read in there, but I can see why you made it the way you did. I really liked the music too!

RohantheBarbarian responds:

Thanks for the review! It is sad, but if one person makes the effort to improve their habits, it will be worthwhile.
