Dew's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crazy Hands]

Lol.

Wow, crazy hands title or not this is not what I was expecting. I laughed so hard when I first saw that "person" waving his arms around. Hilarious. Nonetheless the graphics arent that great, they dont seem very detailed, but one upside is that it dosent really matter because you will spend more time on the game's goal or laughing then really caring about how it looks. Its also a very nice and orginal concept to play too, which is very nice with all these stupid DDR games out there. Overall vey nice work.

[Skytunes]

Different..

Well at least its a refreshing change from the mindless drivel that is DDR based games in that rock out contest. Nonetheless, the graphics in this game were sleek and looked good, they didint really overwhelm me, but they looked nice and did there job anyway. The style is a good change from the recent submissions, so a 1+ plus on that too, but overall this game is still a bit shallow and isnt that great when you look at it closeley. Everything is done well, except that the idea is to simple and boring. Even with the music. Nonetheless not a bad submission.

[Shred Master]

*Sigh*

Seems a bit much to have to go out and upgrade my flash even more then the current 9.0 something people are using, but whatever. The graphics in this game were really quite nice, they werent amasing, but they were nice. If I did see that fire maybe I would have scored it higher, but whatever.. The style of gameplay is a bit dull though, I mean its pretty much the exact same thing as ddr only with more options, and only one button. Which I like since that it isnt impossible to play, but still cant this contest make orginal submissions everytime? Anyway okay game, just a bit dull and unenteresting to me.

[The Nameless Ball Game]

Meh.

Well this game isnt bad, but isnt great ether. Im a guy who rates flashes alot on their graphics mainley because without them people wouldent want to play them, but this particular flash dosent have that problem. The balls and red dots are smmoth, bright and very nice looking, even if it was made easiley. Maybe a background, like a meadow with flying butterflies or somthing would make it look better. The gameplay of this game is also very nice, it seems like alot of thought was put into this and it shows. Nice work.

[>> Musik Marathon <<]

Simple, but not bad.

Well this is quite the simple game to be quite honest and it dosent exactley equal the most amount of fun possble. One of the things that I hate the most about this game is the stupid level set up. Why must we get so close, as to not hit, but still attempt tp jump through the obstaculs? Thats just impossible! Anyway the graphics looked sleek, pretty nice overall very nice. The style of game wasnt to bad ether as the frame rate and fun gameplay really was nice, even with the dumb mapping. Anyway nice submission, good work.

[Pikachu Pong (Practice)]

Its pong.

No matter what random things you add, no matter how "cute" you make it look no matter if its created by the king of Russia. When it comes right down to it, pong is pong. Theres no way to change that. So the obvius gameplay is pretty poor. Maybe if I never touched a console, or ever played flash games or anything like then then maybe I would have liked it, but man its not the 60s anymore stop creating pong. Even with the pikachus on them it still isnt very good. Maybe upgrades, "evolutions" levels, or somthing like that would help. Poor game.

[Sudoku Solver]

This is..

This is pretty much a game to test how fast a computer is. If I wanted to test how fast it was I would have searched it up and figured it out, but this, this is terrible. Not only is there no instructions on how to do a sudoku (Yes, not everyone has enough spare time to do them, who would want to?) But you pretty much need to know the answear beforehand to get a good result. Which is stupid, since whats the point then? Anyway the graphics were poor, thick black lines on a white background. You ever heard of work, to actually make it look nice? Very poor submission.

[The Guess-A-Number 2007]

Lol..

Thats not hard to do, I used to do that trick when I was young. Only differnce is now its quicker to do. I dont understand how this got such a high score, but nonetheless the fact that no other gadget like this is out there really adds to the affect of this submission. Anyway the graphics were average, mainley because the majority of it was numbers, otherwise it would be lower. Anyway the unorginality of this game is what really brought this down. Below average submission.

[Rudiments]

A bit unorginal.

Im all up for your easy to play game, that you apperntley cant lose, but this is just missing something flashy. Where is the "PLAY THIS!!" type of slogan or artwork? No where. And that in my opinon hurt the graphics score. The graphics themselves werent bad its just that they werent great ether. They looked smooth and sleek, but nothing that another above average flash artist couldent do. The gameplay itself was also quite boring, even with music and the end result just wasent that great. Above average game.

DingoEatingFuzz responds:

Personally, I believe this game is a lot more original than most of the other contest entries just because it has something new to offer. The others all seemed to play like DDR, play to avoid things, or not even incorporate synching music. By integrating the rudiments system, this game has something new and fresh to play with. If you take the time to learn the rudiments, use them to your advantage, and really get lost in the rythyms of the music, I think you will find yourself doubting your own criticism about the originality.

[Plasma Orchestra]

Fast, fun great.

This game is fast fun and great. The graphics in the game were very good, but nothing spectacular. A little bit more emphasis really payed off in this submission. Each little bit seemed to be extra good looking. The style of gameplay is really whats so good about this. Not only is it fast and fun, but it has tons of replay value once combined with the music. Which brings me to the gameplay, one of the funnest I have ever played. Somthing a bit unoriginal, but still great fun. Nonetheless awesome game, front page material. Ps: Please dont delete if you find a glitch of some sort.
