Dew's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Monster Basement]

Fun.

This was definatley one of the more fun games, at NG. It had suspense, detail and wonderfull gameplay. Each thing, right down to the smallest, most unneeded thing. The gameplay in this game was deep and suspense filled, truly a thriller style game. Not only that, but there really isnt any room for improvement. Each thing, right down to the last peice was made well and done well. Very nice game.

[RockStar Nations]

Simple yet fun.

This game was probebley really quite simple to think up of or complete and that is evedient in the gameplay, but it is very fun. It combines simplicity and fun and rolls it in a big ball. This game is easy enough to anyone who hasnt tried it before, and fun enough to keep the players who already know this going. Anyway, the graphics of this submission were okay, but not great. They didnt overwhelm me even with the awesome menu. Nonetheless good game, with pretty much nothing to improve, to bad its already been done countless times.

[HeliStorm]

Fun.

This is definatley one of the funner games out there. The style of rescue and destroy is always fun to play, and combined with good graphics and amasing game to play. To start off, the graphics were really quite good each little thing seemed detailed enough, but to detailed that the game would lag or it would take your focus away from the main goal. Which brings us to gameplay the gameplay of this submission was really fun and beating that first level is as rewarding as anything. Any good graphics good gameplay good game.

[Dark Tower]

A bit odd.

To start off, this game is a bit odd. The wierd looking graphics really made this game odd in a way, the giant skull spider and bats looked like they were animated and looked real, but combined with the fire pits and the character they clashed in style and I think really brought this games's score down. The gameplay was what you would expect from a game like this, so no real points there. If you ask me just add better graphics to this and you will have a fine game.

[Bar Fly]

Deeper then most.

This particular submission is alot deeper then most of these contest submissions which is really nice. The fact that there is a story and mini game AND free roam ability is just awsome. The graphics looked good, but they didint look great. Somthing in between. The style of play was alot different then pretty much all of the contest submission, so nice work there too. The gameplay was as much fun as a normal note game like this, but the added minigame and custimization is just marvalous. Nice work.

[Luis - Catch A Taco!]

Thats it?

Wow, I was expecting a short easy game, but this took maybe 20 seconds to complete. Anyway the graphics sure were nice, the tacos looked very detailed as did Luis. Even the background was done well, to bad that that was really the only major differences in things in this flash. Maybe levels or a higher goal would make this better. Or even a little side animation of him being satisfied. Nonetheless not a bad game, it was fun while it lasted and the shortness does give it a slight replay value. Good work.

Rudy responds:

Thank you. I really appreciate the review. My buddy and I was thinking of this idea when we realized "oh crap -- today is Luis Day!" So we whipped this together, me doing the animation, and him coding it -- and we ended up making this. I really hope to make it harder later on. If you haven't seen the loosing sequence you should loose on purpose and check it out. I recommend stay on the LEFT side of the screen to activate loosing all the lives (more tacos are located on the right.)

[Luis the Magic Mod]

Alot of noobs.

Well there sure are alot of noobs in this game. Nonetheless cool idea you thought up, maybe not exactley the most orginal, but it had its own mexican flavour ;) It would be nice if there would be some sort of boss or somthing instead of endless noobs. Nonetheless the graphics were nice, but the simplicity of them and boring overall look of the noob and spam didnt really help the graphics. Luis himself looks nice though.. ;) Anyway not a bad game, but not a great one. Just one of those average games, at least its better then pong...

Fion responds:

All your comments I agree with strongly, I made this game over the course of a single day so no extreme effort was put in, I was in a rush and the idea was just something shitty I thought up. Thanks for your review.

[Luis' Mexican Standoff]

A bit annoying.

This is an okay submission, but a bit annoying. What I mean is, when I "draw" im always a bit early because the "draw" message dosent appear right on the red part, but in the middle. Which is frusterating :/ Anyway the graphics werent anything to gawk at, but they werent horrible. The gameplay was fun too, but once you beat everything since the difficulty DIDINT change.. it got really boring. Anyway average game, somewhere in the middle of the pack.

Kart-Man responds:

Lol, my original intent was to get you to draw in the middle of the red zone. However, I do see your point. I guess I'll fix it to avoid any further grievances. And I updated it with slightly harder gameplay in the later rounds already. Don't know if it's still too easy though. XD Thanks for playing anyway.

[Jumping Mac]

Okay.

This was an okay game, I wouldent call it a good game, but a good one nonetheless. The graphics in this game were okay, but again they didint really overwhelme me. They looked nice, but not amasing. It would be nice if he didint always jump, since that didint slow down gameplay, but it was a bit annoying. The gameplay itself isnt all to bad, but once again it didint seem that great. It didint seem like that much fun and I really had no desire to finish the game. With out desire to finish theres no replay value ether. Anyway average game.
