cykotiq's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico's Mansion! (Demo)]

I just don't get it...

people keep submitting the same crappy stick animations over and over... and then, when a true talent stands up, he decides to quit Flash after a stunning piece of work. It really is a shame such talent goed to waste. In other words, I was in awe when I played this and completely shocked when the elevator sequence turned into a "This was the demo" background. Nevertheless, no matter how much I'd like this game to be finished, I respect your decision to quit Flash (after all, there are ONLY 24 hours in every day). Good luck with your life, and thanks for this demo.

[trippy (?) 3d (?) thingy]

Err, ooookay...

this might be pretty impressive coding, but this does not belong on the portal. People want to be enterteined by cool games, funny cartoons, stuff like that. Not some (kinda) 3D blue balls.

MetaphorcE responds:

I'd disagree - newgrounds is a place for amateurs to show their flash - so if you found the coding impressive, it <does> deserve to be on the portal.
why can't people take the view "if in doubt, protect" rather than "if in doubt, blam" (but then I would say that, cos I'm trying to get my flash on the portal - my profile should back that up tho)

[Clay smash game]

Quick fun

This game kept me entertained for approximately 21 seconds (which is half the time I'm taking for this review). Graphics were in clay fight style, which I like. Sounds were okay, not great. It could've used some sort of soundtrack maybe. Perhaps you rushed things a bit on the animation (a red tint tweening background is easier than a dying clay figure, although that would've looked much cooler). The game's concept isn't that great either, although it shows that you got quite some talent. Keep on practising both your animation and programming skills and you'll grow here on NG.

Thanx for taking the time to let me know what's wrong with the game!! I really appreciate that! I really like making interactive things. This one was my first but I will try to make more and better games soon! tnx again!

[VDrummer v1.5]

looks like marzipan's

actually it feels and sounds like marzipan's as well. anyway, this was a nice little gadget, too little to my taste. It could've used some riffs, maybe some songs to drum along to. it looks boring as it is now, and there are not a lot of options. try to extend on this. graphics are okay, sounds are clear.

[Gravity Ball 2]

skobydop didn't work?

i played the game, beat it while losing only 1 or 2 balls altogether, so it could be a bit harder to my taste. I saw a review somewhere telling you this game was too hard, so, oh well, maybe that makes it just right ;) anyway, the music started working on my nerves (perhaps you could go for 1 longer soundtrack instead of 4 short ones). other than that, this game rocks. and the password in the end doesn't work, or so I think, I didn't take enough time to memorize it correctly =P I loved the hoops, the trash can and the fans (extra style points for that). The block's graphics were kinda sucky though. I had no "ball stuck" issues (lucky me). And i'm most definately looking forward to GB3!

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

That's skobydob just put it in and press enter

[Camera Killer]

Great game!

YEAH! Finally, my revenge at all those annoying flashpoles! I loved this game in all its simplicity! Only thing I missed were racing sounds and some background music. And the game is pretty hard as well. I never managed to hit two aligned flashing posts both. And the police stopped me before I even saw 'em :P Other than that, great game!

[Mr. Hardball - Wild West]

Very enjoyable

I enjoyed this game very much. I like the characters you made/chose, the sounds were in place as well. Like you said yourself, there is always room for improvement. What about some good, bad, ugly background music? Just a thought... And there is one small "glitch" in your game, it's not disturbing and most people won't even notice, but Level 9 (Packman) is called Level 10 in your game. Well, congrats with this great game furthermore!

thanx, i very glad u enjoyed it, i spent some time on it... =) and thanx for noticing me on the little error u found.. fixing it right now.. =)

[Interactive Egg Xmas Card]

different for sure!

This interactive x-mas card looks cute and is pretty funny to play around with for a couple of minutes. The sounds were very appropriate, the graphics look nice. The only thing that felt wrong is the fact that you had to keep your mouse button down to see the animation. At first I kept clicking and sounds went berzerk :) Also, the clicking areas were weird, for example, clicking the top-right corner of the fireplace resulted in a turning hat, changing to a snowman. I really liked the car coming from the bear's mouth, and the launched santa from the chimney. Altogether a nice christmas card.

[¥ afhh]

every snake on NG has the same bug

when you want to make a quick turn, you turn around 180° and bite yourself. Nearly everyone is using an opensource snake flash and customizes it to their personal liking. Not very effort-like. However, a ¥ version had yet to be made. No blam, no woot. Just, average, probably even a little under average.

[Jeopardy Category Blitz]

i like, i like!

The questions are original (lol @ mushroom addict) but quite limited. There are only 35 questions in this game, so I'd like to encourage you to make more categories! This means I like the game (like most of your games) but I want to play it longer and more often. Also try to exclude categories that have been used already in a round. One more advice: keep on making more games like this! You've definately got your own style.

pacdude responds:

Hehehe I'm only one man! I can't write all these questions!!!! But, I must! I must write these questions up! I will! I WILL write these questions up!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
