cykotiq's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Click The Dots]

Level one... Start... Pass...

The game is minimalistic, which is not necessarily bad. I actually like it in all its simplicity. Maybe thirty seconds per level is a bit too much, but still it's nicely playable. The background music could use a bit normalizing, although the music itself is nice. The digital vocals are actually funny (because of the flangy filterish effects). I could not understand "the story" though. The extra's are a nice touch, although single-handed drumming isn't exactly a thrill.

Lasoogney responds:

Actually the 'Story' was the smallest most insignificant part of the game, so I didn't really give a damn if anyone could understand it. It was more of a secret, if anything. Thanks for your review.

[Fun Time Shooter]

I gotta go change my pants now.

Oh my god. That was one of the most hilarious shooters I've played EVER. Kinda like that old school arcade wild west game (What was it called again?), but with a spoonful of humour. Sometimes I had trouble hearing what they said, but it didn't bother me too much while playing.

Crafton responds:

having this talk with my friend at the moment and the name of the game was something like mad dog Mcrea/Mcree

[Caveman Pong]

Some things though...

it looks simple but okay. it's silent but that's not my major problem either. there are two things that bothered me a bit: it seems as if you've used a low framerate which makes the game "choppy". Also, the computer AI is near-impossible to beat. Other than that, this is not a bad game.

rangi responds:

It's not the frame rate (25) , it will be running slow. Try using a lower quality.

The computer AI isn't impossible to beat , but it's better than a very easy enemy paddle now , isn't it.

[Where's Avo?]

a lot funnier than i expected

at first i was afraid it was going to be one of those scary shit movies again, but i was enlightened to see that it was a parodious version of the actual game. and i'm liking it.

bigbadron responds:

lol, thanks. hoped you did good. the previous person sucked at it. :D

[Ace Fighter::Beta]

don't you just love flashkit? anyway, congratulations on completing the tutorial. maybe some scripting credits would be appropriate. in your next version, at least try to add some screen boundaries so you can't fly off-screen. also a lot of other 'upgrades' are possible (more enemies, weapons, levels, bosses, power-ups, timer) but i think they're already mentioned by other reviewers. not a bad job though.

TenkiStudios responds:

Haha, yes great tut! :) and Thank you! This version was basically a test to see what people think so far. I'm planning on upgrades, levels, bosses, probably a fuel meter (instead of time) and more enemies.

[Real Illusions]

pretty okay

in terms of flash techniques this isn't too impressive, but the illusions are good and the slideshow is entertaining. Of course there is a lot of room for improvement - there's another flash movie with optical illusions on Newgrounds, but it works with a bookshelf and has some secret rooms and stuff, which makes it all a bit more interesting.

Cretin responds:

Thanks!!,
For my first submitted movie this is a good turn out!!
Yes there are plans in the future for this interactive movie. When there are lots of illusions there will be a Index. And it will look cooler and easier to get round

[Drawing Hands for Dummies]

LOL!

You did it, you actually did it! :-)

un-mediocre responds:

lol :D

[Draw 3D Heads for Dummies]

Percival Tott, tutorial man

Usually I write pretty complete reviews, for now I'd just like to say: keep these tut's coming!

un-mediocre responds:

Thanks! I will! :D

[Drawing Faces for Dummies]

looks easy enough...

People could learn from this, I guess... I'm looking forward to the "drawing hands" tutorial ;-) The tutorial is good, but the movie is not very exciting.

un-mediocre responds:

Good idea, might think of doing a hands tutorial :P

[PPiR - Check Game]

Nostalgia!

WOW, I haven't heard THAT soundtrack in, like, 5 years! Great sounds (they fit right in, well, duh, but still it's great), graphics are okay as well. Gameplay is good for a quick game or two. A note for the other viewers: the Cory Anotado signature is FAKE. Don't try to copy it, it doesn't work and I know it ;-)

pacdude responds:

The Cory Anotado signature is NOT that fake... it's just not a signature. ^_^ It is my own handwriting font that no else but me has (so I can type out papers that need to be 'handwritten')
