squidly's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Invaders In Ohio!]

You might want to switch up controls.

Maybe make it so that instead of everything is drag controlled, make the cannon aim with the mouse, and the house be controlled with the arrow keys/WASD.

But good game overall.
You might want to speed up the amount of time it takes for more then one plane to start appearing, and a money system instead of a definate upgrade, but then again, that's your call, and with some tweaking, the definate upgrade system isn't a bad idea.

Zimwik responds:

I thought it would make it more challenging to drag both the house and cannon, but I see why you thought the other system is good too. Thanks for the review!

[Pico Needs Coins]

Holy Fuck, my eyes!

You might want to be a bit easier on the background.

And uh, I can't replay if I fail.

Thundaboom responds:

Haha yeah, I'm fixing that ;D

[Pyroscape]

Erm, an ad as an ending?

Well, you could consider him crashing into a building as an ending.
Whatever.

I still got a laugh out of the cheesiness and novelty of this game, good work.

Fro responds:

It's kind of suppose to loop. Like he ran into the building and it explains the beginning. :P

[Princess Defender]

A little sloppy, but nice.

I like the concept, and I like the execution, to a point.
Some things you never explained and was hard to get at first, such as the shotgun reload thing, I thought that was some sort of melee move, explaining these things is always a plus.

However, the game was good in general.

McRhyme responds:

I guess some more instructions would have helped the average player! It's quite technical if you want to get far into the game.

[NG Chat Beta]

It's all bots.

Took me 30 seconds to realise that, but clever post choices make it harder to tell, unlike some other fake chat things I've seen.

Good job though.

evan210 responds:

DON'T SPOIL IT.

[Furious Moles]

Eh, I don't get the acheivmants.

How am I supposed to unlock them?

Anyways, really great game, lots of style.
This game deserves front page in my opinion.

Just add a description for the achievement so people know how to unlock them.

iojoe responds:

Thanks for the feedback squidly. I might add in some info/clues on the achievements as you suggest.

For now though:

10 levels. no problem: beat ten levels
freedom of speech: let the moles have their say
viewed 'em: ......credits
pacifism: when you get a hammer you have a choice
7 flavors served: make each of the ice-creams count

Hope that helps :)

[Indirect Assault]

Concept and Code is good

However, the game's a bit easy, try making it a bit harder, make things faster, you know? Also, improve the visuals, I'm all for the simple ones, but at least some flash would help you out.

meman32 responds:

I agree the visuals need help, but how far did you get, it gets hard at 30,000 points, which is very soon after 10,000 the speed at which you get score increases.

[Click Click Domination V1]

Eerm...

Well, how do I put this nicely?
It's just not... well... original, and, well, the graphics kinda suck.

FGFProductions responds:

I know. I might redo one but actually put some effort into it. Yeah I should really change the graphics to better cause yeah. I know they suck. Orginality. I will look into it. (never)

[Vira]

Don't like text based games...

Without even a good interface, I can clearly see you were trying to be like Pandemic, but Pandemic has a good interface, and is a bit deeper, and well, less texty. I can't actually see any work put in to make you actually feel like you're doing something, and stratagies were almost completely impossible to make since you couldn't actually clearly get exactly how things would affect the virus.

Try making things clearer and more organized, and well, look better.

X6FlashDev responds:

Okay, thanks.
I'll do that.

[Apple Snake]

It's Good, but it's also Bad.

The good part is that the game's well coded, and it has some neat ideas.

The bad part is the fact that the game is WAY too slow, and complete mouse control can get annoying in a game like this, in all honesty, keyboard controls would've been a better idea. Also, you need some sort of music.

mihailoff responds:

thanks!
I'll add some speed
I was trying to add keyboard support but that was real hell: sometimes you need long radius, sometimes short. Maybe i'll find solution, i don't know right now.
Music maybe will be later, need to find musician :)
Upd: speed and music
