VelvetDarkRocks's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Grave 2]

Okay, I have to admit that was kinda crappy. There was also a glitch that prevented me from changing weapons when I was facing the boss, you don't really need much skill to pass this. It's getting a little overused, and the graphics were less than average for front page material, but nonetheless there was some charm about it I couldn't resist. I love these types of games, though your skills are developing so don't give up due to criticism, you've got a lot of potential for making those little games people enjoy playing. It worked out nicely, though a little more of a story would have been good. Nice work.

Thank you for this good and thourough review.

[Friday the 24th]

I really don't get the point of this game. Yes, it is a horrible slaughterhouse of innocent little Santa elves, but why? No reason, more mindless violence. I don't really like games like these, unlike the majority of the newgrounds community, but what I really don't get, is why you lose and then kill Santa. If you're slaughtering his elves, why is that game over? It doesn't make sense unless it's just the alternate way of showing the ending movie. I didn't like it, sorry, but pointless, violent and unnecessary.

Okay, Jason didn't get any pony last Christmas, and now he's out for BLOODY REVENGE!! And Jason can't die, so it's not game over. You just loose your kills and score. Merry Christmas!

[Tempur 1.0]

Hey awesome game. I played this for half an hour.

To those of you having trouble beating, well... Anybody reasonably aggressive, just walk straight up to them, and tap S. Most of the time, you'll throw them without them attacking you. It kinda takes the fun out of it though, I just throw them halfway then smash the crap out of them.

Heh heh, awesome style of playing, especially loved the slow-mo effect, but this would have been so much cooler if you could jump and crouch for extra combos. I don't know, maybe a version with weapons would be a hit, but this was seriously awesome. I saw the ending coming though, hugely suprised when he wasn't 5, 5, 5, 5. Then boom, whaddya know.

Loved the game, awesome graphics, very nice style, and overall, a very comfortable 9/10.

Thanks VelvetDarkRocks, for such a comprehensive feedback ;)

[Thesaurus of Masturbation]

I saw the preloader and thought hm......... Hm indeed. An entire thesauras on masturbating, well I'll be damned. It was just way too long though, I stopped reading at B, but yeah it was actually pretty funny. Mm, good job I guess.

eddiebalin responds:

You say "way too long"?

Chicks say that about my penis.

;oP

[Tip-A-Cow]

Wow! That was actualy fun! Rather pointless, but my brother now believes he is "The One Cow-Tipper". I think you're a bad influence :P

Cool scenes at the beginning and end, but there's not really alot to say after that. Nice sound effects, cool music and menu, and always cool background. This is quite a nifty little game! Love the way he dances, and especially when he comes back to kick the demon cow. Heh heh, great work with this one. For one and a half months, it certainly turned out very well.

PS: For those of you who can't win, get someone in your family to press one arrow button and you press the other. It's a cinche, but if you either don't have any family, or you're just too half-assed, type in "gotmilk" at the password screen. Don't use it until you're about to quit, which you'll pretty much do 'neways.

AngryAxel responds:

Wow, a whole lot of praises! Thanx! And I glad your brother thinks that, just make sure that he doesn't actually go out and try to tip cows :P

Some people says that it's impossible, unfortunately... They'll just be mad and stomp you 'til youre dead. Well, probably not, but that's what you can tell your brother ^_^

and thanx again for the review and tips for beating the game! And you can just bash your hand against the two arrow buttons at the same time, or switch off Num lock and bash <-, ->, 4 and 6 at the same time! Wohoo, huge progress! Thanx!

[3D Streetlife]

Hmm.

It was hard to figure out what to do at first, and the intro movie takes way too long. It should have a skip button, but a generally good game with almost no background story. Sure it had a story, but it wasn't displayed in the game. Some dudes were killing you for no reason, yu got a gun out of no where, and stuff like that. Good idea with the birds eye view, though I wish there was more to do then just two buildings. I'm still trying to figure out how to pass, so I'll check back in a tick. Hmm. I can't get passed the bar. It's just a door leading out. I'm gonna keep trying to figure out what to do... Maybe I should go check out that high security place. Now that I know I can kill people by clicking on them, I might be able to take down the guard. Rocketlauncher? What the hell is this for? And the hobo wants money? Right, well now I'm pretty sure I know what to do. Umm. This was a pretty pointless review wasn't it. Nice graphics anyway. I'm still tryin' to figure out 3D, but I'm sure you're all tired of hearing my ramblings, so I'm off to finish the game.

Thanks for the reviews....keep coming back, a new version is on its way that will make Quake seem like pacman in comparison....well.... nearly

[Megaman Next - Intro]

Great!

I would normally have loved to read the history, but I was very distracted. Still. I loved the dea of getting all the history and background into one movie as well as a quick tutorial. I reckon sme of the levels were a little hard and I had to try a few times. I'm not gonna stand a chance against the game itself. Am I? =D Oh well. I had fun. Wish me luck. I'll call you if I survive ;-) Okay. Great game. Took a while to get the controls goin and can you hurt those little red guys with the sheild? I almost can't kill them so I just run past them. The boss wasn't the hardest ever, but it looked really cool. It could've used a few more attacks though, but a great game.

Shoot the joes when they move their shield to shoot you. I wish you luck young padowan.

[Pico's Cousin]

I like it!

This was a decent game. It wasn't quite as good as the original Pico's School, but it was just as interactive except easier. The enemies didn't follow a set pattern of attacks like the other one did. Okay, I know they did, but it was over before I could memorise it so I was just clicking everywhere. The plot wasn't the best I've seen, but theinteractivity was good. I would have still prefered it if it had some other things to do. The idea of the control units was quite good. I like things like that. And I always read pointless things that are written in pointlessly small text, so it was easy to solve except I wasn't perfectly accurate for a few times. I couldn't be bothered zooming in. What was the darkness creature? Elmandiblo, the spanish terrorist? Was he just some guy you made? And what was it talking about fighting for it's country?

The battle sequences were a little difficult but not overly so like Pico's school and Bear in the Big House that Blew. I just hate it how I have to click everywhere becuase I usually click out of the screen making them get about 2 free shots.

Still. The overall concept was good and it was a short enjoyable game that took you three months. Thanks for that Magna.

[GunBlaze: Video Shooter]

Doh!

Since when were we graded on our accuracy?!? I was shooting rapid fire all over the place! It wasn't the best of ideas giving infinet ammo and a bullet proof vest, but It's not my game. It's yours meaning it's up to you, and if that's how you anted it, leave it like that!

And you know how it says in real life I'de be full of holes? That's wouldn't be true. I'm a very good gunner. Computer games aren't as easy as reality. I'm very skilled with a gun.each one of them would be dead on the ground with little trickles of blood pooling out of their head while I am laughing. I'de be alot more cautious inn reality, but this isn't reality is it. I'de kick ass in reality, but still.

Hey, I like your house alot. I think. It was blurry, but it looks nice. I think I saw a pool? I think it was just the floor tiles. And why do you have your computer in a different room with a lock? And you have a nice bed. It's a queen sized two person by the look of it obviously meaning too big for one person. You probably have a wife and kids, but that's none of my business, so I'll just back away slowly now...

PS: If you made a game where you are the enemy, doesn't that make it suicide?

PPS: Who's voice was that on the radio? Probably yours.....

PPPS: I thought the message was supposed to blow up.

PPPPS: You look young for someone who's 21. Very young. Almost too young..... I wont press, since I'm striving to respect peoples privacy.....

PPPPPS: You look different as a boss... NOw I'm just droning.

PPPPPPS: I'm getting very carried away with the PS's. Aren't I =)

jamus-se responds:

The ranking system is too strict, I know. I usually get the "full of holes" message myself. I also wholehearted agree between the difference of real and virtual guns: I can't shoot a target 20 feet away with a real gun (I tried).

PS: SWAT teams don't blow up their messages.
PPS: The backup radio is blatant rips from CounterStrike; the other voice is mine.
PPPS: I do look too young to be 21. So long as my ID is in my wallet I would like to stay that way.
PPPPS: I look differnet because my face got blurted out in post production.
PPPPPS: Yes, you really got carried away with the PS's.
PPPPPPS: So did I.

[Zombie Squirrel Attack]

FANTASTIC!

This is so incredibly like time crisis, the most realistic yet. This is definetely the best shooter on newgrounds. Just fantastic!!!!! This kicks ass! Very ingenious to use Squirels as the zombies. That squirel is just so insane. I love it! The boss is fun. Shoot him in every place you can and you've got this red things with little patches of grey lol. When you shoot a squirel in the mouth, it looks like they ate a jam doughnut or something. Really funny. THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOOTER GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED ON NEWGROUNDS!!!!! Kick ass!
