VelvetDarkRocks's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Life of a fish]

Yeah, the concept is rather old. You could give ! Fishy ! by Skyemaster a run for its money though. Original and challenging, though the levels themselves were a whole lot easier than I had expected. There were only a few sizes of fish, virtually no danger of eating one bigger than you because of their numbers. Enjoyable and quite entertaining, not bad. Sound effects were also quite decent, though gameplay was a little too fast for my liking. I would have preferred things to slow down a little, but you did well nevertheless.

[Gigasperm Prototype]

Yeah, I agree with the last guy. It reminded me alot of Tamagotchi's, simple but cute. It made me chuckle a few times, very small filesize, all I can really say is improve the graphics a little and add sound. Otherwise it's the perfect virtual mini-pet. Nice going.

[Don't Anger Wade!]

Uh, that's fair enough. Interesting, kinda funny, but lacking a point. It was worth playing though a little odd I must say, not very challenging (except to the idiots- one of the last reviews- that don't bother slowing down) but somehow enjoyable. I guess it was kind of worth making lol, ah well, nicely done. Some sound would have been appreciated though, just a "Doh!" or whatever when he hit the walls and a "Bravo!" when you finished. Makes all the difference. Anyhoo, nice job.

[Orc Siege]

Oo, very enjoyable and very challenging. I played this game for about 2 and a half hours, so nice work taking up that much of my needed homework time!

The animation and graphics, they were.. well to be honest, a little subpar. They could have been improved a fair bit, they were just a bit dodgy, nothing really all that special, but you did do well on details. Just a little scrappy.

The sound I discovered was incredibly annoying. The little guy screaming his poor head off, it was really quite unbearable. The music cancelled out the poor sound effects though, so I could listen to it regardless. You did very well with the music, but the voices.. well they weren't too magnificent. Other sound effects would have been appreciated, but regardless nicely done.

I found the file size a little cruel as well, but the plot was definitely quite well done. I'm not sure how original it was, but it seemed fair to be a young, inexperienced warrior taking on a bunch of orcs. I know it might have turned a bit FF, but if you could fight more than one with your fellow teammates, that would have been pretty nifty.

The game was originally confusing, and one of the main things I didn't like about it was the lack of time. You just couldn't train yourself up to a point where you liked, you couldn't train all the skills *and* all the attacks, it was just frustrating to not be able to get all the way up to the head Orc without him invading your village too. Regardless, it would have been nice to know when you were going to be rewarded with a shield or sword rather than random intervals (if that's what they were).

Though there was a "How to Play" section, it was rather difficult to understand anyway, that really complicated things. You had to test things out for yourself in a few battles first before you got any idea how things worked. Fair enough though, it was still well made.

Other than that, no other commentss complaints or suggestions, except you made a really great game here, and well done for your achievment of getting it on the front page. Nicely earned and very expansive.

[Bump Copter 2]

Definitely addictive. I liked the graphics, they were pretty cool actually. The simplicity and enjoyment factor was amazing, the file size was tiny, meaning no offence to you sir, but I had originally mistook this game for one of Mausland's. It was brilliant, quite challenging and very enjoyable. Everything simple, everything fun.

Nice work Axel. Impeccably well done, though the limited range denies it a place on my favourites list. A set number of levels, it gets rather boring after a while, but regardless it was brilliant of you to put a create level button. Again, nice work. Kudos to you, you did well.

What I'm curious about, is what on Earth is a little red helicopter doing flying through caves and dodging missiles to get to a flag? Maybe a storyline, like training for rescue teams, with the next version (if you plan to make it) the real thing, with more dangers like water and sea currents rather than magnets? Genius though...

[Space Sperm! (Game)]

Oh, mate I'll give you credit for this one. The name and idea in general just pulled me to it lol, but it's the addictiveness that wins the prize. Not meaning to sound like a pervert at all, it really is genius. Simple, but challenging. A very original idea, that somehow earned its way on to my favourites list. Well done sir.

I have to wonder though... How on earth did a single sperm get into a cave? Because that sure as heck shouldn't be there.

PS: Sorry for the sound- my speakers aren't working.

PPS: Anyone who doesn't want to use the mouse, press enter when you crash and Space bar to start a new game.

[Interactive Buddy v.1.01]

This is the most stress relieving game I have ever come across in my life. The medieval flail and fist made it all worthwhile.

Otherwise, I can't see much of a point except to bash the crap out of a buddy, people you hate, and to buy more stuff to knock the crap out of them with. Not that I'm complaining, I think it's a brilliant idea, and you're a genius to come up with it. Very, very smooth animation, nice work with the radio on either speaker, the game itself actually taught me a lot about physics believe it or not (maybe they should make us play this in school?) and it was in general quite amazing with the range of things you could do. The pointlessness brought the time you could play down, but it was very fun nonetheless. Brilliant job.

Tip: If you want to get money, use missiles and click where your Buddy is.

[Anger]

Yeah, for once I have to agree with someone who says a game sucks. There really wasn't much of a point to that, and it was even pretty much too hard to kill. Very poor graphics, hardly any effort put into the sound or anything, nah I didn't like it.

~VelvetDarkRocks~

[Fleets]

Hey that was actually pretty fun. I can only express in so many ways how grateful I am you included the pause button. As a game, it's not really all that flashy. Mildly entertaining, but not worth much after a while. Just as a break though, it's great! I passed all 10 levels over a fortunately long period of time, so yeah I'm glad it lasted. I don't know if it's been done before, but hey I like it, so it turned out very well.

Very impressive backgrounds, and the graphics weren't too shabby either, though the last stage could have been knocked back a few places. I liked it, pretty cool!

[Rekindled 0.4]

I was expecting a fair bit more than this, I'll give that to you now. There wasn't really any point to it, but I thought it was hugely original and it was all right. Just not much of a point of submitting a game engine for something you weren't going to do, methinks. It looks like it had alot of promise though, so if you ever consider actually making the game, I'll be looking forward to it.
