"Obviously I have missed something"

submission: Shopping Cart Hero 2

date: December 31, 2009

This is not fun.

There is no variety beyond crashing and killing my harem, or not crashing, and getting a piddly amount of money. This is complicated by instances where a trick sticks even though I have stopped holding down the final button several seconds before.

That very much aside, the runs themselves are not fun, and the process of saving up is laborious (and difficult when a lagged trick kills your harem, forcing you to repurchase them.)

-.-

A largely functional game, but not fun.

"Simple and cute!"

submission: Christmas Flash: Mistleto

Nothing elaborate, but still fun to watch.

"Times up - pay to play more?"

submission: Mysterious Cave Escape

date: December 9, 2009

My usual opinion of such setups prevails. This is a berely functioning "escape the room" game, and so I was planning to give it an 'ok' score, but running out of time and being told to pay so I can play more is unacceptable.

The primary reason being, I was annoyed more than I was entertained. I didn't want to play more, so asking me to pay so that I might do so is utterly asinine!

Score: 8

"Valiant..."

submission: Potbot

date: December 9, 2009

I am somewhat torn as to how I feel about this animation overall.

I commend the ingenuity, the original concept, and the strong attempt at a visually appealing presentation.

The sound was simple, which was appropriate. The visuals were ok, but it felt a little too 'pixar' for it's own good. There is a reason that the company hires dozens of animators, uses top of the line software, and throws millions of dollars into their budget.

In short, I like where you took this. Perhaps you were shooting a bit high visually, but that is what we should expect from our posters on newgrounds.

I would recommend working on the pace and the motion of the characters. When Potbot showed up on the table and his surface flexed to express himself - awesome. When potbot jumped off the table - horrible. He was floating, he was static in appearance, and that slower moment broke the flow of the animation. When potbot was driving over the water - awesome. When the sea lion jumped up it might as well have been a picture you cut out of the magazine and dragged in front of the camera.

Score: 2

"Aggravatingly slow"

submission: B.C. Bow Contest

date: November 19, 2009

Fun... ish

The computers take an obscene amount of time to fire. This is especially painful if you are grinding to build a stockpile of good weapons, because you HAVE to to beat the more difficult opponent levels!

I like the target shooting, I like the competition idea...

This was very poorly thought out.

Score: 6

"Passable but..."

submission: Fly Squirrel Fly

date: November 18, 2009

This game is absolutely grind-tastic.

The upper level items do nothing to impress, and they take forever to acquire.

The income for long flights needs to be scaled up.

Score: 10

"Adorable!"

submission: Pokemon - Left 4 Dead

Especially the witch!

Cute as can be!

Score: 10

"YYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS"

submission: LARRY episode 1

date: November 16, 2009

Let me put this quite simply. I cannot give this enough 5s. It is physically impossible, in my lifetime, to give this a suitable number of high ratings.

An absolutely amazing animation, and far too enjoyable for its own good.

Well done!

Score: 10

"*shakes his head*"

submission: The Library Party

date: November 14, 2009

You started off slow...

You almost lost me...

What you showed me, ultimately, was worth every second.

It is surreal, it is 'random' and it is, in its own right, absolutely hilarious.

I truly appreciate that you did more than just move mouths, or simple settle for head motions. That still would have gotten you a good score. You settled for nothing, and if you could have had these women doing backflips, I am sure you would have.

Well done.

A pleasure and a shocking experience all the same.

Score: 8

"Lovely game, but I hoped for more..."

submission: Yo-ho-ho Cannon

date: November 14, 2009

An RPG element would have wooed me completely.

The ability to upgrade canons, armor plating, or to have a "triple shot" where all three cannons fire together... you get the idea.

I understand, of course, that this is meant to be a puzzle game of sorts, but... puzzles can have bigger explosions... right?
