XxPeanutxX's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ching Chong Beautiful]

I like it

I've been a long time fan of the swain and this game doesn't dissapoint.

*****Graphics******
Nicely done, the graphics seem to have that "swain style" to them, I'm not much for drawing or animation unless you consider stick men art, but it looks nice to me.

*****Gameplay******
My favorite part of almost any game, very unique. Like a cross between sonic and mario, it has speed and challenge, with a totally new twist, it's possible for the player to lose his balance causing him to trip, fall, and fall victim to variouse other hazards.

*****Sound*****
Solid sound, no pieces I particularly wanted to put on my ipod and listen to over and over but nothing bad.

*****Challenge*****
Sadly there wasn't much challenge to the game, while it was difficult to get through the levels in a timely fashion the game didn't punish you at all even if you played horribly, it is very possible to get through this game taking 5+ minutes per level, luckily the medals awarded at the end of the levels somewhat motivated me to try and not suck.

Overall - 8/10
I don't know what else to say except I'm a huge fan of the swain's work and this game is fun.

[Icebreaker]

Nice

This is def one of my new favorite flash games, some of the cuts were a bit tricky but that's what made it fun. I do have a quick question since someone said they saw this game on miniclip a few years ago, is this a new game or an old game you are just now putting on newgrounds? either way it's a good flash game.

I like

Really nice game, it was pretty annoying having to go to your website for the full version and having to avoid miss clicking the link to your site in the rather cluttered inventory, graphics reminded me of ragnarok online, a game which I despise but I tried to not let that get to me, it was cool that you could login with a facebook account and funny to see some of the myspace fanboys all angry about that, personally I consider all those sites to be the same, just a place where arrogant people pump hot air into their egos and throw pity parties over silly things.

I really enjoyed this game however, I will have to pick up a new router so I can host diablo3 to play with my friends when it comes out. Good job man.

[Infectonator!]

its fun but...

It's too arcadey, just when you get into the game it ends. I would have liked the game to have been longer.

[World of Pain RPG: C3]

Its cool

Well I guess I'll start with the bad, the dialogue was laughably lazy. I literally laughed out loud when I talked to this ox guy at the start of the game "Hey man come see me in my cabin I'll give you some tasks" or something like that.

The classes could have used more balance as well, I've seen rpg games like this time and time again where there are a ton of classes but some are just slightly different versions of another class in the game with a different name, I.E. Rogue, thief. White mage, Healer. I can't say I was fond of the combat system, the old dragon warrior style battles went out of style in the nes days, I would have liked to have seen some battle sprites and more turn based combat, real time works in some games like the famouse chrono trigger but not so much here, and it was a bit odd that a rogue started with ice magic.

Despite the short comings of this game and the fact that attacks seemed to fail way too often it had a certain charm to it that reminded me of the snes rpg games of my childhood, I quite enjoyed the music as well. If the battle system were cleaned up a bit this game would be a winner by my standards.

[Forever Samurai]

That was cool

Fast paced and more skilled then the average hack and slash, the special attacks really made this game for me, just how there were different ones you could perform and they all required different mouse movements, it really made the character feel like a samurai with numerouse techniques at his disosal, the special attack system while cool is identical to the one in another flash game called straw hat samurai, I guess it could be argued that the special attack system in that game is also identical to okami so I'm not gonna play the whole "you ripped so and so" off game and just say it's an awesome feature and more games should use it.

Nuice graphics, fun game play, I like it.

acrazycanadian responds:

It's cool, I don't feel the need to hide when I rip people off. Okami is a game I love very dearly, and I have played Straw Hat Samurai as well. I wanted to take ideas from them and integrate it into a different type of experience that has more of my signature movement and flow. I guess it worked?

What's really crazy is Muramasa: The Demon Blade, which developed a very similar special attack system at the same time I was making this game. That was not intentional at all! Reassuring, though, to know such an awesome studio was moving in the same direction.

[Level Editor]

New and innovative

I like this game and I find no real fault with it, the music was simple yet light hearted and had a good variety to it so that helped keep this game feeling fresh to me. If I had to make a suggestion I would say maybe put some bosses and more variety in the enemies and ways you can kill them, some mario style enemies you simply jump on to kill wouldnt hurt. This game pioneered a new style of gameplay, and I hope a sequel is made that refines this style.

[The NG Study Buddy]

So simple

Yet so usefull, there's not much more to be said except why hasn't something like this already been made? Very nice.

[Colour My Dreams]

Cool

Nice little puzzle action hybrid, I enjoy these types of games, I just don't get why all these "colour" games are so mellow dramatic. That's my only complaint with the game, I suppose one man's idea of creativity and beauty is another man's idea of corny, otherwise we would all be anime fans haha.

You have my 4 mate.

[T E T R I S ' D: The Game]

Decent

Very interesting concept, simple and entertaining. However the controls are far too sensitive, most of my failures in this game resulted from over shooting a jump, this kind of kills alot of the fun. You could make this game more interesting if you added an adventure element too it, i.e. levels to progress through and even bosses as crazy as that sounds, there is alot of room for more creativity with a concept like this.
