Lockdude's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Learn Algebra!]

Good but some suggestions...

With this type of game, in my opinion, for it to work you need to include a calculator in it, or at the very least, some working out space. It's not overly hard to create a script to let someone draw in a designated space, I could probably help you with it if you really wanted. But you definately need to have at least some working out space for this game. Not everyone will bother grabbing pen and paper. Good idea, but for me, just lacking something.

TheFrozenBunny responds:

Thanks for your suggestions I'll use them to make an impoved version of this game.

Could be better.

For a game like this to be great they really require a progression in the game play. Something to work towards. Whether it's receiving more power-ups (to which this game has none) or simply facing harder enemies. Otherwise the game becomes boring and repetitive. Sorry, this is what happened for me here.

[The Black House]

Ooooh, so close!

68km from Texas! Oh well I will keep trying! Really good game, not the most complex one ever, but really addictive! I don't know what happens when you get to Texas, but if you can go past it leaderboards would make this game perfect! I only gave it a 3, but after playing it more I wish I had given it a 4, sorry. Really great game, keep up the good work =)

[that FISH game]

Could be better.

Fish have an animation when they swim, there is definately nothing wrong with the game part of this, but the entertainment factor and the animation has to come into it. Spend some time on the graphics, making the fish actually swim and what not. Plus, do not say it gets better as it goes along, that is no excuse for a bad level or game. I did not play past the first level, because I ran into that fish, died, and then was too bored with it to try again. If the level is boring, get rid of it, or make it interesting. I should have played more of it to properly rate the game, but the truth is, I could not be bothered, and I'm sure neither will many other people.

eazyjoe responds:

yeah the fish was originally animated but killed you too often by runing into the sides on its own.and yes you should have played more than the first level

[The Red Game]

I like the core of the game.

I thought it was alright, but after 1068 boxes I simply quit it out of boredom. I think the idea is good, nothing too new or original, but it works. My advice, spend some more time on it, add in something you need to collect, add some goal to it, have a menu screen, going straight into a game never works. People LOVE leaderboards for this type of stuff. Just spend a lot of time adding onto it. Maybe have different levels, such as holes you actually need to go through, that'd be much more challenging, get it to speed up, have bigger nasties come at you, as a story line, I'm sure a random story about a stranded red blood cell trying to find it's way back into the mainstreem of your veins would be a brilliant heart-warming story the whole family will love!

I am a sucker for these types of games, although they are not really new, or innovative, but they work. So really, just add to it, and I think it will be a good game.

PS. It's not really that close to 3D, lol.

[Max RPG]

A lot of lacking potential...

I thought in a strange way the simplistic circle enemies and people worked really really, the animations smoothley work in the way. But... I really think it lacks so much potential. For me a turn base RPG is nothing without a storyline. If you were to make a storyline to this, and not just a text telling you what's happened, but some action between fights, then I think this could work.

But sorry, just not enough there for me to want this to stay.

Also when you got defeated your HP went into the negatives...

befor I got flash I played with marbles on the floor and I always made these marble people so thats were that came from

[bleach battles!!!]

I don't know why this wasnt blammed.

This flash is alright but you could have done so much better, i just simply don't think it is up to the standards of newgrounds, although i have seen a lot worse. If you are just getting opinions there is a whole NG alpha section for that. The credits button didnt work, there attack I could probably pull off myself, all they did was swing there arm. In multiplayer when you beat your opponent you could still attack them making both of you. When you get to the second level you can't use the first until you complete it. And when you start the first level it goes straight into a timer with no explaination, the second level has no explanation either. There are so many glitches and inconvieniences like there being no back or menu button, that could be fixed with a bit of extra effort and actionscript-know-how.

The music and graphics were nice though and you have obviously put a lot of work into it, just fix up easily noticable glitches and inconvieniences before you post a demo.

Tom-Arto responds:

Not up to newgrounds standards aye! if the "B" got on im preety sure this is up to scratch. and for the record ur not supposed to be able to play all the challenges till the game is completed. And i no you've got nothing better to do than rip off my flash and pretend to have a non bias review just cos its better than your '8 ball' (which by the way was deemed not up to newgrounds standards BY NEWGROUNDS).

P.S. I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!!!

[Magic Magnifier]

WOW!

I never knew a magnifying glass could see through objects whoa :O That was amazing... too bad the whole thing was bad, make a game out of it, it's kind of pointless as all you've done is thrown in a mask and stuck it on newgrounds. Make it better and resubmit it.

[Pac Adventure]

Awesome job, I love it!

Great Work!

[Blaze Ball]

Nice, addictive.

Nice, I really liked it, only maybe the person could start off with maybe a little easier game play. But overall great.
