[S.O.A.P SNAKE EATER]

A little overdone concept

This is a fun style game but your sensitivity to the snakes is set too high which makes the user get frustrated that they did not touch a snake but the hit test must have it set to far out from the snakes. This makes this game sloppy. Try to get this fixed.

Mechabloby responds:

I won't try and get it fixed because it ain't a serious game! OMG. I wrote texteserzesdsjsghdgsfuchuyvuu i

seriously though. I know what you mean, it does ruin the game.
Thanks for your review. :)

[Dress Up Yourself: WC Ed.]

This a was well constructed Webcam game

I loved this and the photo feature was nice. Would it be possible for you to teach me how to initiate the photo option and perhaps the image import option too. But I am more interested in the snapshot option since my face paint program would benefit from a stationary image.

By the way nice job.

Nobody messes with the king of the portal!

This game really did a spectacular job bringing SBC culture and old school space invaders together. You could perhaps make a version or level with newground contenders for the portal or even members of the various lock, glock etc.

Athi responds:

Sure :D Why not ^^

[Die Hero! The Monster Sim]

Need work in the gameplay department

First item collection is close to impossible and so is the collection of hour glasses. I felt that the difficulty took away from the game. The average gamer wants some sort of instant gratification that the game is do-able but this is hardly seen in this game. I am seeing major frustration level rather than fun. The graphics are wonderful but the gameplay needs revamping. I saw no problem with jump cleaving but the gameplay was too fast. Perhaps the enemies moving towards him would take away of the need for running so fast which you do not expect trolls to be able to do. They are dumb and slow not fast like in this game.

[2006| LoP Trilogy 2]

This is a seriously indepth game

I loved your story line and who could not love your choice for a voice actor. We loved him as Xin's Legend and I am glad he came in for the job. I loved the two distinctly comedy based fighting sequences especially the insult. The only bug I saw was the key in the gears. The button object did not always function correctly to the point I started over. The game is fun and I thank you for the clues along the way. Is there any chance you might revamp the first piece of your trilogy since you did a phenominal job in your flash ability on this one but I would love to see the same skills for the first one. It would really cool to get Edwyn to do the voice overs in the first!

A game to be careful about

First where did you learn your Spanish because adding o's to Spanish swears does not make it work. You might want to ask for some help to spruce this part up. Also get rid of that demeaning voice at the beginning. I would be willing to fill in for his dialog if you like also and voice act for him. The game is an excellent example of a work related game it gives me the feel of I love Lucy meets Cantinflas.

Also it gets too quick way to fast. Remember 11 pesos is a dollar you may want to lower your highest increment to 20-50 centavos (2 to 5 cents American). Also you need to reset the games speed after somebody loses since the games seems to remain fast.

I did like the appeal but I felt it was too demeaning of the character you created it would be more fun to play with some less stereotypical Mexican phrases.

TrashMachine responds:

Thanks for the tip regarding the game speed.

As for the character, Edgardo is a real guy, and the character based on him (including the nonsense Spanish) is a satire of Latino stereotypes. It might be hard for someone to gather that off the bat, but c'mon, it's a little over the top to be taken seriously (I hope).

Thanks for the honest review.

Nice game

The game is a fun and addicting game yet I see this being more aimed towards graphic tablet and table PC users. It does not lend itself well to a customary mouse or touchpad. Also it gets too hard too fast. This does take away from its ability to create replay ability. You mention more points for 6 of the same piece I don't see this possible without a tablet or global position light pen nor is this feasible by the time one sees more than 3 instances of the same object.

The concept is tight but the gameplay needs work.

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

You're absolutely right.

I hadn't used my mouse for quite a few months (though it's still plugged in) and trying it just now, I notice it does seem a lot harder.

I could still get 6 points for the first few shapes (after deleting the initial vertical lines, I got 6 Xs and 6+s but I couldn't survive nearly as long.

I think I see a real need for difficulty levels.

I'll be honing this at some point in the future. Thanks for the really useful review.

[Soccer Dodge]

Major Error in score board

Nice concept but don't submit errored work when I see that a piece mentions undefined I know somebody either forgot to set initial values to zero or they have a problem with undefined variables. Be sure to fix this and resubmit it.

[Tricky Bucket]

A good start but a little buggy

First one should never let their spelling be that obvious. If you forgot how to spell "score" look it up. Second the scoring mechanism is quite buggy. Sometime it fails to tally. Level 1 is way to slow but I really like the speed levels and the functionality of the arrow button works well. Do some minor programming improvements and your game should have a long stay in newgrounds.
