NOgood's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[RaidenX]

you've mastered it!!

I remember a while ago, playing and reviewing your other Raiden IIS - Part A title. Saying how the 'purple' weapon wasn't like it was in the arcades but you compensated well. Your reply was that it was SHOCKINGLY DIFFICULT (as I could imagine) to program such a weapon... now just some months down the track HERE YOU ARE!!!!

From a creative point of view... it's not original.. but that wasn't the point here... it was merely the achievement of something remarkable in terms of programming! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID IT!!

Fantastic stuff!

P.S. Only thing is mayb some of the bg's were a lil 'rushed' and that it was a bit too easy.
Too bad you're not making an 'Ikaruga' game for flash... you heard of that game b4? hahaah

Go0gley responds:

Thanks a lot. ^ ^ The plasma script took me one week of experiment and glitch-fixing, and I guess it payed off at the end. Lol memories. =D

About the backgrounds, I can make them as beautiful as I want, but the limitation is the demand on CPU. Flash overreacts to intensive graphics (you must've experienced this - Takamori legend!) and generally slows down the game, so I optimised them.

As you realised, I guess I've mastered my 2D shoot-em-up skills (finally!). Next game I'll do might be rpg, action, puzzle... well I don't know yet!

[Kung Fu - Remix]

good ol shit

haha i was so shocked when i read that this was a remake of the classic kung fu game...cuz i loved it so much! hahah in fact when i was playin some flash fighting games a few months ago, i was thinking...man...some1 needs to make a flash version of kung fu! haha
the AI isn't 100% as the original..but u can't really lose pnts for that cuz i mean...they're nintendo and u can't mimic their game physics exactly.
the game was damn hard...partly cuz i'm shit (i clocked nintendo version tho) but its cool anyway
i liked the addition of a super...nice!...wot button do u press? NR1? wtf is that?
I like ur tutorial, intro etc...
I understand that you were going for the same look as the old nintendo game, but me, i'm not a big fan of sprite movies, I always want the graphics to be improved. So, i would've liked to see these graphics improved alot, like..bring the game into the 21st century.
anyway..fantastic stuff...im realli glad you made it
gotta show all my friends! ahha

[D-Fence the Game...]

great game but needs improvement

right now im on lvl 24 and writing this review while watching my auto-defense do my work for me = )
most ppl have already mentioned that its too easy but also addictive and fun....i'll discuss the things that would make this even better!

- the start needs more enemies. when u said it started off slow...i didn't know u meant kill 1 person every 5 secs...that's just shocking. almost made me quit the game.

- cursor needs to b diff color cuz when u're trying to shoot those guys on the canons u can't see where ur cursor is

- u shud b able to upgrade ur shooting power...like...u know..have a more powerful gun so u dun have to press 20 times just to kill the tank. i dun wanna stuff up my new mouse as i did my old 1 from clicking too much = )

- u should b able to press 'R' on ur keyboard to reload

- the tanks shud shoot while driving up to ur castle thing, not only when they reach within a close distance

- have planes come in and attack ur base as well

- ability to plant land mines, u'll have to buy them of course, and keep re-planting them as they get used up (shud b used in conjuction with the enemy planes)

otherwise..great game

[Ultimate Mini Games V2.1]

has potential

i played ur older version, and this isn't that much of an update, although u said there's hidden bug fixes or among other things. if u keep updating it with 1 game each time you're gonna have like 10 versions of the game. maybe you just want immediate feedback and bug reports b4 u continue...but for our sake u should prob just hold out and instead of releasing 1 new game, release 3 and THEN run a usability test. I think the ideas behind the games are quite good, and like i said...there's heaps of potential for the game to not be good, but great!
every1 will tell u to improve on the graphics to make it a lil easier on the eyes - no one likes to see atari graphics on their computer.

Amboutji responds:

ok, ill work on just updateing this file and not new submissions.

[_ULTIMATE TUTORIAL_]

thank u

just wanted to say thanx for compiling this tutorial, even tho i already know most of the stuff u put in. i found the sounds links u provided and sound packages very useful tho = )
gave u a 5!

[Raiden IIS - Part A]

excellent

i think this game is extremely cool!
the weapons aren't exactly like the game but they're close enough to it. it still makes for a great game anyhow, just maybe the auto fire should b quicker...more frequent...cuz in a real game, u dun press the fire button once every 3 secs = )
other than that i think it's remarkable how u managed to mimic the real game so closely.

Go0gley responds:

Yeah, the weapons are impossible to imitate exactly. >_< Especially the plasma ray, I don't have a single clue of how to make it sway about and lock onto targets! (Not mentioning increasing its thickness and ability to tie knots when it upgrades!)

[Balloon Duel]

absolutely fantastic!

I had no idea the full capabilities/potential of flash, until I played this game! I thought flash was u know...an animating program...with some action scripting here and there but omg..this game is incredible! I noticed you're the author of Final Fantasy A+, two thumbs up mate, two thumbs up!

Only gripe, should've come with sound, i couldn't be bothered typing in the address of my mp3's.

Still gave it a 10!
