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!

[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.

[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!)
