MchectorII's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Saphire Slime]

This game deserves a 'wow'.Although it has simple character and background designs,everything is well created,the controls are smooth and the concept of having changing backgrounds with places to explore and find secrets and run into enemies.Maybe weapon and character power ups could be included to improve firepower and speed height,for example.Overall,this is an interesting game that is simply fun and enjoyable.

[Wild Wild Cow]

This game is enjoyable as it is almost like those games where characters are launched off to reach the furthest distance except that here,the character is sent off running instead of going airborne,which makes it quite different.Everything is well designed.the controls are smooth and it is quite funny to watch the cow's facial expression when it hits a chilli or campfire(even though it is painful in reality.)There is quite a variety of upgrades to give this game some replayability but more types of upgrades would be better like gear to reduce the slowdown effect of hitting a skull and milk regeneration,maybe?There could also be some arrows to point out the objects in front to improve reaction time to know when and how to react(Green arrows for cash and red arrows for obstacles.)The cash should come in different amounts and not fixed at ten dollars as it would be less tedious to collect,save and retry continuously to get the best stuff.Good work on this simple game anyway!

[Journey Of The Penguin 2]

It has an interesting,but not really new concept which involves finding stuff and gear all over the map and the controls are quite smooth though it can be a little better.The mini map is a little inaccurate in showing where the character is standing,the marker is not on the tile when the character actually is.The design and the character's movement could be improved.A changing background and enemies to fight could be included too.Anyway,as this is a school project means that it is just a beta.Maybe a next part could be a lot better.Keep working on it and good luck!

Thank you for your feedback!

[Stunt Crazy Halloween]

While the concept is still similar,the game remains just as enjoyable as the original version with a little reference to the 'City Siege' series(Do those little people dressed up for Halloween and getting run over look so familiar?)However,sadly the game lacks a little in substance unlike the original one in terms of replayability.While the levels are still brilliantly creating and doing stunts and wreaking destruction are engaging,sadly,upgrades and some other mode to win reputation are missing.Anyway,all is forgiven since this game has not lost its touch and that this was made just in time for Halloween in a hurry,maybe?Good work and hope that a Christmas version is on the way.

[Penguins can Fly! 2]

This game is actually fun if there is time to kill.The penguin is cute and the design is simple like the gameplay but the increasing difficulty in later levels make some of the equipment a must to get before going on further,so this game should not be underestimated in testing the player's skill.The final level may be a surprise for some and a disappointment for others but no doubt,the gameplay makes up for it.More upgrades and power-ups like a double jump or increased jumping speed and more medals would make this game more enjoyable but it is already pretty good like this.

[Hammering Halloween]

While this game has a pretty good Halloween themed concept and smooth controls,it lacks in content that will make it more enjoyable.
The way the pumpkin is launched is quite a problem as there is no way to show the direction the pumpkin is going to fly,and because the pumpkin is falling down,the player has to guess when to hit or the pumpkin will just fall to the ground(This system should be changed back to the old system of keeping the object in a fixed place to get a full chance of hitting it instead of waiting for the pumpkin to laugh and restart again.)
There should be a power meter to get to the furthest,even if without it,everyone has an equal chance of getting the pumpkin flying at the same speed,it fails to truly test the player's skills of knowing how hard to hit to get the best distance.
The gameplay depends on luck as three skulls are needed to get an extra shot which the player can hope to get none,less than or all three when the pumpkin is flying and that luck is also needed that the pumpkin does not hit any land obstacles when it is too low.Upgrades are not only needed to improve the performance of the player but also to give the game more replayability and not just get a high scores position in another website(maybe a skill to smash through obstacles which seem to appear a little too often and a higher chance of perks to appear in the level like speed boost.)
This game could really use some improvements but still quite good anyway.

[YAKU International]

This game has a simple strategy concept and simple design but is quite addictive as the levels become more difficult which as if to say that helping the unfortunate souls in countries which lack basic water supplies is no easy task.The fun facts and the video at the introduction are very educational as they indicate the importance of saving water and that this is the role everyone can play anywhere.Maybe the game could use more content like how to generate electricity using solar energy or even build a town from the ground up using eco-friendly ways.Good work on this and keep it up!

[Harvey's New Eyes]

A masterpiece that is full of dark humor,entertaining narration and challenging puzzles to kill time.From the smallest details to the characters,everything is really interesting even more so are the behaviours and moods of the characters themselves which brightens up the game like the protanogist Lilli who despite does not talk much,will prove her inner strengths and become the heroine in this game,the grouch Mother Superior who hates fun and children(quite ironic for a nun to be like this),the eccentric friendly yet friendly Edna and the snobbish Freeman who is described humorously by the narrator as being 'being worried about Lilli' although he told her to get lost.The wonderful voice talents also add life to these characters,making every conversation and interaction almost seemed realistic,although a little draggy.

Personally and honestly,the greatest regret is that there is a strong inability to comment further on this masterpiece.It is just so awesome in every aspect and quite faultless too.A second part is really anticipated and hope that it will be as excellent or even better.Keep it up and a very good job on this!!
