MchectorII's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[OMG Zombies!]

This game is quite decent and also simply made,although the designs could be a little better and also that there could be more upgrades like armor to reduce damage,health kits that appear during the game and that the enemies should attack in waves,instead of appearing one by one until they crowd the map,which is not really big to start with(maybe more maps could be added.)Anyway,good work on this.

kkiilleerr1997 responds:

I'm actually working on an update with health kits. I might add new enemies too, and more maps are comming up.
Thank you for you feedback

[The chase]

Well,it is a beta after all,so not a lot can be expected but the controls work well and the movements are quite smooth,so it is a pretty good start for someone new at it.If the creator is willing to put more time and effort in updating this game with a lot more content,then go for it!Good luck!

ZKMxOwnage responds:

thank you and your right i have to put all my effort in i just couldn't at the time i was making it. Thank you

[Grand Prix Ultima Volta]

This game really bring back good old memories of the games two decades ago with its designs reminiscent of that gaming era.The racing cars's designs look so simple yet it makes the game feel like the real game from back then but what makes this game stands out is its concept.The player would usually need to be the fastest so as to win but that does not happen here,all the player as to do is to 'follow' the car in front and wait for it to be overtaken,while avoiding obsatcles(which are quite few even in hard mode)and making turns,giving players some challenge and medals too.However,as the game has only one map,it becomes too predictable as obstacles still appear at the same areas,so more maps would mean not just more variety but also replayability.Another thing is that sometimes,when the player's car is behind another car,it looks like it is above the ground as the car in front looks lower(or it is just the game.)

This is overall quite an enjoyable game,so good work on this and do try to update this to make it better.

Nocito87 responds:

Thank you so much ! I absolutely agree with you, there are really some things to improve. I also wanted more racetracks, but the filesize would be gigantic. I must find a way to optimize things even better. I´m thinking about making a sequel from scratch with all the ideas and suggestions people made here in mind. Thank you for the review. I feel very happy and motivated for the future.

[AR Arcade]

This game really brought back the good old memories of the retro arcade gaming era with its pixel graphics,every 'character' and sound effects.Maybe there could have be a set of mini games,instead of one but this is still a pretty good idea anyways.There is enough challenge in here to occupy some time and it is a good thing that the player respawns on a later level after a game over,instead of starting over,saving time and effort though it will be more difficult.There could be powerups like shield or rapid-fire for short time in the game but that may ruin the overall arcade gaming experience which tests skills.Good work on this as it is great to relive those old days of the arcade games.

(Note:Points are given when the player's ship is moved in front of its own shots without taking any damage,a harmless glitch or part of the game?)

levelbylevel responds:

Thanks for your comments :) Theres indeed lots of scope here for a further expansion or sequel.

Good catch on that glitch, I'll take a look at it :)

[Fish & Destroy]

Althoough it has simple controls,the game is quite addictive as the concept is similar to that of those arcade space shooters except that this has improved visual quality and different elements and medals to provide some challenge.However,there are a few areas that need improvements.There needs to be an ammo meter or some way to hhow the number of bullets.It can be a big problem as players would not count the number of fishes eaten and this can lead to annoying situations like when bomb fishes appear or many enemies appearing at once,only to find out that there is no ammo left.Another problem is that bomber fishes appear anywhere in the screen without any warning,sometimes behind or on the player's character,maybe arrows should be added at the top of the screen to point out where they are going to drop.More types of prey and predators like octopuses could be added to add more variety to the game.Anyway,this one great game to kill some time,so good work.

Bandana-Crew responds:

Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback, mate! We appreciate your kind words! About the ammo meter..we'd probably made it hard to notice (it's up on the menu, right after the sign of a fishbone). The numbers after the sign means how much bullets you have left. And the light that appears just before the bomb fish drops is only a warning (it doesn't hurt you). Thank you very much again for sharing your thoughts! It means a lot!

[Maximum Frustration 2]

Beware,this game is a real killer in disguise.Once you look past its simple design and tutoria,things will turn really ugly.Your alertness and sanity will be put to the test with the maddening challenges but it can get pretty easy once every safe spot and trap are memorised.However,this game may not suit the following people due to its 'content'.
(1)People with anger management issues or easily lose their patience.(Staring at the 'YOU DIED' menu appear repeatedly may trigger this symptom.)
(2)Trollophobics(Who likes to see that troll face anyway?For those who do,Level 13 is just for you!In fact,you get to see him or it up close,covering like three quarters of the screen,blocking the character's view,as if watching the player with that troll-ish grin,ahh,who can forget that face?)Tip:Avoid question marks.
(3)People who do not like platformers(Well,it is obvious unless they have second thoughts and play it.)
This game may make people want to shout and scream not in joy but frustration,just remember the reason behind the title of the game and do not take the increasing number of failures and game seriously and let them con-troll you.Just quit if it seems too difficult.

Zapxo responds:

AVOID QUESTION MARKS? AVOOIID THEM? Good tip, but no can do. *evil grin*

[Minimen Live]

This is one fine addition to Newgrounds with winning substance although it can be a little shocking to see it getting a score lower than it really deserves as clearly a lot of effort and time has been put into it.Sure,it may not be perfect but hey,if this game is this awesome in its beta version,just think how will this game turn out with more updates and stuff added in future?(If the creators continue to develop it,that is.)Hope for more surprises until then.

(Note:The skins and hats could use some funny descriptions.)

GameTwoThree responds:

We will definitely continue developing it, thanks for the uplifting feedback. :)

We hope the ratings will rise now that we got a bit more players and gameplay is more smooth without a lot of waiting. :)

[Mo' Mentum.]

This game is challenging with different obstacle courses for the character to survive along with very limited health.
However, the health makes it a little too difficult,three hearts are just too little if there is no way to recover them and to make it worse,boulders that cause one heart to be lost per hit,no matter how small it is.It is either that there are more hearts to start with,some way for the character to recover,smaller damage(a health bar would be better to show this),a better way for the character to attack the skeletons and possible,kill that hideous bunny in mutated form by running into them or something.In mutated form which also runs out quicly could enable the character to be invincible against damage(but then,in this game,the levels are randomly generated,so a luckier player will find more orbs to stay in mutated form.)
Anyway,this game is not bad although its visual quality could be slightly better.

0Hayes responds:

Hey I've been finding it difficult myself too, we've just added so many obstacles over the last few days they its got pretty hard. So after the comments we have received were going to be adding heart pickups in game. Thanks loads and stick around for the update as it should fix the difficulty problems,
Cheers
