Justinian's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Iron Wrath]

Not the worst game...

...But this definitely needs work. Think of upping the contrast for the background, it's a little harder to see some enemies than if it were dark gray for example. You'd also be pretty surprised how far good sound design goes. If you had a cooler sound for the tank firing its weapon this game would already be more fun than it is. I think this is a sincere try at a good game. Good luck!

[Kazoo!]

I hate to say this

But I love guessing games.
It would a lot of hard work, but if you somehow made an animal guessing game then you'd pretty much be the master of the universe in my opinion. But I know how much time that would involve.

In the meantime, this was a fun game with no real flaws.
I might say adding a few more things to make it feel more like a game (like winning and losing, and fun ADD buttons)...but I honestly don't feel any of those things are truly necessary.

uglyslug responds:

I think I love you.

What do you mean by "An animal guessing game"? Please explain.

Thanks for the the wonderful review!

[Lamb Chop Drop]

Needs work.

I like this game because it is pretty polished, but I feel it would be a lot more fun if the sheep move faster on the screen. This way you might also incorporate enemies, because right now it isn't much of a challenge.

kokodigital responds:

A very honest review here which we very much appreciate so thanks, with regards to the use of enemies, we did toy with the idea of having something like that but decided that due to the nature of the game and who it is for, we wanted to try and stay away from any negatives on the game.

We did try our best to comprimise with the inclusion of useful and not-so-useful bonus items. When Lamb Chop shrinks, getting the stars is more difficult. The same is true when he rotates 180 degrees and the controls are reversed.

Maybe next time we will have some enemies in the game but just for this one, we wanted to keep everything very cheery and positive. Once again thanks a million for your comments Justinian, we really do appreciate them and I hope that the lack of baddies does not put you off too much.

Thanks, The Koko Team

My problem with this

I really like the idea, and from what I saw the artwork behind this is good but therein lies the problem because I couldn't actually see anything. I realize that the point of this game may be that, in order to take from it you have to release yourself from worry over the visuals, but I found myself instead squinting over it all. If you changed the colors so that you could see more of what you're doing then I think this game might be a lot more rewarding. Right now I find it a little frustrating.

[HotLap]

Almost...

This game looks good, and the mechanics are pretty decent as well but I think sound is very important. Adding good sound and or music I think is really important. That said there isn't much of a game here, 10 laps is a lot to tackle with just one car. If you had an opponent, then maybe...but I'd still shave it down to just 5 laps. I didn't finish my 10 laps so I'm not sure if there are other tracks, I hope there are.

GyroSpazer responds:

Thanks it will be better when its done.

[tato plato!]

I like!

OMG sounds from Abuse.
That takes me back.

[Shapes in Space]

Put it back in the oven.

I really like that the laser overheated if you used it too much, which I think drops some of the 'mindless shooter' elements from it. I don't have any problem with the ships being simple shapes. But this game really does need sound, badly. I don't think it's fair to have such cool looking graphics and leaves us deaf to what has to be cool sounding...sounds.

[Goblins Heart]

Could improve.

I liked this game a lot. Sound graphics and sound design. But it's as if your hero is fighting with a stick and not a sword. It took too long to kill the goblins and wasn't particularily satisfying when you did. I might make the goblin's death more dramatic or simply easier to accomplish.

MasterFury responds:

did you only play the first level?
you can buy new swords.

you need to play more of the game befor you make stupid reviews.

[Flying String Defense]

Familiar style

What I liked most about this game was the style reminded me of this music video I saw once. If you go onto YouTube and look up "Bathtime in Clerkenwell" then you'll find it. The styles are pretty much exactly the same. Were you inspired by them, by any chance?
It's probably a very broad style, but still...

The game itself isn't particularly fun, but that's OK.

[Political Duel]

Rip off

This is basically World Domination Battle, except without the political satire, less characters, and without the amazing visuals. The gameplay is okay but it's no redeeming factor here.

freeworldgroup responds:

thanks, but this was made and shown on the web well before world domination battle...
