madjemas03's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cab In The Woods]

> Very poor simplistic sprites and animation, yet conveys their subject. Just too weak. 2/10
How to improve: Better sprites, closer view to allow for better detailing, extra details on road and such, possibly weather effect and wrecks/stones etc.
> Very simplistic coding and functions. Nothing really new/interesting/complex. Has a feel of a copy-paste game.1/10
Adding functions, driving effects (e.g. acceleration), giving interactive objects (e.g. barrels to burst into) would make the game more interesting.
> Very simplistic, poor storyline. 1/10
The storyline is childish at best, poor and too simplistic. While I understand sometime designers want to give either storyline or gameplay, this game failed at both.
> Very poor gameplay and control quality. 1/10
The car animation and handling, while simplistic, was simply poor. Many functions would be welcome
> Music: X
The reason I am not voting on the music is that, on its own, the music is actually good, and while fitting, still feels unnecessary and to be better on another game.

Overall: 1/5
Do note that this is for your own benefit, as I believe there is genuine capacity here - just not enough planning and effort. Try again, and good luck. Not the best way to get on the front page guys :\

cheers for the review :D
1>Sprites were done with a mouse, we are not artists :D sorry bout that.
2>The game has a feel of copy paste because it was done with 1 tile engine in 48 hours, if we had the time, we would diversify a lot more, but we were caught for time massively.
3>We were going for simple.
4>can i get a guide by which you gauged the game-play ? it would be handy for future projects? if you just pulled 1/10 out of the air, cheers for that.
5>Cheers, we like the music too :D

Again, thanks for the review, feed back is one of the most important things when making games :D

[Flash Necessities Tutoral]

Brilliant

While it had only simple informations gven, they were given in a direct and easy to understand manners.
Well done. Fully deserving a 9/10 and 5/5.

Jaye19 responds:

Yeah I really made sure to put the information as simply as I can to be easy to understand and thanks for reviewing :)

[StarCraft Demo (2003)]

It's a demo.

Considering the features showed in the demo, it shows me one thing: The game's functionality, quality and smoothness will be at rendez-vous.
Thus, I give you a 9, as this game is:
fully functional
A demo, or WIP to show the things to be expected in demo
Smooth
Has a descent art quality.

MFouche responds:

Wow, you just got the high score!

Thx for the review.

[MayDay]

Quite good. Perhaps too easy

It's fun, but too easy. The art and animation is good. I believe you deserve the 9/10.

barthdesade responds:

Thank you - it is very nice to get such a high score. About the difficulty level - did you managed to finish that game? To tell you the truth I never did :).

[Mecha 1.0]

some work needed

'givin' you 8 for the principle, as that game is quite close to perfection. the only things you need is:
gameplay: make the mechs move faster, allow doging (that means bullet sprites for all weapons) and give more type of weps. and tools.
lower robot health or increase firepower. people HATE to stay on a chair watching bullets move for half an hour
art/graphics: try to look at mechas art in google, it should get you started. mechas would surrely go on tracks, but NOT on thrusters.
sound: a tick you could do is remove sound at first, put all the game ad-ons and do the sounds at last. screw the music, it takes a lot of work and memory, work moar on the graphics, it's much more important.

i saw that it is your "1.0" version, so i expect you will add improvement, and am looking towards it.

good luck, even though you might not need it. you've got the skills required, and maybe the gas too :))
