Omgee's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Elf Tetris]

ok...

Well, it's a Tetris clone. It's playable, and it's fine. But, it's nothing special. The world has 3287231507 Tetris clones, and this adds nothing new to the scene -- although I did like the bunny. Backgrounds would have helped a lot, though, maybe even ones that change with the levels. Also, sound is essential... really essential.

I'd also like to see a spacebar "drop" feature, so I don't have to keep pushing the down arrow once I've lined up my piece.

It's not bad, but there's a lot of room for improvement. Hope you work on it some more. Better yet, use your graphics and programming skills to make something new and different!

[Oddball Soccer]

okay...

Very glitchy. I was able to stand in the goal and hold the space bar and score goal after goal after goal without moving.

Also, only two players on each team = somewhat dull. Sounds were unimaginative... where's the crowd cheering or the sound of the ball being kicked? Graphics were pretty flat and boring too.

Sorry, but this needs a lot of work. It's a good start, though. Now you have to iron out the details.

boney-man responds:

Well, I know it's glitchy. That's why I might make a sequel. And, the song was by me, I'm not THAT good at making music. But it's the best I ever made.

[rS Tower Defence VER3]

Improved, but...

This is definitely an improvement! I understand the whole sound thing; not a big deal, since I listen to music when I play this anyways. But, there are a couple of things still that I'd love to see you look at:

1. Keyboard shortcuts! It'd be awesome to be able to push (1) through (5) to select the towers, and so on, instead of clicking endlessly. You could denote which key goes with which tower with a tiny number in the corner of the tower's button. The actual placement of the tower would still be done by mouse, of course, but that would cut down on a lot of the back-and-forth stuff.

2. A couple of other people have mentioned a "skip to next wave" option. I agree. I'd love to be able to nail the space bar once I'm done setting up my towers for the next wave, so I wouldn't have to sit there drooling and waiting.

3. The storm tower is a little more powerful than 20 damage... it starts off at full power and won't take an upgrade. That made it easy, but took quite a bit of challenge out of the game.

I still really like this game a lot, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd spend just a little more time on it to make it perfect. Either way, you definitely have my 5.

[Turret Defense]

I like it a lot.

I like this game a lot. The combination between fast gameplay and strategy is awesome. I do have a couple of suggestions, though, if you're still interested in working on this game at all:

1. The difficulty change between level 1 and level 2 is astounding. I've played level 2 twenty times, and haven't been able to get past the first 30 seconds. I've read other people's reviews, and many of them mention the same problem. Level 3 was much easier, interestingly enough. Would you be willing to consider easing the curve a bit, so it won't be quite so frustrating?

2. I understand that it's not necessary to repeat level 1 upon losing. However, it'd be nice if you could make it automatically continue from level 2 if desired -- a "restart/continue game" switch is all it would take. That would make it easier to play that blasted level 2 over and over again, and would also make it easier on the people who don't bother to read the author comments and play level 1 over and over again.

3. There are numerous spelling errors in this game, but I think you've probably figured that out by now.

This is a great game, and it would be even better if you'd take a bit of time and fix it up a little.

I hope you'll at least think about it!

[Bounceicles]

okay, but...

The bouncicles were really cute, and I liked bouncing them around, but they really, really need to have some kind of sound to go with them. Otherwise, they border on boring.

Music with an on/off switch would be cool, too... but at least some kind of cute "boing" noise for them would be a start.

I voted to protect anyways.

[Newground$ Tutorial]

Not bad, but...

This is helpful, but probably unnecessary. It's unlikely that new folks will see this (or any of the other flashes that have been made that are like this one). Good thought, though.

It annoyed me that the music reset every time I went back to the main menu -- and that a click back to the main menu was required for each section. It would've been cool if the music could've kept going continuously through the flash, and if the various sections could have been clicked through directly instead of requiring me to start over for each section.

Like I said, good try.

HomerDough responds:

... if the various sections could have been clicked through directly instead of requiring me to start over for each section

you mean like a go to next subject button?

[World cup soccer!]

Nice!

Great game, layout and effects. I especially liked the ability to select teams (including the Newgrounds team... great idea!). The only problem I had was that it was just plain too easy to beat the computer. I'd love to see this redone with difficulty/speed levels... that would make this game more challenging and make it much more fun to play.

Otherwise, great work!

[Ultimate Lawn Care!]

Nice...

This was great fun... simple concept, good gameplay.

A couple of suggestions:

1. Sound...?

2. A more detailed background, or a background that changes with levels?

3. Levels!

4. Combo bonus for killing more than one green thing in a single shot!

... that's about all I can think of. With a little work, this would be perfect!

[Sonic Millionare]

hm.

Not bad, but it desperately needs sound. Without that, it's pretty boring.

Decent question variety, though.

[Dress-up Lex]

Nice!

Nice work! Your artwork looks great; you obviously spent a lot of time on this.

A little bit of sound would've helped, though. If not music in the background, at least a few little plips and plops when dropping the stuff on him... or something. I dunno, just something to give it more character. If you go with music, make sure you offer an option to turn it off, though!

Hmmmmmm what else. Oh! Sunglasses go *behind* hair. :) Otherwise, from what I could see, it looked like you lined things up the way they should go (shoes behind pants, armband over shirts, etc.).

I hope this passes, and I hope to see more of your work on NG!

SammyFox728 responds:

Thank you very much. You're the first to notice the sunglasses thing...lol...I was a little lazy I will admit. I will see about making more things...thanks
