TheSoulMan's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blockhead Soundboard]

Good soundboard!

Well, this a good soundboard, better than the average. Complete, with lots of jokes and voices, but I still see some flaws, so I'll try to help the best I can:

Mmmh, have you got Flash 8? Why not using filters, and that cool stuff for the fonts, or the buttons? Making them look cooler would improve a lot the image of the flash. Just yellow circles...isn't enough. It's not bad, I mean, at least you can see everything properly, but can be better.

However, I liked pretty much the backgrounds you used, and marking which sentences were long, which were short, was a nice detail.

Good job!

wizardman responds:

Unfortunately, I don't have Flash 8. I might as well just wait until flash 9 and get the student discount upgrade on that. It'd be cool to spice the buttons up, yeah, but I didn't want to make the gradient mistake like last time *shudder*. I used the yellow circles to symbolize Blockhead's head basically.
Thanks for the review.

[ICDMS: revamped]

Once again, good!

I liked this quite a lot.

The intro is cool, I loved that.
There is much more stuff now, not enough variated yet, but it's still a improvement.
The eyes are very cool in this one, I liked that. The character design was still cool.

Great music! I've always wondered what was its name...

The filesize is a bit smaller now, good.

Well, you know what to do, just add more random stuff, only that, and this will be really great.

Good job!

Ramirezoid responds:

Thanks for being a fan.

[LethalRpgWar 2]

k

Ok, I see LOTS of potential here, I mean a HUGE amount of programming skill, I just see some flaws, which are pretty easy to solve, at least in my opinion, so here they are, some tips to you.

You need to improve the artwork and animation stuff. A lot. This game would get top scores if the graphics were improved. Haven't you thought about improving your drawing skills, or, if you feel too lazy or unable to improve that, get an experienced artist? Seriously, there is a big lack of art here, and it's a pity this couldn't make to the top 50,or simply get better scores, just because of that, a better design. It's not THAT BAD, but there is room for improvement.

Also, background music in the cities, that would help a lot, and getting some other music for fights, appart from the one you used, which is not bad, anyway. But some variety would be appreciated.

Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about this! The programming is great, and the game is complete and entretaining, I just think it's not very visually attractive after a while. But you'll think about it, right? :P

Well, I must say, overall great work! Looking foward more!

Benspyda responds:

yes the next will have much needed improved graphics

[MiqiBo]

Simple, but fun!

Easy as that. The graphics, far to be really difficult, are very simple, good for that. That makes the game, at a first view, rather easy. Big mistake, soon it becomes a hell while you look for the correct shapes to mark. The style is pretty cool, and the music fitted with it. Relaxed stuff for a difficult game, good choice.

I must say I liked this very much because of the simplicity of the gameplay, mixed with the high difficulty.

Great job! Looking foward more!

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

Thanks!

I'd actually like to jazz up the graphics slightly, with different 'skins' and some paper textures and stuff.

Glad you enjoyed it.

More will definitely come!

Thanks for the review.

Stay funky,

[Jim Raynor Soundboard]

Mmmmh...right.

Good soundboard! Complete and entretaining...but there's a problem...the graphics...come on, the buttons are a bit weak, you can do better than that. Anyway, good job!

wizardman responds:

Yeah, th butons looked pretty good when I put them on Flash itself. Watching it now, they look awful... I won't do buttons like that again. Thanks for the review, at least you liked the rest of it.

[¡ can dress myself II]

Well done!

I don't really like dress-up games, but this was good. The graphics were well drawn, and the music was pretty good. Amusing, I must say. Maybe add more stuff for the next one.

Ramirezoid responds:

more stuff for each one, man. part 10 will have the hell compressed out of it.

[Anchor Ball]

Good game!

Well, graphics and animation, what to say? It's great. The sound, although is great, turns annoying after the second stage. I liked the way you have to control the timing to hit the ball with the anchor, that makes the game challenging.

Well done!

TrueDarkness responds:

Thanks a lot for the review =D.
You can turn the sound off by right clicking and toggling it off.
Glad you liked it! =)

[The NG Study Buddy]

Wow! Really original!

Very well done dude! NG-style, good music, and an original ... well, it's not really a game, but..wow, it's good!

This solves my lack of study and the time I waste in NG :D

Moosh responds:

Thank you :)

I hope it does help alittle for your lack of study lol :D

[space bombing run fixed]

Really good!

A good spaceship game! The graphics are pretty good, there's nothing to complain about them. There is a big lack of sound, though, add some background music for the next one, and it'll be much better.

About the interactivity there's much to talk: The game itself is really good, several poweups, no bugs, highscore table, a good amount of enemies... BUT it's all about the controls. They are too difficult. Without practice it's almost impossible to catch the powerups. If you fixed that, I think this game would have raised half a point in the score, maybe more.

Anyway, the effort is obvious, and altough the controls make a "not entirely perfect game" out of it, it's a really good job! I'm really looking foward your next games, they are truly promising!

Good job!

caboos1 responds:

ya
it was hard finding sound to go with it and the music nothing fit

[Fairy Fountain Shoot Out]

poor effort.

Nah, the fairies weren't annoying, it was just Navi with all the HEY, LISTEN, HEY!. A fairy in a bottle were one of the most useful things in every Zelda, it saved you hours of repeating the same you have achieved until a bad mistake or a badass battle. And big Faries gave you more life, magical power, and cool stuff, specially in OOT with the Gods' Powers.

Anyway, this game is poor, no blood, bad sound, nothing. Just a bunch of fairies and a score counter. Nah.

enigma responds:

you are poor, no blood, bad sound, nothing. Just a 40 year old loser spending his time on the interweb
