ProfessorFlash's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rocket-Man]

fun for two minutes

Good game idea. I enjoyed playing it on the 'easy' level. Playing with the 'medium' level seems a bit pointless. It just makes a little bit harder but you gain nothing from it :P. So the two modes worth playing are easy and hard. And 'hard' is too hard. After seeing the rocket explode 10 times just infront of the guy, you get frustrated. It's no longer fun. And all the extra stuff is unlocked only after beating hard, so that's that :P. You should have thrown out some bones for people who beat it in easy and medium.

Since you can beat the game in couple of minutes in the 'easy' mode, this game ends up being fun-for-two-minutes type of game. Nice try, but no cigar.

good

I remember testing this when you posted it on the BBS. Nice to see that you finally got it ready.

Few improvements, first of all the keys were still a bit hard to pick up. You had to 'wiggle' on top of the key until he finally picked it up. Also the music was at places a bit 'meh' :P. I would have preferred to have an option to turn it off.

Overall this was a good mouse avoider game. Good job.

[Cursor Quest]

okay

The enemies made no sense. The obvious ones were the spikeball and the question mark, but pretty much everything else made no sense. Half of the time I didn't know why I was getting hurt, or how could I defeat the enemies. Good example the bomb in the cave levels, what's up with that?

It was alright game, but it seems like you made it for yourself. You need to explain us newbies what the hell is happening on the screen :P.

blue-mess responds:

Haha. The idea was that you collect the spiritual orbs in one level to progress into the next level of the stage. Most of the enemies are simply there for you to dodge, rather than to kill. The whole thing about the bomb was that you diffuse it before it explodes

Ok, next time I'll try and make the objective more clear. In actual fact I really just made it to see how polished I could make something ;) Thanks for the review

Doesnt work

At the menu the game freezes. I get the error message that a script is making flash player run slow and do I want to abort the script. After that the game doesn't work. The menu buttons do nothing.

Test your games before submitting. Dumbass.

RowlandRose responds:

Thank you for the feedback, even if a little harsh. I have tested this game and I have never had this happen. I will try to figure out why that would happen to you.

[Postal Panic]

Excellent!

Great game! The story was interesting and the characters were unique. Very well told story I must say. It kept me wanting to play and find out what's going to happen next.

The graphics were excellent aswell. The enemies were unique and each provided their own type of challenge.

I'll definately be getting back to play the survival mode. I have no complaints for this game at all, perfectly made. Very good job.

too easy

That was extremely boring. It was way too easy. I got up to 60k points until I decided that this was really pointless. I played that long as I waited *something* to happen. Nothing happened, the same bouncing all the time. And the game didn't even get harder. The speed increase was very slow. The game just kept being easy and boring. Add some challenge to this. I almost fell asleep.

[Cavern Dodger]

okay

Not the worst helicopter game copy that I've seen. The manuvering was pretty easy. The game could get harder a lot faster than what it does now.

I got about 12 000 points. You should have also added a highscores system.

[Advansnake]

okay

It was a good/okay snake game. Nothing spectacular about it.

One complaint though, your hit tests. With what part of the snakes head you need to hit the 'ball'? Between the eyes? Many many times I've missed the ball eventhough visibly the snakes head did touch the ball. That causes me to run out of time and lose the multiplier bonus. That's not fun :P.

[Serpentum]

well

The game looked good. The music was alright too. Gameplay was a bit confusing. The game didn't last very long and there was little to none skill involved. It all seemed a bit random.

Also what's the point in submitting your score to a highscores list when you never get to see the list? So you don't know if your score was good or bad. There's no link to the highscores list. Play more games, only opens the uberfungames site, and I didn't find the list anywhere there either.

LesPaulPlayer responds:

Im sorry about the scores. For some strange reason, the scores don't work on newgrounds. You'll have to play on uberfungames.com if you want to submit scores until i figure this out.

[Beat the Boss]

....

Well that was lame. You get a score and it ask if you want to submit your score. You press it, and it says "only at mortar games". Lame, that's all I got to say, lame.
