ProfessorFlash's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Oddro]

okay

The graphics are alright but you obviously didn't have large enough 'space background' image because you can see where the space ends and just plain white stuff begins at the top and lightblue stuff at the bottom at certain parts of the maze. That looks quite unfinished.
The music was good and fitting to the game.
But I only got one question; what the hell keeps killing me? I'm flying on space with no objects nearby and suddenly I explode. Is there a timelimit or what the hell? Suddenly dying with no explanation didn't leave me happy.

[Tentacle Wars]

nice

It's a good game. Graphics are nice and clean. Some of the levels were challenging, maybe bit too challenging at first because your instructions are lacking. I wish I had known a lot earlier it actually matters at what point you cut the tentacle, and that it gives a quick surge of points.

Level 19 was quite challenging and it took me many tries to beat that level but I enjoyed the challenge. I was looking forward to playing the final level, lvl 20, after having a struggle with lvl 19 but it proved out to be a big disappointment. I don't know why you threw in a tutorial-scale level as the last level. It practically played itself and there was no need for any thinking or quick moves.

You kinda botched it with the first impressions (lack of proper instructions) and last impression (super easy last level), but at least everything else was good. I enjoyed playing it but the bitterness of the last level still lingers in my mouth...

excellent

Excellent idea for a game. This is like a breath of fresh air to the platformer games. The graphics look good. The music is very good and fits well to the game. Overall maybe bit on the easy side but there were some challenging levels and trying to beat the times does add more challenge but on my first run by I was more interested in completing the levels. I enjoyed this game very much. Good job.

[Super Mario BP Oil Spill]

good idea

You get 5 roflmao points for the game idea and execution but the actual gameplay only gets 2 points because it's very repetitive. Once the smile fades out of your face it's quite boring game.

[GhostTank2]

okay

The game is alright but it needs more stuff. I think it's too linear. It would be more fun if there was more upgrades and special abilities. It could also have a bit bigger playing area that you could explore. And the enemies appearing out of thin air was weird. The turrets should instead be stationary and moving enemies should move on to the game screen.
Instead of "50 challenging levels" you should have like 10 bigger and better quality levels because I don't think many will play this for 50 levels. It's a bit too repetitive.
If you make a third edition, consider what I said. It could be a good game but right now it's lacking.

interesting

Not the best made game but the game idea is funny. It was surprisingly fun to play.

[Action Joe]

okay

Nice looking graphics. Didn't spot any bugs. But the game ain't perfect. Those things that end your toss spawn way too often. I'm having constantly my flight ended by either some weird green umbrella, green alien or spikeball. So I'm making like 200 gold per flight which makes saving up for the upgrades painfully slow seeing as your price pool starts from 5k and goes all the way to 40k. And this isn't bad luck from my part, 9/10 of my flights ended really quickly to a game-ender-object.

And the screaming sound is really annoying, especially when it's so frequent. Not sure how you could have left that in the game. I guess when you were testing your game you had sounds off? :P

It could be a good Toss the turtle copy. I mean I don't mind if a game copies something else as long as it's fun to play, but the problems mentioned above really cut the fun factor by a lot.

[Hex Battles]

too random

Got to agree with papaonn, way too random. These kind of games rely on some random factor, but I feel that I just get boned too often in this game. I even lost a 4-1 match, what are the odds of that? And what's up with the neutral places? I had two 10/10 and one 9/10 troops go against a 10/10 neutral rock, and I got the neutral down to 8/10 but my troops went to 1/10 (losing massively against them I guess?). Are they some super unit or I got very unlucky?

Played the "tribal wars" mission for about 10 minutes, it was a massive stalemate as we both had half of the map. And that leads to my next point; why can't I transfer my troops from one area to another? The stalemate was caused because this feature is missing. We both had our units in the back gaining strength and when you got close to them, they instantly drive you back and it becomes a back and forth that never ends. I quit the game seeing as the stalemate just kept going on.

As the game type is nothing new, I got to compare it to other alike games and in that race this one falls short. It's average at best.

[Radical Fishing]

terrible first impression

There is a limit for how long early game advertisements I can take, and with the longest time I've ever seen in a game (20 seconds), you went over that limit. Greed is not good. I'm not going to click the ad even if you show it for 24 hours so making it very long like 20 seconds is really bad. Only thing I'm clicking is to close the game.

People may think I'm nitpicking about seconds but you need to make a stand somewhere else soon there will be 30 second ads, then 60 seconds, and where does it stop? Stop it now and here.

[Nimball: Rewind]

not bad

Good clean graphics and it's a good game idea but I found the rewind to be pretty awkward.
When you rewind to a point, it repeats your actions that you were doing at that point. Meaning if I rewind to a point just when I was about to jump, the ball does the jump and I'm in the 'lava' (or whatever) once again and have to rewind again, and again same thing happens, lol.
I found that to be quite annoying. I wish that it would just stop all actions at the rewind point because right now the rewind is just making me watch my failures like 3-4 times in a row, lol :).

But I guess the rewind feature is needed only when you fail, and not failing is the goal of the game so I suppose it's still a pretty good game overall.
