ProfessorFlash's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nymphiad]

Nice platformer with good looking graphics. I found the keyboard controls little awkward but luckily I did have my gamepad close by. The game turned out to be deceptively difficult. I already got stuck at like level 4 or 5 (not sure since they arent numbered). Good job nonetheless.

Wolod responds:

Thanks for playing! I'm going to record a video playthrough and add link into the description.

[Postman David]

bugged

The game just keeps restarting itself as soon as the level 1 starts, it throws me back at the main menu.

JeffersonTD responds:

That's unfortunate. Sorry for that.

I try to reproduce the bug so I could fix it, but in the meanwhile just try starting the flash again. I think that should let you avoid the problem, and let you play the game, since I believe the bug itself happens very seldomly.

bad controls

A/D to move and Space to jump? What are you gingers, some monkey fingers? Make controls that normal people can use.

Freshpine99 responds:

A) I'm not Ginger.
B) I (and many people) find these controls alright. You must be retarded in some way or another.

[Pub Snooker]

good

Very good snooker game. Only thing that could be improved is that the resolution could be higher so I can see the angles better cuz sometimes I mess up dead-easy shots because of not having enough precision to see the angle.

NipponMonkey responds:

Thanks for the good review. Yeah, it's difficult to get the precision right, but you can see that once you master it, it's not too hard. If you click on the Recent Best Breaks button, you'll see breaks (points without missing) around the 100 mark and more.

[Pony Platform Game (Engine Test)]

okey

Unrealistic mission right off the bat. If you watched the show, you know that nopony gives a fuck about spike and nopony would go get him gems cuz he is "feeling the munchies".

infinitydash responds:

Thanks for the review. The "mission" is kinda supposed to be a joke, though. I fully realize that no one in the show would actually do that for Spike. (Well Pinkie Pie might, she probably would understand having the munchies pretty well and would be able to sympathize) :D

[Balls 2D]

alright

It's a well made game and the graphics are smooth. But you made the most annoying thing in these games twice as annoying. I'm talking about hitting the last few bricks. In your game the bricks follow physics, so they don't drop through other bricks or get destroyed, they stand on top of other bricks. So when you get 3 bricks stacked, I'm constantly hitting them from above and since the top brick is loose already it makes no difference if I hit it billion times. Now I need to try to hit it from below, and well, like I said, twice as annoying.

ProjectNatalie responds:

Yep, there is some thing!
But as I tried to comply with the physics laws, I decided to leave everything as is.
If you'll hit from top, a stone lying on the ground, he did not fall through the ground.
And yet, it looks pretty cool, when you knock the last brick, and whole stack of bricks is falling on you! =)

Thanks for your thoughts!

[Go 2]

bad

Yellow text on a white background? I couldn't read any of it. I was able to make out "Start X" and I pressed X and then the screen is completely white. I tried the game twice with same results. With so major bugs and really dumb choice of colors can't really give a good score.

fushitaka responds:

How did you get a white background? It is a black background for certain. I would suggest looking into your version of flash player or internet browser.

[Mahjong Kingdoms]

this isn't mahjong

You are playing match a pair game. This game has nothing to do with mahjong. The creator just stole the mahjong tiles because they look better than square/triangle/ball/whatever.

leekgames responds:

Look online for mahjong and you will see that most games with that name are of the 'solitaire' type.

The tiles are definitely not stolen, I assure you! (: They were specifically created for this game and they are based on the original (and classic) mahjong tiles.

Have a great day!

[Vexation]

okay

Quite simple graphics but I personally don't mind them if the gameplay is good and it is alright in this game. One thing that annoyed me greatly was your description of the orange block, "opposite of the purple block". The purple block starts slowly falling down when you touch it, what is opposite of that? Thats right, slowly falling upwards when you touch it. Opposite is not a freaking bounce pad that launches you like a rocket.
I was proud of my zero deaths record up until that level and then I felt cheated because of the crappy instruction. Well its not like it was much of an achievement as the levels were easy before that, but still you might want to avoid pissing off your players as much as you can.

AmazingAdam4 responds:

Alright point taken. But from a comment I saw on Kongregate, some guy found that hilarious, which was the aim. I'd have laughed. Thank you for playing anyway and sorry I'll be more careful next time on the instructions.

[DuoBlaster]

meh

The background is moving way too fast. It's making me dizzy. If you can overcome that then it seems like a well made game but I can't play it like this.

Xplored responds:

Thanks for your comment. We properly tried to give the speed sensation while playing.
