HighDefinition's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dotnoid v1.0]

catchy

catchy title for a game, crisp concept that gleems with originality.. music is alryt - can't expect too much.. mebbe' some sound effects next time. More levels with different puzzles & tactics would be beneficial. Could make the visuals look more appealing.. textured graphics, etc. And more eye candy is always good - but not to the extent where it gives us audience members a seizure. Overall, nice simple piece of creation (& addictive)

[Avoid]

misleadingly fun!

i get the idea that this submission was meant to be simple and plain with a small file size.. it's a nice fresh concept though.. that would be favourably appealing with the addition of levels with different playing conditions, etc. sound effects would wake up the audience as well. Neat piece of work nevertheless :-)

C360 responds:

Great ideas. And thanks. A lot of people been suggesting things similar, now its time to put those ideas to work and make a new version.

[MoonPatrol]

small & neat..

nice economic file size for the game. music tempo is up-tempo & appropriate... i like the style with the colours, looks like a pretty original concept. The controls are simple too and convenient. Might wanna animate an explosion in the craters or something - nice work though

[dress a snow man]

a fun, enjoyable dressup :-)

great lookin' background you got there.. 'foilage' painting styles heh nicee, i'm soo lovin' the chipmunks in the music background ahaha good stuff there.. but in all seriousness it's a good 'fun' music track that projects a pleasent atmosphere, maybe loop the track next time ? it got a bit quiet without it.. heh nice accessories with the snowman, but it's a bit plain and ordinary. you need some more funny accessories, see the cigarette and jamaican hat were good..well if you want to improve it that is.. but i suggest that you move onto another project.. dressup simulator genre's these days are obsoleet.. nice work though

thnks for the advice

[Fire Fields]

fresh new style & concept, and enjoyable play!

wow.. what a rush.. heh nice pong game simulator you have happenin' here, pretty intense action like you said ;-) very different; fresh new gameplay concept... i guess that's what made it more exciting and enjoyable to play - lovin' the space style and theme you brought to it.. with the lazers, powerups and barriers, the variety was pretty impressive too.. funky background music in the main menu - made it a temptation to hit 'play' ha.. lovin' the action scripting, the kinetics are fair, and reasonable and the controls are quickly responsive, also i like how this game can support a 2 player battle, that was just a bonus to an nice and great flash game creation... awesome flash, awesome job mann

[Delouse Saddam: Mini Game]

loving this concept... nice game, funny parody ha

wow congratulations, you have managed to create a very addictive game ;-) hehe.. i like the whole general concept of it, it's very fresh content and it's nice to see a game making a parody about saddam's capture and sanitary measures ahah.. i like the whole idea about using an actual picture of saddam and zooming it in where the 'gameplay' takes place.. also loving the challene, and unpredictable movements of the lice, like how it just appears from a random spot and disappears in another random spot, instead of just travelling predictably from one side of the screen to another..so nice script work on that! sound effects of the lice burning was an enjoyable addition, as well as the up-beat and tempo. music in the background... sound is good stuff in a game, good job on that... the interactivity is smooth, and the controls are responsive..well what can i say, great flash, great job

Ranxx responds:

Thanks so much for the review. It's ppl like you that keep conceptual artists submitting here. A lot of NG ppl only write a review when they have some hate to spread. Thanks again!

[J3nnica Dress Up]

nice dressing simulator - great detail

very nice variety and availibility of accessories you feature, i must say.. heh some of them were funny like the 'i love format' printing... nice to see you made a loop out of 'j3nnicas' eyes blinking.. some non-lazy work right there... the drawings, accessories , and backgrounds were drawn were drawn well and in great detail - good job on that! i like the whole thing with the animated flaming fireplace in one of the backgrounds you made, perhaps more backgrounds could be animated in someway, it serves as good eye candy.. the clothing accessories move smoothly when you select it with the mouse, so it works well there... well if your looking for suggestions... maybe making a 'reset' button is an idea, because along the way your going to mess the clothing accessories around when you try on different garments and put them back etc.. oh, and maybe some background music wouldn't hurt, it's a bit quiet.. but overall nice work, and good job :-)

Mopsicle responds:

I'm no musican. This game has been like this for weeks without music so in the end I dropped the whole idea. If someone wants to make me some background music, be my guest. The reset button was one of my ideas but in the end I just couldn't cope with this being left alone in the dark. Thanks for the positive feedback, I really appriciate something other than 'she's ugly' or 'dress ups suck'

At the moment I'd rather just pretend this never happened, I'm not proud of the end result and I spent way too long on this in the first place! I think it's time that I moved onto another project

[The Dungeon]

nice game, even though i cheated ;-)

nice economical file size! it took me a while to figuire out that you actually had to use the mouse, and you were not actually controlling a 'mouse' .. i kept pressing the arrow keys haha.... this game is totally not so fun when your mouse ball is screwed.. but yeah the idea is there, nice originality... as you said in your comments, still needs a beginning - but good luck on that eh! The preloader looked smooth, and promising.. but ya'the enemy objects could be more visually enhanced.. like better graphics, style, sound effects.. i know it's a demo, but maybe you can incorporate the idea into the proper, polished version :-) aside from that, and the additional levels that your already working on... nice game you have happenin' here :-)

[Classic Video Poker]

classicly addictive.. nice

a carbon copy of the original... a well polished project indeed, just as addictive... i like the feature how it instantaneously alerts you when you have matching pairs or suits etc.. makes you stress less and enjoy the experience more ha.. but what would be cool is if you electronically showed a picture of the cards being shuffled and see the 5 cards being handed out... of course it wouldn't be like the exact original, think of it as modified... now there's an idea... the sound effects were good, maybe add like a sound of a casino crowd in the background, and like the sound of money coins being inserted for an addition of increased realism.. but overall nice work

XSDSX responds:

Those are some good ideas. I may try implementing them some time. Thanks a lot for the review.

[Dog Hunt]

nice, but needs a bit of work

wow.. bugs galore! the sound effects seemed to stop functioning in 'skill mode', maybe fix that.. yea and what was up with that dog sound ? ha.. yea need more sound effects, like the dog yelping after suffering a bullet wound, or a sickening crack when muscle tendons, and bone is pierced.. the drawings, and shooting environment was alright.. i liked the idea of skill mode & how the dog moved around. but the violence needs more detail and work.. like if you shoot him in the arms, the arms need to be damaged.. like a flesh wound, blood patch... etc.. but nice attempt of a simulator

smurfarita responds:

....yeah i probally should have mentioned I'm still ironing things out. I'll probally post a new version sometime after finals week. :) heh and I so like the yelping idea.
