Smackmud's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vector Drive]

Cool idea, kind of simplistic at this stage. Hard to aim projectiles...retical needs to be more intuitive.

UchihaKuriso responds:

I agree, gets easy with a few plays but yeah its hard to aim at first. There's a "crosshair" but it's still not easy right away. I can't pinpoint why. Could be the perspective.

[Game Of Life Simulation]

You need an explination of what's going on here.

It looks cool, but I have no idea what's being "simulated", so what's the point?

georgepowell responds:

I have added more info in the description.

[Mini-Game Collab]

Hmm....

10/5 for the idea and effort, but some of the games didn't seem to work, or were glitchy.

MrRandomist responds:

There fixed now, all fixed no problems anymore

[Blast Shield]

Great Bust-A-Move update!

One little gripe though. The music is too repetitive. Some full songs would be a lot better instead of a 3 second loop. Also, to wsamman, this game is simple enough that it would probably be a lot easier to remake the game from scratch then to decompile the original, port it over, and change the graphics.

shuurai2000 responds:

i was gonna get my gf to make a piece of song for me....but will the larger file size..be really annoying?Maybe I can stream it from some where.

[Mini Carrom Board]

Way too choppy.

I hate all these really choppy unplayable games that get submitted to the portal. There is no excuse for them. All you have to do is change the fps that the game runs at from 12 to something usefull like 30. There's a little box for it in flash. That's it. If it weren't for that, this would be a pretty fun little game. Please fix that and resubmit it.

Blamya responds:

Please play the resubmitted game. FPS=30!
If you find it still a really choppy, and unplayable game You can hate it !!!!!!!

[->- Skies of War -<-]

Excellent!

Great game! A few issues, the weapon menu when you click on the plane is very annoying until you figure out how to turn it off. Also, it's kinda hard to aim the land missles at smaller targets, as they tend to pass either to the left or the right of the intended target. But those are just minor quibbles...this game ROCKS! Also, to the previous reviewer, it's pretty easy to land...after you start the landing sequence, just make sure that your mouse is on the landing strip...your plane should land every time.

Youdagames responds:

If you have some problems aiming... the power of a bomb has a blast impact zone and harms the enemy vehicles and or buildings. Its the shockwave zone!

[The Supah Ship]

Simple fun little game.

Not really too much to say here...as a quick little time waster, it does it's job. Liked the particle effects on the ship, the cave itself could have used better colours or something. But it worked. Got up to 1663 myself...will probably beat that in short order. I wanted to submit my highscore, but the button didn't seem to do anything. Hope that gets implimented soon.

ZpankR responds:

Uh sorry, the submit button wasn't supposed to be there in this version of newgrounds. I'll remove it tomorrow. If you want to get some highscores, go see the link i gave in the Full description. Somehow ng screwed the link in the normal description.

[Osiris II]

Nice Game.

I agree with yamisilver though, there is something funky with the controls. It's not that they're not intuitive, that part isn't bad, but they're not smooth enough. Need's a simple physics engine to make the controls feel...right.

ChromeShark responds:

Thanks, I'll look into improving the physics for chapter III.

[Big BUDDHA]

Can't really improve on this too much....

...But if I'm not mistaken, I've played this game before under the title "Bejeweled". Still not a bad game, though.

canguk-SKTnSEOUL responds:

Yep! it is INDEED a spawn of bejeweled. Just a different theme to it. Thanx for the review!
