SquidBonk's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[old wink game thing]

An evolving piece I can definitely appreciate.

Wow, phenomenal. A game I'd definitely buy should it ever go to shelves. The music tensing up when he chokes them, slamming into the camera, burning, hiding. The graphics. so perfect. so absolutely perfect. The only downfall is the bugs and we're essentially the testers. I have no problem with that. In case you need to know, when I fell through the separating floor (just before the door with wind) I smacked a guy into the screen. The screen had a subtle shake from then on and immediately and continually propelled Wink to the right. I was pretty much stuck on the wall. If I tried to move left, he would move for about 2 seconds and then his placement would reset. I can't say enough how excited this game has me. (Also, if you have a guy in a chokehold and drag him up a slope, Wink will move up the hill but the choking guy won't.) I'd love to work on this kind of gaming project with such skilled folk. A suggestion if you were to put it in, is to make it so that any alerted enemy can see you if you're close and 'hiding'. otherwise, it's just too easy to escape. You could see them looking in all directions, into the background, etc.

gel responds:

Thanks, your review made my day.

I wish I had the tmie to stick everything in. If you made it to the end, you'll notice I never finished programming the boss even, so you can see there was just so much to do in very little time. I would continue on this game until it's finished, but also, I think that memory leak I have is incurable unless I convert it all over to AS 2.0, and by then, I will release a new version of this game with the moves and health system and power up system I have envisioned (including cool things like wearing the robes once you choke someone or burning the clothes to avoid suspicion). I'll still finish up the boss though!

Thanks again for the review, I am excited as well!

[Adventures in the jungle]

Awesome job!

I'm surprised this didn't get more than 4. I guess most of the newgrounders are before the days of Dragon's Lair. I went through this too see all of the animation. The alligator biting you is pure gold. Again, awesome job. I was thoroughly entertained :)

[Ray - Part 2]

Good job. There's a bug though

Nice game. The bug is when you have the choice of tying the dude's snowmobile up or taking him out. Both options only tie up the snowmobile and I haven't found a way yet to actually succeed at the mission, no matter what I choose.

[3D beginner's tutorial]

Wrong Place. Wasted Space

It's a nice thought of you to create a tutorial for people to learn how to make 3D but Newgrounds really isn't the place. The tutorial was also layed out poorly. The majority of kids here are people who can't even make stick figures move decently. The last thing I think most anyone would want is to see a bunch of high filesize 3D stick figures beating each other. If you really really felt like it's necessary to show a 3D tutorial, you should start with teaching the basics of modelling first. That way people can practice creating something decent before they go on to try to make it move. At least it'll ahve a bit of experience and effort behind it. Moreso than crashing cylinders into each other for a figure.

[Stay Alive v.2]

It's a game

What else can I say? Nothing to it that interests me as far as gameplay goes. I guess I can't criticize how you set it up since I can't code worth crap. Nice effort, it gets a 3/5.

[The Marine Left for Dead]

Half a game gets half a score

Even though this is a demo, you should really post entire games up rather than parts. Movies are able to get away with halfers but games are something that really need to be completed.

[Magneto Mini Golf]

Excellent. Very cool indeed.

Very well presented and some of those facts actually stick as I play more. This is really a smart way to intice the general public.

[Castle Cat 3]

Great Game Found a bug though

There's nothing I'd add to this game as far as gameplay goes. I hit a bug where you go into the venetian palace, if you don't go down where the down arrow points and keep goin to the right, you'll get to a shop. If you go into the shop, then go back where you came from, you'll be back at the front door of the venetian area again If you go back in, you'll be stuck beause you can't go up and become a bee again, and you can't get out of the area.

Great game dude.
