[Maximum Frustration 2]

not a fan of games that are designed to be annoying.

also my right ear is bleeding. you need to balance your audio.

Zapxo responds:

Are you frustrated yet?

[Randobot]

awesome. wish it was longer and there were more things to upgrade on the robot.

still awesome.

[Siegius Arena]

-why did you force us to move our right hand between the mouse and the keyboard?

-you have to sit still attacking far too long to turn around.

-terrible mobility. no dashing or jumping or rolling? really? that's like 99% of physical combat.

-and what's with having to run around picking up coins when you kill people? that's a lame payout method. i'd rather focus on combat in the arena and money stuff outside of the arena.

-no noticeable feedback when you take damage. you just do. (inevitably due to the terrible mobility you gave us) there is feedback but in the heat of intense combat you don't notice it at all. you just kind of have to assume "ok i'm in a brawl so i'm probably taking some damage over time. longer i'm in this brawl sooner i'll die, etc."

overall the terrible mobility and the frustrating nature of movement during swinging really killed this experience for me.

it's still good amongst the sea of crap out there though so it deserves an above average rating.

no upgrades = no stars

Nonako responds:

(sorry for my English)

I'm really not a fan of upgrades system, at least in these kind of game. I love to rise my skill and win than use my time to farm lot of money and buy powerful weapon then beat all bosses without hard trying. So sorry...

Live Review:

First impression: a 5/5 platformer. great sound, fluid control responses, nice music, graphics look great.

-i wish the default was all the way zoomed out

Overall I enjoyed it very much.

[Outpost:Swarm]

a bit laggy. graphics are low resolution. and i didn't like how i couldn't set it to full screen again if i hit escape and ended full screen mode. if i could, there were no instructions or menus to show me how.

Squize responds:

Yep, you can only turn full screen back on via the title screen, as we figured players would either want full screen, or not, rather than change mid game ( I understand that real life gets in the way and you may need to swap between the two views when playing, but the whole full screen stuff wasn't in the original, and we could only devote a certain amount of time to this newgrounds exclusive ).
As to the graphics, they're not low resolution, Flash scales things up in full screen, the bigger your display the more it has to scale, there's no way around that really.

Thanks for taking the time to play it.
