sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Redshift]

nothing new.. but has been done better before

the menu system was very clumsy and unintuitive. i just didn't enjoy any aspect of it.

the game itself was fine. i like the shield system. it's all fine. but once you go in a menu.. it's frustrating.

even at the start of the game, when you click new game.. and it loads up instructions.. and all you cacn do from there is click exit.. then you're back at the screen where you choose new game or continue game.... uhm... then what's the point of clicking new game? why not just have "continue game" and "instructions" i don't understand the purpose of the new game button.

i could go into lots of details why the in-game menu was terrible as well but i think it's so bad you need to literally scrap it and start from scratch.

fun

439 on first try. could probably do better. nothing stumped me but i had trouble with the star collection where there were bombs beneath the stars. took me several tries and probably added about 20-30 seconds to my time.

[Overmode]

buggy

i think there was a bug. when i won i got a cinematic.. and i think it was supposed to be a black screen.

[Glow Shooter]

don't like it

i don't like having to run around and collect crap while evading and attacking.

[REDDER]

4 from total

pretty fun and cool ambience. especially as you collect more crystals

[Robot Wants Kitty]

smooth

8:58 first try.

fun but too short.

[Line Simulator]

well

the guy right behind you got moved up to 2nd in line without having to do anything.

that pisses me off.

Haha, well what else is he gonna do?

[Hippolyta]

good but bad controls

why can't we shoot with click instead of space bar?

[LARRY: Doug-Out]

not very fun

it's the doug aspect that makes this game unplayable

first off, he gets way too fast

but the first thing i noticed was there was no mouseover event for doug's head. that just made the whole experience of smacking him seem totally artificial.

also there aren't really any upgrades. just a few and they aren't fun at all.

lose the doug.. or change the doug mechanic a lot and add more upgrades and this could be.. playable.

even then it wouldn't be fun.

[Eternal Red]

good

fun and slightly original

needs:

-force wave button
-health bars on the mobs
-some stats on the turrets and floor panels so you can know their damage/rate etc.
