sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[NerveJangla]

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.

[SAS 2: Insane Asylum]

not an improvement over prequel

the first game was great, though it had some serious flaws.

none of the flaws were fixed (this is the exact same game with some new tiles and a couple new weapon/enemy sprites)

unfixed problems:

-the moving camera. this is just terrible. if your guy stayed at the center of the camera, navigation would be: a. more seamless, b. not afflicted by the problem of clicking off the applet and entering menu accidentally

-no markers for barricades on the minimap

-no markers for turrets on the minimap

-no sound/ambience controls. you can't mute the sound

since these issues were brought up before, this title can't be considered passing. so i give it just barely below a passing score, since it's still a great game.
