TamiyaGuy's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Document Flyer]

Alright, but can be improved.

Well, for your first game, it's certainly nice and sound. I couldn't find any bugs, the artwork was good and it was pretty complete. Of course, it can certainly be improved. Here are a couple of tips I thought of.

Never, and I say NEVER, have the framerate of Flash set to 12fps, 24 is the minimum for games like this.

Try adding some background music or some sound effects, perhaps a crash when you, er, crash.

Finally, try adding an animation for when you press/release the Space Bar, it doesn't look very pretty the way the plane jerks in one direction or the other.

Still, it's a nice game, kept me interested for a bit. Keep it up!

Tractor responds:

Yeah I do agree that the plane does move about a bit erratically...Need to smooth the movements a bit...

Thanks for the feedback =)

[Breaking the Bank]

Brilliantly done.

This well deserves the frontpage. The voices were kinda samey, but from one voice actor I couldn't have expected anything else. Great concept, nicely pulled off.

PuffballsUnited responds:

It was also the first time I had done any voice acting, but I'll keep it in mind for any other videos.

[Newgrounds Helpful Guide]

Very true.

I've seen a ton of "cool point" calculators over time, but never a quiz to find out how helpful you are for Newgrounds. This is a really fun, easy to understand test I enjoyed taking, plus the explanations at the end of the quiz helped a lot. The menus are very well-made; complex, yet easy to see and understand, and the questions are just the same. Some are not exactly trick questions, but you'll need to think twice before answering.

For next time, perhaps make it a little longer, or maybe have various grades for certain sections of Newgrounds (e.g. BBS, Flash & audio, reviews, etc)

Sispri responds:

There'll be more split up separate sections, yes.

[Orange Runner]

Sweet and simple.

Wonderfully basic, button-mashing goodness. However, the difficulty, IMO, quite quickly got up to impossible; the saws were so close together that after jumping over one of them, I landed on the other. The invincibility helped with that, though. Also, once I got up the the helicopter, I felt like there was no way in hell I was going to be able to win the race. Still, that's what you get for playing a constantly quickening game, I guess.

Very nicely made, I hope to see OR2 soon!

Maxwelldoggums responds:

yeah, it's a little weird difficulty wise. Thanks for reviewing!

[3D Sugar Glider]

Words cannot describe this.

As a 3d modeller myself, I know just how hard it is to create low-poly, yet realistic, 3d models, and you have exceeded all expectations. Although the gameplay is somewhat limited, the graphics are incredible, and the game remains enjoyable for quite a long time.

Fantastic work!

SESSNET responds:

Thank you for the kind words!

[Geo Land RPG]

Fantastic and addictive.

ok, everything might be shapes, but the names are really original and the cel-shading is done really well. I love the Pokemon style of the actions, and all the quests are really clever. I've spotted a few bugs, though (only 1 is an actual bug, the rest might be):

1.) If you complete a quest and as a result get more XP than required to Lvl up, you don't level immediately: you have to kill a monster first.

2.) You can only get more FP by buying some Vitamins or leveling up. Resting won't work, and neither will Pshycho Drain, as that (at best) will only give back the lost FP.

3.) Apples may give back 40 HP in battle, but they only give 20 HP while wondering. I actually like this, but it isn't specified, so I thought I'd mention it.

Apart from those minor bugs, I must congratulate you on an incredible, addictive, playable RPG! Everything I see is perfect. The way you learn new attacks as you level, the misses, the different attacks of the enemies, and the AI!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

TheUnsupported responds:

The +20hp from apples was a bug (fixed now). But thanks for telling me.
I'm glad you liked my RPG. You can expect more from me in the future.

Thanks for your review.

[Sound Control Tutorial]

The only tut I know that uses AS to control sound

And that's exactly what I was wanting. This kind of tutorial is perfect for games, as simply putting sound in a frame can prove much harder than expected ;). I only needed a short part of the tut, but I decided to check out the rest anyway, and I found it really helpful. The AS was flawless, and the _root. tip always helps. Into my faves it goes, and a congratulations on making this!!!

PS: I know you've heard it tons, but I too think the Lockdude thing at the beginning was a bit OTT :P

Lockdude responds:

Thanks, I'm glad I could help :) Well I am planning on making more tutorials, its just with school what little time I have doing nothing I normally spend relaxing, anyway my point is I'll have more tutorials coming eventually so keep a look out, planning drawing game tutorial and a zooming in tutorial. Anyway thanks for the great review!

And yeah I am going to fix that starting, didn't realise how slow it actually was :|

[VG Trivia Challenge]

A nicely well-balanced quiz.

A great mix of fun games (treasure hunter), knowledge games (erm... trivia.....), and skill games (music). One of my little niggles, is that straight away, sometimes you are thrown in at the deep end, and the questions are pretty hard. Maybe it's because I'm 13, maybe it's because I'm not addicted to computer games, but I sometimes find the first 3 questions impossible.

A remedy: maybe have the first few Qs set to a kind of 'what time is the news at 10 o'clock?' kind of questions.

but it's a great game, and there should be more of these made!!

jogo52793 responds:

We tried to start out with some more well known games, or with questions that could even be guessed just by what the music might sound like for particular games.

Anyways, glad you like the game! Appreciate the review! I'm not sure if a sequel is coming for a while...the production of the game had its frustrating points!

[Paintball - The Game]

Uniquely addicting

Really good music that never got boring, nice graphics, sweet level editor, nuff said.

Claxor responds:

I'm glad you liked it! I love the music too :P :D

[Landmaster Shotdown BETA]

really good beta game

Everything i think you should add you will almost definitely add in the real game, for example a few powerups like rapid fire, double shot etc. Also, try to add some sort of movie clip and a sound when you get hurt, because i thought that i was invincible coz i was concentrating on the game, not the HP bar.
Cool game!

Pikafreak responds:

Hey, Thanks for your support! I really appreciate it.
