Afro-Ninja's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red Oz Episode 1]

Good stuff! The harvester definitely got me, haha. My only complaint is that I wanted to keep the papers/writing that I found in my inventory, especially since there was spare room. Looking forward to the next.

Hyptosis responds:

Yeah, you're right. I think I'm going to start doing that. Someone else mentioned that earlier too. Man, thanks so much, you're a cool friend.

[#Escape: The Waiting Room]

Really enjoyed the music and atmosphere! Medals were fun, and the puzzles were interesting. I have a few quips but I don't want to post any spoilers so I'll message you.

Aprime responds:

Thank you very much!

Great to have a review from you :)

[[REVIVE]]

the puzzles in this game are very creative and challenging. not to mention you did all of the art, programming, and music yourself? bravo!

JonBro responds:

Means a lot coming from you, Afro-Ninja! Thank you!

[ORB (Space Shooter)]

Hey not bad!

glad to see you guys pulled off a complete project. My best score was 1550, I believe. Was my life bar supposed to regenerate or did that come from something else? Only complaint is that I thought holding down the fire button should produce a slightly higher rate of fire than it did (but still make the player rely on manual burst fire if need be)

kelwynshade responds:

Much appreciated. For our first go, we learned a lot about Flash when dealing with the programming side. Our next small project will end up being much more polished with attention focused on gameplay and details.

[Metroid Blaster]

Erm

What's with the scanning? Is that supposed to be a preloader? It takes waaay too long and you make the player re-do it after looking at the credits AND restarting the game

triforceguy1 responds:

Yea I kinda got the timing wrong, I'll change it soon

[Castle Crashing the Beard]

Wow

This is pretty awesome, you guys are insane haha. I couldn't level up past 2 though, I suck :(

BoMToons responds:

Try playing for more than 30 seconds. ;)

[NGIntern: Progress]

Uhh

This really shouldn't have been submitted. I understand wanting feedback on your work in progress, but that's why you post it up on NG MAG or take it to the flash forum for critique. Yes, the code functions, that's nice, but definitely could have waited before submission.

t7bros responds:

Well, all I know is that you've gotta start somewhere and there's a lot worse on the site than what I have submitted. I know that even you have early flashes somewhere and I wonder what they are like.

[Overrun II]

Masterful

This is an absolute stunning mix of so many well-polished skills. Technical flash skill, actionscripting, 3-d modeling, animation, music creation, and game design. Denvish sir I do believe you can do it all. You're a virtual one-man game creation studio.

A fun game that you can jump right in and shoot stuff, or go hardcore and play on crazy mode (haha, didn't quite get to that myself :p) I love the small touches that make this all the better. Your hovering scroll bars, music volume adjust, multiple save files, high scores, the list goes on

Here's hoping this gets to top 50 and stays there for a while, because you earned it =)

Denvish responds:

Thanks Afro, that means a lot coming from you. It's been a culmination of 5 years learning of Flash and other programs, and I'm very happy with the result, and the response it's recieved. I have a feeling that the score is going to steadily drop from here on in, but so long as it stays above 4.30 by tonight, I should have my first top 50'er. Unfortunately I can't hope to compete with your Weekly User's Choice (the competition has been TOUGH this week), but I really have no reason to complain.
Thanks for the review, man, and I'll see you on the BBS.

[All-In-One Tutorial 2]

blah

how many people are going to make these lame tutorials? all that info is found in the ng faq or at any flash site. Once this drops off the recent fifty no one will see it and there will be another tomorrow

DJRunaway responds:

......

[-Gun Fire-]

Not enough

This would still confuse people new to flash. You didn't explain things very well. The AS wasn't in depth eiter. If someone holds the space bar down it will stay on frame 2.

AlternateAccount responds:

ok... whatever
