TheBlackGhost's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crunch]

Good job!

I liked it, a simple game but that's what makes it entertaining. Requires you to think fast on your feet. I'm surprised so many people disliked the music, I honestly thought it was pretty perfect for the game. Great job, hope to see more indepth games to come.

Cryzabey responds:

Thanks. It's nice to know that someone out there actually likes the music ;)

We've actually got a planned game launch for next month. This game took about two weeks, and the new one's been in the works for about half a year. Hopefully the difference in quality will make it apparent =]

[Stigg's Veggie-Matic]

Pretty good

I thought it was pretty entertaining considering the gameplay it offered. The only thing that didn't make much sense to me was why the enemies that required multiple shots to take down didn't offer as many points respective to the amount of shots needed. It would make more sense to me that harder enemies would offer more of a reward.

WarpZone responds:

Hmmm. You know, that's actually a very good point.

I guess I would argue that the score is based on the number of bellies you fill, not the number of vegetables you serve. :) That's kind of a cop-out, though. The real reason is, it just didn't occur to me.

It's too late to change my entry now, though, so I'll just have to file that thought away for consideration when developing future games. Thanks for bringing it up, though, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game anyway.

In the grand scheme of things, the main difference you're going to see between players' scores is based on how fast they click, not which kids spawn. 1200 is a pretty big sample size when you're talking about purely random results. If redheads are worth less per veggie, or swarms are worth more per spawn, it should average out.

That said, no one likes to feel cheated. I wish I'd thought of it.

Thansk for the feedback. :)

[Unknown.]

Not bad but there's a bug

Trying to move the cursor off screen doesn't work of course, however if I click my mouse button in first and hold it, I'm able to move the cursor off screen and beat each level without effort.

Otherwise a pretty fun and entertaining game.

itsjms responds:

dont cheat then :P. I could care less i like my game. First game ive EVER enjoyed playing.

[The Pick of Destiny]

What's upwith the Armor Pick

It doesn't seem like it's just me, the Armor Pick is incredibly hard. I didn't mess up on any of the others except that one, I just had to skip it. It seems once you mess up you're screwed for like 10 notes because even if you press them on time they're come up as a miss. Nice job otherwise.

LilDwarf responds:

I guess it's hard :) Keep trying.

[Super Biology Adventure]

Very Fun

But at the end of my first bonus stage, the game never reverted back to the regular game after the stage was cleared of edible guys. I love the concept of shooting first and then eating, keep up the good work.

gel responds:

Thank you (and the last couple reviewers) for pointing out the bonus stage bug. This was one of the big ones that only happened to a few people and we couldn't track down... until now! It should be fixed now. The game should be getting sexier within a few days though.

Thanks again!

[Silent Death]

Fun Game

After reading the review before me I decided to leave a review. First of all about the game, the graphics were great, very smooth. Sound was appropriate, violence of course as I'm sure you know, and I even found the stealth kills a bit sadistically funny. Overall it was a great game. And about the game below me, I also played a game called Silent Death, and I thought this was going to recreate it, all well. Seriously, I was addicted to that game for a few years, I was sad to see it taken down. Anyway awesome game, I'm looking forward to your future work.

FrostedMuffins responds:

Thanks a lot! My drawing has never been that good, but I tried on this one. The animations took a good while too. Sorry to dissappoint you about Silent Death, I've seriously never heard of it. Well, there is more on the way, so I hope to please!

[Vanguard Mercenary]

Awesome

Great game Negative, near perfect in all aspects, my only real compliant is when a new gun replaces the one that I still wanted, there may be a way to choose which side though, I'm not sure I didn't go very indepth into the directions and such. By the way you wouldn't happen to have played Einhander by Square Soft would you of? Cause I noticed a similarity between the Zio's ship in this one and Einhander's ship. Fun game none the less, looking forward to your games in production.

NegativeONE responds:

Well, if you don't like the automatic weapon pickup, go into the Options Menu and turn off "Always replace weapons". Then you just use the drop weapon buttons when you want to pick up a new one.
A lot of my inspiration actually came from Einhander. The ship design, however, I have no idea where you're coming from with that. I've just searched up a picture of the Einhander ship on google to make sure I'm not just crazy. The two designs could barely be more black and white. Honestly, I don't see a resemblence. But a lot of the mechanical aspects of the game were derived from Einhander, yeah. Thanks for your review.

[Defend Your Inglor]

Awesome

Great game. Although i may of found a potential bug, im not sure, but on level six after the game time ran out it didn't go to the upgrade list, just stayed on the level, may want to look into it. And to everyone who doesnt know who Ingor is, he is a very helpful user on the Newgrounds BBS. And he is not "A Inglor" hes a person.

Denvish responds:

No, he's definitely a cyber-being.

[SUPA japanime tutorial]

Yep

I thought it was pretty good, im sure ill use some of these teaching techniques somewhere down the line, thanks

TURTLE-MAN responds:

nono...thank YOU

[kill bellclock!!1!]

Not that bad

I thought it was pretty good, exspecilly the lolly pop part, thats just mean haha. I am proud to say though that the picture didnt scare me, and im pretty easy to scare. Looks like youll have to try harder next time on that.

BellClock responds:

Odd, some people are terrified and some are not scared. Glad u liked it
