shinobody's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Abandon Tomorrow]

Awesome.

Game is great, although I suggest some kind of autosaving feature, maybe?
Ah, and I laughed at Zeus Arms. TOTALLY NOT ARES ARMS. TOTALLY.
Overally, great RPG, although sad that is very linear. I mean, all you can change is your class at beginning (half of options only at AgeOfGames, anyway), your name (not that it matters) ... And all. Can't change gender, hair color, nothing. Later? You're given stable storyline you can't deviate from. I mean, RPG games are about CHOOSING. Why I can't take side of the punks? That's not so cool.
Game is great though, and I DEARLY hope you'll make a sequel.
As for just the mechanics:
>Allow player to enter Characters (journal etc.) menu also at dialogue scenes and world map, not only in combat.
>Tactical Combat would be more tactical if we could stop other characters from following the main, so we could set them up at strategic places before the fight.
>Allow to cancel Move action;

ZEROstudio responds:

I doubt ther will be a sequel taking in consideration that this team has split apart, we had no time to polish the game or to give more features on character creation, also you can cancel the move by presing escape.
Glad you saw potnetial in ouer first and last game.

[Life Story]

CHEESE

I ALWAYS WANTED TO INVENT GIGANTIC CHEESE
lol.
Heh, not bad.
Even funny.

alexkolozsy responds:

:) Made to be funny, not to be a game. Made in 15 mins, you know, and a hit on kongregate :) so it doesn't matter what it's like here.

[Ultimate Speedball]

Not bad

Just:
"Speedball" is name of very particular futuristic sport in sci-fi (check Wikipedia);
Here portrayed is Paintball.
You could've taken more care in cropping the photos.
Also, paint should splatter also when missed.

PrestigiousStudios responds:

Actually speedball is a sect of paintball that utilizes either a hyperball or Xball stylized field. For the most part one could say a field with bunkers is a 'speedball' field. Thanks for nice score and advice :)

[D&D dice/initiative rollr]

Great...

It might not seem really good for people not interested in tabletop games, but tool that easily allows you to roll 20 d20 dice at a time, and also works as spare set of dice is very useful, especially if DM has tendency for epic battle scenes (like, 30 people on both sides, players amongst them) . Great.
As for ideas - how about adding other dice than d20 for group (called initiative, but has more uses with some imagination...) rolls? It would make it way more versatile tool, good not only for D&D... But it is great, still.

StickFigureMedia responds:

Like what dice? I've only played DnD so I am used to just d20 int systems,
but I'm fine with making a switch to switch it to 3d6 or something like that for Kobalds Ate Meh Baby and other table top systems, I just don't know whats out there that would be useful to people.

And this was made for my DM, who has a tendency for the epic 30-40 battle scenes.

I'm also working on a DnD mapping project for the DM to use, I'm currently modeling it after TTopRPG's DM screen, but thats a project for weeks away probably.

[Reservoir Dogs - The Game]

Controls...

..are bad.
"You dropped the case! You dropped the case! You died!"
Is there any logic behind "push out of way" algorithm?
And why can't we use gun, apart from the fact, that he didn't YET in the movie?
(I mean, this is awkward, getting shot and shot by cops knowing that scene later you'll spray them over with lead...)
Also, too short... Too simple... Gets 7 for that it is NOT bad, and from sentiment for the movie.
*wish* if someone just made similar game, but with firefights and carchases... (they _were_ in a movie...) Especially memorable White's akimbo...
Ehh... Yea, dreams. Nice things.

Dork457 responds:

You're right that there was a lot to be desired from the controls. I've long since lost the original source code but by my recollection there was a hastily written preventative method to keep the player from just mashing the 'shove' button. The problem was that there was no real feedback to the user so it made the game feel unresponsive. I never revisited the code from this game but I would have used your feedback had I have. Thanks for playing!

[Johnny Mark]

Oh, my...

To review below... from when abilty to cange background is pro in dressups? It is *mandatory*. Srsly, show me some good game of this genre, which has not this option.
So?
-nothing new
-JADUG (JustAnotherDressUpGame)
-strange layers hierarchy (like, can't use blue armor with trousers... strange...)
-abovementioned backgrounds don't kick ass (JPG compression?! pleeaase...)
-strange choice of clothes (blue samurai armor, gasmask,demon head and sapper from Hurt Locker? WTF?)
+lotsagunz (usually there aren't much weapons at all, and you are left with single katana, because author felt generous, so this IS a valid argument)
+oldschool style (although I don't like these actual sprites, I must admit they're well made).
5/10, so <cpt=obvious>"nothing above average".</cpt>

ZEROstudio responds:

Thank you, this was done for fun in couple of houres, nothing serios,the blue samurai is taken from our abandon tomorrow rpg game(wich i asure you it was darn hard to make)
Tnx again

[Robot: El Escape]

Language

You should add option to change language, first.
Second, retry isn't working.
That;s all - not too bad.

Adrianck45 responds:

do not worry, I will put many improvements in my next job

[That Way]

Physics...

This is the first physics game... With actual physics THAT crazy!
Switching your mind to think in these terms is nearly as hard as "thinking with portals" :D
Well, they say that adapting to new situation is real measure of intelligence :P
Very good game, but after you adapt to these physics, it is not very hard.

NPGames responds:

THANKS! I love comments like this, Thanks also for comparing it to portal, I wish I could make a game with such a unique feature. Sorry I couldn't make it harder. The people I tested had more than a challenge beating the current game.

[Operation: Kill Osama]

Argh

"Do not get spotted jumping out of helicopter" dialog isn't disappearing after you click beggining, forcing you to get killed by some invisible (hidden by window) terrorist.
O STARS - GAME IS UNPLAYABLE
Otherwise, it could get around 7 or 6... I would know if itr WOULD BE PLAYABLE.
Grrrr...

arunforce responds:

Dissapeared for me, make sure your flash client is up to date and that the game fully loaded.
