[Headbanging Hero]

Fun while it lasted

-These game jam submissions are usually pretty good since they make you think outside the box to make games. Being able to only use arrows narrowed down the possibility of games quite a bit. Choosing a musical based game was probably the best choice as a platformer might have become tedious.

-The guy and girl were pretty well drawn up and all of the animations for the headbanging actions worked out well. The game is fun to play but with only so many songs comes so much gameplay. So after a while it does get a little boring. I will say that the song choices were really good for the type of game that you made though.

-The scoring system works well but doesn't penalize you much for mashing buttons instead of timing your presses. Overlapping arrows would sometimes both disappear after pressing the arrow once and makes it easier but i'm not sure if it was supposed to do that or if it's part of the proximity. Anyways it's a fun game but having the time constraint really hurt how good this game could have been.

Mmm, glad you like it, I can see where we had bad points, we will try it better for the next one and thanks a lot for reviewing! :)

[Power Devour!]

3498-I strung an okay early combo

-Not to shabby if I do say so myself. At the time of finishing my first game I came in second place but not too many people have played yet so I fear it's probably a pretty bad score :p

-I think you guys were able to put out a pretty good game considering the circumstances. Making a game in under 24 hours is no small feat. The handicap you were given is interesting and a giant monster is only fitting. What exactly that monster is I have no clue as it just looks like a square with baby squares.

-Gameplay is rather smooth and the controls work a lot better than what I originally thought when I read the author comments. Two lanes and a slow addition of new features as the levels rise is a great ease into gameplay. Without it I would of tanked my lives much faster than I did(losing most on level I died). Eventually it just became too fast for me to keep track of pressing the right buttons accordingly and in time but everyone has their own speed.

-Music is nice and dramatic but not too overdone for the game at hand. Has some nice sound effects to go with it as far as gameplay too. Love the pixel art as the people are easy to distinguish from one another(fat and skinny). And once again the monster is pretty cool.

this is like my 1st 10 from you guys! Thanks!

[Pyroscape 3]

Epic

-Glad to see the third installment of the epic adventure out. Took me some time to get around to playing it but i'm sure glad that I did. I've really liked how this series incorporates real life action and flash together. Plus I see it's won underdog of the week. Well deserved but I still wish it could of had a higher score since it's deserving of it.

-Title screen is very inviting and music goes great with it and throughout the game. The minigames could prove a little difficult for a casual gamer but they are pretty simple and getting through them isn't too much of a problem. Nice incorporation of the medals again and was able to get them all.

-The story just keeps getting more dramatic as it goes along it seems. Some pretty interesting lines as well. Great acting and the action scenes were pretty intense. Wasn't sure how you guys were able to get through it all unscathed but then I remembered I was in the presence of real hardened men who could survive even nukes.

MonoFlauta responds:

hahaha
Thanks again for reviewing :)

[Friday: The Game]

Fun Game

-Like others have said sometimes the medals are having trouble sending and it takes a few times to get them to activate. Not sure if it's in game or a problem with the medal system as they do work just not all the time. I've played through the game a few times and have done everything except for Derp and Fun!Fun!Fun! but i'll probably find them soon enough and get the medals to send for the ones that i've done but still haven't unlocked.

-The game is fun and reminds me a lot of other really fun text based adventures that have come out in the past. At first it's a little difficult to figure out what to do but once you get the hang of it is easy to breeze through in under two minutes and have yourself styling at the party. Lots of great music and the coding for the game works great for what it's supposed to do. Sometimes even being able to skip some steps. Overall one of the best games you've made and not just because it's making fun of the "Friday" song.

Thank you man!
What a great review!

[Dino Jeff Adventure 2]

Much improved

-I'm not going to lie. I'm really bad at this game. You've kept a lot of the hazards that made the first one such a challenge for me but made two sets of them. I'm so bad at avoiding the rockets and that's what makes me lose most of my health. I was able to deftly dodge most of the other obstacles. But I guess it needs to have some difficulty otherwise it would be too easy to earn those medals.

-Dino Jeff looks as goofy as ever too. I like how you kept him that way as it makes the game more entertaining imo. Great music to listen to while playing made it even more enjoyable. While this game might not be insanely flashy it definitely is fun. Hopefully you get the scoreboard working since that's the only thing I noticed that didn't work properly.

[Ban That Flup! 2]

Wow!

50,000 times better than the original is an uderstatement. Tom Fulp is a musical genuis and i'm glad he put forth blood, sweat, and cum to help put this together with you. I'm not sure how this masterpiece was put together so quickly but i'm glad that I was able to play it soon after it reached the portal.

thinking-man responds:

Lots of cum. SO MUCH CUM!

[Night of Million Zombies]

Tons of fun

Really fun game. Played it due to it being a zombie game but keep playing it to try and get all of these medals. Even though they are worth five points it's fun to try and earn them. Quite challenging at first and even with the improved stats still keeps you on your toes. Autofire was a nice option that I like to see in shooting games where you tend to fire a lot. Suprised it has such a low score considering how good it is. Hope to see another one in the future.

ThomSip responds:

Thanks for the compliments man, really glad you liked it :)

Just started working on my next zombie game, I'll message you when it's out ;)

Cheers mate

[They Came From Nam]

Favorited

-This game is honestly captivating. I bookmarked this game since I didn't have time during the game jam but I just got some free time today so I decided to play it. Read through the author comments and when I saw that it was difficult I just had to see what all the fuss was about. Damn, after the first try I barely got through a few enemies before I was decapitated.

-But even practice does not make perfect as i'm still struggling with the boss but that's what makes it so captivating to me. You guys didn't bow down to the needs of the masses who wanted easy but fun gameplay. No, you went forth with putting together a game that would challenge even some of the best gamers newgrounds has to offer. I like that and it's kept me entertained for a long time even though i'm not all that good at it.

-With the time constraints that you guys had it's no suprise that the storyline wasn't fleshed out a ton but what you have is enough to get us into Sgt Rambo Giraffes struggles and make us want to get revenge. Lovely pixel art and some interesting enemies thrown in and you have a great game. No suprise that this recieved third place in the contest. Now to get back and see if I can succeed.

thinking-man responds:

This is probably my favorite review that I have gotten so far! It was long, detailed, and touched all the main points. THANKS!

[Santa Vs. Gravity]

Fun game

Nice to see a christmas themed game from you. It's always enjoyable to play your games that give a twist to other people's work. Usually they are quite a challenge but I find this one to just be a little on the easy side since the combo continues even if you miss a package along the way. Hopefully all of the presents that he saved broke his fall or else it was all for nothing. Wouldn't want all that hard work to go down the drain by santa dying.

thinking-man responds:

I think santa broke the present's fall... Also, I really need to come up with some original gameplay ideas...

[Letz Maek A Flash Gaem]

Yay!

Thanks for getting around to fixing the medals. Most people don't bother to fix the medals for their games. It's a fun game so it's no trouble at all to go back and get them.

Some people are just lazy.
