ShortMonkey's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[TBA++]

Awesome

Gameplay:

Extremely fun and kind of relaxing because there was hardly any challenge. Though, I wasn't in the mood for a challenge when I played this so I really enjoyed this. 10/10

Graphics:

Some pretty nifty stuff you got there. Very cool. I'm guessing some of the graphics were made with actionscript. 10/10

Sound:

Music went well. Can't complain but it wasn't awesome. You didn't really need sound to make the game good though because of the amazing gameplay and graphics. 8/10

Overall:

An extremely fun game which I enjoyed very much. Thank you for the awesomness.

[Home Run Derby]

Not too good

Gameplay:

Pretty basic and boring. Only three spots where the ball can go is pretty basic. It got boring very quickly because it was just hitting and not much variation on where it goes. No running or anything, just hitting... pretty boring. 3/10

Graphics:

Meh, pretty basic stuff made or at least touched up in Photoshop. Nothing too great. Some art was ok though. 4/10

Sound:

Good choice of music. 8/10

Overall:

Not an enjoyable game. Pretty boring but I know this was submitted in '05 so I guess you've gotten better.

Cheers,

[The Random Fact Generator]

Haha awesome

But you need to make the text selectable so I can copy and paste these on msn.

[Pong Foursome]

Nice And Simple

Pretty fun. Graphics were a bit plain, but at least they didn't look bad. The game was fun but it got to a point where one of my opponents had jammed the ball in between them and the wall so I couldn't play anymore lol. Nice work!

[A Tracing Tutorial]

Meh...

This was more of a "look what I did" than a tutorial. Great artwork but the tutorial was pretty crap - just a brief summary of how you did it but doesn't really help anyone who would like to learn much at all.

If you want to post your artwork, post it in the Art forum of Newgrounds. ;-)

CBaum responds:

There was only one thing you could consider showing off and it was the picture of half the person's face. The rest of the stuff I drew last night as I made this, and I only put in that fancy picture because I wanted to show how you draw like that. If I were going to post my artwork than it would be alot better than that was and I wouldn't do it sneaky in a tutorial. I would make a slideshow called "Look at all this cool shit I drew!"

Great Work

Great work. Really fun and awesome. Graphics were good, not fantastic but pleasing to the eye so it was good.

A sequel would be awesome for the future too. :)

Great Game

Very fun - the level with my audio was awesome! Thanks for using it. This was very fun, many levels, and addicting. Keep up the great work!

I See Some Effort

I see some effort here which is always great to see but I didn't find this game entertaining, the graphics needed improving and gameplay was kind of boring.

About graphics:

The targets were drawn pretty well and animated nicely, background was kind of plain and the things that block you weren't very detailed. The tank was just a circle and a couple of squares... try to alter the shapes with the black arrow tool by dragging out points, curving and making new points while holding the ctrl key while dragging out vector art. Moon was done nicely though.

About Gameplay:

Well, this is kind of old style gameplay. Too boring in my opinion just moving left and right shooting things. Idea was good but gameplay needs to be better. I can't give many tips because I'm not an actionscripter.

Next time try to use some music and make a nice menu.

6.3/10

2.8/5

Keep up the good work - its great to see you improving!

Sorry about this; it was mainly experimental. Hopefully I'll come up with something better.

Nice Game

This was a good game... though the one with the arrow keys was hard because I couldn't movie diagonally but with elastic mouse type I could so that was easier. I didn't last very long but thats just me with games. :)

Didn't you have enough time to get this game sponsored? Also, hows the AS for the game we're working on going?

Good work.

8/10

3.4/5

[Newgrounds Rumble]

Best Flash Game Ever

Title says it all. I loved this game and marked as my favourite submission on Newgrounds. Congratulations on the awards and the high score - I hope it has the best score on Newgrounds until your next epic Flash is submitted. There were three people who participated: Luis, MindChamber and NegativeONE. Who did what?

I'm guessing that MindChamber did the art, Luis did the animation and NegativeONE did the coding - but I could be totally wrong.

Overall: Best submission on Newgrounds I have seen.

10/10

5/5

Great work and hope to see much more from you!

NegativeONE responds:

Your guess is a bit off, but there are very detailed descriptions of who did what in the credits.
