ShortMonkey's game Reviews on Newgrounds

Zomg

Best rick roll - big time!

Kembry responds:

Thanks friend :)

[Charlie and the Truck]

Pretty Good

Could have definitely been better with more variety. It was very repetitive which stopped me playing for longer. Graphics were pretty good but I would have liked to see some visual effects and power ups and such to make it more interesting. It would have made the game more addicting if when the player does something cool i.e. dodge 5 obstacles in a row, the player earns a reward to make the player feel good about him/herself.

Good work but a bit more effort and time could have made this a lot better. Keep it up.

MrRandomist responds:

Good ideas put on the table!
ill keep them in mind if i do, do an expanded part

[Mr Angry Faic]

Cool game

Good game. Nice music too.

MrRandomist responds:

THanks for your review glad you liked it

[The Amazing Bubble]

Very good!

Great graphics, some typos in instructions, great gameplay but the first few levels should be easier.

MrRandomist responds:

OK thanks, ill keep that in mind, for the sequal!

[Viva La Evolution!]

Heh

Pretty pointless really and with crappy graphics... if you added pictures of the creatures or helped us understand what was going on, it would have been a lot better.

scikidus responds:

I can't give you "pictures" of the creatures because the creatures are being dynamically created, and they don't actually exist, they're just rectangles with a certain color.

I wasn't concerned with graphics, because the only graphics that actually matter are those of the background and of the creatures. Plus, any further graphics would have slowed the engine, something which I wanted to prevent.

If it makes you happy, I could potentailly change out the rectanges for some other shape, like a butterfly.

[Murder Gangster Rakoon]

Haha awesome

Great animutation work. lol, 0 bombs. 10/10 for sure

YoinK responds:

thanks shortmonkey

[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!"

:\

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.

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.
