KrunchyFriedGames's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Racers]

Feels like this has a lot of potential without quite being there yet:

The gameplay's quite fun, and I think I'd enjoy playing it with a friend, except for a couple of things. Like- if the cars leave the screen, you can't see either of them and it's pretty much game over (the old game Micro Machines has the best way of solving this problem)

Also, adding sound, a main menu and spending more time on the graphics would go a long, long way to improving this.

Thanks for the feedback

[The Zebra-Sitters Club]

lol, this baffled me, but made me laugh and I found all the zebras so... well done. Only problem is, I don't know if I've completed it. Have I missed something? Also, is the music 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight?'

ZebraHumor responds:

If you got the 5 sitters, you reached the end of the game.

The music is actually The Baby-Sitters Club tv show theme but in 8-bit.

[The Wizard]

I played til they finally liked my song! The story is entertaining and funny in places (and yes, I chose the I want women option!), but this has some big issues- first thing is that the resolution is too large for my laptop screen (although the bottom is all empty space). Second, this needs thorough proofreading. The opening page has "it's great mines and their wise merchants"- there shouldn't be an apostrophe in 'its' when it's a possessive and 'their' feels like it's being falsely used as a synonym for 'its'. Also, "It's night time... cheer poured out the windowns". Aside from the clear typo, you're switching tenses (present to past) in the same paragraph, and this happens a lot.
Even just putting this through MS Word spellcheck will get rid of most of the typos, but taking a couple of hours to sit down and go over your story will definitely pay off for future projects.

Xuvero responds:

Thanks for the analysis, I really apreciate it.

I'm still trying to find a solution for the resolution problem: I left it quite large as to avoid getting some text to be left out of the embeded area in some passages, but I do want one that would fit on the screen.

And yes, I definitely should have done a better proofreading, and I plan on correcting this mistakes when I manage to spare some time. The MS Word thing is something that I really should have done, but I didn't think of it at the time, it was a mistake. Instead I checked it all manually, by myself, and as a result a lot of mistakes slipped through the cracks. I'm also looking for a more effective method of proofreading to use in the future.

[Bio Evil 4]

This is the most addictive platformer/ shooter I've played in ages! The sections were just challenging enough to make me want to keep going after deaths (of course, this was on 'Baby'- normal difficulty was way beyond me). Sound and graphics are great too. More please...

Gypopothomas responds:

Thanks a lot!

[Danish Blocks Brawl]

Some really good ideas here. Personally, I'd like an option to have fewer units at the start, as it took ages to set up my attack when I was more or less randomly picking my guys without knowing how it would go (it might be easier for new players to understand how the units work with smaller fights too). The onslaught of sound effects kind of reflects the busy-ness of this.

ZoopaBig responds:

Thnx for the tips! It makes sense.

[Offline Two Player Pong]

My right hand beat my left hand 15-11 before I stopped playing. At least a couple of these goals were scored before either hand was ready, however, so some kind of 'press to begin' option would be nice- as would a score/ time limit for the games. Also, why does the ball start to the right of the screen? Apart from these things, well, it's a perfectly competent version of Pong. Good luck with future projects!

Thank you !

[Mr Gramps Road Rush 101 2.0]

Yes, it's very, erm, yes...

For me, the best part of this was the way the Shutterstock watermark was still on the old lady photo!
