Sreith's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Battle Blades; Black Version]

every time i use the special, I am instantly kicked off the board.
every time i use special at same time as the enemy, i get stuck inside him...
I battled Inori for first, second and third round in the tournament... he cheating?

JackAstral responds:

Using special is pretty risky. It makes you move three times as fast, so if your blade is moving toward the edge of the stadium / was just knocked by an enemy, it's pretty likely it'll fall out. The idea is to activate it when your blade is centered and knocking the enemy toward the edge of the stadium.

Good point with the NPC names and the getting stuck thingy- I'll make sure to fix that up soon!

[Earn to Die 2: Exodus]

First, the PROs.... I can't think of any...
Second, the CONs... boy are they numerous.
Annoying slow motion out of nowhere saying "Awesome" when you... basically drive like a grandma... i mean.. Seriously!?
Gas ru out from STEERING... so long as the vehicule has any kind of motion, gas run out.
incoherent and inconsistent rate of fuel. maxed motor and tank, still ran out of fuel at the same place, doing the same things, when first try was at 0 upgrades.
Every few "days" in game you receive an annoying "BUY THIS GAME FOR THAT PLATFORM NOW" kinda pop up. You know the "bought game" has NOTHING new and NOTHING more than this here. Why bother?
Music is way too repetitive, even for this kind of game.
Why does buying a GUN increase motor power? How is that possible?
Why does buying ARMOR upgrade makes you... FASTER AND MORE FUEL EFFICIENT!? 4 new game and counting only to confirm this. HOW!?
Apparently you can fly these vehicule... that's how i went through two-third of a stage with only boost upgrades. Why is this even a thing? Mythbuster proved this to be impossible without PROPER training and equipment. Buster got annihilated. really.
Color scheme is way too bland and "meh". So basically this is... the sahara metropolis? where is that in the US? Don't tell me "because it's post apocalyptic game therefore sand everywhere". Sand doesn't equal psot-apocalypse. Sand doesn't appear from zombies "just because".
Weird glitches can be found all over the places. I ran out of fuel being stuck in mid-air with both wheel somewhere outside the screen. Going uphill is literally half the game, yet... why are my wheels NEVER touching the uphill ground? Heck, I had to stop in order to touch the ground (then i somehow ended up on the roof of some destroyed bridge or building by flying upward).
Why is buying an upgrade so... cheap at first, then the price is multiplied by 100? Who the hell BUY a fuel tank for 139,000$ !? Even with foreing currency this is literally impossible.

Bundle all your game together and rename it "Learn to grind" then try to sell to some credible fool. You'll have better luck.

How is this daily 5th!? Sure it's good enough not to be Blamed, but it's far below the average 10th place. Heck it's even generous to give this a daily ranking.

The player should at least be rewarded with a basic story... or get to drive the ferrari in the credits or something. Anything!
Really, the less effort i put in playing this, the weirder it became.

[Antumbra]

I became a fairy, got really stubborn with grandma, kicked the shit out of many masked dudes (why can't we go back without killing him?) told Pride he could go to hell (and eventually gave up on life) got a rain of fruits (Lucky me, got this 7 times in a row, but can't win a chance game IRL... ever). Also, I tried many door but they all led to the same ending, except Giddy God's, si I got sad and started over again.
I found the reference for the corridor quite easily... Being who I am (and pissing my pants just remembering the damn thing) it.. kinda made me giggle... nervously. The Mose reference was a given for most christian, still gave me a smile.
Truth be told, until I found how to get to the grandma, I couldn't get past the jungle bit. And... I used your walkthrough for that very bit of jungle. Shame on me.
However there is ONE thing that pisses me off to no end.
it's... how the heck do I get the last 6 achievement? Countryman, Saliva Surfer, Dweller, Resident, Astral and Sormathingy? I have NO Idea whatsoever.
Also, the grandma said the dungeon monster could be killed...? Is she insane? because that's how I got the Death Addict....

You are my hero.

Vilehead responds:

Saliva Surfer - jump into Mouth in sewers.
Sorma'Ksuler - visit every location
Countryman, Dweller, Resident - play for total 1h,3h,6h
Astral Master - Get every other medal

And you are my <3

[Senet: Game of Pharaohs]

amazing "Roll a 5, lose a turn" simulator. Rolled over 30 in a row. ended up losing to some CPU...

Hacsev responds:

That's a bit of an exaggeration, now is it? The CPU is hard to beat, I'll give you that, especially if it's your first time playing and are not familiar with the rules. My best against the CPU has been 5 - 2, but I decided that was too hard to accomplish and changed the medal to 5-3. Well, better luck next time!

[Shadowbound]

this should go under "Movie" category. I think i clicked twice and some character is level 20+ and it's asking em to pay in order to watch some character walk around and collect buttons....
why...

[Peter Bell Saves Christmas]

how did I get the 2nd and 5th gifts but can't get the 3rd and 4rth? it wont let me have the medals.

Bugs aside, I really, really really HATE your megaman-spoof stage. And I hate you for doing such a thing!
I HAVE FEELINGS TOO YOU KNOW! (I think I died about 15 or 20 times in that part) That's the only place I've died all game, except VS Fred. but Fred's a meanie, he doesn't count.

I say that, but I loved this game. True, part of it was infuriating. But that's doesn't take anything away from the fun I had playing =)

I love the voices! Goth chick was fun!

[The Valley Rule]

I really like this game. It's short, simple and the little girl looks adorable.
I simply wish you'd leave a little bit more lore about this... Maybe a short story? Like, how did she get stuck down there? Given the game design, i'd suggest a slideshow of picture showing how she got there. Doesn't need any words.

Controls are as smooth as i'd expect. No problem there. Wall Jumping near the end was really hard but not impossible. It's a matter of timing and it's forgiving.
Music and Ambient sound are a perfect fit. but sometime the music stops and there's no sound at all for a while before it starts again. Weird, but maybe it has to do with the five "levels"? Didn't put much attention on that...
Puzzles... simple, nothing to complain about.. except maybe i'd want a little bit more of them =)
jumping and wall-jumping in this game is way better than some action plateformer nowaday. I like it this way, not aggressive...
Colors and graphic are sweet and pleasant to the eyes.
Did I mention the girl looks adorable? =)

Did you win? Hope you did... because this game just made it into my favorites. Too bad there's no replay button =)

[Dragon Ball Z Quiz]

Extra points for knowledge.

I keep forgetting about God Saiyan. I thought Goku turned into a god without transforming. I'll watch again just to make sure.
Super Saiyan 4 is actually the great golden ape form. Super Saiyan 5 is the hairy form Goku first achieve in GT (Was it Baby Saga?). Basically, I believe Saiyan form to be 6. 9 if you count the "normal" great ape (Full moon), the false super saiyan form, and the normal form. 10 with the kaoiken, 11 with the fake super saiyan 2 (Cell saga, they rant about it for 2-3 episode). And finally 12 with Gohan's Ancient Kai's ceremony. Not sure how to call that one. He never needed to transform after that, he had the power of super saiyan 3 in his normal state. (Majin Buu Saga)
And then... what about Broly? Does he count?

Yamcha DID play baseball! Never thought anyone would pay it any attention. Glad i'm not the only one.

Bula (Or Bra) is indeed Vegeta's daughter. We see her in the last 2-3 Episode of DBZ and at some point in GT. Kind of a spoiled brat, but she IS Bulma's and his daughter. Perfect fit.

Videl is NOT Gohan's girlfriend. She's his WIFE. ever since the end of Majin Buu Saga. They have a cute daughter named Pan. (Not so cute in GT though..!)

Bit of info : Battle of the God takes place after Majin Buu's defeat, but before Uub's training. Trunk and Goten are still kids, Pan isn't born yet (SPOILER: she's the last saiyan needed for the god ritual)

and lastly... i'm not fond of the "it's black everywhere" style. Made the game kinda dull. Could you have put a mudic running from start to finish instead of a new one every questions? And use smaller ones for intro(main menu) and credits. Would have made enough space for a complete one for the rest of the game, don't you think?

zombievegeta responds:

i've never heard of super saiyan 5 6 9 and kaio-ken is not a form of super saiyan and videl had to gohan's girlfriend at some point of time because who just marries there friend out of now where and broly doesn't count as a different form of super saiyan he's just a normal super saiyan don't feel like explaing the whole reason why he's hair is blue and then green

[Alesia's Puzzle]

what's with the magicka gear?....

[Dig To China]

fun game. Liked it.

Here's some glitches I found.
1, if you time-up while using a bomb and fall on a mole, the game freezes.
2, if you finish the game (get to China) while riding a mole, the game freezes.
3, reloading the game let you re-buy the hat, even though you already have it.

Octopodo responds:

Glad you liked it.
Thanks for putting the bugs in a list! I'll try to address these when I find some time.
