Candyshaver's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Breach]

Fun, few issues, but good game overall

I liked the game alot. I played through it in its entirety. Will say though it does seem to have a few things that quirk me with it. For instance, I like the sound of the gun, and the screen shake, but why doesn't Sergei's arm move with the torque of the shot?

A few other issues I had with it was that there were hangups where the game would zoom in on your character, and then no dialogue would initiate such as when you run into crew members.

I had a few issues with the actual play system, which was fun, but in all honesty was not the most challenging. I died on the last boss twice, only because I accidentally double tapped a direction to go in an ran off.

You did happen to place a few upgrade for weapons and such, but with exception to the 3 shot mode, there wasn't really a need to have the other clips laying around for the increased damage and increased rate of fire. It was a nice welcomed addition when I came across them, but I had already leveled up 15 times and was expecting more oomph for finding them.

Also, I didn't realize that you could hold down the spacebar to attack. For the first half of the game. Once I found out I didn't die. I'm wondering if maybe this game could stand to have a manual fire mode, then an autofire upgrade?

In terms of the suit upgrades I though the functions for them should of been dedicated to a another key beyond the movement ones. I found myself accidentally falling into goop and such when I accidentally double tapped.

Also, if you happen to make another one, and understanding this is a huge long programming issue in itself, I think it would be fun if you had actual mouse aiming in game. Right now the actual left to right aiming is nice, it sort of reminds me of an old NES game. But I'm thinking maybe you could use the aiming to your advantage to mess with lighting effect. Like the light was affixed to character's helmet area and he was just looking straight with it. If it were actually on the game, you would only have a cone of light. This could throw more horror and suspense in the game whenever you are in a dark room.

But other than that I will say this was actually really fun to play. Hope you come out with another. This kept me well entertained for over an hour.

[Zombies Took My Daughter!]

Pretty cool

I like the concept of this. Game play is a little bit odd for me for some reason. I think its because I keep accidentally buying ladders instead of swapping out weapons. The random city effect is nice, only problem I had was that I found Anna within the first 3 minutes of game play.

The idea of the mechanics for the game is nice, I sort of wish that the storyline was somewhat in depth. Also wish there was more of a soundtrack. The piano/violin song is good menu music, but drives me nuts trying to play through the game with it playing the entire time. Maybe if you replaced it with zombie grunts and maybe background noises and such. It would help build up the atmosphere. Overall nice job none the less.

[Red Storm Robot Day]

Looks awesome, but

The round starts while you're still reading in the menus and briefing screens. Forces you to start playing. Which I suppose adds to the starkness of the situation, but in honesties is irritating as hell. I reccomend fixing it quickly and resubmitting it. Otherwise I think this actually has some decent potential beyond that.

[Manhattan Project]

pretty addicting

Very fun game. I did happen to have a few issues with frame rate one I got to the later levels and my computer did slow down a tad though it shouldn't...

I will say though, after beating it the first time and attaining the atomic bomb I was a bit bummed you didn't get to use it yourself. Would like it if this game also maybe had a rerun mode where all your upgrades are on your plane early on. Great game otherwise.

[DIED HARD]

Pretty Decent

Nice concept here. I like how it upgraded and played this for like the last 20 mins or something. I will admit it was repetitive as hell though. You should maybe have some better level detail and have it so they're not all shaped the same. Maybe even have it so there is a bit of a storyline for a bit, or something. Anyways nice game overall, hope to see a sequel or improved version at some point.

[Superman Lego The AS Adv]

Halfway point

I feel this game actually has a lot of potential. I don't know why but i find it somewhat hilarious at times, maybe giving the game some more objective based feel to it. The map and controls were a tad confusing, in terms of turning and using your actual abilities. I think you could probably improve this through maybe having it so that you have one shot to get everything right. You mess up once, there's no going back. Lego people die, you lose points. Stuff like that. Overall hope to see this cleaned up a bit and maybe a free flight mode where you get to be evil.

[Starship Chopper]

Decent Game

I enjoyed this game a bit. I only have a few ideas how you could make this better though. I think it would be good if you added more settings to the bottom. Also I think it would be nice if you extended the type of weapon combinations you have going on in this. Right now this game is a bit too simple. I think also it would be good if you found a way to incorporate the mouse into the control scheme of the game. Right now the way you have the the arrows and asd keys are nice, but I think it would be much more comfortable using a mouse.

Another thing I think you should do is speed up this game a bit. Right now its just a tid bit slow for my tastes.

Overall though good job on this.

[Seven Deadly Sins]

Great Job

You did a great job on this man. I missed wrath and the game just ended up freezing on me for the final day after all my time was up, which was a bit irritating, but the rest of the game is good. I think it froze because I was firing people at work when my time ran out.

[The NG Study Buddy]

Awesome

Dude this thing is awesome. I got stoaked even more when I heard the Chobits theme song (track 7). I hope I can use this at some point for studying. Sadfully I dont need it as much anymore because I'm an English major. But keep up the good work.

[Madness interactive]

This game rocks except for the bottom of the scree

When i play this game i realize its awesome. It just needs to have the newgrounds link removed from it and another 2 inches for play room around the dude's feet. The reason for this is because i accidentally keep clicking off screen whenever i got to move the mouse around. Nice game though.
