Renegade-Hamster's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Advanced LightSaber Tut]

Before you do a tutorial...

It's probably best to do a search with the search engine available on this site for any that are like it.

There are MANY lightsabre tutorials on Newgrounds, and making another one would be redundant.

This was okay and it said a lot of the things people need to know when making a lightsabre, but I would hardly call it advanced. You have not included what sounds to add and when, you haven't talked about other effects (such as a throbbing glow of the blade, a glowing ball of light near the handle, lightsabre clashing effects, etc), some of the graphics are shocking (the little man, sabre handles, no backgrounds), and I think you could have included a nice little example animation to show what it's supposed to look like when it's done.

Good music choice. Good, dramatic stuff from Star Wars.

But on a whole, this tutorial is redundant and not as good as it could have been.

1/5

tyLen0L responds:

Sorry,but if you not have seen the ATTENTION Frame saying that i gonna do the other lightsaber effects that you showed in your review in another tut named Star Wars Effects Tutorial =).

[Kill-a-Cat]

It's okay

But I'd suggest adding many more things to do with this cat.

Plus, make the killing animations more gory.

2/5

[Mario's Adventure!]

Good emulation

But here's another glitche you may not have known about:

Collecting lives does not seem to matter. When you die, you return to the menu straight away, and when you click on continue, it takes you to the same level each time, even if you aren't up to it yet, and also if you have passed it.

The music was a little annoying after a while. Perhaps you could include a function to turn it off or change between music tracks, or otherwise change it more frequently as levels are passed. For the ten or so levels I played, it was the same music all the time.

It was a great emulation otherwise.

4/5

64 responds:

Yes that is one glitch, the 1st checkpoint got a bit messy, but I will fix that shortly. Then it will take you to the level once you actually get there. Glad you enjoyed though.

[Super Marco, Level 005]

It was okay

I have no idea how to script these things, so I've got some respect for people who do.

Everything about this is good (graphics, music. etc) except it was way too easy.

Because of that, I didn't really enjoy playing. Sorry.

2/5

Bofred responds:

pah 2/5 for 1 1/2 years scripting work, thanks

[Foamy: CarAndCellphoneAds]

Actually, I found this funny

Could have been much better with some good graphics, (Not the actual drawings you did and said to add colour to make it look real. That's part of the humour). With the images you downloaded, cut them out properly. It just looks really crappy how you've done it. e.g. Germaine image.

Might also have been better with a background other than plain white.
Maybe you could have downloaded an image off google and traced it!

I still kinda liked this. It's not like Illwillpress hasn't been made fun of before, but you made some original ways of expressing your gripes with him.

2/5

Sorry you have to put up with the Foamheads. I like Foamy as well, but I have enough brains to know most of Illwill's toons are crappy, so I'm not going to swear my lungs out at you.

hamandcheeseclock responds:

thanks. Finaly a good review. Also germaine was like that porposly.

[Hurlin' Earl Halloween]

It doesn't deserve it...

But this made me laugh.

I voted 3/5

[SS - Ultimate Quiz]

The quiz doesn't work

It wouldn't let me see the first question.

Test things before you submit them.

0/5

MushroomT responds:

shut up.

[Custom Hero - basic 3]

I'm sorry about your corrupted file...

But I can't cast a sympathy vote for this one.

The best part was editing my character, but the actual gameplay was kinda boring. There was no way to dodge enemy attacks, the game's reaction to my key pressing was slow, most enemies went down without a fight because I could keep hitting them just before they would hit me.

It was pretty laggy.

Good graphics, and great action scripting knowledge. It's a shame the file corrupted, because you could have made this into a good game.

2/5

[Create Your Own Murder.]

Okay drawings

Not a lot of fun to be had, though.

Some of the items weren't above the characters (knives, guns) and they didn't have hands, so it didn't look like they were holding them.

I like how when you picked up an item, it left a mark behind. That was a little touch of class, I thought.

Now, I don't know if my computer is stuffing up, or what, so I couldn't hear any sound. Sorry if this actually has music.

1/5

[Dragonslayer v1.2]

Meh

Good graphics and great action scripting, but the gameplay was pretty boring, and there was no way to defend myself. I slowly, but surely, died and decided it wasn't worth playing again.

Sorry.

2/5

You can defend yourself by holding your mouse over an incoming fireball and tapping space. of course, you would have known that too if you read the instructions.
