Bertn's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dodge.]

Simple, great, adrenaline!

Read those 3 worth in the title, they say it all!

But, because a review of 3 lame words would be kind of dumb I'm going to give you some more details:

The main idea:

Wonderful, this is like an old school "Meteorite shooter" but you don't have to shoot yourself, you just need to use the bullets of the enemy! Simple but great, you're a genius! :3

Graphics:

Simply great! Very basic but that's what it has to be. It's a simple concept with simple graphics. This makes it even grater. I do like how you worked out so much details, like the splinters of the enemy units on the background and the explosions. Simple but great graphics, just as it has to be with games like these!

Sounds:

Haha, I just bought a new CD so I was playing that while playing this game and put off the sounds but, specially for this review I put off iTunes and played the sounds and I wasn't disappointed. Great sound effects and addicting music, it fits perfect with the game! Great choice, good job!

Gameplay:

Great, addicting, great, wonderful, the best!
This is just crazy, the unit moves so smooth and good, it's really fun to play. But besides the good gameplay it's just all made so perfect, the units, the bullets, everything is worked out very good but still kepped simple and plain.

And besides all these great things there's another thing, ADRENALINE! Wow, flying between those bullets and those units, seeing that there's a green unit who's about to explode and while checking that trying to hit other enemies with bullets, wow, crazy and addictive!

This game has a great title, a great score, is addictive, is kept simple, it's almost perfect!

Keep up the good work and also, please listen good to this last advice and keep it deep inside your mind:

DON'T MAKE A sequel! You will ruin the whole idea, now it's good because it's simple but if you want to make a second one you'll have no choice but have to make it difficult and others so, please leave it with this, you did a great job but don't fuck it up by making a sequel. (:

[Griswold the Goblin 2 CH1]

Great graphics, a little bit boring after a while.

Current Score
3.95 / 5.00 (+ 0.0025)

Great game but after a while it really gets boring.

I love the graphics, great drawings and good quality. Most of it is motion tweening but you did it very good. Everything went smooth and I didn't found any lags, great job!

You also used some good sounds. I also liked the music, it fits perfect with the game, good choice with that!

The idea and the gameplay kind of disappointed me. You had some original things in it but most of it was kind of boring. The idea wasn't really original and it would have been a lot better if there was just some more action, not only waling, walking, walking, walking, click, walking walking walking, click.
That really gets boring after a while and I already was talking to Lumberjack but I just stopped playing 'cause I didn't felt like it anymore. (:

Still, you did a great job with this game, the graphics were awesome and the animation is really smooth. The action scripting is also really awesome, it maybe looks basic, clicking and cursor but everything is really well but together. (: Really great point 'n click game! :D

Bertn

PS: I guess the reason why I thought this was kind of boring is because I never really liked "point 'n click" games at all.

Phantasmagor responds:

There wasn't much motion tweening at all actually. Lilg much prefers to do everything using frame by frame and occasionally uses motion tweening where appropriate.

We're glad you actually put some thought into your review and put some thought into scoring despite not enjoying the game. If you're not a point and click fan then obviously this isn't the game for you :P

Thanks for the review

[FPS Performance Preloader]

Good idea, good scripting!

Very nice done,
when I saw the title posted by P-bot I thought, "like wtf, a preloader that won daily 5th" so I directly clicked the link to see what it is and yeah, it really is daily 5th worthy!

I like how you scripted everything and the fact that you even put the Newgrounds thank in the preloader, that makes it even greater. (:

I really hope game makers like ArmorGames will use this preloader 'cause it will make it much easier for the player.
They probably won't use the Newgrounds Preloader but could maybe make something with the same AS but their own logo.

The reason why only give this 8 stars and not a 9 or a 10 is because this is still only a preloader. It's very well done and you did a great job but a preloader stays a preloader, I'm sorry for that. (:

I would like to give a very big, detailed review but as it is just a preloader there's nothing much to say about it. ;p

Bertn

PS: The graphics and the music at the end were good, lol. :3

jjwallace responds:

alright thanks, i was hoping to get review crew.. hahaha, no no just kid, i will put the new version up later maybe

[- Impluse -]

I don't get it...

First of all, I don't get what you want us to do. We have to click on "brain cards" and hope we select the good one or else we die? I think that idea is kinda lame but yea. ;D

Graphics:

That's a positive thingy, the graphics are awesome. It really gives me a nice 'secret' feeling :3

Sounds:

Good music, nice voice acting and good sounds, couldn't be better. (:

Gameplay:

Like I already said, I don't get it. The gameplay is really boring. This game is like a stupid gambling thing. :p Also, I know you looked more into a story line and graphics but don't make a game then, make a movie with the same story line. :3

I'm pretty sure that if you make a movie about this it would have been a lot better 'cause the gameplay of this game just sucks. (:

Good luck in further projects.<3

[The James Bond Game]

Good game :3

It was fun to play, even if I sucked hard. (score: 836 xD) But yea, the graphics are nice, the gameplay is fun, the bonus is also good. I really liked the James Bond tune, it's wonderful. :3

I also liked the menu with the bullet, good graphics, good job.

Anyway, I still have some suggestions. :3

1. Make a game in the same style but with a story. A game where we have to shoot other agents to complete a mission or something like that. :)
2. I liked the way the hand and the gun moved but ad a 'shot sound' and a shot movement.
3. Time bonus? Make a target that gives a Time Bonus, that makes it even more fun :D
4. Gun upgrade! ^_^

Nothing more to say I think, good job and keep it up.

funkycaveman responds:

nice suggestions but when i add more to a game it become worse, so adding a time bonus and gun upgrade i would probably mess up the game, but with my 4th flash game it is gonna be a lot better.

[A Rather Warlike Adventur]

The graphics sucked but it was fun! :3

Yea, the graphics are really bad but I had fun playing this little game. I liked the password system (Really good done) and the music.

I also liked how you mixed platform with above screen.

Look, make better graphics, do some more animating and your game will be very nice. Your AS is good so just pump up your drawing skills and I think you could be a good Flash maker. :D

Bertn

MentalAtom responds:

The music was chosen for its puropse and i am gald you like it. I do need to improve my drawing skills your right. But the graphics arent everything

[Dibblez Fishrider]

Good game, nice graphics. :3

It's a basic game but I liked it, the graphics are nice, the sounds are funny and the gameplay is good. (nice gravity.)

And yea, at the beginning it was kind of easy but at the end it was really hard. I only made until level 9, 920 points, but still, good game. :D

Still, here are some suggestions:

-ADD MUSIC :D
-make highscore? :3 (not on the Internet, personal high score would be nice.)
-The black and white looks nice but I think some colour would also be good.
-Upgrades? You could let the fish take upgrades so he gets a shield for some time or swims faster.

That's all I think, good game and keep it up! :)

[Dress'em v1.0]

I like it :D

Normally, I'm not really into dress up games bit this one is kind of good. :3 The character is funny and there are a lot of clothes and stuff to chose so good job. You used the best song that has been on Newgrounds, ever so good choice. :)

It's also pretty funny that you can make Adolf 'fcking' Hitler with this dress up game and give him some other funny clothes to make him look stupid! xD

So overall, great job for a dress up game, keep it up and good luck with your next submission, Otto! :3

AhhhrrBertn

Otto responds:

My next submission should be yours too!

[Ninja Hunter]

First game? AWESOME! :D

This game is wonderful, nice graphics, nice sounds, wonderful idea, just perfect. :3

There isn't much to say about the game cuz it's really good, I like the way the ninja moves and the way you can kill the other ninjas.

The animation is also really smoothie, and the survival mode is just the best and fun! :3

So for short, totally awesome game, keep it up! :D

Bertn

PS: make one with pirates next time, ahhhrr?
