pirateplatypus's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Defense Ghost]

I like the basic idea of the game. But the controls are pretty laggy/buggy. I think the text needs some proof-reading in a few areas.

[Tony Hawk: ZERO-G!!]

The past reviews are right that this game sucks. But I don't think they realize that that's the whole point. It's still infinitely better than the last Tony Hawk game I played.

[Have you got the balls?v1]

I think it's got potential. It could be a really fun game when finished. But as it stands, it's not really something I'd play.

[Simple Snake 3D]

This is much better than the 2d version.

[Simple Snake]

It works just fine. There are two changes I think really should be made. First, there's no score on the screen. If the game has a high score board it would make sense to show the player what their score is as they play. The other is that the apple pictures are pretty bad. The white outline around them looks like it was cropped out of a jpg. It'd look much better if you either did a more thorough job cropping the pictures of drew some from scratch. Other than that it's pretty good.

[Letter Weave]

I think this game has potential but it needs some work in a few areas. Although written very well, the instructions are too damned long. I think you could get it down to a paragraph or two and still have all the necessary info. The controls are a bit erratic when you're selecting letters. And the game seems to just go to a blank-ish screen after level 10. All in all I think with a little more work you'd have a killer game. I quite enjoyed the levels I was able to play.

instructions have been drastically changed!

[Papa Louie]

Well done. The jump and speed of running take a bit to get used to. It kind of reminds me of the old Skunny games.

[Colonization]

It's simple but I like it. Though I did notice that the number of moves increments on every click regardless of if you actually make a move or not.

[Gear Up]

The only upgrade that has any effect on the time is the gearbox. Even then its effect is negligible. I couldn't tell any difference between the cars. This would be a much better game if that was fixed.

[WWII Soldier]

It's well done for what it is. But I kind of feel like the concept has been done to death. It'd be a much better game if it had more to it like being able to take cover, buying upgrades, and a story.
