pirateplatypus's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dravity]

It's a really fun concept. I think the controls need fixing. I personally hate using space to jump and shift is a goofy reach. I'd rather jump with w.

[Pothead Zombies 2]

It's really well made. The game is quite enjoyable. The graphics are nice. The gameplay is smooth and fun.

But, I really dislike the overall tone. Labeling 'potheads' as zombies strikes a bit of a nerve. Baseless pot head bashing is quite annoying.

leonardozimbres responds:

On the first game I would agree with you. But on this one, the zombies are all kind of people. It is more a fun-hipotetical-situation, like first Romero's film, where all dead people are rising from their graves for no reason.

[Just A Random Day]

This is really fun. The graphics are nice. The sound has a mute (I usually just listen to my own music.) The controls are intuitive.

My only complaint is that you might want to tweak the collisions between the bullets and enemies a bit. It seems certain enemies are very difficult to hit, particularly the cherubs. They aren't difficult to hit because they are moving or anything, it just seems like their collision area doesn't match up real well with what you see on the screen.

[The War Cry]

The graphics are really nice. I have no clue how good the game play might be.

The custom cursor moves so slow that I lost interest in playing. If you either optimized the game so it ran better, or allowed me to disable the custom cursor I think this game would be a very good game.

[N3rd Boy]

It seems to be really well done. I just couldn't get into it due to the controls. Had WASD have been an option I'd have a hard getting away from this game.

knarrenheinz responds:

Good suggestion and thanks for the review. Shame on me for not putting WASD in there D:

[Super Simpsons World]

It's shovelware. With a little originality and some polish to the game play this could have been worthwhile.

[Notebook Wars 3]

It's a great game. There are a few problems though.

It seems to run slowly. I don't know if it's the game or Flash but it gets slower the longer you play it.

I didn't play the NG version enough to check but on NotDoppler there was a problem where the first screen kept flashing onto the stage in the middle of playing levels.

I also think the frequency of bullion drops needs to increase greatly. It takes far too long to accumulate bullion considering one of the ships costs 30 and you might get 1 per stage if you're lucky.

[snake mario bros]

The jugar button doesn't work. Aside from that, the opening menu looks terrible. The buttons are pretty ugly and the fonts don't fit in the boxes very well. I'd really like to see devs stop using the whole "Slap Mario on it!" routine. Having Mario on your game doesn't make your game any better. It actually makes the game worse and in turn makes both the sponsor and dev look bad for not taking the time to create their own game.

sorry buddy this is my first game is a job that I was commissioned in school but thanks for the comments

[The Silver Nugget]

It won't play for more than 5 seconds without buffering. I'm on a 22 Mb connection so there really shouldn't have to be any buffering; at least there isn't with Youtube, Hulu and the like.

Kenney responds:

Must be your connection though, we've tested with over 100 people and nobody had any problems. You might also want to check your video codecs, make sure you have the most common ones installed.

Still not a reason to review 0 stars, if it wasn't working correctly for you how could you review?

[Gravity Duck 2]

This is a very fun game. It's even better than the first. But the controls are pretty bad. I personally don't like using the arrow keys. And above all, it's annoying to have to advance through the menu between stages with the mouse. This would have been a five if not for the controls. It's still a great game.
