MidnightDragger's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Incoming Fire]

It was all right.

I played until I got 1,000 points, that's about all I could handle. The music started repeating, so I quit. It wasn't bad, needs more content, or varying difficulty. Speed it up after a while, add more arrows. Something. Keep trying though, the concept is pretty cool. Kind of like those old hand held games, that could entertain even the idiotic of people for hours.

Thanks for reviewing i made this quickly and started to get bored and when ur bored u stop.. but i kept going and i turned out like this so its what you get...

[NSG003:HyperSpottheDiffer]

Not bad at all

I actually really enjoyed the game. I got a 58.. Probably not very good, but hey.. I gave it a shot..

Personally, I think the game would be a lot better if there was more that would happen, not just the seven things like now. And the applause does get a tad obnoxious after 30 some clicks. I honeslty don't think the game needs more detail, just more things that can happen in the pictures.. I guess that WOULD be detail..

I think the idea level would be great, but make sure not to have the game flash through them.. Make them hit 55 points or 60 points, whatever to go to the next level.. Some music is a great idea.

Other than that, I really liked it. Keep up the great work as always.

Bezman responds:

Thanks for a great, thorough review. Having you tell me your thoughts so completely really does help.

Also, I'm honoured to have you return to play more of my games. :)

The applause is almost definitely a mistake. I was under pressure to include sound and just got the best thing I could from flashkit.com.

Maybe for such a fast-paced game, no sound would be better... or maybe I could have it so that different notes of a simple tune play each time you succeed so the faster you play, the faster the tune. I don't know how to do that yet, but am sure I could learn...

Like I seem to do with everything I make, I will definitely update this at some point in the future, and have multiple pictures (not just the same picture with different differences).

I suppose once there's more pictures, folk won't have to look at each individual one for as long, so the level of detail should be sufficient. Besides, when the picture gets too detailed, it makes the difference harder to see and that would defeat the point.

I think what I might do for levels is have 2 different pictures to start off with, the game alternating between them but showing different differences. But then at 5 or 10 points, a new picture could be introduced and the game would flick between all 3. And every 10 points (or whatever) a new picture could be introduced, which would be added to the cycle.

I don't know if I'll add music. But maybe I'll be able to replace the applause with notes of a tune?

We shall see...

As always, thanks for the thoughts and props. :)

[Mc. Donalds Sonic Game]

Yeah...

There is NEARLY no doubt in my mind that you stole this off McDonald's webpage.. They had flash versions of 3 of their games on there for quite some time. And oddly enough, this is an exact replica of said game. Even down to the city in the background..

I swear to god, hope to die, that i did not steal this from the mc donalds

[MS04: Encapsulated]

352,701 Not too bad I don't think

Man these are great! haha I lost like 900 points on this one due to loses haha. I kept missing the timer and getting pissed and starting the level over. But man they are good..

AcidDimensions responds:

Well, you've obviously got the hang of keeping the multiplier running... ,)

Thanks again for the reviews and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying my Skears games. Hopefully you'll continue to enjoy my work. :)

[MS03: Musical Skears]

Remember me? haha

Sorry it took me so long to play this one..haha took a break from NG for awhile.. This one is alot better than the last 2.. Definetly.. My top score was 120015.. I ALMOST had you.. The bonus 2 stage was pretty tough, but extremely fun.. I'm about to run over and play the other one that I haven't seen yet.. I'll probably throw a review up there also

AcidDimensions responds:

Hey, it's not as if you signed a contract to play my games...

Hope you enjoyed your experiences in the real world. ;)

Glad to hear you consider this game an improvement over my previous work, as I do like to think that my skills are improving.

Thanks for the review and stay funky. :)

[MS02: The Second Coming]

I got 122956

I love these games.. you need to make more.. just add sound to the next one and you'll get a perfect 10 from me.. Also if it's possible .. make a level where the skeers change from purple to pink. I don't know if that's possible.. but I would imagine it is.. But yeah.. the first one was a tad easy..and this one was pretty easy the last bonus level I lost the multiplier 2 skeers before the end.. But yeah keep up the good work.. add some music or a sound when you get a skeer or something like that.. atleast add music that would be cool..

AcidDimensions responds:

Well done! That's a great score - my personal high score is only slightly better than that.

As I've said below, I will definitely be adding sound to the next one. Keep on making the suggestions and I'll keep on improving the game!

I'm not too sure about your suggestion about changing the colour of the skears though. (I presume you mean from 'purple' to 'red'.) I honestly think that that could end up a bit annoying for any player - imagine rolling your mouse over a purple skear just when it changes colour, so you fail the level.

Since you say that both the Mini Skears games were pretty easy, I think I'll make the next one a tad harder. (Just a tad though.)

But thanks for all the feedback and please tell me what you think of the next one after I release it.
