SoulOfDarkness's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Robo Run]

Cool Game

Looked like a mashup between VVVVVV and Sonic at first, obviously because of the gravity shifting and spring-spike elements, but not to say it's a bad thing :)

The engine is solid, haven't seen a bug or a glitch in the hourse spent with this one, the controlls are super-responsive (although C and M wouldn't be my first choise of buttons to use on a laptop- (I was allways messing around with the touchpad).

It's not that hard, but the 'extreme' challenge took me a couple of hours to complete (not it a row, played for several days). It was challenging enough to be worthy of being called a challenge, and fair enough to keep going.

A must-play for any platformer-maniac, especially if you liked V.

Some advice:
It could use an insane challenge like 'collect all the colored blobs, not die AND do it faster than in 400 secs', but that mey just be me.

And the music wasn't that great, you should go for something more upbeat and 8-bit sounding, maybe different melodies for different stage types.

[Final Battle 2]

Promising

Extremely well built for a flash-based game, looking forward to see te future of this project.

Come construcive critisism:
- It would be nice to see the enemie's HP.
- Use the top of the screen for the menu system, and please, make it at least a little larger! I know it fits the style this way, but it's a pain in the ass to navigate.
- character mugshots would be awesome.

P.S. Bug Report: The menu will not reappear after using a Phoenix Down if everybody is alive.

[Virtual Keyboard V. 2.0]

Thanks Man!

Thanks to you i learned how to play the zelda and mario melodies )
took me half an hour to learn them, wanted to try the kirby melody but my neighbours started to knock in the wall =P

IF you're still making another update, then add more songs. Not only VG - it would be nice to have some mobile phone tunes.

And you should make something like a progress line. It takes a while to get to the point that you don't understand, and if you want to hear it again, you need to click through the whole song.

Cheers!

[Chuck Norris vs. HELL!]

bad, but continiue uprading it

First of all, the only attack Chuck can perform is a ROUNDKICK!
the graphics are pretty lame, but it's in one style. Add _y movement, give the enemies different bodies, make location scrolling (add a variable to count the number of enemies you've destroyed) - there are lots of things to improve
Grab the idea, and work on it.
If you need any help - pm me.
Cheers,
Soul Of Darkness ;)

[Blue Tower- demo]

Not bad... for a demo

Interesting idea, and well-scripted as well.
Needs sounds, background music.
Storyline is missing.
Get to work, if you're not to lazy, post to me when the final one will be ready

Privet. I will mail you.

[Four Second Fury]

Greeeeeeaaaat!!!

I was first on the score! for, like 2 minutes! 143 and 144!

[Sonic Sceen Creator]

hehe

I'm sory, but this was bad, and it would be blammed.
There are 2 resons: 1) no style, sprites are all blured, the animation was awfull, and the music was terrible. 2) scene creators are overrated.
Ow, and if you used a tutorail, let me know ;)

[Terrorist Hunt v5.1]

Another quality entry by my favorite author

I realy liked that!
Graphics -
Everyth was draw pretty good, you've selected the best scenes
from CS, the guns were pretty good to.
Style -
You could make different types of enemies, and more leveles,
but still it's good. But the difficult levels were all the same/
Sound -
This is your strond place. Dont change anything
Violence -
It's a CS emulation, so try to add blood and different dying types
(make a gotoAndPlay(random 10 - 30); or something)
Interactivity -
I don't agree with te guy below me, it was very interactive ( but
you could make bullet traces)
Humor -
This one don't need humor, it's great without it!
Overall, it's a good flash, waiting for terrorist Hunt 6.0 !

[Capture the Flag v1.1]

good work

Persoonaly, i liked it. The guys from NG like violence, sounds, good remixes used. Try making a computer-controlled player, kuz it's kinda boring. Make missions. Make differentdificult levels. ow, and i was wondering: what tut. did u use for walking and jumping?
