savlo's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lander (game)]

nice implementation

...pity about the off-screen crap.

[Full Board Minigame]

Very Addictive game

When I saw the 28k filesize I thought `another blam point for me`.

And 10 minutes later I was still playing it.

If this is an original idea, it is brilliant. On the chance of this, I gave it a 5.
If it isnt, well, issa nice implementation anyway.

Criticisms: the sounds a bit fuzzy and some good techno music
would enhance the game.

[Asteroid Energy]

Good if an original idea

I havent played too many video games, so I dont know wether this
is based on an original idea.

The gameplay was well executed and the sountrack was right.

When I saw that this had got only 1.9 I gave it a 5: should be
around 3 I think.

It could be improved in many ways: the `entities` could pulsate, change colour and make digestive noises when sucking energy.

Why not combine `fuel` and `energy` into a single factor: `energy`?

The ship is a bit small: 50% larger at least.

Major irritation: the ship seems to be lost off screen a lot of the time. (I realise that fixing this might be a big job).
Dont remember seeing a radar screen. (If u cant fix the off-screen
problem easily, have a small radar screen that is visible while some key is depressed)

[What the Hell is it?]

Brilliant

This is a sort of flash version of those `what is it?` picture
puzzles you get in newspapers.

And it is expertly done: neat, clean and clever.

I can't think of any improvements. The choice of soundtracks feature was a nice touch.
There should be more stuff like this on Newgrounds: i`m sick of
all the pointless adolescent crap.

WARNING: SPOILER FOLLOWS.

Some of the pics did make me wince tho, specially the` grape` that turns out to be an ugly blister.

Thanks a lot! :D

[Nightmare Before X-Mas]

A playable game with real atmosphere

This game captures the atmosphere of the original game.
The music is haunting, and its all in all sort of relaxing to play.
The gameplay is reasonably good, and Jack's motion is nice,
(except not being able to jump while stationary was for me a bit
frustrating).

The main con in my opinion is that the game is much to easy: I went right through it first time (definitely a first 4 me!).
Also, it would probably have looked better if the objects/ man
had been bigger. (this small-neatness reminds me of one failing of novice cartoonists.)
All in all its a real ARTful effort: keep it up!
