TrueDarkness's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Santa Rockstar:Metal Xmas]

Not bad

Very well done. Graphics are great, appears excellent.
My only two problems are that the sync is sometimes. Call it calibration if you will.
And, the music chart is just wrong. Seems like you just placed random notes everywhere. Notes that were high were on the lower keys sometimes and then when it was a lower note you went up to higher numbers. Found it odd.

All in all, a great game, really well done, just needs a few kinks worked out. Good job!

Rofl.

A game where you're like. What the hell did I just play?
But at the same time, you realize its awesomeness. Great job. Totally enjoyable

[Trever's Street Walk]

There's nothing wrong with the game at all.

Everything was actually pretty perfect. It did not scroll too fast, the amount of power to kill the enemies made it challenging for the player. The controls were what they were, and everything was fairly clear and the controls were smooth and easy. The gameplay was pretty clean cut.

It was mainly the art that really brought this down a lot, sorry to say. The background was too plain, the characters were too simple. Things weren't drawn as well as they could be, so that definitely took away from the value of the game.

All in all it was an okay game, an idea done many times, executed fairly well, very unprofessional feeling, but worth a look.

Honest review =]

[Doom Triple Pack]

I'm baffled

That's pretty awesome. It's as smooth and real as the original. Haha, the cheats work too.

iddqd, idkfa.

That was one of the first things I tried. I'm guessing that since it's recompiled, EVERYTHING will be the exact same. I'm very surprised you got the rights to do this. Nice job.

2.92?

Are you people crazy. Not the best game but completely undeserving of such a low score. Lots of effort clearly went into this. It plays great, feels great, runs great. Great job. A cool game, something to play when you're bored, definitely worth a look, I enjoyed it.

My only complaint is the controls are very unfriendly. I didn't like them , but from what I can tell, I think you can set them, so thats a SUPER plus.

PhobiK responds:

Wow! thank you for your comments, I'm glad you liked it. To read this makes me think it's not so bad :)

[Dandy.]

Wow!

What an innovative and skillfully stylish game. I enjoyed playing this very much, it was a lot of fun. Very high replay value!

[Music Catch]

Haha, wow.

I started playing thinking, there's really nothing special about this. But it really is beautiful, haha. When it ended I just sat there like, wow... That was.. just, so epic. IT really was great, I had a lot of fun playing it and the music really flows through your ears in this one. I loved the piece you chose a lot, and the way you made the game work was original, fun, and really relaxing and colorful. I had a lot of fun with this one, put me in a good mood. Great job!

[Mystic Ball]

Room for improvement

Well, adding 140 phrases does a good job in making it slightly more original, but it's fairly obvious to see that this is pretty much just like every other "8-Ball" type game. The graphics were mediocre at best, and there wasn't really a point to it when you could just type in random words, or none at all. It's like, why even include a text box? You could have easily said "Ask a question out loud and the mystic ball will hear it and answer."

I think one thing original that you could have done with the textbox is, make it so that it recognizes what's a question and what isn't. To do this, you'd have to make it recognize question words in the beginning of a sentance that are yes and no related (Am, Are, Is, Can, etc). This would have made it a whole lot more original.

I give you a 6/10, but I think you could do a whole lot better on this.

Hamster-at-Dawn responds:

you raise a fair point but I can't help feeling that you've misunderstood the purpose of it. I like the idea about recognizing questions and I'll definitely consider it although I plan now to move on to bigger and better things.

[Contour]

Very pro!

Incredible scripting. Very Fun. Very, very nice level editor.
10/10
Great concept and everything. This flash was just really well done and it looks/plays great. Great job!

[Synapsis]

Incredible

This type of game is done just the way it should be. Incredible art and animation, very challenging and puzzling, and very fun, with tons of things to look at on the screen. I enjoyed this a lot, great job!
