"I'm going to admit I don't get it"

submission: Telekinetic Eric

date: July 8, 2008

The controls weren't very good (it was hard to move things, Eric can't change directions midair and you can't move things he's standing on). Also, the overall setup is kind of creepy: you play a shirtless old guy wandering around inside what seems to be some kind of dungeon. I can't claim anything explicitly wrong with this; I just didn't find it very fun to play. Sorry.

"I liked this one better than the sequel"

submission: Ringmania

date: July 7, 2008

This one handles better and is less frenetic. Both are good games, but this one has a more leisurely feel.

Score: 9

"Good!"

submission: Ringmania 2

date: July 7, 2008

But could you tell me how to enter level codes?

"Inexplicably fun"

submission: Slug Designer

date: July 5, 2008

This thing had no right to be as fun as it was.

"Um..."

submission: PipeTwister

date: July 4, 2008

Pretty good game, but you never got around to providing the passwords that will let people jump to levels they've already been to. Also, there's a bunch of gibberish typed under "Click to Continue" (which I'm going to assume is not the password because it's about a hundred characters long).

Score: 7

"Okay then"

submission: Adair Tishler Unblammed

date: June 25, 2008

The potential here is vast... but untapped. The idea for a game based on Newgrounds is incredible, but there's nothing here except the framework. You need in-jokes, level bosses (the 'Shoot Wade Fulp' preloader game was a step in the right direction), power ups, the works! Let your creative spirit latch onto those memes and DON'T LET GO.

Score: 8

"Loooook Into My Game"

submission: Spiral Generator

date: June 24, 2008

I liked this. It'd be nice if there was a way to reset it after generating a spiral, so I could go back into the game and make modifications to the data I'd already entered.

Score: 10

"Thunderdome of Love"

submission: |~SpeedAnim:BattleCool~|

date: June 7, 2008

Simply because it's not going to come up later, I loved the enemies in this episode (I assume Maloc is off somewhere nursing his permanently broken nose). My favorite was Random Guy. In the tenuous borderland between the Fourth Wall and Reality, there's an infinite amount of sympathy to be had for someone named Random Guy, whose dialog appears in pink. I hope he's recovering well.

I've watched all your NG movies, and this was the darkest (previous record holder: Love Us Forever). What separates them is that Love Us Forever seemed (at least to me) to be a genuine study in despair, whereas this feels more like a walk on a tightrope in a war zone. I have to wonder what Spike and Kiki do when they're "off duty" and not fighting in the battle arena or acting out something for the Director. Do they watch television? Play board games? What sort of dynamic do they have when not under a high load of stress? I'd love to know.

I'd also like to thank you for the nice message you sent me after I reviewed your last short. In the off-chance you should feel inclined to write me another, I urge you to invest the time in the pursuit of sleep instead. Judging by the amount of Red Bull you drink, and the amount of time you spent on this, you haven't had any for awhile. Take a nap, for God's sake. You've earned it.

"Some tips"

submission: D-Struction

date: June 6, 2008

This is a very good concept, but I think it needs some work in practice. The ball handling physics were the thing I had the most trouble with - the ball would either get stuck to the ground or shoot up outside the game's field of vision and just sort of stay up there. Also, I think it would be beneficial to check your spelling.

Best of luck to you!

"Solid"

submission: Ninja Destroyer

date: June 5, 2008

Loaded quickly, worked fine, and was fun to play. The only thing is that it would be better if it looked like the arrows actually shot out of the bow. Something to shoot for.
