josh-tamugaia's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Samurai Autumn]

First impression... Armor Games... wow.
Graphics and music are all great.
Then I played the game. It's just jumping and space bar on a one-dimensional platform.
Seriously.
As for the combos, it's just jumping on the enemies in succession. Very little skill required to do that.

Still, it is a well-made game but I don't feel that there's much to it.

The game itself is ok. No flaws in my opinion. Graphics are ok, music ok, gameplay ok.

What can be changed or improved in my opinion:
1. a more non-childish theme. the characters are really chibi mode or worse. The red characters is similar to a Japanese Daruma doll... Most games are like that now and not sayng it's bad, but really, I would have preferred more realistic-looking characters with real heads, necks and weapons. Really looks like something a 4-8 year-old kid would like. And when I was that age, I wouldn't even care to watch cartoons that look like that. I'd think that they were for girls or even younger children, and switch to stuff like ninja turtles and robocop and transformers. You know what I'm sayin? But maybe it's just me and some people like me and maybe the newer generation of people like this kind of stuff and design. If that is so, even then, this kind of theme would be suitable for non-violent games such as puzzle, adventure... but this game is clearly a Battle game and I was expecting something cool, and it turned out to be childish stuff... at least to me.
2. while gameplay is ok, there's not much to it. It's just clicking and clicking. If you are catching onto the point-and-click trend, well you've succeded, but to me it just feels meh.

But once again, the above points are just my opinions and feelings. That aside, you've made a solid game. I don't mind the ads at all, as I understand the hardship of flash game developers.

OONi responds:

Thank you for your review. The Ungoy character was in fact inspired in a Daruma doll! Good job.

It's unfortunate that you don't like the theme, but it's our style and it's what defines us. We do have some people that like it, and they are not only kids. For more realistic themes there are lots of other options as well, so we are lucky that we don't have the need to please all interests.

Finally, we must point out that this is only a "prototype" (hence the name). We are working this concept to take it much further, and hopefully people like you will enjoy that game too.

Thanks again!

Very nice and very very very underrated. To everyone involved in development team: Keep up the good work and may you enjoy good tidings!

After staring at the screen for a long time, I will start to get really dizzy...

JoUBG responds:

Trust me, I know ^_^ I went through about 100 versions of this thing so I've looked at it a ton :P~

[Trid]

The game is well-made but it has a great flaw in my opinion. During the initial levels, there's no challenge. I just need to follow and click. And then when it starts to rotate, I would have been in the higher levels where I have only a few seconds left, so it becomes near impossible not to lose out. So it's like too easy too easy too easy too easy... BAM... too hard. At least for me. I really believe the difficulty should increase gradually instead.

Kenney responds:

Thanks for your feedback! I tried to ease people in into the rotation but it's hard. As you say yourself there really isn't anything between rotating and not rotating, it does level up gradually and limits the rotation at the start - there's not much more I can do. Still, thanks for your review and playing the game!

[Addicted Labyrinth]

Very well-made. Added with a cool theme, this could be a hit!

[Zombie Dead Marsh]

Not a bad game at all! It has a scary atmosphere! The problem is mostly with the sluggishness of the gameplay. These days, FPS games use the mouse. But still, it can be fun.

[416 - Chapter 3]

Not bad! The character graphics are too simple, IMO, but the whole story gets more and more exciting. Although there is room for improvement, and this is just a visual novel game where the player cannot control anything, I'm still gonna say well done!

[Sub-Orbital]

Ah cool!

I like it a lot. I agree. Seed = more fun!
