T-H's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Boss Bash]

Immense!

I can remember seeing your prototypes of 2 of these on the forums, awesome stuff, my favorite was definately the DD remake, great take on all the graphics, although I was dissapointed to see abobo looks pretty normal as opposed to looking all peachy and retarded like he does in the original! there could definately have been comedy value there! I was also confused about what the question mark buttons do on the main menu as they didnt appear to do anything in perticular. Each game played brilliantly and I would definately like to see another one of these with some other classic bosses if you ever get the time! :D

BoMToons responds:

The Q mark buttons just choose a boss randomly :P I would like to do more, depending on how the response turns out to this one. Generally I don't cater to the "fanboy' demographic, but these classics are close to my heart.

[World of Dreams]

This game is huge

Its annoying how underrated this game is by score, the level design and artwork is genuinely beautiful! The boss fights were very creative and vehicle sections well done. Great choices for the soundtrack as well, it all came together really well to set a mood for each location.

The only small problems I had were that the players weapon felt feeble, and the camera felt twitchy at times, it would also help to be able to look downward before falling off objects. Apart from tweaking the mechanics to perfection I cant see any real room for improvement gameplay-wise here, and the graphics were brilliant.

A fair amount of work must have gone into this, and it sure has paid off, great job!

Paranoia responds:

Thanks T-H! I'll be sure to flag some abusive reviews on your stuff once I'm done responding to these :P

[Defend Your Temple]

A Hanukkha themed game! How original

Can't imagine that this has been done before, good job! I liked the way you could move around too, that broke it out from the traditional "Defend your" games. Happy Hanukkha

FrostedMuffins responds:

Hey T-H! Thanks a lot for the review. I'll cover Hanukkah and you've got Christmas ;) I loved your game collaboration.

[Santa's Game]

Yay

secks

Rustygames responds:

Indeed
Thanks

[dd2005: spam invaders]

Awesome

Some real nice touches, loved the Bedn boss, pandas, how Denvish was a Dog/squirrel thing, and how you kept it BBS themed, funny shit.

decent challenge, was lacking in the sound effect department (though voice clips were legendary) the slight co-op element gave it a little twist too heh.

What else to say? artwork was all good, title page was nice but a little scruffy in places, not really anything major though.

Overall, great effort, best game of the day!

authorblues responds:

thanks. i didnt anticipate doing a full game, but i thought it turned out nicely. the sound clips turned out better than i could have expected.

denvish = mongoose. that shouldve been cleared up...

[Denvish Day: Teh Ban Bin]

Pretty good

Nice game, decent concept and graphcs to go with - esoecially the electric shock . Nice effect on the revolving stick, one of those ones that gets you wondering about how its done heh

The glitch from before is still present though, the enemies hop around the screen, youd said this wasn't lag, but it would have been worth looking into, because its rather annoying. Not much has been added since the beta, some extra features unlocked through scores might have been a cool addition, but it does fine without.

Overall quite nice, lacked a tiny bit of polish, and perhaps some extras, but decent submission. Congrats

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

the revolving stick was just rotation, the registration point was the center of the screen. Not too complicated.

Ok let me explain the lag thing.
I have my sound streamed to force the right framerate (plus it makes it easier to control the sound). Occasionally it will need to catch up on a few frames, skipping code and in-between frames. Apparently flash updates their x and y positions, but like skips the direction changing code when it needs to catch up, so they blip to the walls if they are close enough. There is no way to fix this. And i only had this happen once to me.

[Final Defense]

Awesome

You've taken the classic "defend your..." genere and squeezed every bit of coolness possible into it. Awesome graphics, explosions are great, runs smoothly, and well coded. Long as hell, and loads of gameplay on offer with just a feckload of powerups extras and enemies, decent learning curve too.

All in all just great, the soundtrack was very slightly annoying though. In just over a week's work too!

Rustygames responds:

Heh yes I think we pulled off a good a game as the genre would allow. Thanks for the great comments

[Trick or Toad]

Fun little game

Nice little game, fun to play and obvious attention to detail, some good picks for the music, original gameplay ideas, and you get bonus points for that lovely little surprise in there :D

Denvish responds:

HAH GOTCHA

[Nightmare Castle]

Potential

Sucks that you had to rush this, graphics were awesome and there was a lot of effort in the level design and castle layout. Could be really awesome with a little polish on the physics and movement, biggest letdown was sound though, fucking terrible sorry : )

Worth another attempt, as this really could be amazing.

Rustygames responds:

Thanks. I do agree but we had a week and thats all we will ever have (we will not be updating this further) Look out for our next game though
