UncleDave's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Battlegrounds 2]

Nice, but a few flaws

1) the max number of men you can select at once is 12. Hero + 12 men = 13. You have to select twice to move all your men- annoying

2) too easy to just send the hero in, pull him out, and have apprentices/archers rain death while you just meander back and forth.

3) if you've got a castle, money is so easy to come by that spearmen/footmen become redundant

4) attacking a building shouldn't be automatic. it feels like a kludge that you have to shift-click away from buildings while you're dealing with orcs.

5) since money just flows, and you're never attacked after the first couple waves, there's no reason to protect your troops. just keep churning out royal guards and apprentices to replace those that die.

6) your hero is upgradeable, but no other unit gains experience with combat- it would be nice to have them "promoted" if they make kills.

[Core Salvage]

A good game, sure

but y'know it really ain't worth any money.

Its a glorified breakout, there's a ton of better games like this on the web as freeware, so its kinda time to wake up.

Kudos to you guys if anyone actually buys this, though. 7.50 euros for 25 levels, when 10 took what, 15 minutes? er... no thanks.

its a nice dream, but its not gonna happen unless you think bigger and make games people are gonna buy into out of addiction, not obligation. you know the ones, popcap/arcadetown churn em out at a decent speed.

you have obviously your author comments space, you may want to indicate that its shareware, a demo, and try and convince people its worth the cash.

on its own merits, i'll give it a 4/5, but as a commercial game, its nothing spectacular.

[Asteroids Remix]

Badly thought out

1) No preloader
2) Crappy music in the background
3) Asteroids that split and teleport the pieces to random locations
4) Having to click outside the play screen to respawn
5) Asteroids which move at ridiculous speeds

I couldn't tolerate more than 30 seconds of it.

lemmi tell u somethin...U suck

[Project: Monochrome]

Would have five'd

...if the last boss wasnt so goddamn tedious to fight.

Other than that, good game (4)

[ChromaBlast]

First impressions sucked.

Lucky I'm patient...

I'll just say this. If you only play the first 2-3 levels and give it a zero, you're a fucking moron.

It only gets good around level 6...

Suggestions: Keep the ceiling for most levels, tighten up the number of columns, and make the game a bit faster. Other than that, its really good :x

[Sakuni's Costume Dress Up]

Normally I don't like dressup games

This one wasn't bad... no gratuitous porno (like we don't have enough submissions with that in) and done tastefully and elegantly, if a little dull... but thats the genre's fault, not yours.

Incredible drawings, the effort you put into this shines, and I hope you do take the time to make a more fun game than a basic dressup since this experiment has so obviously paid off :P

4/5

TheMJ responds:

Thank you very much! Suprisingly I didn't put all that much effort into this one. probaly just as much as all the other ones and maybe a bit more only because of the extra features. Thanks for the review!

[Phil The Worm]

The graphics suck.

But the gameplay isnt that bad, its ALMOST fun. :P

3/5

[CC Fight Club]

Fucking awesome.

Almost as good as MuayThai/Disorderly. But still undeniably awesome.

[D-Fence the Game...]

Awesome.

Front page stuff, this is Defend your Castle only... better. The detail on the bases is great, it took me awhile to realise just how small everything was (look at the supports on your towers) and, well, awesome.

Just make the save function better :p

The reason it gets 9 not 10 is because of the grating sounds when you kill a cannon-guy, and the... wierdness or the airstrike bar. Fix those, and this is easily one of the best games on NG.

Nielzzz responds:

Thanks you liked it man! Those bugs are going to get fixed sometime. The airstroke does (sometimes) work, eventhough the bar is stuck! Greetz!

[Dr. Zoidberg Soundboard]

One quote you need

"OH GOD!!! MY SLINKY!!!!!!!"

Other than that, great work :p
