Kwing's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Glitch Lab]

So lame... Graphics and music are unremarkable, and while neither of these are important, either could have salvaged this from being an overall bad game.

The gameplay is so gimmicky - almost like This is the Only Level, yet it claims to be glitchy. No, this isn't glitchy. Goat Simulator is glitchy. I noticed no actual glitches in this game, which is a real shame because glitch exploitation is actually quite fun. Invisible platforms and flashing colors, however, are hallmarks of shitty indie rage games, and I really don't appreciate that this is an imitation of those. To be fair, this game was neither hard nor frustrating, but I am really upset with the false advertising. The ending was also cheesy and fake as fuck, and not in a cool or funny way. Points for concept.

[Gap Monsters]

God I hate puzzle games like this but this one is so well done I have to give credit where credit is due. This is brain-bendingly difficult. How the hell did someone come up with this? I really like how there's a significant difference in difficulty between a star completion and a normal completion. The gameplay is simple yet clever and varied, and has the potential for both skill and strategy-based gameplay. The graphics and sound are simple but don't need to be complicated. What little physics do exist in the game are coded well.

I really can't think of anything that this game needs. Possibly more of a plot, different themes, or a better soundtrack. Other than that this is really amazing.

[Super Ninja Party Pooper]

Wow. What the hell Vince? Simple repetitive graphics, music, and gameplay. The one life system is annoying, but worse the fight isn't good to begin with. All you do is shoot, jump, shoot, duck, and repeat. I had to dodge the bear a grand total of once, otherwise it was just a really brainless exercise.

[Talk Head]

Fun to work with, but limited. I would have liked more faces and more detailed descriptions of the things the mouths can do - frequently I encountered sounds that weren't listed on the mouth positions. Overall easy to use though, and I noticed the syncing worked impressively well. Kind of annoying that the most viewed syncs are actually blank, but that's not your fault.

Add more faces and more graphics. Otherwise this is really neat.

Also major lol when I read you coded this in AS2.

[Little Cannon]

I've noticed a little bit of lag while playing in addition to the physics being slightly inconsistent and the levels very difficult. One level in particular simply required an inordinate amount of waiting as your ball moved so damned slow. Others required two precision ricochet shots in a row that were just tedious. The presentation and music are fine but I just can't seem to enjoy this game that much. Maybe if it were easier to get used to the controls. If you could fire based off of the mouse's distance from the cannon it would be easier to play systematically, especially if the game showed the angle of the cannon as you aimed.

[Manamancers]

I want to write something complex here but I feel like I really can't. You've got some nice cutesy graphics and shit, but in the end it's just another Bejeweled clone. I used only minimal strategy when picking my moves mainly out of boredom, and felt most players were doing the same. The online factor is really a gimmick more than anything but worst of all the upgrade thing is just a video game trope that you tacked on for replay value.

[How I Buy Petrol?]

Thoroughly enjoyable. Very simple game, easy to play, and I really like the style with the black and white. Music was quite entertaining, and the minigame made me laugh.

The biggest annoyance is you can't just click on doors to go through them; you have to click really close to them and hope he walks to the right place. Other than that this is pretty solid.

[Fate Machine 1.0]

I'm giving this a 2/5 because it lacks content, not because I dislike it. Too simple in its animation, sounds, layout and everything else, you could have done more than plain text.

The name and description were dull, but the destinies were funny. Am I supposed to bitchslap the government, draw penises on Satan's panties, or summon the Pyramid Head? (It also suggested I rape lolicons. That's eerily coherent.)

[#Escape: The Waiting Room]

Polished but incomplete. I won't say anything about the graphics/sound/interface, I think they speak for themselves. What bothers me here is that goddamned username and password. Since when do usernames have a space in them? Couldn't you have just changed that character's name? God. DAMN. THAT. SUCKED.

I'll also say the game is too short and too simple. Not enough to do, not enough items. Also you can collect those little labels indefinitely... Lolwut. Storyline could have gone somewhere but it literally doesn't say more than 'some guy lost his memory'.

Aprime responds:

Usernames can have spaces in them...

Thanks for the review!
