DJMannekin's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Amber Helix]

Added to favorites. Why? This is one of those games that is well done, but it has that dreaded length and difficulty so I need to play in intervals. I WILL finish this game. It deserves a higher score, which means you need to make a sequel that has improvements and leaves out the problems that this game has (user comments state them pretty well)

Good work

AmberHelix responds:

I have done some work on a sequel, but I still want to update this game more before I start doing that for real. =)

[POOPER]

I liked the part where the guys poops

rhys510 responds:

XD same!

[Icy Gifts 2]

AMAZING! Such an improvement since your last Icy Gifts. Features, graphics, music, you name it this is golden

SilenGames responds:

Many thanks!

[Gap Monsters]

excellent

i must congratulate you on your valiant efforts. its a simple concept overall, yet it is so mind boggling. The humor all along the way is something you mr nutcase my friend, are great at.

with that, we know your potential. I think you have found a career as a game designer.

Nutcasenightmare responds:

Thank you, I do enjoy game design!

It's like birthing a baby so precious,
that I can charge other people to play with it.

Overall a worthwhile game!

9/10
2 things I have to say. (I couldn't make anything like this so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.)

I would have either made the top section easier, or the bottom section HARDER (I suppose I'm referring to the mutations). Basically I had one foolish struggle on the top path, and blazed thru the bottom path. If you don't I would designate the bottom half EASY and the top HARD. I can't Count you down for that I'm sure this wasnt your intention at all!

Also... I quite often died at the hands of the pointer going of screen, so with that the only thing I can think of is an option to switch between arrows and mouse, OR to add a full screen as to not allow my mouse to get off track. That my friend, is the only thing I can count you down for!

Other than that its obviously an impressive game, I keep coming back to play it again!

Squize responds:

Thanks mate. The thing with the top / bottom paths was that I wanted the top one to be more for the shooter fans ( It's the way I prefer ), and the bottom path to make killing the baddies harder but you have more protection.
Either way I want people to be able to complete this, it shouldn't be some nasty endurance test, there's no fun in that.

As to keyboard control, it's something we looked at, but we'd have to ease the ship around, otherwise it'd feel clunky, but then you lose a lot of the accuracy the mouse gives you. Mouse control gives it hopefully more of a casual feel, along with auto-fire. With the controls, and the difficulty, we were trying to make a bullet hell shooter that isn't just for the hardcore.
Oh, tried full screen mode, ran like a dog, we lost about half our frame rate.

Thanks again for the review mate.

Sorry jackass

but the "Survive" game u said was easier than yours
WAS in fact FUNNER than yours
maybe he can give you a few pointers :P
it cuz you so blatantly said such things, that you deserve a low score

jaked122 responds:

I'm sorry that I'm consistantly a jackass occasionally, I would change my review of his game if I could, but newgrounds doesn't allow me to.
