Napalmed's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bird Smasher 2]

Great.

This game was funky! I liked it. The graphics were nice, kinda reminded me of Dr. Seuss. :P I found the controls easy and the music wasn't annoying. I really liked how you turned into a cactus to hide, and he started sweating before he went back. This game is fun! I have no complaints.

[The Red Dwarf Game]

Not bad.

I actually expected this to suck. It looks like it's gonna be a helicopter clone, but you did it with arrow keys and fuel which was good. For some reason, despite the fact that it looks even while playing like it wouldn't be fun, I played it at least 4 or 5 times before getting bored, so whatever you did, it worked :D

[Paradox's Mousemaze]

Pure Awesome.

What more needs saying?

[[AG] Dodge Ballin']

Fun game.

This was well made, easy to start off, harder at the end. The AI was good, didn't see any glitches and the game was easy to control. The graphics in the losing scene were a bit lacking, but not horrible. Overall, it was a fun little game.

[Bacterio Plankton]

Alright.

Way too slow. Other than that, fun, original and well drawn.

[XCrisis]

Not good.

This game could have been great. But there were so many flaws and glitches. The level design was horrible. The terrorist HQ was drawn horribly. For some reason, you made the walls thick and two colours. The only thing this accomplished was making half the wall invisible so you would constantly keep hitting it. Then, throughout the whole game I couldn't stop being annoyed by how the dot didn't even stick to the mouse! It stayed about a centimetre above and to the left. This was incredibly annoying. On top of that, the levels were stupid. There were no different things, just the same over and over again. This game was actually so boring and flawed I stopped playing.

[Cruno]

eh.

It wasn't too bad. There should have been a button to turn off the music. Apart from that the game was alright. There isn't really anything wrong with it, it just isn't that fun.

ChiChiGoober77 responds:

I agree with you about the music button, thanks for the recommendation and I will add that to future games.

[Mouse Avoider 2008]

Good game.

It was a fun game, but too short. The last level was really glitchy. You couldn't beat it without cheating, because one of the keys was fucked. (It opened a door that was already open, and left the last door closed) However, cheating on the last level was easy because for some reason the walls didn't work properly. Apart from that, the game was quite good.

[Indestruc2Tank]

Awesome.

I loved the little reference to Castlevania SOTN there.
What is a tank? A miserable little pile of indestructibility!
All you needed was him throwing a glass of wine away or something. The rest of the game was awesome, just like Indestructotank 1. Thanks for the awesome game.

[Art of War 2]

Good game.

I liked this game, but it seemed almost unfinished.
Bad points:
- With only 4 reinforcements, the game gets old very quickly.
- The levels go for way too long.
- Your gun should go from one side of the screen to the other. Those men with the darker hats (I dunno if they're SS or what) don't seem to ever stop shooting, and their gun shoots only a marginally shorter distance than yours. Once they started shooting I found that the only way to take them out was to go around them, or go above them and throw an grenade.
- You take too long to respawn. When there's two tanks and 2+ infantry past midway, you die as soon as you respawn. This made the game really frustrating.
- Your team is practically useless. The infantry and machine gunners never move around, so to be effective there has to be an enemy unit on the same line as them.
- Your team is all in the same spot, one grenade/mortar takes them all out.
- Considering how bad guns are in this game, grenades/artillery fire are over powered. Now, while realistically they are probably underpowered, when you have enemy units constantly throwing them and tanks constantly firing them, and on top of that guns only shoot 15-20 metres, they are way too strong.
With all these frustrations, I couldn't help but think how unrealistic the whole scenario is anyway. I mean, why would the army send one man with a few possible reinforcements against an ever increasing attacking army consisting of grenadiers, riflemen, machinegunners, artillery and tanks? I know it's just a game, but when the game has so many annoying points, things like this just add to the frustrations.
Good points:
- Good graphics.
- Enjoyable gameplay.
- Original concept.
- Good music.
- Polished.

So overall, it's a good game but with many setbacks. Also, assuming this is a sequel to Art of War DX, it is unfortunately nowhere near as good.
