Kajenx's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[- Music in Motion -]

Nice!

I love playing your games because every time it seems like you progress and the game is a little better than the last. I like the simplicity of this game; some of your more recent stuff is really difficult to pick up and I had to just stop. I had a few problems with it though.

On the platform part, when you jump, you can't see the ground, so you can't time landings. If you actually land on a platform, it's just luck. I found it to be more frustrating than challenging. Also, in platformers, a lot of tiny platforms to stumble over can get annoying. If you timed it to bigger platforms with larger leaps I think it would be more fun. Also, collectibles! Have some coins spring up on the higher notes or something! :)

The falling blocks was pretty fun. If they stuck around longer, though, it would be more interesting because you would have to climb them. As it was I was just dodging them.

The circle level was cool, except I had an insta-death on a spike, so I'm not sure if that was right. I liked the feeling of running around the circle though.

I wasn't able to get to the last one because I didn't want to play the first one again. Anyway, it was a good idea, and implemented fairly well! Can't want to see your next one!

Not bad.

This is a nice idea, and I enjoyed playing it. I didn't play for very long though, because it was a bit slow. By the time I got to the sea floor, it seemed like most of my fuel was already gone, and if I went down more than one "room" in the coral, it would be near impossible to get to the surface. I realize the upgrades will speed this up later in the game, but I didn't like the prospect of going up and down 3 or 4 times before I can really get into it.

Miluska responds:

I had to agree with you on this one .. the game is a bit slow at the beginning .
but as soon as you equip your submarine with torpedos and better engines it is much more fun.

Dude...

Slow down! You're making all of us look bad! I haven't come out with anything yet this year!

*cough*

Anyway, the game was actually really fun. At first I was just shooting at everything like crazy, then I realized, "Oops, my cyberpunk dome shooter thing is moving..." So, of course, I lost; but it was funny.

Hmm...

It's some nice coding and animation sync, but it doesn't work too well with the current gameplay. Remember, with flash games, a player wants to play uninterrupted for 10-20 mins. Anything that makes this next to impossible will surely frustrate him/her/it. Try making it so the player has to follow an alley and collect coins, or if they hit obstacles they lose points, rather than dieing. I died about 10 seconds in on each try.

[Sheepy.]

Meh

It was too repetative for me. Counting sheep really isn't all that fun. Nice graphics though, it made it last a little longer for me.

[Grid16]

Great!

I liked this WAY better than the 4 second games. Nice job! I liked the endless mini-game idea. It wasn't too complicated, and if you messed up it wasn't an instant lose (This is usually why I hate those mouse avoider games...). Even if you aren't very good at the game, you still feel satisfied in the end, and that's more important than anything else.

[The Unfair Platformer]

...okay...

It's funny for a minute or two, but other than the concept it isn't very good. The graphics could use some work, and the platforming engine is lackluster...

If it was just a platform game, I wouldn't have been impressed. It's a nice idea, but I don't think it was implemented very well.

[-Elements-]

Hey!

It was a good concept, but I didn't enjoy it as much as some of your other games; I also felt a little lost as to what was going on. This feels a lot different from your normal partical blasting style (you aren't going soft, are you?!) so maybe I just like your action titles better. Still, it wasn't terrible, I just couldn't get into it...

[Coil]

Hmm...

Vary strange, but I suppose that's to be expected, eh? Great job!

[SHIFT]

Cool!

Cool game! Reminds me of that Yin Yang game from Nitrome, though a little different. A nice twist on the classic platformer. I liked the spy theme too.
