Dankdadd's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spiderman in Philadelphia]

Simple animation really, not much of a game save for the one choice, can't really tell what's happening in the 2nd ending to be honest. Was mildly funny overall, but I can't say I was especially entertained by this. The train and bus sound effects were actually pretty good.

[Beat The Stimpy]

Pretty decent for the equivalent of a GIF with sound. The animation was a little rough, but for the time this looks good. Doesn't have much to it obviously.

[Granpa Whoop II]

Very funny game, and it works quite well overall, but has few drawbacks. I thought that the art looked pretty nice for an old grandpa, kinda reminds me of the way political cartoons look. The music was well placed too, and the punching sound effects didn't get annoying although they were a little repetitive.

Now as for functionality of the game, I can't say it was perfect. The stamina bar was a good idea, but grandpa here doesn't have one to balance things out, so you run out of breath rather quickly while it's impossible for him to. The main game breaker was that there was no way to tell which direction he was blocking in, so there was little strategy besides luck to hit him. There was a major exploit where you could hit left over and over again with a little timing and knock him out without any other strategy involved.

[Big Or Small]

So as far as I can tell some of the games didn't work at all. Yidden group never gives you the option to choose the group of numbers that you were going for, therefore making it impossible to win. All this game is good for is explaining some arbitrary rules to games that don't even function properly.

On top of that getting into a menu is super inconvenient whenever you want to roll again as it puts you back to the table menu. It's unclear as to which game you're playing at any given time as you click on the table and it zooms in, and doesn't have a header of any sort. To top it all off there is no sound whatsoever, making this an extremely boring experience.

Going to google and clicking the random number generator was more fun than this.

[Scooter Game ENHANCED]

Pretty much the same thing as the previous version of this game, but with keyboard control and some things to do stunts off of. Didn't look all that impressive, and the score was cut off at the bottom.

[Big Wow]

Kinda funny actually, and it tells you some interesting things here and there. I like that you acknowledged people would cheat, but you could very well just not and have this game be a bit of fun. There was a chance to get the same question twice, which I feel shouldn't be possible in the same game, but whatever, free point I guess.

[CS Newbs: The Game M1]

Pretty shitty shooter as there isn't any challenge and it doesn't look good overall. The music didn't really add anything to the experience, and some parts didn't even work properly. It was mildly funny to see some of the lines "I love camping in this corner" and whatnot.

[AD&D Engine - Fighter]

Fun and pleasant overall, but it's so broken.

The art and music added to the experience, and the story was pretty straight forward and basic, but there were a few complications and contradictions that pissed me off, so much that I took off an entire star for functionality purposes.

The game is very luck based, and that's fine, but I feel like you should always start off the same at least, so that building your character is strategy to combat the game rather than luck from the very start. (I know you can roll your stats when you make a character, but since this is an abridged version of it, you really should've focused more on the experience, rather than accuracy.) The Gold you get is also an annoying feature, it's just unbalanced as there is no way to get it besides chance, it would be much better to start off with more gold based on charisma instead.

Some stats were just plain useless, like it said I could read at the start, but when I got to the tree it said I couldn't, also that riddle was pretty bad as it was too ambiguous. In my experience with D&D also, you tend to roll for everything that uses your skill, so should you roll for passing the knight and convincing the priest to hand you potions? Shouldn't charisma effect the conversation with the orc?

There was also a chance that when you got hit, you would just flat out die, even if your health was full and you took one damage, you'd just fall flat dead. This is a game breaking bug.

However for some odd reason, I didn't find myself too dissatisfied playing it. Maybe because I could tell the effort that went through it. It'd take a lot of chance to make it through, worsened by the fact that you can instantly die. This was shy of greatness honestly, could've had full stars if not for the significant bugs.

[Create-A-Ride]

The first proper game in the construction set genre, most before this just plain out weren't any good, and were lacking enough content to really fit in.

I overall enjoyed this thoroughly, as there were many options to chose from, and a fairly good art design overall. Why a punch buggy though? Was that a joke? I sure hope so.

The backgrounds actually having something to do was a nice touch, though simple, added more depth to the game overall. (my record for the reaction time was 0.613, can't get any closer T_T)

This game did quite good due to it's attention to detail and fine tuning a lot things other flash creators neglected, such as music, variety, and adding more later.

[Safebuster]

Nice game and watch remake, shame it doesn't have retro graphics, I'm a sucker for those.

Overall it was fun to play, and mostly balanced. Sometimes he would drop bombs at an impossible rate to get them all, but if he didn't the game would go forever, so, it's fine.
