Dankdadd's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[learn- percentage loader]

A nice flash tutorial to help those who want to be creators at the time, I thank you for you effort and kindness. Though it's obviously dated now, I'm sure this helped quite a few people back then.

[Forester]

My favorite game about shooting gay rapists in the Amazon... well it's only one I've played so that statement means nothing.

It kinda reminds me of the Binding of Issac game play, where it's a bunch of random rooms and you gotta fight through them, definitely not as good though for obvious reasons. I feel like this game's main flaw, ironically enough, has nothing to do with the bizarre concept, but rather with the slow movement and turning speed and the fact that you could only do one of those at a time. If you could turn and move simultaneously at a faster pace, the game could be much better.

[The Lloyds:Memo-Re]

A game of Simon with your characters plastered onto it. I can't really enjoy it because of all the obnoxious noises they make, and the random violence they take when you click on them. I prefer it with just the colors...

[The Holly-Lloyd Squares]

Not really even a functional game, I'm assuming this was just a bad joke from the animation series you had going on. The concept wasn't terrible, but not original or well done.

You can't understand a word they say, but the questions don't change, so it isn't that hard to get the right answer. The background spinning was a terrible choice, it just wasn't easy on the eyes. It seems like you put some effort into the art, but honestly they look disgusting.

[Escape From Balmoral 3D]

Most of this game's quality comes from the humor in it's premise rather than it's actual functionality.

I found that you couldn't actually win because the exit never opens, but hey, it was funny to get beaten up by the immortal queen. I noticed another error where you can walk through walls and off the map, and also you couldn't get passed the queen when she cornered you, so it was kinda lame to get trapped and KO'd.

[normal tetris]

I think this was an open source one, or out of flash kit, but either way there aren't any new concepts, and I've seen some things very similar to this one already on the portal. It's functional Tetris. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Metal Slug S]

An attempt... and a failure.

So the concept seemed rather good honestly, a run and gun in flash would be awesome, but the execution was really poor overall. "I set out to make a game, not a pretty game" really just seems like a lame excuse.

The bugs were numerous, grenades were thrown when I didn't have any, enemies wouldn't die, I wouldn't die, I could fly across and past the entire map, walls would get clipped into or ignored. Really a buggy mess, near not playable, but the combat was moderately good for patterns and dodging and etc.

The controls were odd. Why not make up jump instead of shift? Why not fix the collision instead of having caps lock re spawn you? Why would you fire with control and grenade with space when you really should reverse those?

Really a failure of a game here, but hey, it did well regardless, so good for you!

[Play Time with Fred #2]

Kinda sad really...

So it's kinda like a pet sim, but with with somebody who's severely retarded. The art was bad, but the concept was much worse since you murder him in cold blood. Kinda fucked, doesn't even fit in well with the violent humor of the time.

[s1nt3ch's shooter]

So this is a frequently used concept in 2002, a side scrolling shooter isn't very original as there are several on the portal very similar to this one. However I will acknowledge the effort you put in on the art.

Noticed a couple bugs right from the start. Enemies spawn on the top of the screen where you cannot go, ships can die multiple times without fading, and you can infinitely hold your shot. Combining the last two you can jack your score up super easily by moving slowly backwards with a ship in front. I ended up getting a few hundred thousand in 30 seconds.

[Galactic Warrior]

Pretty generic with the whole Galaga thing going on. It's short, repetitive, and really offers nothing new to the table. The sounds were repetitive as well. To improve try increasing the screen size or slow down the enemies, because right now they can fly in and kill you before you notice them. It would also be nice to have a visible shield cool down.
