Galneda's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Newgrounds Rumble]

Straight-tens, voting 5; Fantastic craftsmanship!

I believe others before you have wanted to pay tribute/immortalize the NG celebrity in a fun, almost "Super Smash Bros." meets "Mortal Kombat" kinda style, only to have failed in the light of lack of creativity, and slip-shod effort.

THIS PIECE, however, brings an immersive, interesting and (most importantly) new and fresh take on popular, familiar characters without losing their original charm and personality. All were given justice to their own credit (even nifty links to what made them famous for noobs who just look with puzzlement.), I thought. Each ending appropriate, and gave the player an initiative to dive deeper into the game, unlocking with their "Grounds Gold" and what-not.

The artwork was impressive as you get to watch your fighter and opponent walk, jump, crouch, and duke it out on each other. At times, I forgot I was even playing a flash game; and I was oddly reminded of the likes of the craftsmanship of proffessionally made fighting games like Guilty Gear.

The villains were all portrayed differently from the perspectives of character to character. The two exceptions being the menacing Piconjo, and Convict. Piconjo was portrayed brilliantly as the menacing Bizzarroesque counterpart to Pico, wherine I think this game shall have a lasting influence on his persona for quite some time.

The items and powerups spiced up the game tremendously to draw away from incessant strong or weak button-mashing; something that previous attempts at a similar game design have ignored, and ultimately fouled their own game. Air and ducking combo's helped vary the fray at your disposal, and also made the opponent that much more unpredictable...therefore, more challenging. :)

All in all, I loved it immensely. It probably will never leave the top 50, and will be enjoyed by the recirculating NGer's for years to come. Excellent work!

[Demonic Defence 4]

My poor, unfortunate clicky finger...

Arrgh! Addicting as hell, liked the style of the game...I was a little pissed though because when I finally got enough for the Dragon, I felt ripped-off because I had to actually physically tell it to shoot somewhere...ARRGH! I have hordes of armies coming after me, and I couldn't even figuire out how to get the dragon to just so much as shoot randomly into them! I'm like "AIM FOR THE GODDAMN STICK FIGUIRES!!! NOOES!!!"

All in all, another good game, dude. Voting 5.

[Capt. Low-Rez: Blastopod]

Made it to the black-hole dude...

Damn Tom, this flash game is helluvaddictive...I love it! Voting 5!

Say, d'you think that a Captain Low-Rez game is a possible console title?

That opening logo reminded me of Thundercats...

Anyway, ADDICTIVE as HELL! I love this game! The farthest I got...I think was the Quints...DAMN good game, I'm gonna play it some more after typing this review.

Good Job, voting 5.

[Extreme Farm Sim]

Addictive as hell!

Loved the game, man! All I can really say constructively is it needs a secondary weapon for those UFO's that are out of reach from the shotgun because oither UFO's are in the way. It also needs some other element besides farmer, cow, and UFO...it just needs something else...

Either way, this flash was great! I love it, and I shall continue playing it when I am bored! Thanks and Peace Out!

[Splooge Invaders]

2216 is my high score...wave 10 is a bitch, dude..

Surprisingly, that game was addictive as hell!

Good replay value, nice characters, funny dialouge, and all around good game! Near perfect score, voting 5!

Peace Out, Cycon, and keep em' coming (no pun intended...okay, yes it was.)

Phobos Technology, Phobotech.

[Megaman vs Ghosts&Goblins]

Damn challenging...

Huge Oldschool Megaman fan myself, I have to say your game was a good one. I haven't played Ghost's & Goblins, but I heard it was harder than hell, and this game was pretty difficult; I died twice before I got to and beat the boss. All in all, the sprites were really well done, you really had to emphasise on the DOWN part in order to do the slide, and sometimes it was difficult to charge a shot. The sound was also really good, and again it was a challenging game. A big round of applause for you, my man. A game well made, and I thank you...it woulda been cool to have more bosses though, but I'm sure that making this level was hard enough, right? Perfect score from me, and Peace Out.

[Mr Fox]

Wow! Original and challenging...I like it!

Very different to newgrounds! Old timey 1920's thing going on, appropriate visuals, dialoug, and music, and I've never played a side scrolling game from right to left. It took me four tries to get to the boss of the first level, and I can't beat him so this is a good game. Perfect score, great work man! And Peace Out!

"Boy oh boy, that game was swell! Golly gee!"
