Malade12's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[:the game:]

I'll be frank

It is a good game, but it disappointed me a lot. I was expecting a funny platformer, and right from the start, just by the plain white character, I knew their would be some mind buggling comments troughout that game (don't ask why, I just knew it! XD) It reminded me of The Bright in the Screen or Valve's Portal, or even Hunted Forever... you know, somethng messing with your mind, with sarcastic comments and all (you may not see the point). I digress.

The thing that disappointed me was that the game objective was kinda stupid. Always killing your character. There were good jokes, and a good psychologic approach, but at some point, you got bored of the sameness of every screen, waiting to see what you would come for every new "game". That kind of stuff, different versions and running gags could have been in a movie.

It was long, and it started to be repetitive. I'm open-minded and I don't want to say that I got pissed after the three first levels, I played it all the way through, but I was always expecting the quality to upgrade, to have some objective.... It was mainly jumping down the platform and wait for the sarcastical-political comment you'd have to say about it.

When I was controlling two character, I would have liked to have something special to do in order to die, you see? It got pointless, and I kept hope until the end. And in the end, all I got to say is that you put a lot of work in a deceiving way: you thought of all the jokes instead of innovating a little gameplay around it. Maybe it was your intention from the start, all I say is that it lacks some originality in a certain way (because I agree that the "sayings" were quite original.... if it was not just for that...)

Anyway, made me smile in some parts, so I give you points, the graphics were really nice, the effort was there. Bravo!

[Pillage the Village]

So addicting

I can't get off that stupid game, man, I'm gonna play this all nights on week full of exam! xD

(The secret antagonist spell is pretty lame, I thought it would desintegrate the villagers but it barely stunt some of them..... really, the anvil stays the best way to crush villagers! :) )

[Buccaneer Battle]

Ok...

I get killed during the captain and squid battle but I start from the beggining? No way, add a save feature, it is such a great game that it's a shame that you must redo all from the start.

[The Timewaster Ultra]

A genius game!

Looks like an impossible quiz to me! ;P Keep doing tricky stuff like that. The walktrough is a good idea since when you get annoyed, you pass it. That's something the impossible quizz lack......

[Reincarnation: ADDO]

Awesome\

Each time I see these point-and-click/puzzle games with that much quality in theme, I'm always deceived by the shortness of them. If you say that this is shorter thant the next will be, I'll be happy :)
The voices are perfect. The demon is pure EVIL! (and a whole lotta fun, too!) but the game a bit easy and predictible, but it is hard to say what should be improved. Maybe more complex riddles for each stage, because there is like three things to click by stage...

[Catacombs.TheLost Amphora]

It was easy in the beginning...

and then it got boring. But cool anyway. nice music ;p

[Dad 'n Me]

One bad

Could use a checkpoint feature, or a health recovery thing :( Got killed by the annoyings ninja...

[The Dead Case]

YOU got the points!

Man, that is a pure masterpiece! I see you really want to satisfy the gamer, make the game the more conveniant possible: making a FAQ, adding the arrow thing, having a help fonction, a map, everything. The storyline is really great! Discovering people's death is something so thrilling!

Good job again!

(the only complain is that Rick and Dana are getting together, the drunk bastard and the character's chick! Man, that sucks. But I see there's a lot of morale about forgiving and responsability and all that stuff, really well shown without being abusive. Great work)

[Tom Vs Saw]

I'll rate a 3...

Because you shouldn't be blamed on my like. But I'll tell my opinion anyway: That kind of game (and movie) are sick, mutilating yourself to survive, it is free violence and sadism and all, but that's what the game is about, I know. The graphics and effects are quite good, the puppet animations were great, so I give you points ^^
I'll now try the death scene, just to see if it's better. I'm sure I'll play again if I see any other of your work, just by curiosity ;)

But I maintain that Saw are stupid movies qualified as "horror" only to make a lot of gore shots.

JonRichardson responds:

If you hate saw movies why did you view this animation if you knew you weren't going to enjoy it. I did put a warning at the beginning of the animation

[Bright in the screenCHAOS]

Glitch

In the third level I think, where you trap a red freak, the first black button: when I walked over it, I passed on the top area, and I was stuck. COuldn't kill myself neither, you should add a reset button for the level.
