Hamy-jamy's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Solid Straight Pool]

Liked

Well i love playing pool in real life so when i saw this i thought it would be something to definitely check out and i am glad i did because you have brought the game to flash wonderfully, my only concern is that there was no sound effects for when the balls hit and there was no background music option to listen to while playing, but besides that i thought that your graphics were good and you made easy controls that the user could pick up on quickly. Overall it was a lot of fun, very enjoyable.

double-stroke responds:

Thank you all so much! Sound is in fact a heavy thing and I always thought that it isn't that important. But that maybe was just a thought to prevent to be faced with that task. However, the absence of sounds seems to be the main critique, so I will fix it ... and post a new version as far as it's done. Thank you all. Dirk

[Smithys Quest]

Liked

Well i wasn't expecting what i got when i loaded up this file, it really was a great surprise and it put a huge smile on my face from the moment the gameplay started. This resembles any roleplay playing game that was out on the super nintendo years back and even the gameboy, it had the music that suites into the style and the graphics are even better then what they were back in the day. This really was heaps of fun to play, i loved how you added in a bit of adult humor as well it really gave this a flash gaming feel and the depth was quite remarkable. Overall you really have impressed me here, terrific style, one of the best representations of an actual gaming genre that i have seen in flash.

EggysGames responds:

The whole point of this game was too keep you smiling with unexpected stuff, so I'm glad it worked :)

[Defend Your Mom!]

Liked

Great work on this game, i thought the style of the game was what made it so much more enjoyable i mean i had to go and show my mom this just after mothers day because it was too funny to resist. The weapons were all really cool and the pickups made the game even more interesting and challenging. The music for the background was well selected and suited the high pace feel of this game. The way the user could select what they looked like was also a nice added bonus. Overall it was a cute game that i enjoyed a lot.

Kart-Man responds:

You showed your mom this? Cool! Wonder what she thought of it... :D
Thanks!

[Space Invasion]

Liked

It saddened me that i enjoyed your loading screen as much as i did, playing around with the cigarette lighter proved to be quite entertaining. Not much that i can really critcize you on as it is pretty much the same as the original spave invaders, maybe the music was alittle too much, what was up with the voices stopping as soon as you shot the ufo? i didnt understand that at all. Overall a good version of the classic.

lol ty :P

[weight gainer 2]

Liked

That was an awesome idea, i cant believe you have come up with something that is so creative. The way the character grew the more candy you feed him was also a nice extra touch. The way the speed got faster too was unexpected but well received. The animation of the character was simple, but was also pretty cute. The music in the background was intense and i could have sworn that it got faster the closer i got to the goal amount. Overall an enjoyable game.

[customize a gun part3]

Liked

I don't know much about types of guns but by the looks of it you seem to have included nearly every gun imaginable! great work with the detail of each one as well. I thought the musical choice were good and kept this entertaining. The only thing i would add to this would be a character that i could display the gun next to.

SilencioHotz responds:

thanks

[ZX35 Flash Synthesizer v1]

Not bad

Well this was a cool little gimmicky interactive flash but really i had no use for it and wasn't able to play anything because quite frankly i didn't know how to. I think to improve this your going to need to give us a few sheets of music that we can try with the keys, also some solid beats in the background would both bring up the energy levels and make whatever the user inputs sound better. Overall it was a solid synthesizer that was just missing an edge over the others.

S-S-X responds:

That sounds like a great idea. Perhaps I could sort of integrate DDR in with this?

[Vengeance of Toby Prod]

Liked

Man, it takes some imagination to come up with a game like this and i give you props for it. The idea is simple, give em the bird before they give it to you, but there is just something about this game that is just ultra witty and fun. The instructions were a nice inclusion, and the gameplay was simple. I liked how you added in an extra touch by putting the disgusted sound effect from the people and the perfect office like background music.

allemansing responds:

This review is not at all the response i was expecting on this game. I'm flattered.

[3XA: Flight of Death V1.5]

...

Well i like the idea although adding in the ability to shoot, would make this alot more entertaining, also i seemed to be hit by the objects even if i didnt actually touch them, so maybe there is something there you can do to restrict that. I liked the song selection and also including a mute button was thoughtfull. Your graphics were good, i liked the background it was nice and simple. Overall this was fun and i liked playing on the different levels.

K, Shooting, Better hitTests.

Well that was an awesome game, it was as good as any sort of shooting platform game i have played, definitely reminded me of tomb raider, just a 2D version. I thought you did the graphics really well and i also thought that the control choice was well setup so that both version were easy to pick up and play. I liked the sound you used in this also, i mean it was soft but it doesnt need to standout because it is just background music. Maybe the character showing some emotion when it is getting hurt would improve the game. Overall a very enjoyable game, i mean it was pretty solid all round.

ChromeShark responds:

Thanks for the review. I was going for a kind of 2D Tomb Raider feel. There's two control choices because although I think WASD is much easier and more natural, not everyone gets it. For the sound I just wanted it to add atmosphere without taking over the game. Thanks again.
