[Crap Game Compilation]

Love it!

I just straight up love the concept!
Crappy little games developers make to keep themselves entertained, bundled together into a package that is presented very cleanly and able to hold outsiders attention.
We've all sat down and whipped out crap once and a while just for fun, but it's fun too see what someone else does in their spare time.
This would never stand solo, but as a compilation it was really entertaining.

Both the ZoLs were pretty funny. But I think the best was Teh Legjind Off Yoshiegg. I was laughing at some parts that I'm sure were inside jokes, but still pretty funny.

Great stuff man! I never save my 2 hour junk, and I wish I had now!!
I guess starting now I'll do that more often :)
You're garbage has inspired me! Odd really...

[-Brain Train-]

I'm a Marine Biologist!

I very nice little game!!
I really enjoyed it. The music was very peaceful, and the graphics were simple, but very pleasing.
I especially loved the simple little characters riding the train, and giving your end score/profession.

My only complaint is the very first game.
It would give me X ? 3 = 6
Now, this is technically just a guessing game. I can either say the ? will be multiply, assuming that the X is a 2. But it will tell me I was wrong, because the real answer was that the ? was addition, because the X equalled 3.
This makes the first puzzle half about luck, which defeats the purpose of brain training. So I'm going to have to dock you points there.

Other than the first puzzle, it was all very nice. Good work :)

It's not a random number. The covered ones are the number that was JUST there in the previous question.

[Crumbled 2]

Good job

I don't know why your getting beat up so bad in reviews and score right now :(

Definately an improvement from Crumbled 1.
If there is ever a #3, maybe some things to make it stand out more would be, a storyline of some sort. And a few more obstacles and enemies.
Maybe even some more actions available then just moving and jumping.
Things to consider.

But even then, I still had fun playing through this.
The controls were extremely smooth, and easy to handle. Nice graphics, going along nicely with some high end hit tests.

Too often in games like this, you can't control yourself, and get destroyed by things your 2 feet away from.

So good job. Good to see you back on the Flash scene. Your first submission since '07!?
:O

[William and Sly]

Incredile

The most outstanding game I've played in a long time. Maybe even the most amazing platformer out there.
Your animation could not by smoother. Everything flowed so well. You have some excellent skills all around. I loved your backgrounds as well. Everything fits so well.

It's not very often that someone is this talented of an artist and programmer. And because of this, your game really came together as a truely completed masterpiece. You can tell you had this game invisioned piece by piece from the very start, and were able to collaberate your two skills to bring it together.

The world in this game is so immense, and yet you never see the slightest drop in frame rate.
I feel like I could have spent an entire afternoon running around in this game. The game practically beckons you to explore it's every boundary.

Amazing work, and I hope to see more from William and Sly in the future.

[It's a Nice Day Today]

Silly

I enjoyed the style.
The joke was.... semi funny... for about 5 seconds.
Most of Newgrounds is all giddy like school girls because there was a stick dude's wang doodle.

Deserving of maybe a 3.70
I liked where it was going with the goofy cartoony style, but it was a little too immature.
Next time work on a longer movie, and I'd be interested to see what you can do minus the cock jokes

[Portal Defenders]

Hard work pays off

You guys put a ton of work into this! And it shows!
This game is seemless. Everything works perfectly.
The difficulty curve is challenging, but at the right level to keep you coming back for more!

I love seeing little loveable versions of some of the Newgrounds community. The little baby Zekey was adorable. Awww.

To think I could have gone my entire life without eating Adam Philips large intestine...

Easily a top contender for Game of the Year 2009!!

[stickBrix]

Great fun

It's just so hyper-active, insane, and colorful that you can't help but enjoy yourself!!
Turned out really awesome. I love what you added to it.
You took a simple brick breaking game, and made it something with killing, bosses, and special blocks like keys.

It all came together very nicely. And it was nice to see the addition of a restart key. Haha.
;)

Great job Lochie boi. Two great games in a row!

[Doom Triple Pack]

Stretching Flash's limits

That was so awesome man!
First succesful working 3D type game I've seen made in Flash.
Until now I actually thought it was impossible to have a working FPS game in Flash.
Really awesome, really inspiring.

You should do this for some other game as well.

Only problem, add an option for assigning you're own controls.
On my computer hitting ctrl twice in a row activates some weird google thing.
So I couldn't play the whole thing simple because that was so annoying.

But, I don't hold it against you. This is still amazing

[Rage3!]

A complete game

So many games have so many loose ends. But really, playing through this really felt like a full game. It was well rounded, and enjoyable.
A fun experiance from start to finish.

I was getting a little disappointed not seeing as much from you lately, but if this is what is produced after such a wait, by all means, take your time :D

Good luck with whatever your next project is! Hopefully as well recieved as this has been.
It still amazes me to see a submission with 4.42 not get a weekly award. Silly

fallen angel just HAD to be released the same week as rage. >:|

lol

[Scope: First Blood]

Quite good

I expected a haggard Tactical Assassian rip off.
But in the end, I rather enjoyed myself playing this.

Although it is still sniping out stick-men, it has a completely different feel than TA. It's must less serious. More laid back. And with more humor. The randomness of each mission just makes it more enojyable. And there is no storyline exactly, so you are flexible with what you can make for levels.

The achievement system was a good touch. You'll have people coming back, playing again just so they can try and get all the achievements. So a replay value is always nice.

Good game. Nice work. Maybe for the sequel, spiff up the background a little bit more. The color scheme fit well. But maybe add shading, and a bit more detail.
