"This is horrible..."

submission: David Carradine Hangman

date: June 6, 2009

..horribly entertaining.

Let's just all admit it. David Carradine passed on in a manner that is easily the most hilarious way for anyone to die a horrible death. This is a classic Newgrounds response. The game isn't that fun, it's poorly constructed to the point that it's actually hard to make yourself intentionally lose, it's ugly as sin, but it is offensive for the sake of being offensive and I've come to accept that letting a little schadenfreude into my heart is a lot healthier than fostering a false sense of self-righteousness over a dumb game. It's good that some people are still keeping the dark side of Newgrounds alive.

"Gorgeous graphics, camera needs work."

submission: Tankmen: Incursion

date: April 30, 2009

I like the idea of a dynamic camera, the problem is that every action by you as well as every enemy causes the camera to move. It moves so erratically that the game is unfortunately impossible to play. Simple enemies become nearly impossible to kill on purpose. It's a shame because it seems like a solid platformer.

Of course, like everything you do it looks fucking fantastic, it's just lost when I'm getting motion sickness watching the camera spazz out.

Score: 8

"Good game too short"

submission: Bricks n Match

date: April 20, 2009

Pleasantly paced game with inviting graphics and some jolly backround music. The idea is well implemented and easy to understand, new concepts are introduced well and lend themselves well to new challenges. You've just left me wanting more. It was getting to a point where I was about ten minutes in and was expecting to just get into the really challenging mind benders when it just ended. Fun puzzler, not enough of it.
