ardystic's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bucketball]

noice game

it was a fun game. frustrating at first but once you get the strategy of always going full power and remember where to point on the screen before you let go, it's all cake. a lot of trial and error but i could probably get top scores if i replay. i wish i kept a log of each level though lol. love the music.

[Brawl Royale]

great looking game

i think we can all agree that you know how to give eyegasms. gameplay isn't as great, but then again, it's only a quick draw game. i didn't beat the game because i'm an impatient person and hated going through all the characters over and over again just to get back to where i was. maybe adding continues or an easy mode where you can replay the same stage without having to start over would be nice. it kinda sucks for us people who have slow reflexes get deprived of pretty animation.

[Hexiom Connect]

great puzzle

it was fun on the way to lvl 22 but then i got stuck.

[Mercenaries 2]

pretty fun

i liked how you combined all different kinds of gamplay in one game. i thought it was gonna be killing metal slug style the whole time but you sure surprised me.

[The Insanity Box]

a pimped out Impossible Quiz

i haven't gotten very far so i can't really say a lot about gameplay. you did a great job on the visual/graphics department, though.

[Overhead: persistence]

nice flash version of a japanese game show

when i used to live in japan, there was this game show on tv where people had to guide a rod through an electrified maze on a wall. if they touched the sides, the maze would spark. touching the sides in your game made a electric sound so that reminded me of the show. an overall nice game. i like the katamari type backgrounds.

[Totem Destroyer]

i like unique games

never played anything like this one before. pretty fun and original.

[Mind Your Manor]

good concept, bad execution

the concept of the game is good but imo it's too much trial and error. it would have been better if you gave a description of each item and what it will do without completely spoiling the solution. some of the order of the objects don't make sense. for example, in the first stage we're supposed to put down the island first and then the striped thingy to make the island grow. how are we supposed to know that the striped object would have an effect on the island's growth? i don't see a connection between the two objects. maybe if you were to replace the striped object with a magical fertilizer object then it would have made more sense and people would have solved it using logic instead of a complete guess.

[Champion]

nice but...

the rate my soldiers come out is too random. sometimes they'll come in one big group right in the beginning of the round and i'll win in 2 seconds. then in another round, i'll get a stampede of enemies headed toward me and my soldiers are all no shows. if my soldiers were to come out at a decent pace or maybe even let us have control over when we want them to show up, this game would be more awesome.
