Hybrid-Of-Souls's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kangadang the Kangaroo]

Good effort

Nice idea for a game here. Kangaroos are rather underrated for games/movies, so the main character was rather original. The idea and controls were simplistic and easy to understand but at times, I would have no idea as of where to go because some of the parts that lead to other areas look like plain old walls. Also the voice of the first guy was rather low and I couldn't hear it. But what does make up for the audio part is the weird noise the natives make when you hit them. So yeah, nice game, good that you cleared up the bugs.

[Mouse Dodger]

Same ol' same ol' but still nice

For a simplistic mouse avoider game, that wasn't half bad. The music was very nice, the fifth level was where things really started to pick up and you were able to keep players from cheating their way through the levels. The bad sides were that the level designs were simplistic and the spelling of 'lose' was off. You should still stick with this theme in the future and see if you can make something that has better-looking levels. Overall, good game.

Every review has said i spealt lose wrong. Im working on mouse avoider 2 as this game was enjoyable to make and to come up with the ideas for.

[Scribble 2!]

Few problems but still neato

Compared to the prequel, this game has a few slight problems, including that the circles don't always react to my pencil/crayon/whatever it is whenever I put it over them. Also, due to the new scrolling feature, which was still nice anyway, there was a bit of trouble trying to get up to #10 in one of the levels, as the HUD was getting in the way of it. But moving on to the positives, this game was very colorful and fun and the scrolling, like I said, added to a bit of a challenge to it. And first time, I got a level 9 on it, so I did decent. You seem to like ZeRo-BaSs's music a lot, don't you?

Nice but ball control was hard

The idea of this type of pong game itself was very unique, inlcuding when you can move your paddle in more than one direction. The intros to levels were a bit funny as what the blocks said corresponded with the level idea. But even though you can move your paddle in an unlimited number of directions, controlling the ball was hard. If the paddle actually moved in angle, it would make more sense and players can actually see where they're about to send the ball hurtling away. Fixing the ball control should guarantee an instant 5 from me but since it's hard, I gave it a 4.

[Mini forts]

Needs more to it, but still not bad

This game idea and layout are good, but there's not much else. If there was sound and levels in this game, this would be a lot cooler. The tanks look good but you'll still probably leave others wondering "Why can't all the tanks just fire large explosives?". But the idea of having them charge at the castle with stuff like spears is better than just having them shoot from long range. The castles and units also looked good in terms of graphics. I won't mind about the bolt idea as I can tell that you want some people to have a challenge while others just want it easy. So this game seems incomplete to me but it's a great first step to actual completion.

Over-Kill responds:

Thanks for the respectable review. Sounds are so hard to get now a days without people going oh you got it from flashkit or oh you got it from this site and this site. The sounds are far too over used. I can still try and get some good ones though.
Yeah we went away from the shooting for the tanks because then you'd just have an army here and another there and a ton of shots firing back and forth.

[elem & sourpopz Xmas]

Generic but better

There have been many not-very-great Christmas tree dressups lately. This one breaks off from the rest of the bunch. Sure, it still has about the same stuff and not a lot of it compared to the other tree dressups but these looked a lot better. The tree looked a bit better too. There was also one more thing those other guys didn't have: good music. While they chose Christmassy themes, you had to be a rebel and go with a rocking tune. So all in all, not extremely fun but still better than the other dressup trees. Worth protecting.

elem593 responds:

thanks we thought about the christmas music but for a little change we decided a differnt kind of music because some people maybe dont like that kind of music who knows

[Targets 3]

Cool shooter

This game reminded me of the old arcade game "Point Blank" except without the wackiness, cartoony killer animals and bombs and stuff like that. The four modes were each unique and cool in their own way, and the "10 seconds" game really followed the plot line of "Point Blank". Memory was more of a mind game than a shooter, Time Attack was based a bit more on luck than actual skill, as reds would sometimes flood the target zones, and Random Target was a skill game of watchful eyes. So from all that, it was enough for me to give this a full five. So all I can really say is keep up the good work.

[Snow Line]

The best is always coming from you guys

This impressive game very much reminded me of Line Rider/Flyer but this one had an actual objective/mission (whatever you want to call it). The obstacles in the game are very devious challenges that try to keep you from getting the presents. The only small downside is that the song looped too quickly and that there wasn't a song selection in case you get bored of the current song. Also, being able to choose your character to journey on this mountain would've been nice. So that's about it. Great game, great idea, peace out!

[Go.]

Awesome game

OK, let's start all the way from the preloader in order to rate this game.
The preloader was interactive fun while waiting for the game to load up. Now onto the game itself: the gameplay was hands-down solid, as you try to avoid the inexplicable mines levitating around the hill. I've noticed, if so, a bit of an idea from "James the Christmas Zebra": collect cookies as you avoid the obstacles in your way that'll cause problems. Jumping off snowmen heads was also pretty fun as the snowman died in a weird way. So hands-down, one of the best winter games this season. Not to mention what you'll be doing next year...

[Christmas Olympics]

Fast paced and a nice idea

For a game in which all you needed was the mouse button, it was fun for about 40 seconds. Eating the cookies was a real chore as trying it over and over again would make any wrist sore. Although I felt like there should've been more events in this, particularly something that involved flying reindeer somewhere. Also, I'm not sure if it was my computer, but the music wouldn't play when I started. Volume up and everything. Glitch perhaps? If you could fix that, then this can be a really good Christmas game!

dank responds:

Great first review.
I've been planning on more games from the start, but I wasn't able to complete them in time for the dead line. The music was supposed to start right when you came to the men, but it got messed up some how and I wasn't able to fix it.

Thanks for the review.
