PanzerDivision's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dynasty Warriors Minigame]

eh

since this game is a "photo hunt" style game, you need to penalize the player when they guess incorrectly....because i can just click all over the picture without penalty and it dosent matter......it makes the game very boring..

Insp-Chin responds:

Sorry, first time for me to write this game, but still thanks for your comment...

This game could have potential. Zombie killers are oversaturated in the shooter genre, so you'd have to work really hard on making it shine. I see that you're only 13 years old, and for your age this is a good submission. In a shooter game you need to pay attention to 3 important areas. 1) Accuracy 2) Speed 3) Options

1) Accuracy : While playing the game i noticed that the accuracy was low. Shooters thrive off a good engine which will accurately hit the targets when sighted properly. Specific damage to the enemy (head blown off, limb loss ) can be an added visual affect to make the game more realistic.
2) Speed : Shooters needs to be fast paced, with the speed that your shooter was moving... a gamer will most likely walk away from it within the first minute.
3) Options : You need to give the gamer a variety of weapons,armor, enhancements to make the game have more depth and strategy.

Keep working on your shooter, clean up the graphics and the areas i listed above and you'll have a solid shooter.

I will definately pay attention to these suggestions when I make the 3rd. Thanks a lot.

[Onslaught!]

10

First off, let me offer you congratulations on a perfect game. 10

Graphics: 10 : Diverse colors, shading, and shadowing make Onslaught a very detailed piece of flash. It has been awhile since i have seen a game of this caliber graphicswise on the front page. Any flash game submissions should be held to this quality of standard.

Style: 10 : Your classic "defend the castle" format, with a nice 2 player twist.

Sound: 9 : Fits the game perfectly and dosent get annoying like most flash games. Mostly because you are too focused on the fast action of game to be worried about music, so THAT says alot.

Violence: 10 : Ogre and Goblin killing madness!

Inteactivity: 9 :The controls were very smooth, i would have liked to possibly have the option of using the mouse for 1st person.

Overall : 10 : Great game. Keep up the good work. You guys have made a great game.

Weaksauce responds:

Michael: First off, thank you for the in depth review, says a lot that you would put so much time into it. Secondly, I would like to point out that it was a mission to make this game as complete and as SMALL as possible. Notice that it's only 1.5 megs? We definitely wanted as many people to be able to play this as possible, given the amount of content. Thanks again for a great review.

[Space Fighters Evolution]

Captains Log Stardate 533.222..4.5..55

This game has potential, but the gameplay gets stale very quickly. Get RID of the music, it does not go well with "space combat" you need some ambient electronic in the background ( very ambient to the point where its hard to hear it apart from the SFX )

Reccomendations: Bring the scale up to a higher point of view, add different enemies, more options (weapons,shields,etc)

If you want some good audio, contact me.

Nemo responds:

ill definently consider your advice on music. im thinking of making a track selection for the next one. thanks for the review

[The Legends of Hiro]

!

10!

This is by far one of the best submissions i have seen on newgrounds. You should totally make this a full length game with different areas / lands....make battle sequences...the whole 9! I would definately buy it.

Nice addition of the hot anime girl closeups.

Visual-Noize responds:

I´ll make a more RPGlike part 1.5 ^_^ so stay tuned!

[Stande: Battle Mode]

Good

This is good for a rough draft of the game, but you really need to add the element of "direction" Walking back and forth in a small area shooting the same character over and over again gets boring after 10 seconds. Make levels and missions...

SketchMichaels responds:

It shall be.

[Mr Fox]

Mr Fox

Graphics: Very well drawn 1930's feel. You should definately add more of the old reel animation film scars to the gameplay to make it seem like it's a real film being played and also include the ticker holes on the side. One thing that stood out was that some things were crisply drawn and some were filtered and looked "softened". 1930's cartoon's were all hand drawn, and the characters would stand out because of their "crispness"...I would make everything crisp and no softened filtering.

Sound: I like the soundtrack. I would like to see some more sound effects included. You should definately try to sample effects from Betty Boop movies/DVD.

Inteactivity: This is the only apparently flawed area of the game. The jump feature needs to be more responsiveness, and he should be able to fall back to the ground more promptly as to attack the logs. He dies to easily because of the lag of the jump,and it's abit jittery.

Style: Classic Side Scroller. I would like to see this expanded into more levels and perhaps make it an 800 x 800 box......or whatever you want...just a bigger screen area.

Violence: Follows 1930's cartoon idea. I would like to see better animation from the characters, they just pop off screen....take some more time to develop "death" sequences for the enemies.

Humor: Not alot of humor, again go back into more elaborate death sequences and more sound effects to boost this score.

Overall: This is a very good side scroller with a vintage feel. You should definately redraw some of the characters and add more animations to smooth gameplay out. Fix the jump timing, and possibly add an attack feature....possibly a life meter instead of just lives....pause menu..etc etc... Vote: 5(w00t)

thistler responds:

thanks for your review,
i'm going to be taking all criticisms, good and bad, on board from everyone and make the next game better. i'm still a newbie to AS, so bare with me.

[Crazy Chopper]

Overhaul Needed

Graphics: Simple and basic, damage to helicopter was nice. As a "game" i would expect more time and effort put into the graghics since the game is so basic.

Sound: Background noises would have been nice. Basic noises.

Interactivity: Helicopter handled like a helicopter from the 8 bit NES.

Style: Nothing New.

Violence: Puffs of smoke...

Humor: None, after awhile i laughed that i was doing the same thing over and over without enjoying myself

Overall: Compared to other Newgrounds submissions, this is by far below the bar. You need to give this game a MAJOR overhaul, add dynamics to the controls (perhaps map the controls to the control keys) It took too long to acquire money and the level needs to be expanded.

exfuga responds:

no, it's actually not 'simple' at all, notice how the gameplay is choppy, that's because your processor can't handle the amount of actions running. This is the most obselete review i can find. Yet, for some reason I am taking the time to respond to it.

[World Domination]

Needs Improvement

From most of the time based strategy games I have played, this is a good game from a beginners standpoint. The game needs major development in more areas though, and this definately needs to be a free game to begin with. You could go out and spend $20 on Command and Conquer.

Graphics - The graphics were drawn well, as well as the animation [quirky at most times] was interesting. Perhaps some voice talent for the characters would give people some laughs, as their drawings were pretty comical.

Sound - Very minimal sound, the background sound became annoying after...oohh...a minute. Perhaps changing up the music when the gameplay gets more frantic or laxed...depending on the situation..or change it by denomination...catholics get their music, communists get the ol'commie russian sound.

Interactivity - This is another aspect of the game that needs to be enhanced. I would make this more of a real time strategy, to speed things up. Making weapons takes little time, while making a jet fighter takes longer...etc..

Style - Eh, we've seen this type of game before. It dosent break any grounds...but it's good for what it is, and since it's not backed by some major corporation..we can't hold it on some pedistal.

Violence - Again, I see some comedic strains in the game....perhaps when a missile hits a building you could see flaming corpses falling out, or bloody explosions..etc.. This game needs more graphic violence....dosent World Domination mean death and destruction??

Humor - Aside from the comedic drawings of the dictators...and that little spy guy...not a whole lot.

Overall - MORE development. This game needs to be revamped with the criteria i mentioned, and perhaps it could be a marketable game.

Youdagames responds:

Thanks for the tips will take all tips into account.
