spike76's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alloy: Arena]

Not so good as people say

I know, I disagree with everyone. The controls on this game are pretty abominable. Graphics and sound aren't what matter, and the replay value isn't bad, but these controls . . . ugh. Let me say: pressing "a" to jump is not a bad idea. But, when you have left the up and down arrow keys to do nothing, there's a problem. They could aim the gun, or switch weapon. The lack of control explanation will not be present in the final version, I'm sure. The enemies are easy to defeat (since they freeze when shot at and only come from two directions) but at best kept me on my toes. You must have spent some good time working on this, but know that it's not as good as it can be. I give it three stars.

PsychoGoldfish responds:

Ok.. Fist off, this isnt done.. Secondly. There are Moves already assigned to the Up and down arrow Keys,with more to come.
and Third.. there are tips how those moves work in there Loading Screen...

For a so-called L337 action-scripter such as yourself, you seem to have trouble reading print...

Junk

Bad spelling, bad music, bad graphics, bad setup. Newgrounds really isn't for tutorials, but if it were, I'd tell you to submit something good for a change.

Bladesweep responds:

Screw you man! without the tutorials on newgrounds there wouldnt be half as many movies and games as there are now !!

[Space shooter Demo]

Great!

The objects however look a lot like traced bitmaps, and I assume they are . . . The sounds and different weapons are great, and I love the fast paced play. Suggestions: should have some indication that you get hit, like your ship wobbles and makes a sound. I couldn't tell if those purple things were good or bad until I looked at my health going down. The menu needs cleaning up; the buttons aren't appealing and those white enemies appear sometimes befor you hit start. Add some bosses, a loader, and a high-scores table, and this will be one high-class-ass game! I give it a 4/5.

Fadeliss responds:

ok thanks the full version will have all of that
