Step's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windows Doors Demo]

Awesome

So far so good. The Stalk Chat is amazing, and it must've taken ages to program, and the concept and ideas putten into the game overall are original and great. The chat still is slightly glitchy though, since sometimes it says 'Archon68 is tryping...' and never comes with a final answer. Also, there are some double-spaces, unnecerassy commas and capital letters in places where there shouldn't be. For some things, like typing something on the chat, or typing on the address bar on Internet Adventurer could be entered by pressing Return on your keyboard in addition to pressing the arrow. Another thing is that when you have a window open, you can still access what's behind it, for example, you have StalkChat on, and if you double click on it where the Internet Adventurer icon is placed in the desktop, Internet Adventurer comes up. You should add a scroll bar to some programs as well, and then it would be perfect. Hope this review is useful enough :).

I like it

Very good. Everything runs smoothly, and the sound effects aren't those ones that once you listen to them once, you don't ever want to lisen to them again. The levels progressed in the right difficulty, and good job on the high-scores. You could make high-scores for individual levels as well but that's just a suggestion. What put my review score down a little was the lack of music. You should try and find a fast paced, not too loud soundtrack to fit with the gameplay, and add more levels too, since these were too easy. You can even add seperate levels with the arrow keys only and add some NG Medals but those are just more suggestions. Well, what the heck, good job overall.

Thanks very much for the good score and in depth review :)

Epic, amazing, outstanding, and flawless! *Phew*

Now this is what I call a game. Possibly, no, surely, the best flash game there is out there. Extremely original, and perfect throughout. Excellent job with the backgrounds, and the storyline, which in most flash games is usually poor, was quite good in this one. Sound effects weren't that bad either. And the fun still doesn't stop when there's a map editor around. Excellent job on it, by the way. The levels are all of perfect difficulty, and the forms are awesome.

Now for the bad news... It's slightly glitchy though. There's the lag, but I don't blame you for that, and we could always download it, but also, the spikes are really bothersome. Hitting spikes from the side isn't supposed to hurt, and even if a pixel of your tail touches the spike, you're dead. Also, the music didn't vary, much. You should have a new soundtrack for every chapter. Another thing is that since the game is quite laggy, you should take away the things that take long, like the scene that happens when you die, the pause menu falling down, and also the jumping is a little slow too.

Still, this game is really original, and I congratulate the person who thought of this perfect idea of puking to survive. The levels were very well thought of, and the levels at the beginning start the player up perfectly to what's about to come. It's purely perfect, and extremely addictive. I really can't believe I managed to get all the medals. Sorry for the long review, and good luck on your upcoming flash submissions! :)

Impossibly good!

For your first shoot 'em up, this is unbelievable. I really liked the effects, and the ideas for powerups were original and well thought of. The song fit in perfectly, and if I had to go through it, I wouldn't change much. A little variety of music for every two waves or something would make the game much better, and the fact that the ship shoots by itself was a little annoying. Anyway, good job with the graphics and keep up the good work. I'm not surprised about the front page!

[FL Studio Tutorial #1]

Great!

Man, I was really waiting for a good tutorial for FL Studio. I know the basics of it, but I really need to know how to make a proper song with it. Please keep the tutorials going! :)

[super sweatshop mastar]

Not too good...

I didn't like it much. It was very repetitive, didn't have a main menu, the sound got very frustrating and annoying, the graphics: elephant-sized pixels all over the place, and no proper instructions. Still, the fact that there are NG medals in it, challenging ones, it was quite good, and that's the main reason that boosted my review score to 6. Try and add some music next time, and change the colours, since sometimes the planes, birds and helicopters were on the clouds, and since they both have the same colour, it's practically impossible to know whether there's something behind those clouds. Anyway, this seems to be your first flash submission on Newgrounds, so I guess 6/10 is fair enough, right?

[Mouse Trap]

Good game

Good choice of song, but the game does have its problems. The Level Selection System NEEDS improving. Who needs passwords? That way, other people who won the game and know the passwords tell everyone else, they play this game and win almost immediately, and suddenly, your game's easy. Just do a simple level selection where you unlock more levels to select as you progress through the game. If you really want passwords for some reason, at least, in the password box it would have the last password inputted in it, so that if someone's stuck on a level, when they lose, all they need to do is go to the level selection and press 'go'. Also, this may sound pretty stupid but I'll say it anyway. I think it'd be better if you put the 'go' button of the password screen at the bottom of the password box, not at the top, since usually the confirming buttons are at the bottom. Still, it's such a tiny problem that there's practically no use in fixing it. Another thing is that, in my opinion, the order of levels wasn't done well. Levels 1-5 were dead easy, and then from 6 onwards it quickly skipped to a harder difficulty. Try and some levels inbetween. Even the cursor should've been custom.
Anyway, apart from those problems, the game is addicting, and among the best games of this type that I've seen on NG. Good job on making it cheat proof, and sorry for the long review :(

[Flea]

A little easy...

But overall quite addicting and fun. Good choice of music, but it was a little easy. I went through each level really quickly and only finished the NG vesion in around five minutes. Also, the fact that you can climb up walls is a bit of a nuisance, since you can already jump as high as you want in three times the speed. Also, the music in the game could've been a little louder. It also was slightly glitchy. Sometimes, when I sped through the tip of the spikes, I didn't lose, and also, if you're about to bounce on a trampoline and press jump exactly after you touch the trampoline, you won't bounce high, which makes the game even easier. Anyway, overall, quite addicting and fun. Good luck on your next submissions!

[avoid;)]

Not that good...

The cheats of zooming in and right click to finish can be used here; you could try and fix that. Also, only one level? You could try doing more, and maybe making obstacles that move, also more song variety, and stuff like that. I'll give a 1/10 for the game, 1/10 for effort and 2/10 for music.

[The Impossible Quiz]

Wow.

Amazing job. definetely one of my favourite games. How did you get all these tricky questions? Just thought of them, or heard them from somewhere else. Whatever the case, the questions are great, I like the song, and well, hope the third one comes out!! :)
