Smoking-Chimney's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Candy Cane Crisis]

Brilliant little game!

Barely after I had started playing the game, I was aware of the quality graphics and great style, followed by working out the simple but very responsive controls, before I went off collecting my candy canes. A very good festive game here and I'm very glad you got a daily award for your troubles. Keep rockin' on!

TrueDarkness responds:

Thanks Barno!! Really appreciate it, and I'm glad you reviewed my game =p

Thanks for a great review, and believe me, I had a fun time making this, no troubles at all =p Thanks! :)

[Cap'n Zappy]

Excellent :O

Really well made game and a b*tch-load of fun to play! The springy noises were really well suited, brilliant art (as usual) and the style of the game was quite unique in the kind of extreme disorientated spinning/reversal of controls that occurs when you start building up points. Not that it matters, but i got 7900. The only niggle I have is that it is still 3 weeks 'til Hallowe'en, but since it's probably in a contest, that's all good. Verdict: very impressed, especially with the good time-wastability factor :)

Wonchop responds:

Heh, well I wanted to get it out of the way ^^; You know how things get heated on the actual day.

[Prehistoric.]

Excellent.

Really, really good work here guys. The coding and actionscript from True_Darkness runs the game smoothly and pleasantly with no troubling glitches, and Buzzwerd's graphics are simply sublime.

Bloody great game, it has my full approval :)

Buzzwerd responds:

Thanks a lot Smoking, it really means a lot to me (TD). I'd love to hear from you again online or something, and I'd love to know what you've been up to =p

Thanks for the review man!

[Anchor Ball]

Great!

Nice, original game! Lovely artwork and no glitches I encountered in the programming. I got some rubbish score like 36, but I still enjoyed the game and its unique concept. Good work guys!

TrueDarkness responds:

Thanks a lot man. It's good to know that you're still alive =p. If you're ever online, go on AIM and chat a bit. Thanks for the review! =)

[-Christmas Cursor-]

Nice Job!

Cool game! Particularly challenging I might add! Good job as usual, and I'm liking this... liking it very much.... have a 10 review score 'coz that last reviewer was a complete idiot :|

TrueDarkness responds:

Thanks man! I was hoping you'd review ;)
Where have you been? Come on AIM again sometime soon. Merry Xmas!

[Button Clicker]

Pretty decent :)

I thought this was a good game idea and it worked well. It had a decent paced learning curve, and if you count each button click as a level... it had a lot of levels :) However, sorry to ruin the fun, but right-clicking and selecting 'Play' skips through each level :( Otherwise really cool idea :D

IWantSomeCookies responds:

I know, I put a script, not the basic stop(); function, so if you right click and play it only skips onto the next level :)

Maybe i'll change that in #2

[White & Black]

The best one yet!

The colour scheme here was a great idea, and a great challenge too! Really looks sleek and well designed, with more purpose in the style than the other games. I actually really loved all the games this time, especially Inglor's and Merc's which were both really very cool. Glaiel's game was 'fandabidoosy' a.k.a great and Skater000's game was very original and quite addictive! And SMASH!... well what can I say.... :)

Thanks again for the great collab, this one is the best yet! :D

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

lol fandabidoosy

[HoverBot]

Oh very yes...

This is good guys, very good, addictive, and with a bit of tweeking could become legendarily good. I love it though, the graphic style is quite cartoony but well suited to the game. The sound is pretty good and isn't one of those annoying beepy loops you get on some games. Overall, you've done damn good.

:D

TrueDarkness responds:

Yay, glad you liked it, thanks for reviewing man I really appreciate it. Hopefully I'll make more better games that you'll like even more! :D

[Rumble Ball field 4]

I really liked that...

A great little game with a whole lotta potential. In fact I would say the graphics and style you have done them in are fantastic and fully worthy of the 9/10 I gave them both. I'm not quite sure if you used .jpg or .gif images or if you just did it intricately drawing in Flash, but it really looked good. To be honest, the overall design including the menu was great, and although at first I didn't know what to do, I managed to figure it out quickly and probably could've read the instructions.

Good Luck in future projects, but this is a great game for 277 kb, and perhaps in new games you make, you could somehow implement this game like a level of another game... well who knows, but I thought this was really, really good :D

GameBalance responds:

I used gif. It's smaller and more sharpen then jpg.
Thanks!

[Red, White, & Blue]

Nicely put together

A glitch with the scoring? That's odd. But it's been made well, even if I say so myself - SMASH! fans should love the new version!

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

Yeah, it seems very wierd.....................
