Kenney's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jontron: Bird vs. Camel]

Was playing the game, noticed the explosions, they looked familiar.
Upon closer inspection... I drew them, hah! Thanks for using the assets.

Great game!

MikeSalyh responds:

Hey Kenney! I hope your Land is going well! Your explosion pack is awesome. It alone was worth the $20 contribution to your Kickstarter. Cheers, mate.

[Vector Effect]

Nice try, but it's still Geometry Wars

Although nice with the power-ups and the leveling, this is just Geometry Wars again. Try something different.

Juice-Tin responds:

That's the point ;) There's been many clones of the game that weren't very good, I wanted to make something that captured the true essence of the game. I just threw in all the other stuff to mix it up a bit.

[A Bad Taste of Pico]

Great game, little short tho!

Great art and gameplay, the game was smooth and a feast for the eye. Great work guys!

Joelasticot responds:

Thank you!

[Pop Me!]

Simple but addicting!

It's really simple, I'm a little put off that you credited yourself for the idea while this is basicly a 1:1 copy of the Pop! game for Wiiware. It's a good copy though :)

sabatino responds:

Thanks! :)
I haven't said litteraly that the idea was mine, but yeah i guess i need to say i got inspired by the wiiware game :p

[Super Smash Flash]

Am I the only one who thinks this game sucks?

First of all, the graphics are all stolen none of them are yours. I'm talking about characters graphics and overall design of the menu and logo's. They're all copyrighted, by getting this game sponsored your risk that Nintendo is gonna sue you.

Well, second the camera was really stupid, it was zoomed out all the time while in the real SSBM it zooms in at points. The controls were real glitchy. The framerate was awful at times.

Get your own ideas, don't try to remake a great game like SSBM.

Cleod-9 responds:

They aren't stolen, I at least credited them dozens of times. And I don't think Nintendo would sue a 16 year old for making a fan game.

[Space Invaders: Classical]

Kinda bad really!

Well it should't be difficult recreating an oldskool game but this was really sad. First of all it didn't really looked like the space invaders were shooting, more like random laser spawning! Second, the bunkers were gone!

Third, in the original Space Invaders you had a sort of time limit because they moved closer...and closer...and closer but here they just moved to the left and the right. Fourth, the original kinda Jaws tune was removed, probably because you couldn't get them moving forward, so the Jaws tune is removed and replaced by a cheap cheeky kinda tune.

When I won the game it just showed me "You Win!", alright, I can live with that but then...nothing happens! In normal Space Invaders you would go to level2. (Also, the last bug I shot kept shooting =S)

Pros:
- Oldskool classic, remade!

Cons:
- Original sounds removed, same goes for music.
- No 'time limit'.
- No bunkers to hide.
- Ackward shooting (by the space invaders).
- Only 1 level.

iVisual responds:

as i have to tell everyone that this is the classical version, only the modern versions have decending aliens and bunkers, this is how it was 20 years ago. Except for the sounds.

[My Elastic Friend]

Damn you!

Newgrounds is a place to put full featured games and movies, not some kind of ragdoll projects of yours. That's why there is something called a "portfolio". Put it in there, not here on NG!

CodeVeroby responds:

Shut up you little @#!@# Head

[How to draw 4: 3D]

Yeah

There are lot's of tutorials to learn you draw 3D. And this is the worst I've seen! You're lying to us! You didn't made those text with your method, everyone could see that!

Aprime responds:

wth i did make them, it even had my name ur so dum

[Ultimate Potato]

This is great!

Graphics: They are not bad but could be better with a few modifications!
Style: Could use some more style, not bad really.
Sound: Hyper music and gun sounds, great!
Violence: A Potato shooting Carrots!! OMG!! TEH VIOLENCE!
Interactivity: Could be made a little better but it's kinda great now.
Humor: Come on, a Potato falling down a building shooting other veggies? What could be more funny?!

FrostedMuffins responds:

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it, that's what I was hoping everyone would feel like!

[Newcomer Tutorial]

You broke your own "TIP"...

You submitted your first flash! As it seems... Those actionscripts are beginners, they are all over Newgrounds. Why make a tutorial everyone already saw? Why act you're the master in flash while you can't even choose proper flash music! A tutorial that's 2,5mb!!! A tutorial should be like 300kb, without music, or some relaxing music. Your tutorial has some stupid hardcore beat that sounds HORRIBLE after playing it sometime...didn't you noticed this? Also work on your graphics, they look like a 4 year old made them. Put this flash on a tutorial site not on Newgrounds.

Come on, it's a tutorial!, 0/10

remotecube responds:

uh no, i didnt submit my first flash. Ive made about 10, this is just the first one that i submited. And u guys seem 2 either hate or love tutorials. I dont really care. So long as Its in the portal, Its good 4 me. and the music, well yeah, i know its a little hard core after a bit, but some people like that.

other than that, thanks for the review.
