Elmhurst676's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[LARRY: Doug-Out]

Fun game.

Fun and addicting game. I thought it was neat to play a game from the point of view of McSweeny. Serving drinks while beating up a crazed drankard was certainly an interesting idea. Refills and an upgrade system made it interesting but it would be nice if there were a further incentive to keep playing; even an ending would be nice. I did like the challenge though. Overall good game.

It's a hitppolyta!

I'm very impressed with this game. Games based on Amazon legends are hard to come by on this site so its very refreshing to see them on here. Your games are usually very unique and original and this is no exception. I like the clean interface and the nice graphics & style, definetely helps the game deliver a defining punch. However while the fast paced twitch gameplay is fun enough, it does have boring moments from time to time. Also the lag was a shame. Considering the game is hard enough, lag isn't helping it any. Also at some moments the game seemed almost impossible (like dodging AND having to jump). But overall I think most will manage. I like having upgrades and multiple game modes (plus medals- it's definetely a jam-packed game we've got here) and a nice length.

Overall its a great game really, even if some gameplay/technical issues put a damper on it a little.

Nice work.

Pixel games are hard to come by let alone pixel adventure games, so this is a nice alternative. The writing was generally well-penned, and I thought the puzzles were logical and easy to understand but still strained the brain goodnaturedly. An overall nice length, with great music and medals. Also, the SUPERALITIVELY UNFATHOMABLE BIGWORDLY SECRETIVE UNLOCKITT was nice too. (Not spoiling it!)
Too bad there's alot of bugs, but the game makes up for that.
Overall, great job, even though there were a few bugs.

Alright!

Now this is a game I can get behind. An atari-style pixilated adventure where you have to swing from rope to rope, dodge falling bolders, and find priceless treasure. All by pressing one button! Easy, huh? Play the game and get back to me on that. I like the variety between stages, and the adjustments in the difficulty that gradually become less and less subtle. Before you know it, things get difficult. It's simple, but it's certainly challenging! Nice end boss too.

[The Scale of the Universe]

Whoa.

Astonishing! Astonishing! A marvel of science. You don't see things like these on Newgrounds often. I noticed a few miscalculations but it's excusable enough. I would use this in a classroom or at a university. It's that great.

[Score!]

Nice.

Brings back good memories of 80s adventure gaming. I like having the possibilities of trying pretty much anything and getting a result. The possibilities are endless! I'm liking the pixilated-cartoony art too, as well as the genuinely funny script.

However, some of the problems have plagued the genre it's been based on, too. For example, very few animations. I wouldn't mind having a few more animations into it. Nothing complicated, just more. Having an option to be able to describe the things around you would really come in handy, and some times you have to be specific when typing. But these are just suggestions, nothing serious.

It could use some improvements, but overall it's a great game that I'll be playing forever here on Newgrounds.

[Infectonator : World Dom]

Damn.

I wasted a majority of my life on the previous installment, this certainly takes the cake! I haven't played a game this engrossing in a long time. I was surprised to see how many upgrades and levels there were. How about that? You made something great, and you made it outstanding.

We got a contender for Newgrounds GOTY right here folks!

[Bad Dudes game generator]

You did a great job on this.

How about for a celebration, we go grab a burger?

HA HA HA!

[Hitstick 5]

It's Not Bad

I like having the choice of several weapons and the art style's nice. I really go for non-linear style games such as this, and for the most part it gets the job done. Satisfyingly gory and a nice mission variety to boot, this game has style. However, the backgronds and characters can be kind of lifeless. For example, I shot this man next to a woman. The woman didn't do anything. She just kind of stood there. If you could add some sort of expression and life into it, it would be perfect. Also, the shooting is a little bit shoddy, and having a few more tranquilizer bullets would be fine. You also die too fast. But, all in all, the pros overcome the cons; this good game. Here's hoping you make more!
4/5 8/10 - "Great"

[Chibi Knight]

Nice!

I love the graphics and the whole Castle Crashers- Legend of Zelda idea. I always loved your Castle Crashing The Beard game and I always wondered how it would be if it was expanded on, maximized. Well, here we are. The world is massive and the gameplay is tight. It takes me back to the days of Zelda 2, but unlike that one, this one controls way better. The character design is really cute, I'll say, and the dialoug is fine. But while the HUD could use a bit of an overhaul (maybe have a little more things on the screen) I probably don't share that idea with other people. I also thought the voiceover was a nice touch.

All in all, this is one massive game, and if you haven't played it yet... PLAY IT! It's a must.
