ornery's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Timebot v1.1]

Very cool concept and idea

The whole ghost clone thing really makes you think differently in this one. Adds a new type of thought process and challenge not seen in many puzzle games.

[Catch It]

Just your basic "catch the falling stuff" game

nothing really special about this one, the only unique thing was the bricks. But I found myself just placing them arbitraily scince I had no trouble just dodgeing the spikes, so basically they were sorta pointless.

[Tornado Button Smashing]

Original and exhausting

I love the chaos of this one, really unique idea. A radar would have been useful, but not entirely nesscary i suppose. Part of the fun is trying to find that last lone house that you always miss and get with 1 second left.

Talk about multi-tasking

Good fun, and rather simple. Maybe have a few random powerup type things besides just picking up stars to add a bit more intrest to the game, because after you have about 30 balls it starts getting a little crowded and annoying.

Kool, thanks for the review!

[Can you play my melody?]

Finally something original

Who cares if it takes a bit to get to the actual game part, the movie makes it that much more exciting and enticing. Really digged how original this one was, almost had me convinced that something malicious would actually happen if i failed the game.

[Asteroid Rampage]

Good Concept, Bad Execution

Great idea for the game. The controls however were a bit on the impractical side. Maybe arrow keys to move, and space bar to lunge would have made more sense. Also you shouldnt get have the option of going to low on the screen or to high and getting hurt, it dosent make much sense if you think about it.

[Find Boo!]

Far to easy

Not only can you just use tab, but all you really need to do is zoom in a bit and scan the pic for about ten seconds and you will find him.

Next time disable tab function and zoom function.

A Visual Masterpiece

Graphically this game is gorgeous. But besides the graphics there really isnt a whole lot else to it.

It seems almost impossible to miss any of the bombs, its impossible to die (which isnt nesscesarily a bad thing), and the bombs dont seem to have any correlation to the beat of the song.

This is more of a beautiful art video than a rhythym game, or any other type of game for that matter.

[Beat Rocker]

Great Idea

At first (because im lazy) I tried playing this game with justthe keyboard laying flat, and found it awkward and difficult. Then i caved and picked up my keyboard and the entire game changed for me. Much more fun and more logical when you pick up the keyboard. My only complaint is similar to that of others, customizeable controls would make a world of difference. I had no trouble with all the notes and strumming with the exception of having to press ctrl some of the time, it got messy whenever that button was thrown in.

[Ongaku]

Absolutly Incredible

By far the best game of this type. Super responsive controls, arrows actually flow to a beat of the song, not impossibly hard but not overly easy. Very creative story behind it to boot. Also nice artwork.
