ornery's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Patrol]

Good start

But i dont think its done. Its a nice diea but the control scheme is wack. The ability to only shoot upwards is really annoying. I think the UFOS should shoot but remain more or less in place instead of coming down to the ground because their are times where it is impossible to survive scince you cant really aim.. A good game is challangeing, not impossible.

[Crazy Cop: New York City]

Nice cover on an overused platform

Its really just a side scrolling shooter, nothing fancy about that. But its a great new take on the most basic version of side scrollers. Nice graphics, smooth controls and animations.

Really like the look

I really liked how this game looked, the character, the graphics, everything. However just because something looks nice dosent make it great. The controls werent bad, just a bit basic. At least the animation and movement was smooth, but clicking really fast to move about gets tiring pretty quick.

[Pico: Goblin Attack]

Kinda Stupid

The gameplay itself is fine, the controls are at least responsive. But beyond some decent drawings and smooth animation lies massive problems. For starters the bullets do absolutly nothing. You kill enemies by walking into them. Also lack of an end or score counter makes the game utterly pointless.

[Warlords: Call to Arms]

Awsome game

Excellent idea, pity i suck balls at it.

[Otrail]

Very nice concept

MY only complaint is that it dosent seem to matter where on the paddle you hit the ball, it does the same thing no matter what. The only way to change direction of the ball seems to be to hit it against something, as opposed to hitting the opposite end of the paddle like in real ball/paddle games. Other than that I really dug it.

Owww my head

Damn, this thing hurts my head, makes me dizzy. Great idea, could use a bit of minor tweeking in the movements and stuff, but otherwise great new take on an old classic. Really painful to play for to long though, my head hurts and my eyes are twisted up in a knot.

[Multiball Madness]

Great small time killer

Really basic, but in a good way. Its original which is a plus. The only imporvment I can really suggest is to add power ups or something of the sort.

Arby responds:

Two of my objectives were to a) make a game that could be picked up near instantly and b) was fairly uniform so that I could attach a high score table to it and the highscores wouldn't just be people who got alot of powerups. =)

Thanks for the review.

Hard as all hell

I was never very good at this type of game, it seemed for me that it was more of a matter of get the enemy before he can attack, as opposed to kill the enemy while dodging his attacks. Great game otherwise. Im not going to hold my sucking at this style game against this one.
