ShadyDingo's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Helmet Heroes]

All in all not a bad game to play if you want something straightforward, requires no critical thinking, and is generally a repetitive grindfest.

Some gripes I have;

There are plenty of level flaws where textures are acting all wonky with menus. The game has a skill/ability system that is somewhat broken and needs fine tuning. Combat is simple and effective, but lacks excitement. You go into each new zone hoping you deal enough damage to the monsters to sit there and farm them for several hours before moving on to the next zone. That is, assuming you grind enough gold to pay for your new gear that will greatly surpass the previous stuff you were using.

Exp and gold gains are slow and miserable, and the only way to alleviate that is with in game purchases. Sure you can get to a point where you farm enough in game gold to get the premium currencies to afford those premium features, but its definitely designed in a way to make you thirst for that advantage. Purchasing anything in a game, in my opinion, should be a fun, enjoyable expense. It shouldn't feel like once I have it I can actually begin to enjoy the game and progress through it without any worries.

It is a simple, watered down MMO to its core. And with no real cap for player leveling, as well as no diverse story or crazy game play elements, it will suffice while I sit at work and wait for customers.

Essentially,

Gameplay 3/5
Progression 2/5
Replayability 3/5
Story 0/5
Amount of Fun 3/5

Cheers! Hope you get time to do updates Rob. This has potential. You have potential. We believe in you.

Absolutely love this game! But, running into a few bugs and stuff. What would be the best way to reach you about bug reports, etc? Since this comment can't be edited by the player or have more added?

Hey thanks! You can PM me anytime :) Cheers!

[Heroes of Glory]

Right away I see elements of League of Legends. When the "good guys" are battling I see just a variation of Volibear, Pantheon, Sona, Sivir and Ashe. It bothers me that game developers these days just don't have the creative talent or minds to just go away from a beaten path. But, what do I know? I'm just a lowly consumer, no?

23 - 70

Overall a fantastic game. There were a few interesting points in the game but totally something awesome and classic. Brought be back to the old game pong itself and how much I enjoyed it then, just with more variables invovled. Had me on my toes, though super pacman at the end was easy to beat so the end game wasn't as fruitful.

[Cripple Cannon]

Finished the game after about 30 minutes but holy hell it was amazing. The last mission I had this setup where in the last room you had to jump out of to reach the ambulance, the old guy was bouncing around aimlessly for about a good 5 minutes+ and I didn't want to just stop it, and the damn thing spat him out perfectly on top of the ambulance, essentially winning the last area. What a great game, 6/5!

[The Fan Easy Pacman Game]

Perhaps I'm not the greatest at math, but there weren't 8 levels. Needs more. Pretty much every aspect of this game needs to be "plussed."

[Bouncre]

Definitely has the potential of being something awesome :) I enjoyed this, probably one of the better games in the under judgement. Please push this further in game design and concept.

DogDevelopment responds:

Thank you. It's just a beginning since I made it in only 4 hours of my spare time for fun.
So it was like test game for this great site. I just wanted to know do people like my idea as this is just one of them but I want to make games for android and make it for android store. So that is my main goal for future.

Thank you all. It is great thing if you enjoyed and that is the most important thing :D

[The Evil Sandwich Man]

It has the potential of being something better. I understand this is essentially the production quality of a 7 year old child. If this gets blammed, I'd take the time to redo this into something "better" and more worthwhile.

[Spike Fly]

Furthest I got was 15, but the speed of the game shouldn't be reduced based on points earned. Sort of defeats the purpose, it almost eradicates the difficulty of the game entirely.

[Fantasmagoricron]

This has the makings of a very basic platformer, but needs a LOT of work. Sprite animations could have more frames, dangerous things/kill boxes are ridiculous, music should be reconsidered, and overall art style needs improvement. I would suggest you remove this and really put more time into this before resubmitting. Don't give up.
