[Trapped 3]

The best Trapped so far

The ahrdest one so far and it's the best, you ahd some very nice ideas in this one and thats why it was so great, I particularly liked the part where you had to turn the things. The part with the mysterious voice where you had to follow the pattern was too hard as it moved too quickly and you couldn't really follow it, if it hadn't been for you putting down the pattern in your author's comments I'd never ahve found it out, perhaps you should modify this so it doesn't move so fast. To improve this you could ahve used some sound effects for like when the bomb blew up and stuff, this should have been combined with the last two in one game, as one level was still a bit too short, sure this one took the longest to complete but it was still only one level.

[Trapped 2]

An improvement on the first, but still too short

That was much better than the first as you used more features in it, which were nice to see, it was harder than the first one as well which was also a nice touch, and also the music fitted much better with the game, although the major flaw with the original was still here, it was only one level, so it was way too short, this level should have been part of the first game.

[Trapped]

A nice, unique game

It was nice and I liked it, very different from anything else I've seen, but it was too short, I completed level 1 then it gave me the password for level 2, but that was it it was all over, I'm assuming that level 2, is Trapped 2, which I'm going to go and play now, but that shouldn't be the case, you should have had all the levels in one game, this was too short, it was only one level and I had to drop the score because of it.

[Spiffy Spaceguy III (a)]

Far too easy

It was way too easy, there was no way you were ever going to be killed, you just had to move the ship about with the mouse and left click to fire at the enemy ships, it would have been better if it was harder to survive, perhaps ships could have been coming from all directions or something, and you should have had it so when you get so many points, more ships start coming, making it harder, soem background music would also have been nice, as would ahving stars in the background instead of it just being black, it did need a lot of work, it was just a really poor space shooter.

[Stealth: Masion Crises]

A very poor shooting game

It wasn't entertaining at all and there was no fun to be had with it, when you shot people the bullet hole always appeared in their chest no matter where you hit them, you should ahve set it up so it appears whereever you hit them, it really did not a lot of work, I'm not even going to go into what you could have done to improve this as it needed to be improved in so many aspects to even be an average game, just yet another really poor shooter.

[THE OJ GAME!]

Seemed pointless

Pated images with a question and you either have to get the guy convicted as Marsha or get found not guilty if your O.J., I didn't really see any point to it and anyone could have made this

[Tamagotchi Abuse]

Was different but could have been better

This could have been good had you used a different style, like drawing the Tamagotchi pet as a normal flash movie style instead of being pixelated, as it just didn't really work too well as it was.

[Bloodlust]

Great game, but it's only a demo

You shouldn't have submitted this as it isn't the finished version and I feel that demos/trailers don't deserve to be submitted to Newgrounds as they are not the finished version, you should wait until you finish something before deciding to submit it.

Yeah, yeah, I know I loved this but sorry, my usual demo/trailer rant still has to go in and unfortunately I still have to vote 0 even though in terms of a game it would earn a 4(sorry it's my principles).

That was a great game and it played really well, it could have been improved though, you should have drawn the hand and gun yourself as it would ahve looked better and more consistent with the graphics, better sound effects would also have been an improvement, when you shot the SWAT guards, no matter where you shot them, the bullet holes always appeared in the same place until they were dead, you should have done it so that the bullet holes appeared where they got shot, it would also have been nice if when you entered the hotel and shot one of the guys the other had reacted instead of just sitting there, as it looked a bit weird.

(All of that probably sounded like I hated it, when I loved it(apart from the whole, it being a demo thing))

I'd love to see the final version of this, please submit it to Newgrounds, from this demo I could tell that you had a damn great game in the making, anyway well done, keep up the great work(but don't submit any more demos/trailers).

[Goth Warz - Sample]

Is that it?

Okay that was pointless, you have to kill one thing and it's over, there's nothing else, you move around but there's nothin it's all over, it needed a lot more to it, even for a sample.

You shouldn't have submitted this as it isn't the finished version and I feel that demos/trailers don't deserve to be submitted to Newgrounds as they are not the finsihed version, you should wait until you finish something before deciding to submit it.

[NSG003:HyperSpottheDiffer]

Completely pointless(sorry)

There didn't seem to be any point to this game and in the end i just gave up as it was too boring, easy and pointless.

It was pointless because it was way too easy to spot the differences all they were were a change on the picture, but it changed before your eyes therefore showing you where it is and it was way too easy, if this were to be a reaction game it was still poor as not only was the difference too obvious but you had too much time to be able to click on it. I didn't like the sound at all, the clapping every time you clicked on the difference was just annoying and you were basically constantly clicking, so the clapping was constant, which made it even more annyoing.

I'm so sorry for the bad review(your still my favourite flash author), I do kinda feel bad for giving you a bad review, but I'm sorry it had to be done for this game.

Stay fizzy.

Bezman responds:

You raised a few points. These are my replies.

- I meant it to be easy to see the differences. More about quick thinking than observational skills.

- The time you get is constantly reduced. So it does work as a reaction game. Since by the time you get to 40 or 50, you only get a tiny amount of time. (Get on the high score table before saying it's too easy, dude...)

- Clapping - yeah, a stupid addition. Folk kept saying my stuff should have sound. That's the only clapping sample I could get. Personally, I'm in favour of aural feedback, but it annoys me too at times.

Thanks for an honest review.

No need to feel bad. I always like feedback, good or bad.

Stay funky,
- Bez
