[Wink: the Game]

Great movie, good game

I loved it, the movie parts of it were great the game was good too. Again just like with the last Wink game, I loved the intro, this time I loved it even more as you came up with an excuse as to why the previous one didn't have an ending.

The main section of the game seemed a little too short, there wasn't much playing and then you were straight onto the boss who in my opinion took too long to beat, had he been harder it would have been an acceptable length, but he was just too easy and it got kind of boring after a while of slowly wearing him down bit by bit until he finally died.

It was nice to see the health bar included in this one as that was missing from the last one and it was much needed.

I loved the end movie to this, it was just really funny and in my opinion was the best part of this submission, I loved how Wink's girlfriend killed the princess in a helicopter out of jealousy and then how the whole thing turned out to be a game that Wink and his girlfriend were playing.

Overall it was great, the movie parts were done to perfection, however the main section of the game needed to be longer and the boss needed to be harder to beat, as he was just far too easy. Anyway, well done, great job, keep up the great work.

Peace Out, Afro Stud

Glad you liked the game now, after playing the old alpha.

There's more than one way to beat the boss. You don't HAVE to slowly wear him down by shooting him. ;)

The main game is too short? Yikes! I'm not sure how many platforming Flash games you play that last longer, but I thought it was a pretty decent length, especially for a Flash game!

Good game, but pointless due to no ending

You shouldn't have submitted this as it isn't the finished version and I feel that demos/trailers/previews/unfinished work 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.

Demo/Trailer/Preview/Unfinished Work rant over.

I loved the intro movie, it was very nicely done, it set up the story greatly. The game was good and I ended up really getting into it, but then I completed it and it was just a drawing of a dragon and some text saying that the game wasn't complete, it took a fair amount of time to get that far, as it took me a while to work out how to play it and get used to the controls, and when I completed it and got to the end I was really dissapointed as there was no ending, just soem text and a drawing within the game and you were still able to move, I felt completely let down, as getting that far hadn't made me achieve anything, you should have at least had an end movie in this if you were going to submit unfinished work, which you shouldn't have done in the first place.

The game was fun to play when you got the hang of things and I did really get into it and I really enjoyed it, to improve it you should have had a health bar so you could see how close you were to dying, I'm not even sure if you could die in this though, if you couldn't you should have been able to so that there was more of a challenge. Despite the action being fairly repetitive this was still fun, perhaps due to the different staffs maybe.

As you know already this game was full of glitches, the first time I didn't start out at the plane like you were supposed to and at times it became very laggy.

I'm not sure if your aware of this problem or not though, this game fucked up my computer, it wouldn't let me close the game and I couldn't open or close anything else, I couldn't load the start menu and CTRL+ALT+DEL didn't even work, so obviously there was some sort of major problem in this game, as not only did the game mess up, my computer did too. I'm not sure if I'm the only one to experience this problem or not, but if I am you should sort this out immediately so that others don't have to experience the same problem, as I was kinda pissed off that I had to restart my computer(I'm not letting this problem effect the score I've given this game in any way though).

Overall it was a good game and it was fun to play, it was just completely let down by the fact that there wasn't an ending, which made the game pointless. It was also further let down by the few glitches that were in it.

Peace Out, Afro Stud

2/5(What this game deserves in terms of how good it was)

As this game was a Demo/Trailer/Preview/Unfinished Work I shall vote 0 for it despite the fact that it earnt a higher score, sorry but those are my rules when it comes to Demos/Trailers/Previews/Unfinished Work

0/5(What I shall be voting for this submission)

[Pirate fun!]

Just yet another challengless click-on-things game

That was just completely pointless, there was no challenge to it whatsoever, 20 or so pirates heads come on the screen and you have to click on them, it was too simple and no challenge was presented, maybe they should have been attacking you and have to kill them all before they kill you or something, as that would ahve given the game a challenge, meaning that they'd have been some sort of point towards it. Perhaps you could have had music in it too and you should have had some better sound effects as the ones you had were just pretty annoying.

[Fart Dictionary]

Why'd you submit this twice?

As if it wasn't bad enough that you submitted this the first time, because someone else had this idea first, just like they did you submitted it twice why?

As this was basically exactly the same as Fart Library, my review for that applys for this as there was practically no difference whatsoever.

This has to be the worst soundboard I've ever seen, in fact it's the worst submission I've ever seen, no in fact it's the worst thing I've ever experienced in my entire life. It was just a bunch of soundclips of fart noises, it really wasn't funny at all, fart jokes aren't funny they never were and they never will be, there's absolutely nothing funny about farting, so why make a soundboard of different fart noises? It was horrible, just horrible.
Please don't steal others ideas, come up with your own ones and submit them. Also please don't submit the same submission twice, there really is no point whatsoever in doing it, especially when you submit it again two minutes after you submitted it the first time.

[The Fart Library]

Why'd you submit this twice?

Not only did you submit this twice but you submitted it three minutes after you submitted the first one making no changes to it whatsoever. Please don't submit the same submission twice, there's no point in doing so whatsoever.

Something I missed out from my last review, why is there no number 9? And number 10 is what's called a burp not a fart.

As this is the exact same submission as Fart Library my review for that still stands as it's the same thing, so here it is:

This has to be the worst soundboard I've ever seen, in fact it's the worst submission I've ever seen, no in fact it's the worst thing I've ever experienced in my entire life. It was just a bunch of soundclips of fart noises, it really wasn't funny at all, fart jokes aren't funny they never were and they never will be, there's absolutely nothing funny about farting, so why make a soundboard of different fart noises?

[Thing-Thing 2]

Boring and challengeless

Again I liked how you could design your own character, but again a nice touch would have been if certain heads and bodies improved one stat and made another stat worse.

Survival mode was terrible, there were long periods of time where there were no enemies whatsoever, which just meant sitting around for ages jsut waiting, when they did appear it was still just far too easy as there was no challenge to it whatsoever, they just walked slowly towards you and you shot them, they had no guns so they didn't present an form of challenge, they should have been carrying guns so that it was possible for you to actually take damage, making it possible for you to die, the only way you could get taken out in this was if you were to just stand still letting them come right up to you and hit you, no-ones going to be that stupid, so dying was impossible. Also there was no option to go back to the menu, so to get abck there you ahd to close the game down and load it up again, you really should have had a end survival button.

It was nice to see that the problems with the last one were gone, the guns worked fine and you could read your health and ammo status clearly.

The main game was just as bad as survival, there was no challenge to it whatsoever, none of the enemies carried any guns, so there was no way that they were ever going to hurt you, yet again it was simply move around and shoot them, occasionly you'd have to kill so many to proceed but that wasn't really a challenge due to the fact that the game was just so simple..

Then came the boss, okay he presented some sort of challenge, but it wasn't much of one, when he was on the ground, you just had to jump up onto the platform and shoot him from above, and whenevr he went up you just had to drop back down and stand below the platform, okay it was harder than the boss in the first one, but it was still far too easy, you should have made him follow you around, whenevr you went up or down so that there was a challenge to it, all he ever did was just shoot the enemies for you.

You also should have used a different screen at the end, so that it didn't just say game over as that wasn't clear enough that you'd actually completed it, it was obvious that you had, but the screen should have said so. There also should have been a movie sequence at the end.

Overall this game was just really boring due to the repetitive action, as each level was practically the same(with a couple of exceptions), the fact that it presented no challenge whatsoever just made it even worse, you should have had some sort of story to it and you should have given the enemies guns like you did in the first, which was much better than this one.

[Thing-Thing]

Good game, but far too short.

It was a fun game to play, but it was just far too short, not long after escaping from the prison it was all over, you look at some creature on the roof of a building and it just ends, it should have continued on from there as there just wasn't much in this at all. You should have made it clearer that that was the end, as when I got to that point and chose to examine the creature, I thought I'd just been killed, so I played through again, this time planning to ignore the creature and just continue, but I found out that I couldn't and then I realised that I'd completed it the first time, you should have had a screen come up that informs you that you've just completed the game so that it's clear.

I liked how you could create your own design for the character and there was a wide variety, maybe a nice touch would have been that certain heads and certain bodies give you better stats in one area and worse in another or something, like for example, the bandolir could give you more ammo for your guns whenever you get one, but makes you take more damage from enemy fire, doing things like that would have been a very nice touch that would have given you a good reason to go back and play it again.

The game was fun to play, but it needed to be improved on in certain areas, like when you were using most of the automatic guns, it was too hard to control and you'd only really end up getting one bullet from it to hit the enemy or two if you were lucky, you should ahve made them slightly easier to control so that you'd be more likely to use them, as I just ended up using the standard pistols, as they were much easier to control.

Also with the status in the top right corner that told you how much health and how much ammo you had left, the numbers weren't fully on the screen and you could only see part of them, you should have made the box containing this information bigger, so that it was easy to see how much health and how many bullets you had left.

A problem that happened to me the second time I played it was that the guard who's in the room with you at the start didn't drop the gun, which meant it was impossible to proceed as you needed to use the gun to get out of the cell, perhaps you should look into that problem and update this when you've sorted it out.

The boss was too easy as all you had to do was jump up onto the platform and shoot him from above, and if he ever jumped up you just had to drop off the edge, back down to the ground, his actions were also too slow, he barely ever attacked, you should have increased his attack rate so that the action was more fast paced, meaning that he'd have been much harder to defeat.

I liked it how when you went outside, you finally saw colour, it was a great way to represent his feelings on escaping and finally seeing the outside world again.

Overall, despite a few little problems here and there it was a good game and it was fun to play, however it was just far too short, which really let the game down as there just wasn't enough in it.

[Learn andPlay bass *Unfin]

Nice idea but pointles du 2 the fact its unfinishd

You shouldn't have submitted this as it isn't the finished version and I feel that demos/trailers/previews/unfinished work 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.

Demo/Trailer/Preview/Unfinished Work rant over.

It was a nice idea, but it was nowhere near complete, which made it completely pointless, you'd done 1 string and a small part of another, if you were going to submit it you should have completed it first as this was just completely pointless as an unfinished piece of work. You also needed to increase the area that you could click on on the strings to play the particular note as the area you had was too small and you had to position the cursor in a very specific position to be able to play the note, and it just made it kinda hard to play. You also needed to improve the sound as each note cut out earlier then it should have done and it was too easy to hear the note cutting out.

[Indiana Bones part 1]

Good fun, I liked it

That was a good game, it was ncie working out what to do, some of them were just random and there was no way of knowing which one to pick but that was fine. It was great fun trying to work out how to kill the green guy, it took me a while to work that one out, that's why that was my favourite part, to make this better you could have improved the sound and perhaps added a bit more to it and given you some more choices to make, but it was still a fine game. I know it's been five years now, but come on make part 2, I for one would love to see it. Well done, good job, keep up the good work.
