[The Insanity Box]

random and entertaining

Another random quiz game that wasn't quite entertaining enough for me to even try to finish. A couple of the problems seemed like you would have to view the walkthrough to even figure out. I got to the 75-100 bracket and failed on the same puzzles every time, then got bored and wandered off. Although I did like the "Hold on loading" puzzle, kinda had me stumped for a few seconds. Most of the rest aren't worth mentioning. All in all it was boring repetitive and been done before. Props for actually putting together 100 quizes/puzzles. But all in all I have to give this one a Fail.

How about I give YOU a fail, dear faceless internet reviewer?

[Ultimate Defense 2]

Better than the first

The game was great, but I've got a few suggestions for ya this time around too.
I loved the idea of having mana potions, but they were a little difficult to use, especially when I wanted to destroy a particular unit with mass spells. It would be better if they were located on the spells screen, or had a hotkey assigned to them. Also, the addition of mana potions gave me an idea . . . Health potions. Increase the game difficulty again (still didn't die, although at least this time around I didn't end with 100hp) and add health potions on that digging thing. 5 or 10hp each is all they would need.
I have to say I liked the new spell setup. Mana is a lot easier to get than the first game, and the poison spell got nerfed. I was kinda annoyed the first game that you could drop poison on a boss and kill it before it got to the end because the poison never faded. The Lightning and Trap spells were also a nice addition.
The minigame was also a good idea, but the slot game was a poor choice. Sound and Visual were repetitive, and payout was extremely low. I once sat through 22 spins and got 100 money for my trouble. Grand total for the whole game was $700. With odds that low you need bigger payouts.
This game needs some visual upgrades. Some of the levels were exactly the same as the first game >:( Although I did like the new ones when I got to them. I especially liked the levels that had only a few placement areas on one side. It made for a more strategic battle. I think you could even make a map that had no placement on one side and make people use the longer range units in combination with the spells to win the battle.
On the subject of new units, I could take them or leave them. I liked the idea of of the knight unit, huge power but only one space of damage. Unfortunately there was really only one level where they were worth putting out there. The Warriors were kinda lame. Just too expensive for the amount of damage delt.
Also, what was up with the last level? No boss? First game took 4 dragons to kill the big baddie. In this game I never even had a chance to put a dragon into play.
My biggest complaint about this game were the bugs. If it weren't for all the little glitches you'd have a 10 from me.
-The Archers would occasionally have the level up emote enacted upon placement, this was usually followed by them firing arrows ceaslessly at nothing. The sound was the most annoying part of that.
-Speaking of sound, the Warriors didn't seem to have a sound when attacking. The Knights made a little *tink* noise but complete silence from the warriors.
-I noticed on levels that had a "boss" that the level would end prematurely if the big critter was splatted. I enjoyed burning through a few mana potions and lighting him up like a christmas tree, but there were still five or six monsters on the playing field when he died and the level ended.
All in all I had a lot of fun playing this game, and I hope you continue to produce sequels. I also hope that if you do make a 3rd that this review will be of some help to you. 5/5 for the awesome game. 8/10 for the glitches.

[Newgrounds Character Quiz]

Salad fingers?

Don't even know who that is, but judging by the reviews a lot of people are getting that result. Now if I had gotten Foamy as the newgrounds person I'm most like, I would place more credibility in this quiz. Besides the innacuracy, this quiz was fun to take, had interesting questions, and a random enough result to keep me entertained. Music was good, didn't find any glitches, or any gramatical errors which are common with these types of things. All in all a decent production. 4/5 8/10

[Star Serpent Sigma]

Decent game

Music during ship selection is from Sonny.
I liked it, but found it too easy. didn't take a single hit during the entire first level and just quit after that.

[Beauty Resort]

alright

game was all right, customers need to learn some patience. Wait your damn turn fools!
This game was just too much like work for my taste. Keeping people happy just isn't my cup of tea.

[Neo Orb]

Nice one.

So, a friend of mine walks over while I'm playing this game and says, "You need to get rid of the blacks."

To all the people bitching about no instructions, Don't skip the intro fucktards. But for those of you who don't care and just wanna play, click on one of the orbs in the sidbar on the right of the screen, and click on an orb in the field to swap those 2 orbs. Get 3 like colors in a row and blah blah blah. Pretty damn self explanatory after that.
Besides, the Story is more than half the fun. I'm a fan of the Space Chicken series, and if an "episode" happens to be a game instead, sweet deal.

*final note, ran into a bug. not sure what caused it but I was on lvl 3-3, lost, started back at 3-1 and couldn't click on any of the orbs. Had to close it out and start over =(

[Tails: Cosmic Rush]

Yes! beat lvl 1

Sweet game, bro. Tails has always been my favorite Sonic character, and having a whole platform with just Tails is an awesome idea. I thoroughly enjoyed the game.

However, the difficulty was very annoying and unnecessary. If we could just see the obstacles before dying on them the game would have been a lot more fun.

On a positive note, the auto checkpoints were a welcome addition and the cutscenes were so flawless I tried to play through one of them. Fantastic job, hope you can get everything fixed and resubmit the full version. Good Luck!

[Shape Escape Concept]

simple and deceptively challenging.

I liked it, nice and simple and still fun. I hope you do decide to make some more levels. great game.

[Invisible Gauntlet]

very original

Haven't seen anything this ingenious since Shift. Great memory puzzle game. My only complaint is the monotony, every puzzle is just a maze with some enemies and a few doors with keys. got bored after 20 of them and stopped, but otherwise good game. I'll still give you a 10/10 since it could be more my short attention span than the monotany of the game.

[Falling Furries]

so cute.

AAAHH my eyes! the cuteness, it hurts!
That being said, the game has a good concept and decent playability. but it still needs a bonus level to kill the little critters off. I know I killed enough of them by accident. I love how the score comes up with "good enough" when you don't get them all.
