PoisonHeart's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Talk Head]

What an innovative tool! And for others, a great toy.

Hard to believe there are still big-leagues working in AS2.0, very surprising and cool!

[54 Dead Miles]

Pretty cool, reminds me of a game that came out not too long ago with the same principle.
My biggest complaint is that at high vehicle speeds the game lags pretty bad. Could be due to the high number of particles on-screen, I dunno.

Would have liked more vehicles, more upgrades, and less overall distance to cover.

[Zombie Night 2]

Not bad, in fact it's pretty cool. My only gripe is that the zombies just look like folks out for a stroll, not folks out to eat some brains. Aiming is a little uncomfortable, somehow, also.

[Redbeard's Treasure]

Interesting twist on Word Find paper games. It's spiced up a bit by the character of Red Bear challenging the player to get the treasure if he can solve the riddle. Graphics are functional, and gameplay is simple enough but may offer too steep a challenge for some.

[Robot Battle 1]

I think it's cool you went so far as to include a boss level.

I also think this could be pretty cool, only suggestions are:

1. Don't skim too much off the top from Metal Slug
2. Stop using Stencyl

Other than that, solid design and a great start.

[Hexagon Tribute]

Hmm, simple enough. I like the hectic pace, but don't think you should short-sell yourself on this one. You cloned his game, yeah....but surely there are things that make it unique?

Anyway, it seems like an impossible challenge, to survive that barrage of dodging for 3 minutes. But I'm sure it's possible. And I think that is what makes it addicting. I also like the addition of medals, and the straight-forward design. I'm sure you put a fair lot of work into this. I've seen some other stuff you did and it's very interesting.

Good luck!

Zanzlanz responds:

Thank you for the review! It is possible to beat it - I've lasted over 320 seconds on here :)
I definitely could have spent more time on it (I rushed it in a week or so in order to be sure I beat him to release! >:D). What I wish I spent more time on is level selecting, variety, and dynamics.

[Nerd Physics]

Not bad. Graphix are unique, if not great. Puzzle structure could use some work, as after a point it becomes a matter of reading your mind to figure out the solutions. I like that there's a walkthrough, but I wish I didn't have to visit a different website to check it.

[Nazi Doctor]

Doesn't make me sick, want to leave newgrounds, or hate you, and is only somewhat offensive. I saw Schindler's List. Is this game in poor taste? Probably. Not any more than tentacle porn, though, which has nothing to teach. Well, actually, no nevermind.

Anyway....there isn't a replay button, though. There also isn't a clear explanation as to how you are supposed to mash the word "NAZI".....all at once, sequential, any order?

I like the inclusion of history, however. The Holocaust is always relevant.

[Ultimate Gamer Quiz]

Doesn't tell you your score if you fail a quiz, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, there is also very little incentive to keep playing. Even when I beat the game and got all my checkmarks, nothing happened. I felt sort of ripped off. Also, the start button on a SNES pad is on the right.

Far from the ultimate gamer quiz.

[Caras Dune Buggy Dash]

Overall, this is a decent game with a lot of heart.

The graphics are solid, but maybe the colours blend together too well and it creates some confusion when combined with the speed of the dune buggy.

I like the design; game encourages you by stating things like "new personal best" and the pleased-looking heavy-set lady at the end. No comment on sound, can't hear it. Gameplay is decent, good sense of speed and all controls are responsive.

Would have liked to see more power-ups and upgrades. Would probably make this kick-ass.
