FinaLee's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[olskoo game 2.0]

Truly humbled to have played a small part in this amazing work of art.

[War of the Worlds | Episode 1: The Arrival]

Just an FYI, this game is actually playable on desktop too.

Luminem responds:

You're right, but best experience is on phone due resolution I used and way controls were thought

[Dominion Ex]

Really fun game! Sunk about half an hour into this trying to get past the third level. Wish I was better at these vertical shooters. This is a good one for sure!

Extar responds:

Glad you're enjoying it! If you're having trouble maybe try picking different upgrades. You can increase your max lives if you upgrade the ship hull. :)

[Davis's Pinball Mania Vol 1]

Hope you're able to expand upon this. It would be really cool to have a fleshed out pinball experience with artwork, lights, and a variety of arcade sounds.

SuperDavisDon responds:

Yes, yes, thank you FinaLee, I can always go back to his game. Right now I am pumping out a few games for bank, views, feedback, and build an awesome game dev portfolio.

For now, I need to make more games. I already lost interest in making this game in 2 weeks. xD. What can anyone do? But yeah, I know, it's I want to put out more games for experience. -Davis

[Saved by the Bell]

Well, looking at the medals, I thought there were going to be a lot more in game characters to save, but instead I get a slew of medal unlocks when the game ends. It was a nice punny game that I liked playing, but those arrow controls are so tight that I think it detracted a lot from the enjoyment.

[Starry Knight]

Pretty fun game! The little trajectory path from the last slingshot was really helpful. I think I would have been here forever without it! There seems to be a little dropdown maximizer button right next to the restart button, which was a little annoying since I would end up maximizing the screen whenever I just want to restart. Other than that, very fun and challenging game!

[Album Cover Parodies]

Proud to say that there was only one that I had no clue about. Great to gauge on someone's knowledge of timeless albums. Music can be a little irritating after a while, though. :>

[Breaking Bricks]

Gotta tell ya, man this is a hardly playable version of Breakout. I don't know what glitches the other guys are experiencing, so I'll only tell you what I saw.

For one, the ball can easily travel between the blocks. This isn't really a bad thing, I guess, until I noticed that many of the bricks being hit weren't registering, so I just found the ball oscillating a lot between two purple blocks.

Also, I found that the ball is capable of travelling UNBEARABLY slow when it's hit a certain way. I almost considered quitting the game right then because it was taking so long for the ball to come back to the paddle. This coupled with the other glitch I mentioned means it can take upwards of a minute for the ball to come back.

One more thing. I found the ball to sometimes bounce off a wall and move in a strictly horizontal path. I'm not too proficient in physics, but I just don't see how this could possibly happen. I'm inclined to think that you used GamerMaker to make this game, and I've found it to exhibit some very strange mechanics when I played around with it years ago.
