j00bie's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pocket Soccer]

OK game

A little hard to play.
Somebody showed me this game with the intention of it being stolen... anyways, since I'm reviewing the 'ripped-off' version, I've got the hang of the controls more and more as time went on, and it's a bit easier to play the game as you learn em.
It's well coded, and fun for a while, but I wouldn't play it very often, if ever again.

[uncle sam fights back!]

Quick game.

This is simply an above average stick fight, with some nicely animated frame by frame effects.
It was a bit too short though, the fight was over before anything really interesting/entertaining happened.
Add a couple more scenes on to this, and it will be a lot better!
You have the talent, just exploit it man!

[Bouncer Ball]

Fun, but gets dull.

6's all around! Pure coincedince too!
The game is pretty original, so you get some style marks for that, but it gets pretty boring and repetitive too fast for my liking.
It appears to be coded quite well, the flash itself is simply average though.
The graphics are fine asethetically, and the music is nice to listen to.
Definately better than a lot of things I see on this site, that's for sure.

[Make sp character ver.1]

Average dress up.

Well, for a first flash, it's decent, but overall... it's poor.
It's simply an average dress-up style-esque game, it's really not the sort of thing that I'd play.... but it looks alright anyways.
From what I see, you've got an improved version of this, so I dont see why this version even exists.
An OK sound track in the background, but overall, the flash is mediocre.

[Space Invaders 3D]

Slow...

6's all around, pure coincedince too!
This is an accurate enough space invaders game, the only flaw is when the music is playing, it slows down to unplayable!
The levels, even on low quality, arent that great.
Apart from all of that, it's simply Space Invaders.
It works, but it's unoriginal, and it sucks.

[LARP Shooter 200X]

simple shooter.

6's all around! heh, pure coincedince!
This is simply some good, clean, point and click fun!
I thought that the death screams were a bit too loud, at least for my liking...
The graphics were just a bit too sloppy/jumpy.
all and all, this game was very fast and furious, definately worth a play, or two! Maybe even three!

[Space Journey]

Fun, and educational!

This is not the sort of thing that you plan to see on Newgrounds every day, but, this was definitely somewhat enjoyable, and fun to watch.
The graphics are decent, and the sounds were alright.
It tells you a lot of things, and you'll probably learn something, though somewhat useless in the real world.
I'd say this is underrated, and deserves to be rated higher.

[SBC Nibbles]

Flawed.

Well, I think that it is good to see an attempt at some multiple difficulty levels (though even the difficult difficulty is too easy for me), but I think that there's lots of bugs in this game to be enjoyable.
The scoreboard is broken, and it's not simply too easy as unlike in Snake, but your character doesn't even get any longer! It makes it much too easy, and dull and repetitive (even more so then the original!!!).
If you were to try and fix the scoreboard for this, and if you were to make some more difficulty levels (even harder then the current hardest, or add more walls and a maze, as already suggested).
This sort of game has been done way too many times, and for it to be any good (if at all possible), it would have to be an absoloute BRILLIANT parody of it...
This wasnt even as good as the original, and is therefore, poorer then the very basic Cell phone games. That is just showing how poor this game truly is.
Even more so, this 2 I am giving you is a HUGE overstatement, I just couldn't stand to give such a classic, old submission anything less then a 1 or 0.
Definately needs improvements, but judging by the date of the submission, I doubt that'll ever happen. Which is a shame, because SBC as snake is a pretty classy, fun idea! It was just poorly executed.

[Bradd's Magic Ball]

Unoriginallity at its maximum.

This whole eightball thing concept has been done several times before, and is extremely unoriginal even before it was fresh.
Though, there's a good selection of replies available... though random, but I think that it would be better if the useres could actually type something into it, rather than just clicking stuff...
It's a nice effort, but it's ultimately a boring, simple, not-too-fun game.

[Hit Santa]

Good, short..

5's all around! heh, pure coincedince!
This is a little out of season from the time i am currently watching it, but I guess thats my fault... heh...,
It's fun to play for a while.
I like the way that the snowballs actually had to take some time to reach the target, it surprisingly adds a bit more realism to the game (if possible), and it's something you don't see very often anymore.
Graphics and sounds were good, except that weird lookin red blob when you hit your target, it looked poor, and I feel it could have been made a little bit better asthetically.
