Bit buggy.

Well, it was pretty buggy.
The game seems way too buggy and random to be that much fun to play, it's hard to tell where the range of your weapon starts and finish. That's a small problem.
But a larger problem is the controls, they aren't great either.
A good effort, but it's not much fun to play.

Decent game.

This is a very good shooter, there's just a few minor problems.
The ship is too unresponsive, it takes too long to fire and aim your weapons, and the manoeuverability is fairly poor.
It's not the easiest of games to get the hang of, the controls aren't natural, but I couldn't see an easier way to set them up. Perhaps an option of setting controls would be nice, that way... if the person disagrees with the controls, they have no one to blame except themselves.
It might have been better if you had an "aim up/down" rather than rotating option, that's my main suggesstion. You know, where the weapon aims at an angle 45 degrees different to normal, Super Metroid on the SNES is a perfect example of what i'm talking about.
If those few minor gripes go ignored, it still remains a great shooter, it looks and sounds brilliant (better then most), and there's lots of different weapons to play with and enemies to kill.

If only the game was easier to control, this would be one of the greatest games on newgrounds.

Great job! You earned my 5/5.

NegativeONE responds:

The unresponsiveness might be related to latency. Try running the game on lower settings to see if it's any better. Also, there actually *was* an option to set up your own control configuration. It was.. in the Options menu 0_0. Someone else suggested the Super Metroid thing too. It's actually a pretty good idea. Come to think of it, though, a few of the things you said sounded strikingly familiar, but maybe my brain's just playing tricks.
Thanks for your review.

Why bother?

It's a fully functional binary to decimal converter, the only thing I have to say is... why have this on Newgrounds? The reason as to how or why this was protected is beyond me.
Seems a bit pointless and out of place, you could have at least had it convert the other way as well, that would help the score a little bit.
YOu could have included hex to make it a bit more interesting as well, but besides all that.
Sub-par.

Cool seasonal shooter

It's pretty good, it looks very nice!
It has some good music, and is pretty fun to play.
There's a few problems though, after the first level, the "pull" doesn't result in an elf being launched the first time, that, and the music on/off button gets in the way sometimes, it would have been better to have an assigned key to turn it off.
It could be made to look clearer when you've actually hit the elf as well.
None of these take away from the fun though - nice work.

fun to play.

It's pretty fun to play, looks nice with decent enough sounds.
Simple gameplay which quickly gets moderately difficult, although I wouldn't want to play it over and over again.
It's for a quick laugh, and a great time killer.

Sub-Par.

Not bad for a quick laugh though, it just got a bit boring pretty fast.
There needed to be some better graphics, also, the white background was bland.
Some music would have made this seem a lot better. Fairly original but dull.
Respectable though, just, not my style.

Alright

Seems to work OK, the sounds aren't that badm and it looks alright.
The game's just too simple and boring to play for more than a couple of minutes.
It's very unoriginal, but there was a nice effort in there somewhere, definately not one of my favourites, but it's respectible..

Out of date/

Looks OK and has some nice quiet music, but adding the points total wasn't a great idea - they'll be out of date by tomorrow. A good idea and may be useful.

Try adding in the points calculator, saying something like "whats the #1 ranked user's experience", and when the number comes up, the calculator does all the work.

Search for it in the BBS, Newgrundling is the one who made it.

Seasonal fun!

Nice game, looks and sounds great, fun to play, the only problem I have with it is that it's pretty hard to hit the targets, frequently I'm throwing snowballs too hard or too softly. With a better control system this would be even better.

Stick with the RAB cartoons.

Average.

This isn't anything that hasn't been done before, it's just a short version of Stick Figure Penalty without any of the features that make Stick Figure Penalty really good.
The sticks don't look very good, the sound effects are OK, and there's not enough deaths.
I didn't like the "back to options" button - it left me right over one of the deaths I'd already done a few times, it's somewhat of a design flaw.
