[Lander II - Lunar Rescue]

Great lander game.

I've always been a big fan of lander games, it's a shame that most of them here are simply copies of each other.
This one is a lot different and much better, there's actually objectives, multiple levels, and plenty of things to collect.
It's a proper game as opposed to a demonstration of a lander engine.
Great fun! difficult, quality old school gaming.

Great job!

Seawana responds:

Thanks very much. I've always enjoyed these games too and this was basically my homage to the lander genre. However, as you noted, I didn't want to just build a lander engine because ... well, who cares? It's gotta be a fun game too. The engine is easy, making it fun is the challenge. I'm glad you enjoyed playing Lander II - Lunar Rescue.

[Thincat's SpaceMutantGame]

Not that bad...

A pretty poor game, the absence of sound is a big, big problem, and the gameplay is very dull.
Works OK though, the graphics are average, seems to be fairly bug free.
Just not enough challenge or things of interest to be worth playing.

[Pop Them!]

Terrible.

WOW BUBBLE WRAP!
Pop stuff with the mouse, fun for about 10 seconds, if your lucky.
Cannot hope to match the real thing.
Average but dull.

[Pong'it]

ZzZzZzZz

It needs to be more interesting and appealing, i got pretty bored of it.
Though it's a solid game, the angle the ball takes off the side wall is completely unnatural, it was hard to coordinate with that...
playing for about 10 minutes with the score at 1-1, I just got bored of it.
The Computers AI needs to be lowered, that's my only criticism.

Well, one more thing.
2 players would be nice :D.

[Galactic Space Invaders]

Might have been original a long time ago

Every arcade game from the early 80's and backwards has been done to death on Newgrounds, including Space Invaders (oh god no!). Looks nicer than most, but as usual, it's unoriginal.
I never really liked Space Invaders anyway.
A good clone, but as usual, very pointless.

XSDSX responds:

True that.

[BM - Snake]

Another snake clone...

There's enough poor Snake games on Newgrounds as it is without creating an incredibly slow, boring version with no sound and no challenge.
The only good spot is the background which is passable. that's it though, nothing new, or interesting.
1/5

[Rufus Dress-UP]

Unoriginallity at its maximum.

Seriously, there's already way too many boring dress up games on Newgrounds, this just adds to its collection.
There's a fair collection of items to play with and the music is alright, but it's ultimately pointless.

1/5

[The Dancing pig]

Why bother?

I really don't see what the point of this is, it's a badly drawn pig "dancing" in different ways to some average music.
When I say dancing, it looks more like having a seizure or something, something epileptic at least...
Boring, not funny, not my style. Maybe if it looked better, had more choices of "dancing" and music I'd be less harsh. As it is, I just think it's quite poor.

[Teh UFO]

Good, simple game.

Easy and fun to play, a basic concept, but it's difficult to win and fairly taxing.
Sounds are OK, maybe could have used a few more, something like a background music track.
The graphics are functional and clear. Better than average, with scope for improvement as well.

Improvement in time, great start! like the file size! 60.4 kb for a game like this is excellent!

[Stick Stress Relief(demo)]

Not bad.

Not bad, but once you realise that a lot of the sticks have exactly the same death animation, it gets a bit dull, animation isn't bad at all, the gunshot sound is OK but the movie needed some music really.
Fun for a couple of minutes, good for a quick/cheap laugh.
