GreenCastle's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[ETE: Techno Tetris.]

Nice game

Nice game. Professional quality. The chick is a nice touch too, you should have stuck with that longer, trying to figure out how to make it work.

Look at the source of the html page where a flash movie lives on NG. You'll see this line: <PARAM NAME="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="never">

This prevents the Flash from executing scripts on other domains. You will never be able to access a live scoreboard using a Flash hosted on NG. NG probably does it this way because of malicious entries. Sorry.

Ah! But they allowed it for Kittin Cannon. Perhaps if I talk to Tom or Wade. Thanks for the info .. and score ... and review. ^_^

As for trying to get her to react, I'm still working on it, and might get it someday.

Where were the instructions!?!?

How could you forget the instructions? It looks like an amazing game, very well coded, but I didn't know what the hell to do.

Very fatal mistake in an otherwise excellent Flash.

[Captain Bubble]

Pretty bad.

This game has the worst collision detection I've ever seen in a game. The graphics are nice, but the game is so painful to play I couldn't bring myself to give it a 1.
I can't jump over any enemy, I keep falling through platforms, and I can pick up coins as I die?

[Turkey Mania]

I'm confused

As you can clearly speak English, why is the game in Dutch? Did you write this game?

Also, I thought the purpose was to collect the Turkeys, not dodge them. Bah.

i made this as a project for school like i said in the author's comment. i just wanted to see how it would do on newgrounds. if you wouldve read the comments you wouldve known what to do. dont vote 0 on something because you are too lazy to read the comment.

[Super Mario Revived]

Crappy sprite game.

Even if you had an original concept, which you didn't, this game is just too poorly coded to justify me finishing it. This game displays maybe 1/100th of the physics involved in Super Mario World. Either you haven't really played Super Mario World, or you don't know how to write ActionScript well enough to put together a decent emulation of that game. Not bad first attempt material. Terrible front page material.

Professional look, not much else

This game looks very sharp. Professional quality.

I must say, though, it doesn't make it for me as a game. There's just not enough skill involved. Your success is mostly luck, that you're not screwed with a bunch of unmatching pieces in clusters. The only thing that adds the slightest hint of a tactic are the red stones that blow up stuff around them.

The beauty of Tetris is that every piece that comes down is managable if the player has good technique. That is a beauty this game does not have.

Maybe create a penalty for clicking a piece that is NOT a match. I realized after several rounds that I could just wildly click on pieces.

The game is fast-paced, but if it doesn't demand precise thinking, being fast-paced is worthless.

[Pokéball Blitz]

good. needs work.

I wanted to like this game, but it irritated me way too often when, say, I wanted to drop a blue ball on a blue block and there was a red block next to the blue block, and ONE PIXEL of the ball hit the red block so it fizzled and didn't clear anything.

Fix the play control and make it more forgiving. For instance, destroy the ball when it hits the MIDDLE of an unfriendly block, and not when it hits the top. Or make that ball easier to aim. It would be easier to aim if everything weren't so darn small.

I like your choice of music and your choice of theme. The graphics are a tad small but I could enjoy them too.

GC.

[Megaman PX - Time Trial]

Good game, entertaining

I found Bass to be easiest, actually. Then again, I've played Rockman&Forte so I'm used to his movement. This game's a good 15 minutes of fun.

What else can I say? This is quality stuff.

I'd like to say two things.

1) This game is in poor taste and you know it.
B) I tried about 10 times, couldn't get over the first umbrella, so I quit trying.
