Backspin's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Snake V.1]

A classic, but...

A couple of qualms.
Firstly, yes, it's snake, and it's functional, I'll admit, but when did Snake start needing levels? The issue was always that it got more difficult as the snake got longer, and that was it, but it's an original twist to have the levels, as well as the obstacles, so that's cool.
On the issue of obstacles, however, there is somewhat of a glitch where in the spike traps can spawn OFF of the actual playing area. You may want to look in to that.
And lastly, the music seemed somewhat unnecessary. It was very "intense" considering the game, perhaps a more trance-ish lowkey beat WITHOUT singing/shouting would be more appropriate. That's personal preference, however.
Anyway, it's good to see that it works and all, a few minor issues, as said, but all around, good job. Make a more original game in the future and I'm sure you can do very well.

[The 8-Bit Wizard]

Technically, an overrated quiz game.

Definitely nostalgic. Worthwhile questions.
The only qualm I have is that you aren't shown the correct answer at the end or anything. Subsequently, when you say "I hope you've learned something about..." at the end of the game, I haven't in fact learned anything save for the wrong answer of the four...
Other than that, it was all interesting stuff.

[A-Mazed, Caverns of Egypt]

Tedious...

The concept is interesting enough, but the lack of action and general uneventful length is poor. The game could benefit from a pause button wherein you can reposition your mouse on your mousepad if you're out of room, or if you just need to use another window or something.
The flashlight idea was good and all, but other than that, it's not particularly innovative.

ill try harder next time

[Tactical Assassin]

Engaging, solid, fun.

This game was well made.
The SOUND, particularly, I thoroughly enjoyed. The silenced M4 sounded amazing. The graphic style reminded me of XiaoXiao, that great virtua-cop -ish shooter on NG as well.
All around, it played very well, but, if I may (and if you read these) I have a couple of suggestions:
1) A bit more of a puzzle aspect to the levels: that is, anyone can point and click, but deciding who to click first, and what time, is what makes the game interesting.
2) Choosing ones own sniping location (even if there are only two spots to select from, it would make the game VERY interesting if you couldn't see a certain guard from side A, or you had a more difficult primary target from side B)
3) Check your spelling. The briefings attempted to be very professional and, well, brief, but some of the spelling errors detracted from this. I know it seems like a petty and minute thing to bring up, but it's easy to fix and would add to the gameplay.

Of course I'll read this, I read all my reviews :D Thanks tons for the suggestions, I can tell you right now you'll love the 2nd one.

[New Downloadable Suicide]

Revelation.

You're right. Angry grunge kids do suck.

[Dad 'n Me]

Worth EVERY bit of anticipation

Very well put together. It's hard to leave constructive criticism when there's nothing to criticize.

The only thing I found was that it ran very poorly, I had to go to low quality for smoother Frame Rate and I'm on a pretty decent system.

Other than that, incredible work. I can't believe how well the explosives, when used, reacted, and the many different moves/combos/variations was very impressive.

[Stick Shootout]

Nice spinning MP5....

Other than that, it had no substance what so ever... good effort?

[Starfighter]

It seems to be for sure...

I think that a save system, or a simple "always restart same level upon death" sort of thing would be a great idea. Other than that, this is a fantastic game!!!

DJStatika responds:

Have got a save option at the official site. I had to take it out for NG cos they dont have the server side code (because I wrote it) needed for loading/saving this game.

[Motherload]

An interesting game.

This game reminded me of an old PC game called Hardwar (i swear i'm not promoting!) made in like, 95. it was alot of fun but nobody bought it and the company definitely went under, anyway so was this (fun that is).

[The Bounce]

I'm stunned.

This is the best game I have ever played. Thank you for this game. Humanity as a whole NEEDS this game.
