saomuel's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beat the Level]

The physics look weird at first, but it gets interesting later.
I guess the challenge is in the physics, otherwise the obstacles and platforms and jumps would be too easy.

If you replace the ball with a bouncy car tire - like that ones you see on Donkey Kong Country (SNES), the physics would make more sense ^^

[Muscle Car Parking]

This is good. The game is well made, good graphs, good controls, it's fun and all.

But just two things doesn't fit in my mind:

- There's a lot of "parking games" around, but this one is different because it's muscle cars. So, why the cars move so slow, even going forward? Where is the "High horsepower"?
- If my car is already parked in a good spot, why should I just leave the spot and go park in another, and then do it again? The only reasonable goal is showing skills, like in a contest.

But, overall, I liked it.

Thanks for the comments.
You're right, the muscle car stuff is all just graphical. It's kept slow to make the gameplay better. (we have an ingame car editor to alter all of these parameters.)
Because we only have digital throttle control on PCs it's really hard to make the car go slowly and carefully, as well as going fast.
Same for the multiple parking bays: it's just a bit of fun! :)

The guy's wife died. Then I pressed left until the guy killed himself to be with her.

I'll not wander in the philosophical/psicological matter of the story, everyone thinks the way he/she wants, but this can be barely called "game". It's an interactive movie, when some part of the animation is controlled by the used.

Also, I found pretty "forced" some elements of the story - from the church to the cemetery, the first-meet place was conviniently placed there (like "Hey, I'm a important place to this couple story and I came here so Walter can pass through me and add some more sadness to the story").

The music is nice, I'm giving one star for it.

[Dead Zed 2]

It reminds me the Rebuild series, which is also too awesome.
It's the same idea: defend, rescue, scavenge, survive through the days. but's a shooter.

5/5

[no-one has to die.]

There's a too much simple gameplay, but the story makes this great!

[Don't Escape]

Jetz72 said it all.
I'm just dropping the stars.

[Teddys Excellent Adventure]

" I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it. "

[Dead Pixel]

This game had an extra difficulty for me: daltonic.
I deserve an extra medal, right? xD

Well, this is not "OMG THIS IS DA GAME MAN", but it lasted for the time it kept me entertained, só it's ok.

And thanks, thanks and thanks for this not being a screamer.
If you had put a screamer on this, I would hate you till the end of my days.

[Junior vs. Senior]

Well, like other people said, this game surely lacks originality. Games about popping blocks are old, like the "Totem Destroyer" series. It's the same style, but with another skin.

BUT

I guess this deserve some credit because the skin itself is good. I really liked the idea of "papa wants to sleep and kiddo won't let him", I actually found cute the bouncing and the laughing at the end of each stage. Also, the ingame music is awesome and gives the game the aura of innocent fun between son and dad.

Also, it's more levels of the block popping we always liked, so why not?

So, I guess it deserves a chance.
Also, this style of game may be new to some people, and it's a fun and cute way to introduce them.

[Johnny Upgrade]

Nothing much to add, people already said it.
Just passing by to drop you 5 stars.
