Pelemus-McSoy's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Prison of Industry]

Pelo says...

Pros?
~Nice graphics.
~Smooth.
~Good plot.

Cons?
~Too easy (at least, as far as I went).
~Controls take some getting used to.
~Some bugs here and there.
~Unfair in places.

Overall?
It's a great idea for a game, and for the most part, it's very well done. However, after breaking a machine in the tutorial, none of my controls would work except for draining adrenaline.

Speaking of adrenaline, you shouldn't have it drain just when the S key is held down...that makes it unfair for those who aren't used to the controls, and since he isn't doing anything it makes no sense.

Another unfair thing in the game is the drills on the wall jumping. After encountering two of them and not being able to dodge them (they're max height isn't high enough to safely jump away from it), I quit. I'm not going to lose a health bar because of those things. I won't stand for it.

It has great potential, but needs some tweaking.

[Collider]

Pelo says...

Pros?
~Very challenging.
~Addiciting.
~Simple.
~Nice graphics.

Cons?
~A few WTF levels.
~Some higher levels easily cleared directly after a difficult one.
~Showing number of attempts.

Overall?
This was a really fun game...and I only had to resort to the walkthrough two or three times (but only out of desperation). I thought the graphics were very well done, the physics quite smooth, and over a fun game. I didn't like, however, having the number of attempts show up after the level had raped me pretty bad (I personally think it's a way of saying screw you when it says it took at least 72 tries to get past a level).

Overall, a really fun game that I feel should be on the front page.

[Guns n Angel]

Pelo says...

Pros?
~Lots of guns.
~Nice graphics.

Cons?
~Too many enemies.
~Some weapons don't seem to vary in damage.
~The yeti thing is unfair.
~Not being able to change weapons when jumping.

Overall?
I'm actually disappointed by this game. I was hoping it would be better, but the fact that there were so many random spawning enemies everywhere, guns not varying in damage much, and those stupid yetis pin you and prevent you from being able to move at all. Not the best shooter on NG.

[stickBrix]

Pelo says...

Pros?
~Interesting combo.
~Nice graphics.
~Amusing.

Cons?
~Too fast.
~Unpredictable ball movements.

Overall?
It's a fun and amusing game, but it moves a little too quickly and not knowing where the ball will go when it hits the paddle is quite annoying (it also seems to sudden, not gradual).

Still amusing, though.

[Super Stacker 2]

Pelo says...

Pros?
~Fun sequel.
~Fun gameplay.
~Mild sense of humour.

Cons?
~Sounds from blocks are mildly annoying.
~Some levels are somewhat unfair.

Overall?
This is a fun series with enough challenge to keep a player on their toes. However, some levels (including Balancing Act and Quick Trick) are not very fair to the average player. As mentioned by Swordplay, you need to place certain items at very specific spots that are very difficult to find. The average player would give up and move on to the next game.

Otherwise and aside from the new sounds the blocks make, it's still as good as its predecessor.

[Picnic Puzzle]

Decent

Pros?
~Simple
~AI makes player think faster
~Good graphics

Cons?
~Short
~Cluttered
~Too easy.

Overall?
It's a decent game, but it's a little too easy and somewhat cluttered...otherwise, it was a decent game.

[Closure]

Simply amazing...

I was excited to see this be a grim/dark puzzle platformer game. However, I was surprised (and very impressed) with the game play itself. At first I wondered why I kept falling, despite knowing there was a floor ahead, but then realized the backbone of the game. It's unique, amazing, and a little frightening at the same time.

I really enjoyed playing it, hope there will be a sequel, and thank you very much for producing such a wonderful game.

[-ReBound 3-]

Pelo says...

Pros?
~Nice graphics.
~Good choice in music.
~Simple to grasp.
~Smooth gun responses.

Cons?
~Well...boring...

Overall?
It's graphically pretty and it's always fun to shoot stuff, but just shooting a moving target that goes here there and everywhere for mere points or headshots isn't very satisfying for an FPS fan.

Perhaps to make target shooting more fun is to have multiple targets with goals in mind and awesome unlockable weapons as a reward for completing certain things. For me, that made Perfect Dark's shooting range fun to play.

Best of luck with future productions. =3

[Mario-Combat]

Pelo says...

Pros?
~Very smooth game play.
~Simple controls.
~Unique combo set up.
~Insanely fun.

Cons?
~Rather short, but not too short.
~Being able to wall jump on small stair-like ledges.

Overall?
Normally, I don't really care much for side scrolling fighter games, but this one was amazing. I like how there's only one attack key, but different movements and timing result in combos. I find that to be unique and awesome. My favourite combo was uppercut then hitting them with an areal attack (hopefully into the lava!).

The Koopas were pretty easy to deal with, unless being juggled around when there were large numbers of them. Bowser was a challenge and took a few tries to get, but was defeated in the end. (So to all you folks whining that he's too hard, it's called a CHALLENGE).

Overall, very fun and addicting (I've been playing it on and off all day). Great job, I hope you make a sequel. If not, I understand. =3

[Sift X-Mess]

Pelo says...

Pros?
~Smooth.
~Fun at start.
~Upgrades.

Cons?
~Kickback.

Overall?
It's fun...at first. It just gets too difficult after multiple enemies come running onto the stage and you can only fire off one head shot before having to lower the gun again. It's not fun if you have to keep lowering your gun after each shot.

Also, I found a glitch: The laser sight stays on forever.

Could've been better if the kickback wasn't an issue.
