sakon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Video Game Beta]

Seems to Have Good Potential

The visuals were decent and the music was nice, but my only complaint is that the controls were really clunky and delayed.

DrewLols responds:

Yeah, I'll agree with you that the jumping is a little delayed. Since it's delayed, it leaves time for the jumping animation. Maybe it's a little too much time though.

It's interesting

It's a misconception by many people that a person's IQ measures how smart they are, but this is not true, it basically really measures a person's ability to learn. In fact, no person has any set, or single for that matter, IQ

Commonly found online IQ tests are NOT accurate, including this one, and will never match ones taken taken in person with a psychologist such as the standard adult WAIS III or IV IQ tests. There's just so much more to it then answering a handful of questions.

But with all that said I found this flash to be interesting and amusing. Right now I'm spending time answering the questions in different ways to see how it affects the score. I give this flash a 3\5 and 7\10

Thank you for the review

[Sword Circle Fighter]

Not Bad

But there could be so much more to this. Maybe add variables in the speed of your character or have the option to control the sword with your mouse where the tip of the sword is attatched the the cursor. Put in upgrades or achievements of somesort to make the game rewarding. Music and sound effects would be nice, and like others of have said make a mute option available.

Other than that the game was pretty fun and challenging, the farthest I could make it is level 17 and that was only a handful of times. I generally started to struggle between 11-14. I noticed that on 10-13 all you have to do is move straight left move the sword slightly to the top of the screen and as the enemy swings by that first time swipe straight down and you win. 14-16 works exactly the same except in the opposite direction. 17 I couldn't come up with anything lol.

everdel responds:

Thanks for the suggestions. I think upgrades and achievements should definitely be included in my next version. I will also try to add some sound and music.

There are lots of different ways to beat the AI on levels 10-17. The method you use works, but there are many others. The AI actually never favors one side over the other, although it can sometimes feel that way.

Don't worry, there are also ways beat the AI on level 17. As you reach higher levels the AI will become more careful in his attacks. You won't be able to use just one technique anymore. You will need to combine different techniques and change your tactics depending on how the AI chooses to attack.

Also be careful not to always charge straight forward. That works great on lower levels, but higher level opponents will start dodging your first attack, leaving you exposed to their counter attack if you get too close.

Total bullshit

This game is total bullshit. It looks nice and has nice sound effects and music, but the controls and gameplay is shit. The worst part of the whole game is the boss's skill to reduce your life and mana down to 1 each. That is fucking ridiculous, every time I get his life down to 25% or so that's all he fucking does. That coupled with healing himself; this totally killed any potential fun this game could've been.

Drkgodz responds:

Well when I had him without any skills, it was too easy to kill him. This way it remains a challenge. But I really recommend for you to kill him. It is worth the effort in the end with the bonuses.

Oh, and to avoid getting 1/1ed a lot, try jumping more often.
I've made it so if the boss does the attack while you're in the air, it has no effect :P

[Genius Test 3]

eh...

just another game to waste a few minutes. The best part of the whole game though is the magic trick, and what baffles me is that it doesn't lead you to only one symbol but 3. Yet which ever one of the 3 symbols that appear beside my final number never fails to be the one to appear in the magic ball. I figured this to be just a coincidense, but I attempted it at least 5 times with the same results of either the hand, paintbrush, or crayon symbol within the magic ball always matching which ever of the 3 symbols I ended up with. I can't figure out what I'm missing here, does anyone know what the trick is that makes this happen?

atticuslodius responds:

The trick works by MAGIC! .... not really. It's math.

[Law of Gravity]

This is a good kids mini-game

It's definitely not something I'd play again or would play for more than 5-10 minutes, but it was well made for what it was both visually and audibly. The instructions, controls, and objective of the game was made quite clear in the instructions sub-menu of the menu, the people who say that they don't get it are just morons.

iKonicStudios responds:

Thank you for getting the point :D I made a mini game in a few hours... so I was fully expecting people to play it only once or twice through. Thanks for realizing it for what it was and for the review
