[Pig Poo Power]

Eat da poo poo!

Well, this was certainly a non-sequitor game to play. It is probably the first time I ever had to play a game where I needed to collect pig poop. It's hard to say that there's anything particularly lacking or needless in this game because it really has all it needs. It was nice to throw in the flying pig idea. The colors are fairly good, but for some reason, the graphics just come out as being a bit, off. It's not terrible, but it does not look too professional either.

There could have been a bit more detail and a bit more creativity put into it. I did like how it was so simple but a more complicated game can be entertaining. I guess I can't hate it, because I am really good at it. It's a short, silly game so if you're a fan of those kinds of things, go for it. While it has not many special things, not bad.

[Ratmaze 2]

Great puzzle!

I kind of thought this as more of an action/adventure game because you actively did things. The coolest thing about this was how smoothly everything flowed. For something done in pixels at not a very high resolution, there was a lot of detail. I wish I knew collecting every single scrap of food mattered in the longrun. I loved the apple powerup, where I got super speed. Granted, I was not able to understand much at that speed, but it is at least cool while it lasts.

What's really neat about this game is that you worked hard to create a world that is completely your own. There are so many things to explore and so much cheese to get. I love how swiftly the rat can just move through the maze. Even the pieces of cheese seem to have their own unique designs! The balls don't do much for me, but are fun to have around.

Does look old

This game had some faults to it which I shall elaborate. It needed to have some music as there was none that I noticed. There should also be some more things going on, like the instructions should be more clear about what you should do. You seemed to really learn as you went along in this game. I did appreciate the good amount of detail put into everything and the graphics are actually quite good. I am actually going to be starting a job as a bus boy in this one restaurant soon.

I guess because of that, I wanted to experience a place in a restaurant. While I will not be doing this stuff, it is an interesting thought. The sound effects were decent and everything synched together pretty well. I am not sure how to get a salad as it seems glitchy when I try to go to the place to request orders. At least I can get the coffee.

Had its ups and downs

This game was fairly enjoyable to play, but there were a lot of factors that threw it off. The most important one was that it was just too freaking hard! Every second there were tons of these guys shooting these little things around! I would highly recommend a health bar for myself and the boss so I could see how close I was to dying. The designs of the enemies, however, was actually pretty cute. The purple one looked like Koffing.

Speaking of the "Pokemon" anime, the blue haired person kind of looked like James. I thought it was fun to just infinitely shoot at these enemies. The ship itself had a good design and the music was nice. It is too bad there is just so much going on and so little time to rest! During the boss fight, it's best to just go in the middle so you can at least avoid his blasts.

[3D Pixel Playground]

Decent little thing

While there is not much in terms of interaction, it is still good. There are a lot of areas where it could have been better, like just have a lot more pixels around. This even be thought of as a way for people to experiment with learning how to do Flash. I will probably never do any sprite work or any kind myself. The biggest suggestion is that you just have to put some music in. The audio portal aught to have plenty of things that might suit it. I still had to like it because of how many things you were allowed to do with it.

There could have been more pixels or at least more to make me proud of myself. I still recommend it because there are so many features! I can just spend all day looking for new things to do with my creations. It is a really good way to express your creativity, even if it isn't the most detailed game (?). I am sure some people were helped by this.

[Duplicator]

How odd

This was an odd little game, because I had little idea as to what was going on. I guess I still have to give it credit for being original, even if I could not understand it. There were times when it seemed like you had to click something to advance through the door. Previously, it worked just fine by doing nothing. The music was good and it creates a good, spooky atmosphere. Another cool thing was the design of the character.

There are a lot of things going on in a game that seems so peaceful. I must have pressed something because I started being able to use the arrow keys. It takes awhile to get used to, but can be fun when you get everything down right. It was weird how you kept the score with the points deterring as it went along. I guess that'll just encourage me to solve it faster.

It was interesting to read.
Thanks all.

[Newgrounds Worm]

Woah!

That has to be some record for the longest picture ever made on Newgrounds or any other place! I was amazed that you guys worked on this for FOUR YEARS. In case anyone is wondering, it takes about a minute to go through everything at the rate the astronaut is running. It's great to see so many people putting effort into this. ZekeySpaceyLizard is just never going to leave this website, will he? I know this is going to sound whiney, but I do kind of wish it was a little longer.

It's still extremely impressive to look at and just shows how many styles all kinds of different people have brought to the table! While not much in terms of music, just great to look at. I could go on all day trying to remember what the pictures were. I understand the spaceship setup as it shows how it goes around in a loop. I had a feeling it was going to do that.

[Survivosaur]

Fairly difficult!

I liked this game, but it could have been, well, easier. The best thing about it is that it was easy to understand, but everything else was still impossible to keep up with! To think that at the beginning, I thought the red things were the things to look out for! The graphics are still nice and while it is only one screen, it manages to have a good amount of detail. It was also cool to just randomly be where you needed to when the meteors hit. It was too hard to keep up with because so many things were coming at one time.

I guess I am just not really good at this game and at least it was designed well. I wish I knew how many hits to took to get rid of the alien spaceships. Luckily, I do not think you (as the dinosaur) can die by being hit too many times. You probably could have showed the Earth taking more damage as it went on. Then again, I guess that would be kind of discouraging.

[Touch The Bubbles]

It gets hard

It was cool to play a game that was so unique. I was not able to understand at first because something popped up when I got my first pop and I thought it might have been a bad thing. The funniest thing is that when I played this, I actually got the same score of 109 twice! You are the creator and you have never gotten anything more than 568?! It's funny how this was put under "Action Games". Then again, I guess it could not really go under anything else and it at least makes the "player" do some action!

I liked how it made a tune. Hey, maybe this could go under one of those rythum games! I am glad you managed to get a lot of freebies before you finally lose the game. While there was not a background, I still loved it because it was a different kind of game and really made sure that you were kept on your toes. Dang if I could ever get past Level 3.

[Stickman Madness 2]

Very slick

I was quite impressed with how smoothly this game moved. I guess it would be cliche for me to compare it to the "Xiao Xiao" series. That has simply had so many popular entries that if you make something similar to it, it's always going to be thought of! I liked the screen afterwards where it showed the dog eating your remains. It was interesting to play as a girl even though I could not tell that during the gameplay. I thought that pressing "R" reloaded your weapon.

There is the cool thing of being able to shoot anyone at any time you want. I was trying to shoot the health thing, but it did not do anything. I guess I have to be near it when I collect the health powerup or something? It gets a little repetitive, but still has everything you could want in a stick game. Their stick bodies make it hard to hit them in areas besides the head.
