Ben-Coombs's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zombie City]

yay

This is very nice, blasting zombies is fun. At one point I zoomed in to see the details better, it's actually pretty good that way, makes me feel more sort of immersed in it. Though for a two player game it wouldn't really work, and also you'd have to make the screen scroll around and I don't know if that's easy or not, I have only just started to learn actionscript. The background is very good. Actually on a related I have been animating some zombies for james and mark recently, for a flash game. Zombies are fun to draw. Anyway, good luck with this if you are going to finish it.

[Crizzle dungeon]

Nice one

Ok, so it's basically the Legend of Zelda... but that, of course, is a good thing. It was well made, fun to play, well designed rooms, and I didn't find any bugs or anything. The controls were easy to use I'd say. Sound effects would be great in the final version, some music too... but in this I can satisfy myself by going 'du duu duu duuuu' when I open a box. The graphics were good, and the animations, though I'd suggest making the main character more interesting, some guy with blue trousers, a shirt, and a face consisting only of two giant eyes. Also maybe some more original enemies would be good, because apart from the snowman they are all things like bats, spiders, and skeletons which every game ever created has. The boss was good though, though not too difficult. Well anyway, I look forward to the completed version.

*Oops, I just realised I played it without my headphones in, there is sound after all! Yeah, good sounds too, ha ha.*

[Super Mario Revived]

Good one

Good game... maybe could have had a more original theme, but hey, everyone loves Mario. I think I met a bug where I could kill one of the fuzzies, but the other two just made the death sound and carried on bouncing when I jumped on them. I could mention the collision detection is off in a couple of places (for example the swinging maces) and that Mario's jump seems awkwardly slow and low, but that's picking nits. I'm just glad I have infinite lives. Also I found a 'cheat', I just paused the game and I got transported to the end of the stage.

[Aggressive Alpine Skiing]

I can't get that wierd song out of my head

Agressive alpine skiing... agressive alpine skiing!

This is a really great and crazy game. It's so addictive, I keep going splat but have been playing for half an hour. I still haven't got past the beer part. You'd think drinking beer was a bad idea at super-high speed on an obstacle filled ski slope but oh well, they like their beer in Germany.

[Sphere Fighter 1.2]

Okay I suppose...

It could have something more interesting than little balls... like spaceships or something. Balls are boring. Also, you could have drawn your own icons instead of using the ones from el Diablo.

[Onslaught!]

Uncredimable

That has to be the best game I've ever played on this site. Everything was perfect - I can't think of a single flaw!
I liked the way you used warcraft style goblin sappers too.
