Nintendo-pie's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Murder Pong]

Surprisingly fun

This was much more addictive than I expected it to be. You read 'Pong' and think 'Not this again' but the combination of sound effects, amusing (if not a bit too few) messages and actually rewarding game-play all added up to a decent game.
It's not going to win any innovation awards, or graphics, or sound, but for what it is, it's a fun game. I actually felt joyous after beating some of the harder levels, something which many flash games of this sort fail to do.
I was going to say it was easy, but once I got deeper into the game I really felt the difficulty.
Overall, a surprisingly good pong clone.

[Portal Defenders]

Great fun

This is a great game. The controls are nice, battles are action packed and the difficulty curve is perfect. My main problem with the game is the achievements. It's a great feature and I love it when I unlock an achievement, but most of the time they don't save. I've beaten Mindchamber and Stamper and Jeff, got over 80% in the P-Bot clean-up minigame and checked out the walkthrough, all triggering the 'achievement unlocked' event, yet the achievements do not save. It's really annoying and it ruins the whole integrity of the achievements, it really needs to be fixed. That's why it looses a star.

[music euphoria]

Nice.

This was quite good. The concept was solid and the game play was fun. Not only that, but you pulled it off well. It got me thinking that this would do very well as a game for DSWare. Of course it would need to be longer and the visuals would need to be re-thought, but overall, I'd buy it.

[Crunchdown]

Nice

This is a very fun game. I like the Kirby element and the different weapons you could pick up. I completed the game using 18 lives and found it challenging enough to keep playing 'till the end, even after one game over. The large 'Big gay' enemies were challenging in their own right, but once you have dodging down they're not to bad. I liked the amusing names later on in the game as well, and the surprise ending was a nice touch too as was the multiple character choice once you've completed the game. I urge all of you who have given up on this game to try again, I know it's hard at first, but you soon learn the mechanics.

I-smel responds:

Thanks alot for completing it.

[Classics: Snake]

Well, it is snake

If your goal was to recreate snake, you achieved this. But that's not saying much. No original ideas, no extras, basic graphics and unfitting music (good, but unfitting, too packed) made this inferior to the original game, which holds a more nostalgic charm to this. Also, the classic snake didn't have go through walls. You just died when you hit them. Small quibble.
Still, a good remake of this old game though.

Spiff responds:

I will be doing a more advanced Snake clone soon. Do not worry about this. =D

[Super Smash Bro Quiz V2]

Meh.

Not great. The questions were too easy (if they weren't wrong of course) and can be answered with minimal knowledge of the series. I am a Ninty nut (hence the name) so maybe I'm a bit over-knowledgeable so I'm adding a few points to compensate.
All in all the quiz was designed nicely, but the questions were too easy. Perhaps a hard mode for us hardcore players with questions involving character or item origins, music compositions and some more obscure stuff so you learn something while you're at it.

[Super Maze Bros. 1]

Good pictures

The drawings were well done and the mazes were hard, a bit of colour would add to the whole affair and more originality. Add a gimmick which makes your maze game different (and more fun) than everyone else's.

[moss 2]

Hmm not bad

I like the wall clinging, but it could be harder in my opinion (completely different to most reviews that want it easier) and it was a bit short. Took me about a minute and a half to complete. Hmm, oh well, I guess if you love platform games like me it's easy.

[. p i X e l]

Too easy

I thought this game was too easy. Maybe that's because I'm a platform game pro, but it wasn't that challenging. The only hard level (In my opinion) was the one where the blocks disappeared, but even that one was easy enough. Not a bad game, but we need more additions, like points etc.

MADSOFT responds:

I'll include more things in the sequel ^^ Thanks for the review anyways~

[Newgrounds Rumble]

The closest you can get to a Smash Bros clone.

The summary says it all really. This is the epitome of flash fighting games. Only minor things are problems, (the annoyance of an inability to hit someone when they are on top of you is really it) and they hardly take away from the experience. After all, no game worth playing has absolutely no faults.
