mistermind's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chronotron]

Where am I? When am I?

You bastard! You made me waste my last 8 hours playing this game! And HELL YEA was the best 8 hours of my entire day haha! Now seriously, the word genius is small compared to what you made here. This reminds me of an old mouse game (also available at Newgrounds) where you have to work with the movements of your previous mouse actions in order to get to the top. I'm pretty sure that was your inspiration. I still feel like in the middle of Cronotron right now thou. Ctrl+Z will never be the same again :)

[The Last Stand 2]

Solid game, solid structure.

I've played the first Last Stand and was dieing for some replay value. That game is awesome, the sequel got even better, but I still miss a replay value here. Sure you can pick difficulties, but I would hope for a bigger world, side story events and bonus replays. Still, a solid game and jeez, these guys know how to make rag doll physics realistic. Its the first game in years using rag doll that I haven't felt like there was an arm or a leg that didn't belong there. Keep up the good work and I'll be the first in line for TLS 3!

[James The Pirate Zebra]

Another fantastic job!

C'mon people you're just not getting the point here. This game is not only EXTREMELY well done for a platform game in flash (responsive and graphically stunning) but also fun as hell. When I saw the "I know! lets make a platform game! WITH PIRATES!" I played from beginning to end laughing my ass off just knowing where I was getting into. Awesome replay value for a mini-game, very well programmed and designed, and hack these guys should be working on EA by now!

[EvoCannon]

Needs A LOT of improvements

Lol yea. First time playing it and got stuck by having no ammo inside the triangle thing, so ya, I never got to the scoreboards lmao. You should have thought that out. Besides that it is a challenging game. No replay value, which is bad, but kinda creative in a retro sorta way. I know that you have potential and eventually u will get something 10 times better for us.

[Monsters Den: Book of Dread]

Just the example of a perfect game

I played the first version of this game and man... oh man.. I still didn't forget the fact that I spent what? 2 maybe 3 days straight playing it. Even after I beat the game and kept it going, I actually was just trying to get my Ranger to do Hail of Arrow fatal blow where I killed pretty much everything with one shot lol. There was actually one night I ended up playing til 7 am before I realize the sun popping up from the window. AND Just as before, I've just realized I spent 4 hours playing this one.
The improvements are noticeable, and it sure deserves a Daily 1th price, and IMO it should be the winner for the NG Tank Wards. Extremely creative, extremely well done, extremely addictive and extremely fun. If there is anything else I'd wish for here is a multiplayer option, but that maybe is just ask for too much :D
Still, 10/10 heads down. Now let me get back to my addiction and waste the rest of my week playing this (as I probably imagine, this one is longer then the first lol)

[DIED HARD]

Yet another endless game

Same opinion as everyone:
- Fun for the first 5-10 minutes.
- Gets repetitive and too easy, as any other endless looping game.

Game makers have to learn one thing: Test the DIFFICULTY of your game. If the game gets easy and repetitive for you, it WILL be easy and repetitive for the players.
If you're intending to make an endless game, make sure you make it HARDER as you progress. The last thing you want is have your players clicking on "QUIT" rather then actually dieing.

[3D Sugar Glider]

Groundbreaking

What is outstanding is the 3D engine. Finally someone reveled the big notch that was missing on Flash. I'm already looking into this Away3D and jesus, it's amazing. Well the game ain't that good, but I can clearly see why it got to front page. Inovation is the key here. With this new technology at our hands, expect many more games to come. I know we're very close to see a 3D MMORPG made on flash being released real soon :)

Hell yeah!

[Disputed Galaxy]

Everything was perfect, until...

I've played non-stop for 2 days this game. Amazing, only one problem that pissed me off so bad I never wanna see this game again in my life, and i'm pretty sure a lot of you will eventually end up doing this mistake:
There I was, buying crap, with over 300 kills, a very nice ship, auto-reload hyperspace and tons of quests finished. I felt like a pro. There was only one problem: I was always buying life even thou I was not quite sure what would happen if I didn't. Then one day I just forgot to buy an extra life while trying to leave an ambush. I died and guess what message appeared? "Game Over. Your account has been reseted." Nice work =P So much work put into an almost perfect game to piss off anyone that makes this silly mistake. I wonder what would happen if MMORPG games would simply DELETE your character in case you forgot to put a bullet prof vest on it =P
Thanks for wasting my time

DJStatika responds:

It says in the instructions what happens if you die. I know most MMORPGs are nice to you and if you die then you dont really get. But I wanted to make it more realistic and players to be actually afraid to die. In real life you would think twice about risking your life and yes, if you crossed the road without looking and got hit by a bus, then you wouldnt be able to just restart with full health.

[Planet Cruncher]

Awesome but...

The game is awesome... for about 7 minutes. I think I went all the way to level 16 before I realized I was into one of those endless leveling games where there is probably a looping equation that makes the game progressively harder with no new elements. That ain't really a really horrible factor, but considering one of the most important aspect of the game is PATIENCE, its hard to keep on going expecting to get on a level that is hard to the point where you will actually be beaten by not getting enough crystals. After I realized I was going through the same level over and over for about 10 minutes, I simple destroyed all my planets to get to the online high score. WAIT! The game do not have that either.
Score for my skills? More like score for my patience :(
6/10
