mistermind's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Curse Village]

Lacks information.

The game literally has everything we wished for from both worlds:
- Horizonal survival style from Last Stand 1 and 2
- Melee weapons and straight shots rather then an aiming cursor.

The bad:
Lacks A LOT of explanations towards the entire games. Its not clear how you get access to new weapons or how any of the updates in the field works. Its pretty much a "play about 5 times until you figure out how things work"
Weapon tooltips don't give you much but damage and ammunition, which can easly get you pissed once you picked a weapon thinking it was good (lightsaber is just the name really).
Upgrade points only change when you select a different difficulty level. Selecting different places will only make your score higher, which is ok, but not so cool if you are just planning on actually have a better gaming experience and not compete with a hacker/fanatic that has 10x your best score.

Other than that, its a fantastic game. And if it weren't for these little issues, it would be a 10 out a 10

[Upgrade Complete!]

YES!

AMAZING game. what surprised me the most was that we could upgrade the graphics of the game as well! That is truly an upgrade ON GAMING.
HAHA
Got it? Upgrade? On Gaming. No? bah neither do I. Still, 10 out of 10 :D

[Toybox]

Can anyone actually beat this without walkthrough?

It is a good story and definitely has SOME nice puzzles, but the lack of good hints throu the game makes it impossible to be beaten without the walkthrough, which is sad really. I felt very nice for figuring everything out until the piano puzzle, but thats where I really felt like you just dropped the ball on the difficulty level. There was just no way anyone would figure the exact keys without the piano working. And there I was wasting at least 20 minutes thinking you made another puzzle to actually FIX the piano. But no, after getting frustrated and finally reading the guide I've realize that from that point on you were just gonna mess with us. Don't even get me started on the locker code. That was ridiculous. Next time at least make the game beatable, unless you crave so much for people to read the solution =P

[Music Catch 2]

Innovative as always

This game deserves every little award for innovation it can get. Just like the first one, its fun, easy to get into and very addictive. And now with all this options (including music from an URL), its now just one of those games that you must have in a shell somewhere: D

[Chrome Wars]

What is the point?

Its its fun, but extremelly repetitive and easy. The "buy upgrades" aspect is always fun and always drive us into an addictive road of "get 'em all". Problem is there was not a single battle that required me even think. All the bots were always 10 steps below you and after a while all you had to do is charge-kill them. And lets face it: Nothing but a shop and an arena option? I expected at least to be heading somewhere :/

[Portal Defenders]

NG's next gen

Wow seeing how much effort was put into this game both from the portal and developers really makes me think whats NG's next step :D medal's API maybe?
Anyways, played like 100 times, got all medals but three (Zamboni, Over-achiever and that secret one)
Just one question thou: Where are those "points" going to? Are those experience points?

[The Eternal Battle ( )]

Great remake of DotA :D

Pretty good remake of DotA in a flash based game :D I'm impressed on how smooth it was based on the fact that we not only miss the second mouse button but also lacks the fact that in most cases we are not using full screen, which means that pulling your mouse to the edge of the screen can be confusing.
Now, I know you probably heard this before, but the AI is in fact, pathetic. I can't say much about it since DotA's AI version isn't really a masterpiece, but in your game, the opponent's "heroes" are nothing more then creeps that gives 100+ gold rather then 40-60. Also a big thing that lacks in your game are spells. Its fun to play a "flash dota" but when there is nothing else to do then hit, the game gets annoying. And finally: Melee heroes are bad in this game.. real bad. Simple fact: They pull agroo regardless of being second targets (like DotA), which means its much better to always pick the range dude.

[Artificial Junk]

Awesome

Fantastic game, simple yet fantastic. I just wish the upgrades were more consistent in really upgrading your bot (such as moving even faster, jump, and have some more use for melee then just the last boss). The achievements were actually pretty fun, and I did them all :D But I think you should know your "secret" mini-game at the achievement's room is completely busted. You can't move sideways and can't grab the bombs, which only lets you play for about 7 seconds tops lol. If you don't believe me check your online high-scores :)

[VDay Blast]

Very creative

It is a very well made system of tag team, but there are some minor issues, such as a "retry" button in the second level (as I had to press F5 to try again when I locked one of my characters within 2 walls. Besides that, its a pretty fun experience. Gratz to you and your relationship :)

[Super Mafia Land]

Absolute tribute.

Perfect in almost every level of Super Mario Land (aka Super Mario 2). Only problems I had were the controller's choice (up to jump rather then "S" witch is right next to "A" as it would perfectly emulate our old NES) and the short "game" in overall. But I guess it is more then enough considering its a free flash game made as a tribute, so non of those issues would in any way affect my score :D 10/10 heads down.
