JonFawkes's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Project Flame [demo2]]

Whoa, awesome, like a console game

This game's got potential. One suggestion I'd make it create a health bar for the monsters. It was a little annoying to be shooting at the monster and not know how much damage I was doing.

Also, some kind of map would be useful. The game in its current state isn't hard to navigate, but I imagine the final product will be much more expansive.

The voice at the beginning was mediocre at best. There are literally hundreds of amateur voice actors you can draw talent from for free at the Voice Acting Alliance or even here on NewGrounds, I suggest you check that out.

That's all I gotta say, I can't wait to see what happens next

[Block Balancer]

Boring

It's a little too easy. And add a mute button (or if you did, I can't find it)

[Complete the Level]

An awesome start

It was fun, nice and original, with a fair amount of challenge. Another level of challenge you should consider adding is limited the kinds of pieces you can use per level, or adding a count-down timer. This is a great start to an original game that could go somewhere good

[The Rolly Ball Game]

3 weeks? Really?

The game was very simplistic. The menu didn't look too fancy. The gameplay was very fundamental and unchallenging. The graphics were mediocre at best. It's a well programmed game, but it's got a lot more potential. Good try though, I'll give you that much. Hard to believe it took 3 weeks though

DrPepper246 responds:

lol three weeks of school and hw not just making it!

[Nimian Garden]

Quite pointless

The game is KINDA pretty. I say kind of because the characters look like crap, the actual garden looks like crap, and the only thing that looks nice is the huge landscape. The gameplay is simplistic and actually not very challenging. I completed the whole game twice in probably less than an hour. Overall, it's quite a pointless game. There was nothing at the end, not even a sense of accomplishment.

Also, I wish there were a mute button. The music is nice the first time through, but the looping is not smooth and gets annoying.

popopt responds:

The mute button is a great idea - Ill be sure to add one in next time:)Thanks for the constructive crtitique as well.

[Evacpod]

Some minor flaws

It's a very basic game. Visually, it's fantastic, I like the consistent style. The preloader doesn't seem to work correctly, and in the end, the game is very essential and basic. If you could fix the preloader problem, I think it would be a good game

ZZR responds:

I'm glad you like the visuals, thanks. Sorry, I have no clue what's wrong with the preloader T_T

[Hippolyta]

Just a tad too hard

The game is beautiful, visually. The controls were simple enough. The only problem I had with this game was that the obstacles were really hard to spot as they blended in with the background too much. Otherwise, it's a great game, but being a game, it loses major points for playability.

[Dune Bashing In Dubai]

Nothing too new...or fun

the lives system is obsolete and crap, totally unnecessary. The game is very basic, it's one of those physics based driving/balancing games. All you did was take a really crappy picture of Dubai (you can barely tell) and put it in the background. This really isn't worth much

[Sally's Cats]

Pretty, but disappointingly simple

It isn't a bad game. It's very obvious that you put a lot of work into it aesthetically. the music is okay, and the dark but cutesy style works in synonymy with the atmosphere, but the game was too easy, I found little challenge in it even as I went further into the game. It's not the worst game, but it's definitely not the best game, though I do believe it deserves a spot here.
