DiMono's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Linkaball]

The powerups don't work

I couldn't use any of the powerups, either through clicking or pressing the corresponding numbers. Made the last level impossible. I'm using Flash Player 9

[SimianLogic's Filler]

It isn't bad

Lives have to persist. Always starting with a number of lives equal to the level you're on + 1 means the game is basically unlose-able after level 30 or so. Also having such a ridiculously high number of balls at you disposal... I cleared level 54 without losing a single life, and I still had 44 balls left over.

With the right play style, this game will never end. And that makes it exceedingly boring.

[Coil]

Meh

It's a good concept, and the graphics are nice, but the execution was poor. As far as I could tell there was no way to control the egg on level 3, and I literally passed that level by switching to something else for a few minutes and coming back to it later. Even if the controls aren't specified, the results of actions performed by the player should be immediately obvious.

[[Alpha_Sector]]

Problem

My mouse becomes completely unresponsive after a certain point. I like being able to control where I shoot.

[AN Escape Series #3]

Neat

It would have been nice if there was some sort of indication that you could look up or down. I moved the mouse to the bottom of the screen and the arrow didn't change, so I assumed you weren't able to look down. I had to visit the walkthrough to find out I was supposed to look down after all.

[Smokin Barrels]

Fun little game

My only beef with this game is that you don't tell us ahead of time that we can't save our game or submit any scores unless we're on your website until AFTER you've already spent an hour playing to get your score. Tell us that up front. Beyond that, the game was enjoyable.

Oh, and I think that in terms of $/time the knife game is actually better. You can walk away with about $15 every 20 seconds there if you're any good at it, meaning about $90 per 2 minutes, vs a rough max of $60 per 2 minutes at the sniper range. There should be some kind of bonus for actually hitting the target with all 13 knives though, I think.

Anyway, the end dude seemed kind of twinky, but after rifling and knifing my way back from $550 to $1000 I was able to take him out on my fourth try. It IS possible to defeat the game everyone; your reflexes may just need some fine tuning.

[-Avoid-]

Okay game

You seriously, seriously need to choose different music for this game. Given the genre, the music choice is terrible. If I'm trying to concentrate, the absolute last thing I need is a steady bass beat driving its way through my head. As for the rest of the game, it's okay for what it is.

[The Ultimate Maze]

Level 40 is buggy

Neat concept

[Bloons Tower Defense]

Best defense game ever? Maybe

This game has something almost no other defense games have, and it's something that makes this game both different and pleasant: AN ENDING. There are 50 levels, each with a set number of enemies of each available type. I also like how each enemy takes the same damage from each type of tower. I managed to play through this game using only 16 towers total in just over half an hour, and it was fun. Getting to stop between waves, and even being told what's coming in some cases, made the game that much better.

[Capture Kate]

Bad game

I captured Kate in 9 moves on the third level. What do I win?

Also, why is this on the front page?
