DiMono's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cool Racing]

Good game, but...

...it seems you've put the gold medal times for tracks 2 and 3 for the offroad vehicle too high. As of the time of this writing I'm the top time holder for both of those times (as well as every other time... I'm allowed to brag), by 2 full seconds for track 3 and by .1 seconds for track 2, and there doesn't seem to be any way of going faster, since there's no terrain to abuse on map 2 and it doesn't let you go around the palm tree on track 3. I'm 2 seconds ahead on track 3 but I'm almost half a second behind the gold time.

It's also rather easy to get hung up on the dunes or in the trees. If you end up there, you just keep spinning your wheels without being able to free yourself, which is rather inconvenient. I'm also not wild about how wide the turning radius is, and since it's the same on every car, how wide THE turning radius is.

All that criticism aside, it's still fun enough that I made it my mission to gold star every level with every car, so that should speak more to how enjoyable the game is than my prior complaints. Call it constructive criticism?

fiddi responds:

Thanks for the pointers chris-marks.
It's really good to get a criticism like yours. I'll look into lowering the offroad gold achievement for tracks 2 and 3 right away.

The other points you note are valid and we'll look into them as soon as we can.

Have updated the mochi achievements for offroad tracks 2 and 3.

EDIT:
In game achievements changed to match mochi achievements.
Turning radius changed.

[Quicktype]

In-game popups block the game area

Neat idea, but there are two things wrong:

First, the words need to enter from the right. Otherwise on long words you can't start typing until they're already a fair distance across the screen. That's pretty trivial though, since by the time it matters there are enough words on the screen that it doesn't matter anyway.

More importantly, the in-game popups obscure the words that are behind them. I fell short of 10,000 because a popup obscured the word I was after and I couldn't see what it was to type it. Gotta put those popups out of the way.

eidern responds:

words entered from right are part of challenge, you can try to guess what word will come, and I avoid longest words, i keep them for the bonuses.
And i'm aware for the bonuses obscured, i'll try to add more transparency, because i can't see where I can place it elsewere..If you have some suggestions i'll take it !

[Name That Anime 2]

Needs more

Needs music. Needs a progress counter so you know how many you've done and how many are left. Needs bigger pictures. Also the Lupan one has Lupin in twice, but the first time it has a space in front of it; functionally it's the same answer twice.

GinKadia responds:

As I stated in the comments, couldn't add music. It's not the same answer. You need to look closely at it

One says Lupin the 3nd and the other says Lupin the 3rd

[Stamper's Quest For Fags]

Nightmare's broken

...by which I mean half the health packs literally do nothing in Nightmare. Otherwise, once you get used to it it's an amusing little game.

Kevin responds:

IIIIII

[Desktop Armada]

Can't play it

Enough is cropped off from the right and bottom that I can only see half the screen.

CasualCollective responds:

thanks, fixed it

[Buggle Connect]

Can't play it

I can only see the top left corner: enough is gone from the right and bottom that I can only see half the screen.

CasualCollective responds:

thanks, fixed it

[Barbarian Bob [Remake]]

Okay for what it is...

but at least one of the problems you think you fixed isn't actually fixed. I finished the game, entered the cheat menu, selected some things, unselected those things, exited the cheat menu and earned 4 more achievements, but they do not show up on my NG account. In the game it shows I have all achievements except InvinciBob, Warlock Holmes and Barbarian King, but on my NG account it only shows Rags to Riches, which is the one I earned the first time I played.

Also it seems you can't earn the Carbon Copy achievement as Terrence. Parried a bunch of times in a row, didn't get anything for it. Had to redo it as Bob. Incidentally, if you quit out as Terrence, when you restart you'll be Terrence, but Terrence's clothes will still be on the wall. To get back to being Bob you have to grab his clothes and then put them back. So I suppose that means Terrence was naked, which is something entirely different.

Sorry this review ended up being a bug report. Not my intention. Hope knowing about these bugs helps!

Skribble-Style responds:

No, no, don't be sorry! Without the help of people like yourself, Bob would still be bugged up like a mofo.

Many thanks for the comment dude, it helps a lot!

[Peacock Jigsaw Puzzle]

Huh?

Isn't there supposed to be a peacock somewhere in the puzzle?

JigsawPuzzlesFree responds:

Yes... yes there is.

[Pwong]

I liked it

A rather enjoyable update to the classic game. Got Pro+ on my first time playing Hard, my third game overall, after getting some 700+ points on Easy in my second game.

The game wouldn't play under Firefox for me though. I had to fire up IE in order to play. Curious, that.

JGames responds:

Hmm, thats very strange...
