DOOMbubble's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Mower Massacre]

nice!

The simple goal, graphics, colors, music and sound effects are fantastic! I got a kick out of this game!

I didn't realize at first that you could jump with the spacebar, but even when I found this out, it helped me very little. You jump more vertical than horizontal so it's difficult to get out of a wave of bunnies from both sides, and when you come back down directly on top of one of those little guys, you have to guess which way the mower should be facing or you'll lose a life on that small technicality. Other than my issues with jumping with my mower, it was fun!

[Rebuzz Plus]

pretty good

Not bad! Good music and I like this set of puzzles. However, if I skip a puzzle I'd like to know what the answer was. Also, the hints that are simply "Look at the presentation of __" aren't really that helpful.

There's also a small glitch-if I press hint for one puzzle it will automatically show me the hint for the following puzzle.

Overall it was enjoyable for a while.

[Tetris Hell]

simple, effective parody!

Haha, great comic strip, great music, great "game"!

I hope your considering the other two "hells" from that same xkcd strip...katamari where everything is only slightly bigger and a mario star that just out of reach :-)

Along with especially loving the music, I loved how intricate you made the game load with the lines "drawing" themselves and cut out the game board.

[Talesworth Adventure Ep.1]

wonderful!

I can tell this will get addicting! I love the look and level designs along with the pace of difficulty. Just to let you know, the music in this game sound very quiet compared to other games I've played at the same volume.

Great game! The only thing I wonder is why is our main character dressed like that?

[ShapeShape]

nice job

I thought it was original, but I feel that there were some frustrations that kept me from enjoying the game even more.

I liked:
-level designs and pace of the difficulty
-overall look...i loved how simple and cute everything looks!
-tried to play this on a laptop pad instead of a mouse...it worked just fine!

Things to improve:
-a bit of background music perhaps? (I see something on the settings on the main page that looks like I could enable music, but nothing happened)
-unless you hit "play all" from the start, you have to click each level one at a time. I left and went back to this game later and hoped that "play all" would place me were I left off...nope! Did this mean I missed cut-scenes too? :-( I didn't want to restart from the beginning so I just got individual scores the rest of the way.

Overall enjoyable, here's hoping you come up with more games in the future!

Sparkworkz responds:

You definitely can turn on the music. Click the gear and the SFX and Music settings are there. On darker screens, it might be tough to see the musical note on the right. Just click the musical note to turn on music.

[Super Sonic Pinball]

Pretty good!

I enjoyed the theme of sonic and the idea of a pinball game, but I found it was a bit too faced paced for my enjoyment, except for the bonus round, which was simple and fun. Perhaps to pace the game, every time you hit the pinball into the spinner the game will momentary pause and go to a cutscene or at least flash words on what you gained on the pinball machine? (EDIT: I wrote this after playing the first time. After going back I realized you put this in the upper left hand corner...to be honest I would have never noticed it if it wasn't for me searching around) Also, I only had one music selection to choose from, not the three that you mentioned in your notes. Music in the menu scene would be preferred as well.

Overall, it went by quick and was okay. I especially loved if the ball fell into the spikes you put in the sprite for sonic's death!

Thanks for taking the time to write something. Clicking on the "Options" menu item gives you the background music and ball style choices.

[Extreme Gardening]

Nice game!

This wasn't bad. I enjoyed the concept a lot, although it did take me a few levels to realize I can simply hold down the mouse instead of clicking like crazy...oops! :)

I am a little confused on how the medals worked...I got a 97% on one level yet still only received a silver.

I wasn't too bothered by the music, but I feel like you could have found something better suited for this game...something that increases in tempo over time to give you the feeling that the time is running out soon perhaps?

Overall, I liked it. Not too long and simple graphics.

[Daymare Town 3]

beautiful work despite confusing gameplay

I enjoyed the music, the art, and the possibility of a good story. However, I could only get so far as opening the window before I was lost at what to do next...I could not tie the rope to the radiator at that time and continued to unlock new doors, find new items, trade, until I was so confused that I gave up. Without hints, more commentary, where I can use the items, or at least an idea of the objects I needed to keep and what I still needed, I was a bit lost.

Until I try again later, I'll be checking out the first and second installments until I can find a full walkthrough (or at least one that will take me out of the hospital)

[NerveJangla]

very fun!

A bit challenging at times but fun overall! It was a nice variety of mini games with an unusually catchy background tune (most music on these types of games I usually end up muting)

The only thing that could have made this game better for me is having the game designed for a laptop touchpad as well as a mouse. All games went smoothly for me on my laptop except the final few ying to yang rounds...clicking and dragging quickly was a big challenge!

[(Don't) Save the Princess]

nice!

Very original game! I especially loved the music, sound effects and overall concept.

The only thing that would have made this better would have been more directions in the beginning (it took me a bit to realize that the knight had to hit the area in front of the arrows, not the boxes itself) and some sort of hint feature if the knight died the wrong way too many times.

Again, what a fun game! :)
