SergeantLuke's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic RPG Series Beta]

You've got some good ideas here, and I get that this is an early beta, but it definitely needs a lot of work. For one thing, the text on the battle menus is nearly unreadable. Get rid of the white back-light, because it's incredibly distracting. Also, the battle system is both incredibly simple and very difficult- I can't get past Motobug. Good idea, but definitely work on it a lot more.

[Simgirls (Full Version)]

Wow. I'm not really a fan of dating sims, or hentai, or the like, and I never really played the first version of this game from all those years ago, but I gotta say, this is pretty good- and the sheer wonder of a game this old FINALLY being 100% completed makes it impossible for me to give this anything other than a 5.

sim-man responds:

Great! I really appreciate that.

[Hungry Gamers]

I'm always impressed by an April Fool's joke that actually fools me, and you guys got me good! It all looked like a real game, and it SEEMED like I could've actually won. I especially like the mocking tone that the game begins to use the more you die.

That said, everything looks really nice, and it'd be pretty cool if it was a real game.

[Pet Magikarp!]

Good idea with poor execution. There's almost nothing to do with this thing whatsoever. I know that this is obviously just supposed to be a joke, but it could've been both fun and a joke, and it's not.

[Zombowling]

I was quite surprised by this game. At first I thought it'd be dull and easy. But, not long after I began playing, I realized that the gameplay was really far harder than it seemed! Kudos to you for designing such a deceptively simple, yet very challenging game.

[Blockgineer 2]

This is a great little game! The presentation is rather dull and standard (the HUD looks kind of bland and the designs of the menu screens are Blatant Angry Birds Ripoff #4091), but they hide the deep, challenging, monumentally entertaining game within. The physics are very well-programmed and there's a lot of hidden complexity. Getting 3 stars is a major challenge, even on the earliest stages! I'll be playing this game for hours, perhaps more!

[Shoot The Aliens]

Good idea, but the physics need serious work. The bullets tend to just bounce along a single pattern for a few seconds. It's very hard to hit the right spot that will reach every alien.

[The Hollow Rings]

It's okay. The concept isn't especially unique, and there really isn't all that much to the design, but I had some fun. One thing to note, the hit detection on the rings is way too wide; I found myself losing lives or beating levels when I had barely even touched the object.

mkwklng responds:

Yea I noticed that with the rings they can have some pretty jerky movements so when barely touching said rings it can result in a ahitTest being true. Thank you for making me aware of that. I appreciate it.

[Simple Mambo Game]

A good test, but the game is in dire need of more levels, sound and music, and better physics. I look forward to the game when it's finished, it has great potential, but a prototype that's this early isn't suitable for the portal.

[This is the Only Level 3]

Fun, but inferior

The "This is the Only Level" series is one of my favorite game series we have on Newgrounds, and the third entry is certainly a worthy addition. However, I can't help but feel that it isn't as fun as its predecessors were. The puzzles seem simpler and less challenging, and the design of the level is a lot less interesting than in the last two.

This is still a fun game, but the last two were better.
