Jovatov's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Penalty Shot]

Pretty bad,

First of all, the graphics were very bad. It looked very rushed and very bad.
The sound wasn't all that good. It started over everytime you went back to the main menu, I didn't like that.
And then the game itself. Well, the instructions weren't very clear. It took a while for me to discover the game, and even when I knew how it worked, it wasn't very fun to play. The ball was in the air way too long for it to be realistic and it made it boring too.

[Soccer Dodge]

Could be improved.

The game in itself was okay. You need to get the hang of it first but then it is a tad boring. Add more levels, to make things harder a long the way.
The graphics weren't very good, the players looked very bad, and the background wasn't that great too.
The sound got annoying real fast, a mute button would be great.
I eventually got a score of 1046 but the Score Board seems to be loading all the time and I'm not gonna wait for it.
Anyways, improve on this and you'll have a killer game!

[World Cup Kick-Ups 2006]

Mediocre

It was easy once you got a lot of balls and my fps dropped to like 3 or 4, I could just hold the mouse under the balls and they all went above the screen to never come back. I stopped at 1000 kicks cus it was just boring this way.
The graphics were not that good, the background wasn't that good, and the balls were okay, but not very good.
The sound was annoying after 6 minutes of play, cus it repeated really fast.
Overall, mediocre game.
(I got a score of 1427 btw)

[Sonic tetris]

This wasn't very good.

Actually, this was bad. The backgrounds were hugely pixelated and that didn't look tto good. The background changing also made the score and level unreadable, the blocks looked OK, it's just that you couldn't see where you stop at the left side.
The music looped kinda weird, and the gameplay was well, Tetris, except no fancy graphics with it just some pixalted pixels which overall didn't work out too great.

[Newground$ Tutorial]

Not that good

This is all explained in the Help / FAQ section of Newgrounds, only with a better look. The music starting over when going back to the menu was annoying too. The buttons in the statistics and cool links sections were hard to click.
The text wasn't very organised the background just black. This needs more, much more.

HomerDough responds:

I'll try to fix all those in the next version. Thanks for your advice

[Cursorrama 3]

Boring

This is the same as no. 2 except it has 20 new cursors that's really more of the same and it has a new bug when you go back to the menu and then you go into the cursor thingie the music starts playing twice so thats bad. The preloader isn't working correctly too (just like in V 2.00, for the newgrounds pre-loader to work you need a black background) You used the same interface as in V 2.00, actually, this number 3 is much like number 2 except you put in 20 new (boring) cursors and you put the cursors from 1 in.
The idea is old, this flash is getting old and boring and you don't even fix a non-working pre-loader. This is a bad flash.

[Pong Pong Revolution]

I liked this

This was pretty good.
There were lots of backgrounds, and they all looked nice.
Okay, the pong game is old but you put on quite a few twists which made it fun to play.
I noticed a bug though on the Survival mode, when the ball got stuck inside the moving wall. Also in the dark room thingie the light didn't always flicker when the ball hit my own paddle.
The music was nice to hear, but became irritating after a while but meh.
Nice game.

[Goal In One]

Good game

This is a very nice game. A mix between Golf and soccer, and it is truly a win. The engine is nice, I haven't come across any bugs, and with it's intuitive controls it's easy to get into, but hard to get out. The levels were nicely built and overall it looked nice too.
Great game.

Phantasmagor responds:

Hey thanks a lot for that. I have encountered the occasional bug to do with wall collisions. Just things that are near impossible to fix.

Thanks again

[Cursorrama 2]

Old

This stuff is old, I've seen this kind of submission a lot, and yours didn't add much to it. There were really like 10 different cursor it's just that some had another colour, was bigger, meh it was just boring. The music was okay I guess.
Try something else next, something new.

[The Room 1]

Not bad, not good,

I really liked this game, for it's gameplay.
You did a good job on it. I was able to solve it all myself in like 15 minutes.
Too bad there isn't any sound, you should add that (maybe you can put a music player in your inventory so you can turn off music too)
The graphics weren't very good either, try working harder on it, maybe add some more shadowing effects and such.
By the way, what was up with the number code that spells U.M.B.R.E.L.L.A?
Anyway good job, I liked this very much, make more please.
