[The Impossible Quiz 2]

Finally!

After having to sift through the overload of low-quality imitators, I'm estatic to see another impossible quiz. Funny, intelligent, and interesting; you've truly delivered something to be remembered in the annals of Newground history. Great work!...Now, more imitators.

[CellFarm]

Cool Concept

For what you have presented here, you have done very well. It actually looks quite like real splitting cells. Though there's really not much to it, I see amazing potential in what you have created in terms of interactive games. It would be great to have a real time strategy game on the molecular level, or a "Cell Harvester" or something of the sort. Good work.

[Hover Bot Arena]

Extremely Addictive

Very addicting game, you could loose quite a bit of time on this. Which brings up one of the flaws. The clock slows down on survival missions as the game slows down. It's only recording seconds past in game, and when you get little skips from lag, it takes much longer then the alloted time. I did realize that if I didn't shoot, and just sped around to the four corners as they came, the lag subsided and time was passing at standard speed. More powerups, weapons, enemies, and perhaps a music selection would have given this game a nice polish, however the game is still fun for quite a while as is. I especially enjoyed the Asteroids level, very clever. Great work.

[Railroad Ruckus]

Great game

Great concept, I have never known trains to possess such engrossing entertainment. The difficulty rose steadily enough to practice hand-eye coordination and at the same providing a challenge. If you don't learn quickly you won't last long. The powerups were simple, but I viewed them as a much needed breather now and then. An overall fantastic game, took me down at level 21.

An Incredible Feat of Flash

You've created something wonderful. Flash gaming at its finest and then some. You've certainly raised the bar for all to come. Congratulations.

[Sudoku]

An excellent flash Sudoku

Seeing as I've never found another Sudoku on NG, this is an excellent first attempt. No bugs, well presented, and I started another game just to see if the game board was different each time, I'm glad to see it wasn't the same puzzle over and over again. I'm not a Sudoku enthusiast by any means, but I did find the puzzle quite easy, and only took about 4:33 to complete it. I would look forward to seeing you create another one, and I have a few suggestions that you've probably already thought of.

First, a longer sound clip, it got a bit repetative, and it would even be nice to see different tracks you could pick, ranging from slower, mellower tunes to faster paced ones, depending on the solver's needs. Next, a "congratulations" message (Or something of the sort) after completeing the puzzle succesfully. I admit I was a bit confused at first after hitting "Solution", I didn't know if it was over or if I had answered correctly. Also adding a "next puzzle" button would be nice, so you wouldn't have to start the whole flash over. If this were in place, you could have a personal best time that would update so you could easily see if you were getting better. And last, if a total high score table could be added to see who's the ultimate Sudoku master on NG, you could start a Newgrounds Sudoku craze. However, I know those can be quite difficult to make.

Whether or not you choose to create another, this was was a success. Great work.

[Tattoo Artist]

An addicting and unique game.

I found this game too be most enjoyable because you have tapped into an artistic dream, at for myself. The idea of placing my art on to someone's body permanantly is something I've always wanted to do. The gameplay is not meticulous, but challenging. Your simple designs fit well as both levels, and tattoos, the most memorable being the maze, "e sucks", and the NG tank. The music loop got to be pretty annoying after some time, but did not hinder my concentration enough to take away from the game. But perhaps a music selection, or a music on/off button would help. Best of all, you've got an actual, working scoreboard. It's extremely satisfying to see your own name on it, even if only a short while. In hopes of a sequal, pehaps you could add different colors or difficulties to add depth. An overall fatisfying and fun game, great work.

[RaidenX]

One of the best games I've ever seen on Newgrounds

First and foremost; Fantastic game. Brings back memories of games like 1942 for the NES, and many others from the SNES. Great bosses, gameplay, powerups, and variety. The only advice I can really give is that it was too easy, even on hard mode. When you got to a certain level of the powerups, they just blow away everything. Fun none-the-less. Great game.

[Newgrounds SIM v 1.2]

The most pointless game ever

And yet I was strangely addicted, enough to finish all 20 Sticker goals. How ironic. As pointless as it may be, it was indeed an incredible game. You've captured almost every aspect of Newgrounds/flash, so it truly felt like a second, much faster NG experience. Wonderful work.

[Tic-Tac-Toe Levels]

Now that was a damn good idea

When you learn to master it's few move combinations, tic-tac-toe loses it's playability forever, simply because it's so limited. You've solved that problem. You're presentation was excellent, the A.I. was challenging, and increasing the winning line into 4 blocks instead of 3 was a nice touch. You've breathed creative life back into a dead game. Wonderful work.
