NexusX's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super PSTW Action RPG]

Great commentary...

...on the state of PC / Console game development these days.

[Steampunk]

Has potential

I like the art work and concept a great deal.. which is why I'm rating this a 7/10. Gameplay is out the window though, sorry.. I thought people were being rather harsh but level 4 is where the wheels feel off for me, the gripes about the physics engine became apparent. I can't motion tween a square into a circle never mind program a physics engine, but hoping you can rework it and re-release, because I think it has great potential for me to sink a few hours into..

[Goin Up]

I can stop anytime

How do you use the rocket? Power-Up descriptions could be better.. but, I have Infamous 2 and Red Faction Armaggaddon sitting here and I'm playing this instead... crazy! And I have to get up at 6 for work.. .. 1 more round.

[Burrito Bison]

Great Control

A lot of these toss games, the button pressing and control scheme after you launch to give you a false sense of it not being completely random, the controls only help when your basically dead, and even then just a little. In this game however it was very responsive at any speed and I felt like I was able to steer the guy to great effect. Reminds me of the hulk :)

Oh and 57:10 maxed out :)

[Epic Bungee]

Cord Strength

For me, saving yourself didn't work until I got my cord strength to 4 bars, then it worked as expected. Actually got to the point where it was either stay and spam the spacebar or just die.

As far as game balancing goes, if you just level up your stars all the way you will get a level+ each time, you can ignore the other upgrades. But for a light hearted game this was kinda fun.

[I Am An Insane Rogue AI]

I'm afraid I can't do that Dave

Instant favourite ~ if you make a sequel, consider a sandbox/endless mode (I know you can keep playing, I mean a level that doesn't restart.) I'd like to be able to fart around on a level.. and turn off the pesky hacker with the red hair sometimes.

Classic fun

I really enjoyed this game. I love the sense of "running the gauntlet" when you round about and head back towards the enemies. I was suprised that there was no damage done when you go through an enemy. It would be awesome if you could code in some collateral damage.. to yourself and also other enemies from the death explosions.. be really cool to see some chain-reactions and really hairy as you try to escape the chaos :) But, as it stands on its own, it's an awesome game.. retro and fresh at the same time.

[The Last Canopy]

Awesome

If I was a 12 year old I might agree with some of the harsh reviews below.. but I definetly noticed the variety of absorb attacks, the first level end boss was well done and changed it up a bit as you beat him down. I liked that the harder bad guys took longer to absorb but you got a better attack upgrade. Wrecking ball was a nice touch. Your a fairy trying to save a bird and the bad guys look like construction vehicles, it's kind of environmentalist theme which the kiddies might not like, swap out the graphics for typical run of the mill sci-fi stuff and voila.. (not that I am suggesting you do that). No complaints about the backgrounds.. if you get motion sickness that easily maybe computer games aren't your bag. Good job! Looking forward to your next submission.

[Magic Pen]

Nersop

Even if it was an EXACT clone it's still cool because it's done in flash Nersop.. the guy put a lot of effort into it. "Stealing" game concepts is flattery.. also I don't recall being able to add hinges and pins in the crayon physics game.. and the author gives the original a lot of credit. If I was a savy programmer there are a LOT of flash games out there I'd tweak to my taste and re-release.. but thats life. Why don't you go on a killing spree or something instead?

[IndestructoTank A.E.]

Great overhaul but gameplay is a step backwards

The only negative thing I can say about this is I fully expected my fuel bar to stop depleting whilst being mid-air.. you know, to add the gameplay element of being penalized for being on the ground. It seems impossible to "win".

Reward fuel for colliding with pilots? Logic... uh.. biofuel? ;)

Otherwise an amazing quality flash game.. I wish I could play it full screen!
