MetalDart's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Newgrounds Rumble]

Addictive Games are addictiving

Nice job to everyone. This game is addictive. The only things that Id suggest are (if possible) online play and make your own characters.

Awesome game and Im going to play even more now. :D

NegativeONE responds:

Online play is a dream. We'll see. Character creation is unlikely because the characters in this game are frame by frame animated to have their own unique attack set, rather than a generic movie-clip based attack set. Thanks for your review.

[Accumulate]

I'm hooked Cybex >:(

Simple concept, addictive gameplay. I really enjoyed it.
Awesome game man. Congrats on the Daily Second. <3

Cybex responds:

Thanks, i never expected an award before i submitted it.

[Jive Machine]

Great job guys

Blue Hippo showed me this while it was still in production. You guys did a great job.

The graphics were great. Blue Hippo's backgrounds more enjoyable and had a nice cartoonish feeling. And OMG! I never knew what you looked like!!!

Great interactivity. It was cool to play and very addicting. Watching dave dance is almost hypnotising.

Improvments? dave needs to the the head bop so he can dance to "What is Love?" properly! >:C

Overall, great job guys. I am so jealous right now. ;)
Grade: A+

BlueHippo responds:

I knew I was missing a dance move.

[Newground$ Tutorial]

Almost average

I already knew most of that stuff, so I was dissapointed that you didn't bring anything new to the scene.

The graphics were mediocre at best. The images of the daily awards and other images were very pixilated and had bad quality. Also, you didn't draw most of that stuff. Also, there was no style because most of it cou;d be found in the rules/FAQ.

Not much violence, humore, sound, but there was some interactivity. Not much to call it a game, but enough to earn you a few points.

Improvements? Make the images have better quality, and try giving other tips as well. Include more information with brighter graphics. It was pretty hard to read.

Overall, mediocre flash and has a lot of room to improve on.
Grade: D+

Okay thanks for the advice

[3XA: Flight of Death V1.5]

Simple and fun

I liked the premise behind it, but I was so used to having lasers, that I had to grow used to not using it.

The graphics were simplistic. It would be nice if you could spice things up a bit like making meteors move closer to the screen, or a different background.

Good songs, both were good. They were clear and didn't become tedious, so it was relaxing. Maybe some more upbeat beat music to make it more exciting.

The gameplay was good. You didn't introduce anything new to the scene, you just took away some mechanics. Try doing something more unique,

Overall, it was a good flash, but you didn't introduce anything new.
Grade: C

Cryzabey responds:

Thanks for the review = ).

When we update it next month we'll be sure to add lasers = P. Along with many other upgrades to make it much more original. Msg me with BG ideas?

[King of Buttons 3]

Why yes, I do like sausages

I found that secret, but I won't tell others where to find it. I'm still looking for others.

The graphics were pretty good. Nothing too astounding when all the graphics are buttons and a sausage. The style was great and all the different game modes were very creative.

The sound was alright, got a little annoying at times, but not too much to stop me from playing. Maybe try some quicker and more upbeat music if possible.

Not much violence or humor, but the gameplay covers for those. I loved the games, but I was confused at parts. I am to used to clicking buttons that I didn't realize I needed to use the spacebar. Also, it was a shame that most games had X's through them, so I just wonder what I missed out on.

As for the stuff you did include, I must say, it had me entertained. I didn't expect a story mode and the rhythm mode was challenging, but fun!

Improvements? Different background on main menu. I don't really like the feel of it. Also, include more games! So overall, great game, and I enjoyed it very much. Responses highly appreciated.
Grade: A

hehe, that secret is pretty easy to find yes, but it has over 10 other secrets :)

[The NG Study Buddy]

Very Handy

The last thing I think of when I think of Newgrounds is homeowrk. But you changed it and made this little study tool. It was very handy.

The graphics are pretty cool, and the layout was very easy to access. There wasn't that much graphics, but all details were worked on, and were pleasant to look at. It was a very good style, and seemed to perfectly match Newgrounds.

Great song selection. The first track was the one I listened to the most. It was kind of soothing and my favorite. You don't need more songs, and I like the songs the way they are.

Good interactivity, but not enough for it to be a "game." Still, all the typing and clicking is interactive. Not much humor or violence, but there shouldn't be any.

Improvements? You should add some default questions. Like some basic algebra or science. Also, I don't know if it's possible, but a sharing method would be nice. Not just could you have your own, but other's study notes as well. Also, you picked an odd time to release this. It's summer for me, and there's no need for it. But when school arrives, I'll be using this a lot. I'll add it to favorites.

Overall, very handy and useful, but odd time to release it. Responses highly appreciated.
Grade: A-

Moosh responds:

Hey you got some pretty cool ideas there, maybe I just might use them in an updated version :)

And yeah it's also summer over here. After the end year exams, I just thought of making something like this would be helpful.

Hope it comes really handy for you :D

[K-FED: Dancing with Fire]

That was surprisingly fun

I saw this under judgment and thought what an honor it would be to see it. It was funny seeing the K-FED title because I know it would be another kill that celebrity type of game the moment I opened it. That preloader was amazing. It was quick, it had great graphics, and it was Newgrounds. Now onto the flash itself.

The graphics were amazing. Maybe something I would see on MTV's sickemation or another cartoon show. It did look like the celebrity counter parts, and it looked like you tried to work out every last detail. The sound was great, but it kind of got annoying hearin "Popozoa!" over and over again. But in a way, that's what K-FED actually does, so that actually fit in quite well. There was a lot of violence. I mean, when you punch someone's face off, you know there will be violence.

Now for the interactivity. This had some great gameplay, and was easy to get into. Actually, it was so easy that I skipped the instructions and started beating him up. The part I found amazing, I WON! Not reading objectives or anything, I beat the game first try. Part of it was dumb luck actually. I liked how you could beat up K-Fed early on and get a hang of it, but when Britney showed up, thats where I started using my brain. It was very cool and tricky to see that you had to beat the baby out of her hands to get her to move. Thats what I love about this game. IT's a fighting game, but you still gotta use your brains.

Some improvements, more celebrities to beat up! I wanted to beat up more people, but the replay value of this game is great.

So, this was a great game and you all did your part. Expect some bad reviews saying that it was made by Tom Fulp and is over rated. I will always love this game knowing I played it first. Into my favorites it goes! Responces highly appreciated.
Grade: A+

TomFulp responds:

Thanks for the beefy review. I was worried that the game was too easy... It was tempting to add a block button and some more strategy elements, but I wanted to keep it mouse driven in case players want to beat off to the sheer goodness of beating up KFed.

[Ultimate Newgrounds Quiz!]

An intriguing quiz

The level one test was very easy for me, and it was sad how the level fifteen wasn't working. The level 30 was a challenge, but some questions, to me, seemed pointless. But still, a great way to test your knowledge about Newgrounds! I wish some of the quizzes were longer, because I found this game to be pretty short. Also, it would be nice if you had other questions for beginners like "Who stole teh cadny?" or "Are we still friends?" Nice interactivity, but no replay value. Overall, fun little quiz, but over too quickly.
Grade: C+

Kronzo-Productions responds:

Did I fail? Lol. Thanks for the review.

[PICO VS BEАR DX]

I remember Pee Wee...

That was a funny show and this sounboard brings back memories. You had a good selection of songs, but I was slightly irritated with bad capitalization, and some of the words weren't actually written out. Like your other soundboards, not much graphics, violence, and a little bit of humor. I wanted to hear other chracters like the genie with "Meka leka hi meka hiney ho!" or other catch phrases. I would like to see more character selection, and more pictures. Still, I enjoyed this sounboard and would like to see more!
Overall: B-

FattyWhale responds:

I purposely didn't capitalize anything...didn't think it would make anyone angry. The characters are actually from the show Pee Wee's Playhouse, not the movie, which is why I don't have them.
