Knives's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tankmen: Battle 2]

I didn't really care for this.

My biggest complaint would be that the flash window is simply too small, I had a hard time reading the text in the game.

My second biggest complaint is that the over all combat system is very easy, and didn't really require a whole lot of thought.

My third biggest complaint is the frequent advertising after every round win. I really feel that putting ads in my face when all I'm trying to do is play a flash game, is a little much.

I do acknowledge the effort done here, the drawing was acceptable and the animation itself was also acceptable.

The music track was a good selection, some of the weapon effects need to be tweaked to fit in with the rest of the sounds and music, but over all it was acceptable.

I just can't bring myself to finish the game. And these simplistic kill things and level up final fantasy mini games are nothing too special and usually end up being rehashes of previous submissions not submitted more then a week ago.

Try to diversify your work and make it stand up, take inspiration from other work but try not to clone it.

The effort deserves a 7, the gameplay really deserves 3.

Thanks.

[Meet Match]

Looks good, and plays good.

But suffers from the fact that it's boring. Obviously you have the skill to make a good product, I think you should venture to something else that has more of lasting appeal.

Graphics are solid. Music is...somewhat annoying but the quality is good.

[Ninjas vs Mafia Deluxe]

This is good, but it gets boring.

The detail, sound, and plot are really good here. But the gameplay doesn't have lasting appeal, at least for me anyway.

Good work.

[DEAD TOWN]

Very solid.

The work with the audio is spot on. The simulated film grain was very well done and added a lot of charm to the game.

The game play, although slow at the start grew to be more and more fun. I really enjoyed playing this.

Excellent work.

[4KB Game]

Has a retro feel.

But lacks a lot of content. There really isn't anything to this. I do like the sounds, I think they were a good choice and I am impressed with the file size.

What else can you cram into a tiny file?

[Bits and Pieces]

This was simply. Fantastic...but too short.

I have to say, the cover simply cannot be read to judge the cover. What looks like a simple brainless platformer really opened up into an borderline eerie adventure, all though short had a sense of completion I always love to see in entertainment.

It was brilliant to use messages with the enemies. putting in a plot, a plot one cannot understand was a good move.

The sound was perfect. Even the ringing at the end that stayed after you beat it, somehow empowered the charm of this little game.

My suggestion to you, would be to make another one, refine it a little more, but keep the mystery about it. I had no idea what the hell I was playing, was I a bird? did I have two heads? I could not tell. But as I progressed and did these simple puzzles I found the game play interesting and charming.

But this suffers a fatal flaw, it's way to short. The puzzles were ultimately too easy and the boss fight at the end could be completed nearly instantly using invincibility.

I would like to see this take a dark turn in the future I want to play this again, but i want to be longer, I want to read creepy messages that slowly feed me plot. I want to know that something evil is trying to hurt me and I want to beat it without knowing what it is. Whether or not I get a good ending, I want to leave that up to you.

Please add more content. Please refine this.

You might be on to something here.

[Escape Green Floor Room]

It's playable but needs some work.

Over all the game works as it should, but some of the puzzles are not really as logic driven as I would like to see them. (IE having to have a tool to dig in plant soil in a pot.)

The art work is acceptable, but could be better. Perhaps some background music that plays or a timer to add some suspense would add some more finesse.

[Maze!!]

Solid but lacking detail.

The mechanics are perfect the obstacles were fun the music was spot on.

But I can't help but feel that more could of been done with this. Detailed backgrounds, maybe some themes changing every few levels or so.

If you can refine the game more, put in some more detail you would have a winning combination.

[Marble]

Very solid and fun.

The game is very fun and relaxing. But the bland background and repetitive nature really keep this game from being what it could be.

If you had some beautiful artwork in the background, maybe some spacey backgrounds and more detail in the ball/spinning platforms you could of easily had a higher score.

Maybe even a small plot of why I am having to do this.

Over all the mechanics are solid, but with more refinement maybe it could be a 9 or 10.

Oh, and the soundtrack was perfect.

[Building Blaster 2 P-Pack]

I keep getting pop ups.

Anytime I click anywhere in this game, I keep getting a pop up to a website. I don't know if it's localized to just my machine or if it's a mistake you did in the flash.

The game looks solid, but I cannot seem to do anything in the game due to these pop ups.

What kind of site are you redirected to?
where exactly did you click to get the pop-up - "Play game" button?
