molkman's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fall Damage]

Cute as a button

I really like the concept here and the visuals are pretty cute as the music's relaxing, so everything feels super mellow; just right for a casual game like this. I'm also glad this has no upgrades system to simply multiply the playtime, as a name like "Fall Damage" nowadays would imply.

The controls and the way you move feel a bit weird at the beginning, though. By the way, I noticed that at the beginning even when you don't take any fall damage, it still says "Looks like you took some fall damage.".

Rad

I like how you shoot off pixels off of the enemies, that's a rather pleasant feature. The voices are a bit weird though.

I love your games

I really love your games. They breathe such a nice arcade atmosphere and the graphics are just what is needed for such a game. I just love how they are not more and not less than what they should be. :R

I really love this game simply because of it's art. Yours is such an honest and uncommercial style that's just so much fun looking at as much fun as it is to play the game, that is also nicely coded.

Komix responds:

thank you, I also liked your game Lucky Tower

[PSN Protector]

Theme lost

The game is fun and the idea is nice, but the graphics are just so boring. The concept is pretty funny, but that is also the problem of the game. The title implies that the game is a funny reference to the PSN incident, which it clearly is not. It really needs a major injection of humor. For example the upgrades could be themed in a way they fit the whole PSN incident. All in all, the funny stops right after clicking the link to play the game and the game itself turns out to not be related to the theme at all except for there being a black box with PS symbols in the middle.

Kenney responds:

Well ofcourse the black box in the middle is supposed to be the PSN server and the other shapes are hackers (how are you supposed to draw 'hackers'?). The upgrades make sense game wise and aren't witty and confusing. I decided not to add any backstory or expansive instructions because I was aiming for the most simple approach. Sadly, not everyone 'gets' it. Thanks for your review though!

[Eye of the Storm]

Coolio

Nice art, works perfectly in a game and the bear animations are pretty slick. It looked a bit weird how the ground stuff rotated very slowly though and I wish there was more variety in stuff dropping, depending on the background scene maybe.

It would've been interesting as well to have the ground tilt on sea.

[Soviet Rocket Giraffe]

Addicting!

Really addicting and mellow. I always enjoy the art from Jimp alot as well. It was a bit hard to land and especially to see where you can land once you fly for a long time because there's just so much explosions and shizzle going on. Other than that it's great fun.

Awkwardtastic

That was pretty crazy all in all. I liked the random- and weirdness. Also those bricks are sexy as heck. Loved the ending as well.
