Dementos's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Insert Coin: Pico N' Me]

Hrmmm

From plying through only the first room (and dieing in the process) it seems like you spent all of your time on the graphics, which were great, but nothing on gameplay. If the enemies were less in the first level and the rat things were easier to kill, I would have given a higher score.

Torrunt responds:

We didn't have that much time to test+tinker with the gameplay but the first level can be very easy once you figure out a good technique. To beat the 'rat's (worms) just jump up somewhere high, to beat the respawning enemies, lure them away and rush back to destroy their door while they slowly make their way back or just simply jump up and down to dodge their lasers as you shoot their door.

From what I've read i think the game just doesn't have a very good learning curve, i might make the first level easier to help ease people in. Thanks for the review!

fantastic

this game is all I could ask. It's two player and 1 player at the same time! (try multitasking!) The graphics fit the game pefectly. Maybe for the sequel have a one player and 2 player mode? And a sandbox mode!

BasV responds:

I'm thinking about making a sequel where you can play with friends over the internet (maybe up to four). But that'll require me to rent a server, etc, so, not sure yet!
Thanks for the review!

Simple fun

The game overall was VERY simple. But this is not that bad. The simpleness kept me playing for hours (well, 1 hour but still) there are just a few things that I would improve: 1) Make more modes like *stops to play* endurance and one where you try to make the biggest chain possible.
2) More power ups like a destroy all enemies power
3) And finally, the snake style movement was good but it stuffed me up sometimes. Make diagonal movement possible.

Now for things that you should keep in the game. There is just one thing: the simpleness of it.

Hope this helps!

dementos :D

Grendelio responds:

Game modes and more powerups is a good idea, but I don´t agree with a "destroy all enemies" powerup -could make the game too easy.

wow~!

Good game. More luck involved than skill but oh well. Wondering if you got the idea off Boom Shine. Well done.

And one more thing: Du bist Deutch. Ja? Oder nein?

finefin responds:

yes, I am "deutsch" (^_^) --- Hallo, mein Freund.

I *did* play boomshine, and i found it kind of boring
and even more based on luck than my game...
So I tried to create a game with a little more depth and story.

I hear many complaints about copying/stealing here on NG.
but i don't understand that, because cloning games is
absolutely normal in the casual game industry...
How many Tetris and Pong clones are out there?
Countless!
How manyBoomshine clones are out there?

have a nice day.
