CARTOONICA's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bearboy and the Cursor]

Bearboy & Cursor - Awesome idea!

I can't say anything bad about this game.
The music is pretty good, the game seems to have no bugs, it runs well on my PC/browser, the controls are smooth and the graphic looks sweet!
There are some quiet difficult levels, but due to infinite lives and some well placed check points, almost everyone should be able to beat this game.
Therefore the motivation factor is pretty good and the demotivation close to zero imo.
I like the whole concept - love the Bearboy, man! Really a chilled game (for an overall lame Sunday).
Hope there will be a second part. I.e. just made of levels, primary focused on highscores such as time or points.

Cheers.

"RAPE"

I C wut ya did thurr! :O (Got me)

Anyway, nice work, man!
No criticism from my side - everything is fine imo.
...but I really wish there were more games like this one
(there is just a handful) on Newgrounds.
It's always fun to guess the next move and bump into some unexpected things.
+ the 8bit sounds enable my inner nostlagia mode.

Cheers!

Cheers right back!

[Obey! The Game]

Nice and simple, yet kinda addicting

Very addicting game with much fun and no signs of heavy frustration.
The graphics and everything runs well without lack, even if it gets really fast.
There is only one negative thing about this game.
The level "Survive" (falling spike ceiling) isn't possible to manage with x8.2 speed.
The left/right or a/d keys are simply not accurate enough.
Every other level is fine...if you got fast reaction.
Good work.

[Vector Rush]

Trippin' balls

Yes, a little bit, but that design + those effects are pretty cool and I really like the feeling of the controls.
It instantly reminded me of that certain "Star Fox" level on the SNES.
Maybe you can do a second version of this game with some enemies and some weapons to shoot them down. I mean, this game is good and entertaining the way it is, but I'd really like to see a shooter with that kind of graphic.
Anyway, great work!

Vibe13 responds:

I've just started on a new version to see if I can get some stuff in there to shoot.

Really nice game - I like it!

I really enjoyed this game. It has a small story, simple but nice soundtrack and yea, it's fun to play.
I had no issues with the controls, everything is working fine.
There is only one bug at the beginning. If you press "skip" at the beginning,
the background music still plays. Two tracks at the same time are a bit annoying, so I pressed "mute". It muted the second track, but the first from the beginning was still playing.
The achievements are easy to get (after a while), except the country archievements. F.e. England within 8 days is pretty tough if you start with 0 upgrades imo. I had to pass on those medals.
The end of the story is nice too. But what happened to the little girl?
I was also playing this game, 'cause I wanted to see what Santa will do to help the little girl.
Anyway, good concept and well executed game play!

[JetBus]

I like it, but...

This game is really fun and the physics are working fine!
But the "hard mode" is a little bit too difficult imo.
Guessing the right door for the current passenger and getting the money within the time limit is nearly impossible. You need a good amount of luck and less skill to fulfill this task.
Nevertheless, it's overall a good game.

[Brain Waves by the Robs]

Nice Game

I really like such kind of games, 'cause most of them seem to have no limit and encourage to become better.
The controls are easy, work great and there seem to be no bugs or any issues in general.
The only point of criticism is the "SPEED" game (and also speed medal).
I think it's a bit unfair for those, who can't write with 10 fingers and therefore aren't that certain like a person, who uses all his fingers everyday.
But beside that, good work!

Nice work!

This game looks really good and has several difficult modes,
suitable for everyone's taste.
The music is okay and doesn't annoy while killing zombies.
The gamecontrols are very easy and work properly.
It's a nice time killer and I like the mix between "srs" gory killing and manga style characters
(kinda reminds me of Metal Slug, but obviously different though).

Bugs:
When I reached the Leningrad level, there was always an issue with the results screen. I killed all zombies and was still able to walk - and shoot around,
but the screen never showed up, ergo I stuck into the level/map and had to restart the level. This is quite the pain if someone finished one of those levels in Demigod mode.

I wish NG would drop more medals like "reach .... score to get the ..... medal", 'cause the Rampage mode is not challenging enough that way.

[Sieger]

Nice work!

I played the "Crush The Castle" (1&2) and compared to CtC parts the only difference is the way you attack the target. I really like this different way.
Reasoning (and sometimes some luck) works in this game, ergo good physics and no random physics. The graphics and details of the setup look good, the game runs without lacks on my PC.
The music fits great imo, the sound effects are not annoying.
Good work!

[Apples in the Tree]

Smooth game.

I like the main theme of this game (what's the name of the song?)
+ the slightly psychedelic design.
It's a really smooth game to relax and to kill some time without stress,
except(!) the dream part.
I really tried several times to rescue Sharon and to escape theTornado of Souls at the same time, but I can't manage both. It's hard enough to escape the Tornado of Souls and the reason for that are the controls.
The controls are okay in the main world, but it's too uncertain/imprecise for a speed run, where you aren't allowed to make one mistake or lose a single second.
Fixing the physics and controls would remove this issue.
But beside that, I like how you merge music and your art.
You really succeed to create an ambience.
Good work!
