Compdude's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pimp's Quest]

Great fun.

Very fun! Good solid gameplay, with that tried-and-true formula of "get one thing that leads to another" that never gets old. The shooting levels are a nice touch as well. While the graphics may be just average at times, I loved the voices. Who does the pimp's voice - he's great!
.
My only complaint is, because it's so fun, it's over too quickly. The ending is somewhat of a letdown as well. I'm sure a lot of the boys out there were hoping for some gratuitous porn at the end (aside from the old man variety). But, as a whole, it's great fun. Keep it up!

[Portal Fighter II]

Good game worthy of improvement.

A fun portal rivalry game, with a BETTER selection of characters (one of my major complaints about the first Portal Fighter). Animation is in your nice quirky style, and I personally liked the BG music for the different characters. The different modes and difficulty levels also add to the replay value.
.
On the downside, I still thought some of your characters were obscure choices. Maybe I don't get around NG enough, but I've never heard of Fjaskar Fredde or Darvon. Special attacks don't seem to be dramatic enough, either. It's also very annoying to restart the entire opening Neostone sequence every time you win/lose. Might I also recommend more sounds for the characters? Eskimo Bob sounded great when you hit him - try adding some soundclips from Disorderly and Tako, if possible. Most importantly, I hate that the characters don't move. Yes, I'm sure it's MUCH, MUCH NICER to program that way, the lack of movement of the characters makes it seem a bit like a slapping match.
.
Good game overall, but needs improvement in some areas. Keep at it!

[Dinosaur Dressup!]

Just dressup.

Yup, it's dressup. Umm... yeah.

[soundbox]

Innovative and fun!

Innovative, clever,and fun! A painless and enjoyable way to mix some techno soundbytes and beats. The best thing is the seamless 3d graphics and music syncrhonization of each piece to your own liking. And if anyone cres to now, I found favorite beat to be an increasing mix of PXIEQ. Add each one in that order, on the downbeat, and I think it sounds really neat!

[clock shootout]

Good idea, bad method.

It's a neat idea, but your method of "keep your mouse off the window" is extremely annoying - it would have been much better had you designated a specific spot on the game screen where to keep your mouse until the right time. Also, the voice when you draw early is really grating, and the ending, if there is such, is extremely unsatisfying. Nice try, but could be a lot better.

[Project EDDIE]

Sweet shooter.

Unreal! Your mad Flash programming skillz shine through again. Very solid R-type style shooter, with awesome authentic graphics and simple but fun gameplay. The fish-sketch boss was an incredible display of creativity and art - I absolutely loved it. Oh, and the "Ass Beard" part. That was great.
.
Uhh... suggestions? Well, I might suggest you allow Eddie to face backwards as well - it got somewhat annoying during that spikey boss to fire at him when he was at the left of the screen. You might also benefit from a more organized level heiarchy, instead of just a round of bosses. Umm... powerups, tallying score, unlockable characters, multiplayer? It might be neat to have crossover villans from other video games, perhaps ala Sonic, Metroid, or some old campy 80's villans like He-man, Transformers, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Whatever you add could only improve this work-in-progress. Nice work!

[Wrath]

Fun but incomplete.

A good premise for a game, and it plays itself quite fun, but it feels incomplete - it lacks sound, levels, scrolling, and the such. I just wanted to make sure I tried Wrath I before I tried the sequels.

[Hurt the Happy Penguin]

Poor penguin.

Fun and cruel, especially with the overly-sweet voice for the last two choices. More options would have been nice, but it's good penguin-killing fun.

[Mass Destruction Game!]

An average game.

A neat idea, but it runs rather slow, the window's too large, and it's a bit bland and basic in its presentation. Shows promise, though.

[Trick with 20 dollar bill]

Interesting.

Hmm. Certainly an interesting trick. Of course, it's all entirely coincidental and requires a little stretch of imagination, but it's a good trick to freak out some drunk friends. Not much as a flash (as you said, five minute effort), but thanks for bringing it to our attention.
