Krystman's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Steel Surge: Revolution]

Fantastic Bullet Hell Shmup! Easily among the best Shmups on this website!

[Kalikan]

Fantastic little Bullet Hell Shmup! Feels like a Cave game. Love that Moon!

[POOM]

POOM is an incredible achievement! Glad to see it here.

[Rocket Attack]

Style over substance

First off, the graphics look REALLY polished. You can see that somebody put some effort into it. I like them.

But there are two thing wrong with them:
1. They are a bit random. There seems to be no reason why the Robot looks like that and he doesn't have anything which would make him worth remembering. If you put so much effort into graphics, it is imprtant to work on the character of the graphics as well so they will have an appeal.

2. They slow my computer down (2Ghz Single Core) which is really bad. Bad graphics which run smooth are more fun that great graphics which stutter.

As for the game, itself it's the same: if you put so much effort into something, make sure it stands out from the crowd. Otherwise you are just wasting time.

Still I can see that somebody talented is at work here. Keep it up!

[Ultra Avoiding TURBO]

Polished but plain and boring

It is a very simple game where you have to avoid different objects with your mouse. The game concept is very simple and very old. This particular remake doesn't really seem feature any improvements. The graphics are very crude and arbitrary, the music is something I'd rather turn off immediately. Although the game seems to have some polish (after the 3rd revision nothing you wouldn't expect) it isn't something I would spend too long playing. It needs some new game ideas and a consistent theme.

[Night Of The Snowmen]

Nice Animations

This Game features some very well done, funny animations and characters.

The gameplay, however, is somewhat dull and I can't stand any Christmas-Themed Games anymore.

[Elv is Black 2]

Great Game!

Great Game! Great Graphics, great animation, simple and nice gameplay. Cool music, adorable characters. I love it!

[The Parrot Hunter]

Nothing too new but some interesting features

I completely fail to understand why anybody would get money for shooting parrots.. or would play a game where he gets virtual money for shooting parrots. Besides that, it is your average click-on-moving-things-to-shoot-them-
game.

There are some crazy features though. There are some amazingly long and elaborate cut scenes, which you don't really need in this kind of game but they are still somewhat impressive. Then there is the option to invest the money you've got to earn even more money without shooting parrots which is just bizzare because I thought shooting parrots was the point of the game.

Nice, interesting game with some "production value" but, as I said, the gameplay is quite boring.

[Santa's Tower. Red Beard]

Technically Awesome

For the technical point of view, this is an awesome game! Good graphics and amazing controls.

However, I think it is easy at the beginning and it doesn't get difficult fast enough. There is no real challenge.

Also, it is not clear which way around you are supposed to write the symbols. It leads to problems with the symbol ^

And last but not least, I'm soooo sick of the Christmas theme. The game is good enough to be played all year around, why limiting it to a seasonal thing?

However, in spite of the nit-picking it is still a very well-made game.

[YOUR FACE (full)]

Solid game with a crazy look

The game is neither hard nor really innovative but I really enjoyed the graphic style: it looks so hand-made which sets it appart from the crowd.
