SeethingSwarm's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[SARCO]

The artwork, atmosphere and music in this game are all brilliant. It's more like an interactive linear story than a proper game to me and, like you said, very short, but I still enjoyed it very much! The whole story/plot is a mystery to me and I'm not sure what is going on in this game, but it added to the intrigue. Hopefully things will become clearer in later chapters.

All in all, the artwork and atmosphere kept me glued to the screen. Great job! Looking forward to seeing more of this :)

CosmicGhost responds:

Thanks a lot! I just played your Theropods game, it's really good! Especially the beginning, it felt really live and intense. Would love to collaborate with you guys in the future! :)

[Brawlin' Sailor]

Amazing! Love the animation and all the other jazz. Very unexpected with all kinds of pleasantries :) Wouldn't really call it a game, but for 4 days this is a masterpiece!

molkman responds:

Thanks mate!

[Muse]

Nice for a first game!

This game needs sound. Other than that, it's a pretty fun time waster. It would also have been nice if you did not have any lives, but would just have to restart the level when you die. It got too annoying having to start from the very beginning and to do everything all over again, so I quit...

Mindem responds:

Thanks. I will keep that in mind

[A Bad Taste of Pico]

Best of Pico Day 2009!

Wow, this impressed the hell outta me!
The gameplay is smooth and simple and it never got boring. The difficulty is spot-on and I love all the weird enemies. There is just enough of a storyline and the art is really cool! A Bad taste of Pico is a brilliant flash game and one of the best free 2d sidescrollers I've played on the web.

I would have liked to see more bosses though. The endboss was a bit of a disappointment, except for the boss at the bitter end, he was ridiculously hard and hilarious :) Thanks for the awesome rollercoaster ride Joelasticot, Hopeku and UltraPitchFork. You guys did an amazing job!

Joelasticot responds:

Thanks. The boss was coded at 1AM on the 30th (which happenned to be the deadline) so yeah, that's why it's pretty short and easy :p

[Barbarian Bob [Remake]]

Great game! But there's a few glitches...

Hey! I fell in love with Barbarian Bob back in 2005 and it's one of the games that inspired me to become a flash game designer. Thanks for re-doing this :)

I played it on easy but still couldnt get very far. The reason is that quite often I just can't shield. I'll have to do a 360 first before I can block again. I'd get hit once or twice everytime because of this. It happened to me with almost every enemy. Very frustrating. My game ended when I fell off a cliff :( I clicked on the continue button, but for some reason poor Bob appears off screen probably below the screen somewhere and just falls to his death again, because I'll automatically end up at the game over screen once more. I tried this a couple of times, but poor Bob just wont appear on a stable platform to continue from...

I like the new backgrounds and it's also nice to see the old ones there as well :) The music is funny and weird, I like it :)

Skribble-Style responds:

Thanks for the review! I'll definitely put that on the list of bugs to check. Very much appreciated, sir!

[Look out, Mr Johnson!]

Love it!

This game is hilariously fun! Julian Montijo, you really did some nice voice-acting there and Molkman, I appreciate the detail and love you poured into this game. Cool idea and great execution. And you made the music yourself too, awesome! Exotworking kicks ass!

molkman responds:

Hehe, thanks alot. Glad you enjoyed it that much. :)

Dragamex sure did some hot magic with the voices.
