Nylo's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Marina Attack -Extended-]

Movement feels really good, though I got mixed up sometimes between the capture-weapon button and the fire button since they're so close to each other. The capture-weapon tentacle was a nice feature, but I found myself wishing I could have caught weapons by touching an enemy with the entire tentacle, and not just the tip. Having no choice but to place myself directly in the line of enemy fire was kind of annoying.

Your boss fights are ridiculously hard. Like WAY hard. I was glad that the second boss offered power-ups. Maybe this is what the first fight was lacking? Showing some battle damage on the bosses might help if you don't want to lower the difficulty. That way players are encouraged to keep fighting if they see their hits having an impact.

Nice concept and controls overall. Some variety in music, more power-ups early in the game, and a tweaking of the boss battles would make this really great.

Controls are responsive and harmonize well with the game environment. I almost got stumped on the last level, but a little logic and perseverance go a long way. Great job, it's a really well made little game.

[Ermy and the Frozen World]

Not bad, not great

The playability was catchy and the music loop was fitting, but it felt a bit off not to have sound effects for the gunshots (at least they didn't work for me if there are supposed to be some). The controls got a bit awkward since the aim swings around in a fixed circular way, but not impossible to adapt to.

It's good, it just feels a little incomplete.

[2008 Candidate Quiz]

Informative, but dull

I happen to enjoy political discussion, but the flash quiz was a bit dull. The content was good, however, so I think that earns some good points. If there were some music or pictures, or some kind of additional media it would really help. Also, the end result table wasn't confusing, per se, but anti-climactic. It'd be cool to have a high-lighted name and a link to their website or something like that.

Overall it was informative, but a little lacking in the power to reach large audiences.

[Smileys War]

Nice Soldat/Worms integration

Pretty fun game, I like how the style did a lot of justice to Worms and Soldat. The only problem I had with the game was control. It was difficult at times to aim without sliding out of the window, resulting in a kind of aim drift where you have to click back in the window to correct yourself.

I thought it was pretty fun, overall.

[Virtual Stoner V.1]

Needs more content

It was ok, it gave me a good smile, but the length felt rushed.

[Wiggi Trash PickerUpper]

Not bad, but too repetitive

I thought the title screen was cute enough, so I think it's got some genuine appeal, but the gameplay was a bit repetitive. If there were some power-ups and obsticales then you'd start cooking with some gasoline. And there really should be a non-repetitive song that's more than five seconds; it gets annoying after a while.
It's got a cute concept, though. You should expand on WiggiWorld and throw a few friends and minor baddies that could be villains in there just for some kicks. Good luck, I think this could be pretty cool if you put some more bodywork under the hood.

I like your review until you gave me 0 points. I think that was a little bit unfair. :(

[Wade vs The StarSyndicate]

Extremely Addictive

For such a simple game, that was insanely fun. Cranking up the challenge when you approach the City is not only greatly appreciated in terms of variety, but also really brings out the games strength in interactivity, style, and all around fun.
It's quite a feat to pull off a genuinely fun game in Flash that taps into a good balance of fun and challenge, and you pulled it off quite nicely. Really enjoyed this game.

Thanks for the review :)
