BasV's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Paths 2]

-

no, I'm sorry, very nice but very very unoriginal, there are tons of games like this and for some reason (you are known here) this one makes it to the front page. Graphics weren't special, sound was pretty good though

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

name 1 other game like this that isn't the prequel

[B.L.A.C.K. 2]

It was pretty good, but not that good.. Try to make the enemies move, make them have a line of sight instead of having them detect you as soon as you appear. The weapon switching didn't really work well, and the game was repetitive almost instantly. The graphics were a bit simple (a stick man, c'mon seriously you can do better than a stick man!). The sound was pretty good though (different sounds for different weapons, just makes it much better) But you should really work on A artificial intelligence, they were stationary guns, nothing more!

[Orbital Experiment]

nice

I don't think it really belongs on newgrounds but it's a pretty realistic looking simulation (however the first planet suddenly changes its orbit at a certain point), but nice.

[the biggest cheater]

nice idea

you can actually do the hittest whatever cursor you have:
(any blank object following the mouse).hitTest(_xmouse,_ymouse ,true)

I know but the blue ball might cause some problems.

[Basic preloader tutorial]

-

You can make the preloader much smoother if you make the loading bar filler a movieclip with a ID (like id_filler), and make it stretch, something like:

_root.id_filler._width = percentloaded

I'll give you and hint:

if (this._x > 550) this._x = 550;
if (this._x < 0) this._x = 0;
if (this._y > 400) this._y = 400
if (this._y < 0) this._y = 0;

or whatever your room's dimensions are.
Also, what the fuck does an angel need gold for? :P

[Skirmish - Game]

too buggy

When I first played this, the bazooka didn't work at all, then I restarted, then the bazooka worked a few times, but when I switched back from uzi to bazooka it stopped working again. There's something wrong with your recharge code. Another example of that is the uzi; when they are 75% overheated, and I switch to sword, then switch back to uzi after a few seconds, it's still at 75%. Make a global instance that handles the recharging. You really needed to work more on this before submitting. Good luck on your next game!

Sceptz responds:

The uzi is supposed to stay heated when you switch weapons. And how did the bazooka not work when you started?
Never seemed to have that problem.

goddamn I'm supposed to get up early tomorrow, I've been playing this all night. Congratulations on that :P This is the best defence game available!

[Christmas Sigworminator]

best dress up game, great quality. Though it stopped working when the music stopped... ?

[Super Mario Hardcore]

-

it was pretty good, but it was very buggy.. You really need to toy more with actionscript.. When you press right+left when standing against a wall, the camera moves without mario, and you can't see mario anymore.. Also, in the second level there a bad code which makes the game crash.. Good luck mastering actionscript :-P

Casualty responds:

You don't know how much I toyed with actionscript on this one... You just dont' know...
