Stobak's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space is Key Hell]

I would have wrote a review sooner, but I had to purchase a new keyboard. Though I did finish the game, it was exceedingly difficult. It's very easy to get frustrated in the beginning. The difficulty could have been more evenly balanced in my opinion. Good job overall

ChrisJeffGames responds:

I take no responsibility for broken keyboards either! Thanks man, appreciated :)

[When Zombies Attack]

The game works fine, but its very simplistic and gets repetative rather quickly. I would recommend adding some kind of reward system, power-ups, and traps. The speed seems a bit sluggish as well

ShivaFang responds:

Thanks for the feedback - it had to be released before Halloween, so many intended features got cut :( Next year's remake will be much more interesting :)

[spaceship]

A very solid space shooter, reminiscent of old skool arcade games. This is an addictive work of art. Bravo!

Syruplord responds:

I'm glad to hear you got that vibe from it! I really have to give props to the artist and musician, they totally nailed the 8-bit old school feel for everything you see and hear in the game, which is just what we were going for. Thanks for playing :)

[Walkbot]

Nice concept. The game quickly gets frustrating, as some of the commands fail to work..Like the turn command. Also its unnecessary for the commands to be moving up and down. The game would be challenging enough if the commands were fixed in one spot.

myplayyard responds:

Thank you for the comment, we will consider changing the moving thing.

[:GIFT: Dress Up Meg!]

Nice. Some suggestions for you in the future:
Please take the time to polish some of your artwork. A dress up game only has visuals and music going for it..Therefore they should be really strong and well thought out. Most of these outfits have hanging lines that could have been cleaned up. And if you were aware an outfit didn't work, then why didn't you fix it and re-submit the game?? just a question. Overall, nice try. Looking forward to future submissions.

MaggieTheFox14 responds:

Sorry. @.@ But,I Literally Can't Fix Those Problems.The Program I Used Won't Let Me.

[Quiz Woody Quiz]

I got a score of 45...
Nice submission. Some suggestions I have:
Please provide some instructions for how to play the game. At the very least, provide instructions for how to move around. The music doesn't feel quite right.. Is it suppose to make me feel sad? I would also suggest adding some kind of penalty for choosing incorrectly, as you can pretty much just walk through everything until you choose the correct one.

dystralgame responds:

Others love music. It is an enchanted forest, and obsucre. Where each question is an enigma. If there is a wrong answer, you lose points (penalty). Otherwise, from experience, I know that people complain of punission more severe. Otherwise ... yes, you are in the dark forest puzzles. A little magic!

[Kill The Glove]

The glove never misses and the game is impossible.... The music is out of place, and the "glove" moves so quickly in the beginning you are guaranteed to die at least twice before figuring it out.

PoisonHeart responds:

The glove only misses as often as you don't avoid it. Jump straight up at the beginning. Appreciate the opinion on the music, and thanks for the review!

[Windows XP Errors 2]

I'm really not sure what to think.

I think everyone gets it now. You like to bash Windows XP for fun. Thats ok, but the jokes should at least be funny. Most of the error messages were completely random, and not even culturally relevant. some suggestions:

Funnier Jokes
Better graphics (i'm sure you can find some windows XP sprites somewhere that would look better)
better Music

I understand what you were trying to do. You may have hoped that the error message jokes would be hilarious...well they werent, so maybe its time to try something different? Maybe try bashing on Mac or on a celebrity.. Good luck.

TheMadWasp responds:

Yeah, I like Windows parodies (or any Operating System being "bashed")
The errors, I admit, were kinda random and made-up, I didn't have brilliant ideas.

I can do really realistic XP Icons, I have done before but and if you look at Windows RE you'll see those things.
I was thinking of doing a Mac parody , but I don't have a working mac error generator.
Thanks for the feedback.

[Artist's guide to the Gun]

nicely done

the funny thing is. im doing the concept art for a flash im working on right now. the main character is holding a crudely drawn gun, as ive little knowledge of gun mechanics to begin with. Then magically, theres a new flash in the portal titled "The Artist's Guide To The Gun". lol. perfect timing. youve given me the confidence to go back and work on the concept art, and maybe add a few suprises to the gun. This guide was very indept and easy to follow. Thanks alot for this! i owe ya.

StealthBeast responds:

Hm... "youve given me the confidence to ... add a few suprises to the gun."

You know what, that gets me thinking though. Might not have been a bad idea if I created an "accessories" section, teaching people how to trick out their guns with lasers, suppressors, handgrips, and the like.

I'd love to see your flash. If you feel so inclined, PM it me the link when it gets completed.

[Rat Exterminator]

i made it to level 3!

effing rats trying to take my effing cheese..ill blow there effing heads off..
sorry.. good game. i like the fact that the little shits ran from the gun shots..
you would think that a rat would think twice before going for a lump of cheese surrounded by rat blood and guts.....but then again. rats dont think.

good job!

urbanmonk responds:

Thanks for your comments. XD

YEah, rats are stupid! Don't even know why they haven't gone extinct!
That's why I made this game, to support the Humans VS. Rats effort.

Thanks for your support comrade!
