Demeanor-Ice-Creamer's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[How Far Can You Go? 2.0]

While the game is obviously simple, I'm going to give it 4 stars because you've got a nice layout, there are no glitches that I've stumbled upon, the music is in balance and it's challenging, but not to the point of nerd rage. I like the 'ice' physics and the fact that there's no pause inbetween levels, because then it would be too easy, right?

Thanks for your review! Thank you for your nice words! :) You've made my day. Enjoy playing!

[Anika's Odyssey]

Brilliant!

Inspired by New Zealand?

I gotta go there!

[Alice is Dead - Ep 3]

Massively disappointing.

A real shame.

This third installment lacked the eerie atmosphere of the first two, the simple complexity of the formers puzzles and it failed to inspire with what little story it offered.

As with the others, the audio was excellent, only falling short with Ann's voice, and possibly the tramps, not tying in well enough to the sombre tone that was provided from the other, more impressive, voices.

Now let's be reasonable, no matter how long it took you, there really is no excuse to make the grand, final installment as short and vague as it is. You didn't even capitalize on the Cheshire Cat idea. There were too many parts which served no purpose, or persona's that didn't make an appearance, of which the other two Alice is Dead games led you to believe would.

Let's be honest, a game which in it's entirety can be summed up by:
'Get a brick and use it, get a pipe and use it, move a toilet, pick up a gift which you don't use and watch 3 videos of shallow plot development, all the while wandering aimlessly between screens to activate game triggers for the aforementioned videos and gift to "pop up".' doesn't make for exhilarating gameplay.

And really... who would have a sign on the entrance to their secret lab saying 'SECRET LAB'? :)

The ending did not stir me up even with it's thought-provoking quotation.

I'm really sorry. Others may have found this good. I, however, did not.

I sometimes watch these videos of a guy on Youtube who plays with dolls. Every day he uploads at least 4 videos. I suppose 4 is kind of a small estimate, it's probably more like 5 or 6.

I'm not sure why I watch them. They kind of fascinate me. He has these little stories for them, and the stories themselves don't really make sense either. Sometimes the dolls battle a scorpion action figures, other days they battle even BIGGER dolls. He's a real nice guy though.

I guess my point is

[ImmorTall]

An inspiring idea.

A brilliant idea, original in the fact that you wonder why someone hasn't done this before.

Great potential. A few pointers, however;

I feel the father and mother readily accepted the alien far too quickly. Perhaps the children should try to convince them that it means no harm.

Also, as the person below me has said, the transition between the farmland and the warzone happens so quickly and suddenly, with the inclusion of the army trying to kill the people, (whether due to the army being an invading force, or the army mistaking the farmers for alien associates), that it leaves little room for enjoying the actual transition.

Why does it have to be so sad!?

It's easy to damn the humans for always reacting to the unknown with violence, but in the same position, would we not act in the same way?

[Civilizations Wars]

Absolutely brilliant!

An amazing idea, and it's really well executed.

My only gripe is that it doesn't actually tell you what the spells do, you have to figure it out for yourself. (From what I can see anyway.)

This is the only game on NG where I want to complete it and play it again. The replay value is astounding!

DIC

[The Scale of the Universe]

Great.

I'm going to pretend I knew what you were talking about.

This is great. Now, imagine the very same scrolling program with photos, (where possible), rather than drawings.

I can tell the amount of work in positioning went into this.

[Toss the Turtle]

Addictive

Over 4 million feet, all medals and 99 nukes. Could have gone further, but it get's boring soon enough and you just want to blast the turtle all over again! Poor fella.

Really good game you have here!

DIC

[Gretel and Hansel]

ARGH!!!

Damned spider! Damn you for making me want to complete this game so much and having to deal with that massive spider dropping in on the screen!

Great game, really cute but very removed from reality.

Eerie.
