Poopsmith890's game Reviews on Newgrounds

Great potential game, but sort of a dissapointment

The thing I really admire about this game is the way that almost everything fits together so well. The soundtrack is very suiting and the SFX aren't invading, overly loud or unnecessary. The art style also falls in with this cool jigsaw puzzle quite well.
The only things that I find are making the game a bit less enjoyable are the game mechanics as a whole. The smooth turning animation is pretty, but elongated to such a degree it's almost invasive, considering a small chunk of beating this game effectively requires you to be very quick and agile in order to get from platform to platform efficiently. I would suggest tweaking the inclusion of the turning animation to either moving half of it into the opening sequence of your character running, or probably on a much more easy and necessary level just cutting the animation duration in two.
Sometimes the controls seem clunky as well, when you're trying to zip past baddies and up ladders, jumping at the right times and grabbing fruits the control issues sometimes unveil themselves. When I say clunky, I mainly mean occasionally it's hard to distinguish jumping height and distance as opposed to the walking speed, if you can make some sense of that. In a game like this, in my opinion, you have to nail the control scheme into the ground really effectively because majority of the finesse of playing this game is from.
This game is a really great idea, and don't get me wrong I do understand the game is in it's lightweight flash form but my position still stands as this has a lot it can become. Nevertheless I'm extremely pleased with the overall look and presentation of the game and the coordination you've implemented between all the features is admirable.

codergames responds:

Thanks! I wanted to make character turning around realistically. You can jump, either in place, left or right, even if you haven't turned fully. You move faster if you keep jumping, etc. The PC version will have much more puzzle elements, some levels would depend on you jumping of off the villagers.

In any case all the features and controls are made deliberately like so to make everything seem more "realistic".

Haha!

This is awe inspiring! Playing this was a constant adrenaline rush, and definitely preferable to it's predecessor. Usually it's difficult to come up with a decent sequel to a revolutionary way of button bashing we like to refer to as a game.
Including little subtle jokes in the process of annihilating your keyboard gives the game an awesome layer of substance, and the constant chaos and sound effects flying around the screen make the gameplay feel as if it's concrete and not hollow, making it a constant party. Having medals in this game also helps it's reward ontop of the feeling of smashing down on a huge boat holding a bunch of guys-- I know it was in the last game, but I thought as though it still counts.
Not only is this a flawless sequel to it's predecessor, it's based in Sydney! Meaning that passive instinct as a Victorian (state south of New south whales) of disliking everyone from Sydney is fulfilled when the game lets me eat, crush, and nuke Sydney!

Amazing game, so much detail and depth and.. and... yeah.. It makes me sad that you haven't yet been elevated above humanity with the release of this game, as far as I'm concerned, this needs to go console! :D

Good shit man. Full marks. Goodluck following this act with a sequel-- seriously, it'll be bloody hard.

Wiesi responds:

Thanks a lot man! Awesome review!

ARGH!

THAT WAS GREAT!
But you dont expect anyone to actually finish it do you? Cause its bloody hard!

But its a great game, with good music.
So i like it!

MADSOFT responds:

lol, I'm capable of finishing it, and getting both trophies, so are a bunch of my friends, so I'm pretty sure you can do it if you try really hard, and a lot =P
Thanks for the review~
