The-Swain's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Punk-o-matic 2]

YES

Incredible. And it's been a long time coming, too.

BRAVO. I plan to spend the weekend on this.

Evil-Dog responds:

Means a lot coming from you :)

[The Unfair Platformer]

A good run.

I only wish for more frequent checkpoints - otherwise, it had nearly the same exact feeling as the Impossible Quiz, where trial and error are your only weapons. It was funny but I didn't have the patience to make it past the first level (again, because more frequent checkpoints were needed, I thought).

EggysGames responds:

The famous swain :O well trial and error are basically the meaning of unfai hehe.

Thanks!

[Agent Scarecrow #1]

Thought it deserved its Front Page.

Good mood, very Max Payne noir. I didn't care for much of the voice acting EXCEPT for the main character, which fit somehow.

My only suggestion is to have a skip feature in the intro cinema. Because you've got subtitles (I think I remember them there?), viewers might read more quickly than the narrator and thus be left twiddling their thumbs until the next screen change. At least a skip-to-next-line-of-monologue button would be glorious.

All in all, it set a good mood!

Johnnybdesign responds:

Thanks... I've heard good things about Max Payne. I have to try it someday. The screenshots look great!

Thanks again for the comments.

[Blockhead Soundboard]

Sweet victory

I'm used to hearing the sounds at peak quality on my own machine, but I know it's not your fault that I reduced the quality for the episodes I've released. I thought it was pretty conclusive, although I see that Blockhead, who has a problem with answering questions, never really says "yes" or "no" that much, huh? Those are the bread and butter of most sound boards, it seems, and it took your flash to remind me of that.

Lemme know if you plan to expand the board in the future :D I might have a sound or two for you.

-Swain

wizardman responds:

Indeed, Blockhead's not much of a yes or no guy. WEll, you at least seem to know your soundboards, so that's good. I probably will expand this board in the future. If there's enough episodes I'll contemplate making a second version, though I'm not sure if that'd bea good idea or not.
Hey, you just reviewing my flash makes me feel that this has been successful, so I'll take it.
