icarus's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dead Frontier Night Three]

WOW!

That was just awesome..the graphics were unbelieably good..it was almost like it wasnt made in flash it was that good.
The 'atmosphere' of the the game was spot on thanks to the shadowing, sounds etc.
Great work..and I hope you got paid sh*tloads for it XD

[Poker Patience]

Very original

Great, original concept, but it was just a little to mundane and thats probably why it didn't get the best score.
I really don't know how it could be improved..a highscore might help but the concept in its guessing nature makes it a bit limited..
I dunno, i'd definately like to see what you could do with poker patientce 2.
Nice work.

[Tetris: The Classic]

This looks familiar....

Now it WAS well made, so I give it a 5.
But I really don't have much respect for games that are carbon copies of other games that have been done again and again.
Try to put a unique spin if you must use a previous idea of someone elses.
Great graphics as well, I must say.
Now you may not agree with me but based on the quality of your game- the good programming and graphics, then compared to a score of 3.08..it speaks for itself, people like original games.
You have what it takes to make front page games, you just need to come up with your own ideas.

[Gimme Friction Baby]

Nice

I got a highscore of 7 :)
To start off with this is a great concept, very original which is something I admire alot. The facts, though, are that its slow placed and the gameplay can be frustrating, so from the word go you were never going to get a great score.
To game designers, like me, this game appears a lot better and its just the way it goes, I've experienced it myself, that if you don't have hentai or blood in your games it wont score that well. With that said, you got a 10 from jmtb02, so thats gotta say something.
Well done.

[Hangman Extreme!]

Nice

Only one thing I can fault..the difficulty, it would have been much more fun if it wasn't so hard and probabl would've gotten a better score in my opinion.

[Hotcorn]

Great

Very original game which is something I really admire.
The major drawback was that the game had an overall 'laggy' feeling which REALLY took away from the gameplay, maybe something to consider next time.
Besides that..awesomeness!

[- Rhythm Fireworks -]

Wow

I'm always amazed at how you can 'spit' these games out so quickly when syncing them to the music seems impossible to me (I've tried and failed with many games)
With most of your games I've found them too difficult to the point of frustration but this just nailed it. It was challenging but you didn't just die if you stuffed up once.
Great work, rock on dude.

[Hebi]

Wow

The phsyics of the player were just plain awesome, as a gaem designer i really enjoyed playing your game its so damn original, what I love to see so no wonder it got front page.
Only bad thing I think the actual gameplay let it down, it was a bit slow and repetative and didnt do the control system justice.
Well done mate.

[Jump by Neodelight]

I liked it

The concept was great, great feel to the game.
Gameplay though was a bit weak..a bit too slow and boring..needs more of an edge to it.
Thats just my opinion though!
Nice work.

[Music Control Tutorial]

Useful

Good-
A nice effort and a good concept to teach people about...I especially liked the screen grabs from flash they looked kool.

Bad-
A bit too long and drawn out...you need to make things simple and concise so that the tutorial is really easy for people to use

Overall, nice effort it deserved a decent score and it got it and thanks for sharing your knowledge
