icarus's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[.:Coin Collector:.]

Not good

I realize you've put some effort into the game but I'm not American so how do you expect me to know what each letter stands for? Some more detailed instructions would help or even just using the coins as labels instead.
So besides the fact that I couldn't play the game the concept was far too simple regardless and isn't anything to new or exciting.
Sorry, just telling it like it is.

Wow

You are genius. Who could have thought cursors could be this fun. Extremely good choice of music also.
Well done, deservingly daily first.

[Bloop]

Nicely done

As a fellow game designer I was really impressed with the quality of the game...graphics were top notch. I think the idea is fairly limited though and hampered your score.....the very fact that people have to scan all over their keyboard decreases the gameplay a fair bit, and despite the fact that the graphics are great a great score will only come with better gameplay...but none the less I'd be interested to see number 2.

Thanks man. And yes, I think I will work on a second. You have just inspired me completely.

Nice game

Graphics are awesome, programming is awesome everything is great except the difficulty. I know I've reviewed another one of your games before saying it's too hard but I really do think it's something you should consider because a lot of people are saying they suck at it and when people get frustrated they don't vote all that well.
Like I said, I like the game, you guys are very skilled but I really do think you should make it easier.

Well...

Nice game, but...do you want to know why it got such a crap score?
It's too damn hard!
Honestly...have you tried playing this yourself....as soon as they all start shooting it's just luck....theres no way (unless you are supremely skilled) to even guess where the beams are going to come from.
I really like the whole idea and your graphics and animation are top notch but difficulty is something you really need to consider...it can make or break a game..in this case it broke it.

Every author of a game undoubtfully tests their own creation thousands of times. I myself have beat it a lot, and thus made this one a bit more challenging for those thinking music stomp was too simple.

Nice

This game has been done before, but to your credit you managed to put your own twist on it with the balls bouncing off each other and introducing each ball, not only that, the whole game had a great feel to it with the smooth graphics and the sound..really well executed.

[Candy Cane Crisis]

Nicely done

I really enjoyed this game. People will probably disagree with me but I don't think the game play was all that great, however, you managed to capture the christmas feel perfectly...I honestly felt like I was 5 years old at Christmas playing this- the music, art and everything about it worked together really well.
Great job.

[redot2]

Well...

Programmed well and graphics were pretty good but that was one of the most un-original games I have ever played....the only thing you changed is the cursor and the fact that you have to click the goal...that was about it.
C'mon...you have to agree with me..this has been done to death and you really didn't put much of a spin on it.

[Gravity Pinball Challenge]

hmmm...

My, this looks familiar...almost like ball revamped..but alot worse!!
Don't copy peoples games!!!!
If your going to use someone elses idea don't just water it down to make it look like its different....people still know!

[Blang]

How am I suposed to review this?

You can't just expect people to know how to play your game.
Let me tell you a story-
There are these magical things in a land far far away, they are called rules, they help people to know how to play games, but one day there was a game called blang, it decided to not to use the rules and everyone got really annoyed and left bad reviews for the game.
THE END!

ReduxGames responds:

OK, I've put the instructions in.
Just start any game and you'll see them
