Narcissus's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[::CYBER UF2::]

Excellent game, needs refining

It is nice to see so many features used in this. I was stuck for a while trying to find out how you stored the variables until I came across the 'SharedObject.getLocal' script in the Flash resource. Very nice. I also like how you adjusted the volumes of each stereo channel to coincide with head movement. It is really nice seeing some fresh programming for new ideas. :)

Three drawbacks, though. First was the graphics. When optimising, I always weigh the rendering of vectors versus bitmaps and I feel the explosions, in particular, should have been bitmapped to reduce processing as well as size. I like to run most games full screen, so this is a big issue for me.

Second, the control menu needs a bit refining. Having to select a weapon at the beginning while the clock ticks did not settle well with me. Quick keys and/or starting the level with weapon in hand would be preferred. The time limits were short enough as is without having to fumble through the controls.

Finally, and I am sure plenty this has been covered, the game play could use some spice. Target practice alone gets a little stale after a short time. But this is an excellent start and I am sure others can take some of the ideas and build on them.

You would actually have people pay to play this?

This is totally pointless. There was a much better version than this made a while ago. This is basically a copy without as good graphics or gameplay.

Nice try, but I think this shows how bad the Net has gotten, trying to get people to pay for stuff that has always been free (and better quality).

Excellent

Very nice game. I liked both chapters very much.

You might want to make the 'password check' look more like a button, though. It wasn't obvious at first to click that instead of the 'go' button'. Otherwise, it's great!

A lot of work... very nice

An excellent game. Although it is a bit too easy to start then gets hard with the Brazilian guy. Also, it needs more blood and maybe even an option to bite the other guy's ears. ;-)

Great job!
