[Newgrounds: Old to New]

Well I totally saw that coming.

Clicking on Angreh Face gives you the angreh face easter egg shocker, predictably. And of course, I turned my sound down ahead of time. I have to say, even for a "screamer", this is incredibly pathetic. You didn't even attempt to disguise the surprise, and the quality of the flash overall is so terrible, you know that it must be a screamer, since screamers only focus on the shock, never the buildup. And even the angreh face was terribly done.
If it were possible, I'd give you a -1/0.

UnknownFear responds:

Congratulations. You stated the obvious. You do Newgrounds proud.

[AA- Atom Pong]

It's not bad.

The Benny Hill theme in the background really fits the game. And the game itself is delightfully fast-paced and charming. My main concern is that, more times than I can count, either the computer or I missed the ball even though it seemed as though the paddle made direct contact. You may want to look into that.

LegolasFIN responds:

Its because the pad have to be squared, and if i would put pineapple smaller, he would be too small! and soviet is circle so hes harder to fit

[drums of war (rock out)]

The controls stopped responding...

partway into level 1. I think you need to take a look into it. Otherwise, a good game overall, but the glitch takes it below the blam threshold. Just resubmit it when you find and fix the glitch, k? Also, the Q key is not ideal to use in tandem with the ASD buttons, especially when As and Qs come at about the same time. Maybe switch it to ASDF?

brokenjoe responds:

I don't think that's a glitch with the game. I'm not sure what the ideal situation is for controls and I doubt you do. Everyone complains about controls in every game. It works fine though. It really shouldn't be blammed for some weird glitch that only you're getting. I think what happened was that you clicked outside of the game and thus typing into nothing.

[Rhythm Explosion]

Good concept. One suggestion.

The cursor's size is incredibly distracting, and lowers my accuracy overall, because I can't focus on the little red crosshair only. If you could just get rid of everything except the red part of the cursor, that would help make it easier to be accurate with clicking.

Johnny responds:

Will definitely take that into consideration for a sequel. Thanks!

[BEAT: Ska Gen]

Drums could use some tweaking.

They don't synch up very well with the other instruments. Other than that, a solid submission.

Perry responds:

yeah some of the instruments are great cuz my musician doesnt play all of them as much as the guitar

[The Nameless Ball Game]

Damn, this is tough.

But it's a good game, and especially impressive seeing as its your first real game. An innovative concept, but could be better with sound and spruced up graphics. Also, a reset button would be nice, in case players are too impatient waiting for the level to reset itself. Looking forward to your next.

Hexedian responds:

Thanks for the comment; both the in-game instructions and the game description will tell you that the space bar resets the level.

[RockStar Riffs]

It's a bad idea...

...to make the cursor invisible while inside the window. I'm moving as vertically as I can, but I really can't help making some horizontal movement. So when the cursor goes too far left or right (and you can't tell, because the cursor is invisible), it leaves the window, and easily messes me up when otherwise I'm doing quite well. Anyway, I think the cursor should remain visible at all times so that players know to adjust their mice to keep from messing up gameplay.
Nevertheless, I managed to beat it, and it was an overall amusing game, but I would have liked it a little more if it weren't for this one thing.

GazSmithGames responds:

Thank you and i must admit i noticed this to, but this is the one little bug type thing that i noticed and i thought to myself, "would this game be better with a cursor? or worse?" I beleave that it would be less fun with a cursor and more like a 'mouse collector' if you must.

Thanks for the review.

[Mouse run]

Instinct to click.

That doesn't translate to instinct to cheat. Some objects are activated by clicking (like the 'Start' and 'Back' buttons), while others are rollover (The green dot to start the maze, which in my defense looks like a button). Many a time I was sent to the beginning of the game because I instinctually clicked on the green dot.
I think this game would be a little better if all interactive objects were used in the same way (i.e. ALL clickable or ALL rollover). Consistency in control is more vital to games than you may expect.

CrossdresserInPink responds:

I've changed it so now to start the maze or level you click the button and also now if you click you won't be sent back.

At least you shouldn't.

[Ham Eater]

Three things.

1.) Scoring Mechanism.
2.) High Score Table.
3.) Longer Sound Loop.

And you will have a perfect timewaster game.

Ansel responds:

high score table? Yeah, like anyone will ever play this once it leaves the portal :D
