M8studios's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Miami Shark]

Oh yeah!

Really cool game, I love the fact that you can't die, it's really funny and entertaining :)

[Windows Doors]

Cool

It's pretty impressive how you managed to make it look like windows and be interactive and all! However, I don't feel it's very entertaining, it kinda feels like you're actually using windows, which is pretty boring as it is! But I can see that it has been a lot of effort and you have some good Flash skills!

To fix the problem where the preloader won't appear right away, you must set your movie in Flash to export classes on the second frame, instead of on the first frame (which is the default). To do this, go to File > Publish Settings > Flash tab, then change the number "1" to "2" where it says "Export something..." not sure about the wording though!

[Fig. 8]

Good idea

It's a really good idea, I like the graphics and the way you steer the bike, with the lines and all, however, I hate that the screen scrolls on its own, so if you start going in a straight line at one point at the bottom, there is a black line preventing you from going upwards, so you keep going between the edge of the screen and the black line a the bottom, and the screen starts scrolling UPWARDS all of a sudden, so basically your bike ends up at the outside of the screen, and you can't see it, impossible to do anything from there! A good idea would be to scroll only when the bike starts approaching the edge of the screen, or to always scroll in a way to keep the bike in the middle, like in many other games that scroll... There is no point in speeding up or slowing down since either way you end up going slower or faster than the scrolling screen, you end up at the outside of the screen...

[Pixel Grower]

Good

Good concept and it was interesting in the beginning, however, very soon the pixels get so small and so fast and so many that you just wave the mouse around randomly and wait for game over. There is no skill involved. It would be better to make something similar to tetris, but only with bigger pixels (like the first level) and make you have to stack them in a specific way (to get the highest height possible) etc... but without the pixels getting smaller each time. Maybe faster. But try something strategic that involves more thinking, not just random mouseing around. Ya get what I mean.

[Monster Maker]

Haha

I love the sound effects, it's all so stupid, and well animated as always :D

TheBoogley responds:

Wow, I didn't think anyone would ever watch this one again, thanks! :)

[Free Will - The Game]

Okay

It's nice, the pun at the end is all right. The graphics are nice as well as the music. I like the simplicity of the controls, the level is well designed. However, there's only one level. And okay I understand that the whole thing is about the play on words with Free Will haha, but I would have liked to play a LOT more than just ONE level. I just saw that other featured Flash, that pink man thing, similar graphics and similarly very SHORT. Is this some new trend? You could have made like 5 of these levels come on. It was probably a big effort to design the engine and the characters and all that, why not put a little bit more effort into it and make it way more fun!

Also, having to reload the page to replay is stupid and annoying.

What I say: Keep this, add like 5 levels, add LIVES that actually work, like in every game, if you die, you can continue approximately from where you left off 3 times or so. Maybe make new enemies or add weapons but you don't even have to. Making such a detailed short game is a waste of code!

[Gravitex 2]

Really nice game!

I really like the design and the physics of the game! Sure there have been games like this before, but it's still a great game! With other similar games I found it very hard to get to the finish, while with this one I can understand the whole thing a lot easier. It's not obvious how the gravity is going to add up and attract the ball, so I'd give up after a few tries normally, but with this game I seem to get it right after 1 or 2 tries! So the whole difficulty is well balanced and all!

[OCD+]

Quite lame

Why would I want to hold on to the letter K for one hour just to get a 50x50 pixel image of a lock turn from almost black and white into color? (This also applies to all the other "games" included in this Flash.)

If I would get money for it or something useful, I might do it... It's not fun playing it and there's no reward!

[Little Wheel]

Wow!

I don't know how you did such amazing 3D graphics in Flash, I didn't know Flash did 3D! Anyway, Beautiful graphics and wonderful effects!
The only thing that bothered me a bit (but it was probably intentional) is that it's not really a game, you just have to press the buttons that are circled and it'll just play on each time, you don't really have to think (except at the part where you had to align the 3 rotating wire things), so it's kinda like watching a movie that pauses itself from time to time, and you just have to press Play to watch the rest! Like an interactive movie.

[Flash-DooM 2D]

Potential

The game has potential, I like the look and feel. However, I get a bug very often where my character will just keep going left or right and I have no control over it for about 30 seconds (just enough for an enemy to kill me). This bug is annoying enough for me to stop playing.
