PJvG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[A small talk]

Great game!
I just wanted to ask.. how can an AI be afraid? And is there no other crew on the space ship?
Would love it if the dialogue of the AI can be expended some more..

[The Felix Jump]

This game is totally unrealistic.. which was really disappointing to me. It kindof killed the game.
I don't have the feeling I'm falling super fast.
And also, the obstacles couldn't be more wrong at certain heights.. propeller driven airplanes do not fly at 29000 meter height, the record is at 14301 meters, but usually do not fly higher than 2300 meter. The same is for helicopters, the record for a helicopter is 12442 meter height. The same mistake is with the birds which appear in your game at 21000 meter height, however, in reality they do not fly higher than 6000 meter.

[Human Apocalypse]

Yeah sure there are lots of zombie games, most of them where you play human. Not so many where you play zombie (but still a lot). So the concept maybe still has some novely value.. I dunno.
But even though you look green and the game says "you are the zombie", you are in fact playing the human once again. You shoot with a gun and the "humans" can only punch or slap you or whatever. It is not human behavior to gang around a single zombie! That is zombie behavior. Okay, maybe you did this to bring some humor in the game.. but it really doesn't do it for me. The game totally lost its believability.. As a zombie I want to bite humans, rip them apart or whatever, infect them so they become zombies too. And I expect humans to be smarter than go hug a zombie to death with all their friends..
Also, collisions are handled very poorly in my opinion.. but okay, you only had two days..

Zanzlanz responds:

I can't think of ways to incorporate a zombie as the main character into game play without it being "stupid." Give it a gun and surround it with dumb villagers and there you go :]

Nice story

Even though there are a couple ways to get to the good ending, I wish there were some more good endings.

I also wish the story was a bit longer. But overall it was entertaining.
The characters behaviour also seemed realistic, which is good.

I liked the bad ending with the explosion best. It was funny. ;)

Thanks for sharing this game with us!

[Escaped!]

Too easy

This game is too easy, I only lost three or four times and then I finished it. I escaped.

One tip for all the other players: when a zombie uses shield, try to find a chain of 3 that has a health bonus for you, that way your turn isn't entirely wasted.

There's one thing though that I don't understand, why are all the zombies black? Is this game supposed to be an excuse to shoot black people?

I also wish there was more story in the game, and I would like to see some animation in the characters, they look like boring stupid dolls who can't do anything. Maybe some special effects on the characters too instead of only effects on the health bars.

This game obviously still needs a lot of work.

meh

The puzzle concept has been used far too often by now. It doesn't really have anything different from the other games of this type. It's a bit boring too, though the learning curve is good enough I guess.
The music annoys me. The graphical design of the doors obviously don't fit in the icy world. The character design isn't anything special either.
The game doesn't motivate me at all to play to the end of it.

[Revert to Growth]

Nice game..

Graphics: 9/10
I really like the graphics, they are great! :D

Sound: 8/10
Sounds are good.

Music: 7/10
The music is fitting, but it get's a bit repetitive after a while. Thankfully there's a mute button, but the mute button also mutes the sound..

Gameplay: 9/10
The gameplay is very smooth. However, I don't find this game addicting.. I also found out a minor bug: when you grow a plant in front of a stone block and then try to push the block, against the plant I just grew, with another plant. Then the stone block first is pushed into the plant and then jumps either up or down.. also when I drop a stone block on my robot, I hear a simple thud as if the block falls on the ground, but it actually looks incredibly stupid that it has no effect on my robot and the block just simply lies on top of my robot's head.

Story: 4/10
There's not much of a story, now is there? I get that I have to fix that ship, but there really is no background info about who I am, where I came from, why I crashed on a planet? Well, I guess it doesn't really need a story to be played, but with a good story I'm more willing to get to the end of the game.

Overal: 7/10
I enjoyed playing it and it's always nice to have a level editor so I can create my own stuff. :)

AethosGames responds:

Thanks for the reveiw!

Not many puzzle games I know have a story, but I think I'll give you more info on the robot should I make a sequel.

[Zombie Riot]

fun

reminds me alot of Resident Evil..
