blanchon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fleeing the Complex]

Oh boy ! This episode was up to my expectations, way better even ! Apart from Ellie's voice not being too convincing, the fact that you can click on the map when it's under the medal screen and I had at least one medal seemingly not working (bruUHGHNO), all the jokes that are in there are just perfect.

PuffballsUnited responds:

I'm glad it was better than you expected. Also the medal is not broken, you're not completing it.

[NG: Zero Hour Demo]

The project is looking good so far, but I expect harder boss fights in the future, once you know what to do, you can just take litteraly no damage whatsoever.

Also, being able to change direction while dashing is rather wierd, especially when it forces you to go where you're looking when not holding any direction button down.

TwinBlazar responds:

Thank you for your review!

> I expect harder boss fights in the future
We will have harder boss fights in later stages.

> Also, being able to change direction while dashing is rather wierd
The reason for this will be reviewed in the later stages of the game. :)

In case you didn't know, we have just changed the control to keyboard+mouse. Mind give it a whirl and PM me what do you think? :)

[Rot]

Not too bad of a game, but I've had a few problems with it ...

the game feels horrible, in top down shooters like this one it matters alot, the complete lack of animations apart from particles makes this game feel kinda bland, not to mention the weapon changing -which poses the game- is breaking the little action this game has.

The way melee works is not explained anywhere AND is glitched : there's a cooldown only for hitting the same zombie, if you find yourself stuck between two zombies just tap left and right and they should be dead in no time !

Speaking of glitch, this one is of the unconvenient type, I once started a level between 2 bosses, which got me stuck and instakilled.

Apart from that, money balance is mediocre at best, some weapon upgrades barely changing anything to the weapon and some useful one increased by a ridiculous amount !

So yeah, even if I apreciate the ZQSD option, there is still ALOT lacking to make this a good game, unfortunately.

Squize responds:

That's a really awesome well written review mate, I don't agree with all of it but there are some excellent points in there, thank you.

[Kick The Critter]

Another tossing game and a good one at it ! With it's own original mecanics and the "classics" (like Burrito Bison's "smash" when you go out of scren). I love the way you break the monotony of tossing games with fun and short minigames (even though the pause button gets in the way)

I managed to ... "break" the score counter in "the floor is lava" game; my computer being so bad (I can't even play Hearthstone ...!) this game is so slow on high quality I managed to score 1004100 points ! (yes, I have no life ...) and the last "0" in the score was not showing up ! (I expected the score to go over the actual frame it was in ... but your work is of quality, I respect that)

Also, my computer "slowliness" allows me to have quite the graphic glitch : some batties are green (I guess that's normal) but they have random objects popping on them sometime for a split second (mohawks, helmets, they sometimes turn purple as well,...), but hey, that doesn't prevent me from enjoying the PHOQUE out of it !

BerzerkStudio responds:

Haha! Thanks for the feedback man ! Really appreciated :)

[DOTMAN]

OUCH ! It hurts my brainz ! D:

By the way, for all the people with AZERTY keyboards using Windows, there are a few tricks that should help you having decent controls (it helped me alot, but the game is still as hard ...!). Just need to press Alt+Shift, that should do it !

If not, there should be a small button on the ... I guess it's called the "task bar" ? (the thing on the bottom of the screen) Anyway, there should be a small button down there next to the clock saying what language your keyboard is curently using (FR for instance), click on it and then click on English (USA) or something like that, then click back on the game. VOILA ! Justcheck the button again to see if it did not turn back to the previous language ...!

If none of these option works, I think you'll need to open the settings window and then look for the language settings then you should click on the language tab and change something like "input language", from there, you should be able to change what languages your compute uses. I'm quite unsure 'bout this, but should help !

Cheers ! :D

hicham responds:

Hey man , Thanks! This is going to be really useful for the Azerty users :).

[Guradamajack!]

Ireally enjoyed the game overall, but I think that there should be a grab button next to the arrow keys, since the game requires both keyboard and mouse and since I can't use WASD because I have a AZERTY (french) keyboard, I have no choice but to use the arrow keys...

Oh, and that's a dirty move to make the 8 looking like a 0 ...

Guy-Unger responds:

yea youre totally right, but im not going to change it cause it would destroy the jamminez

[Don't Escape]

Well, this game is a good surprise, the very first point'n'click in wich you have NOT to escape ...!

The game itself is really good, but finding both that chain and the place were the "handful hot of dust" was, was trully hard, by th way, Why ain't the werewolf trying to eat meat he has on himself ?

Anyway, the ending thing was great, I wonder why sometime the beast tries to break thruogh the door and sometime tries through the window ...?

Overall, the game was entertaining, but somehow abit too short, the game was beaten without walkthrough and all by myself in 20 minutes ...

scriptwelder responds:

Werewolf chooses door or window depending on which one is weaker. If both are equal, werewolf chooses the door :)

[Zombies Everywhere!]

This flash is quite fun, the music fits well to the messy ambient of the game, However, it can easily be improved with better quality graphics, better controls and also more content (different guns, more maps, upgrades and stuff ...)

FylypFimpossible responds:

So wait form Zombies Everywhere 2! ;)

[Infiltrating the Airship]

Yes, YEAAASH ! Fuckin' love that one ! Especially the load of video games references you got into that one ! :P

PuffballsUnited responds:

I'm glad!

[Outpost:Swarm]

I really loved Outpost : Haven, and now, you finally have a teammate !

But actually, I have a problem : Pressing the A button (ZQSD keyboard, do the same for me when playing on WASD mode and pressing Q) do not allow me to change weapon.
The weapon selection menu do show up, but immediatly disappear, just hope you can fix it ...!

Squize responds:

Hey,
We actually designed it that way, someone suggested it for the original Outpost ( I think it was someone here ) and we really liked the idea, the whole toggle thing for the weapon select slowed the gameplay down a little bit too much, it was like another pause mode.
So hold down Q, select your weapon, and let it go. It may take some getting used to, but it does feel better in the longer run.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review, and play the game.
