Coop's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stop the pollution!]

A great little game

Well, this is a nice, addictive little number which is a great take on Space Invaders. With a few notable exceptions, this is a pretty decent parody of the 80s classic.

The aliens always used to change, the further you got into the game, each wave was different and the newer aliens worth more points. A little more thinking could give more variation, as I found it quite repetitive after the first wave.

The miscelaneous alien craft that flew overhead occasionally dropped neat little packages for use, like shields, temporary weapon upgrades etc. Maybe that would help, as well as making the turd worth random amounts of points.

Perhaps change the background, so you fight in different areas - remember, planet Earthwas not invaded solely in the state of Utah :P

With these taken into account, I think you've done a good job. A few more hours spent on this one and I'd say it was front page material.

The next game I do will have more variety. This was made just for fun.
Hopefully I'll make something better next time!

[Smithys Quest]

A little short

Although this was a good flash game, I just fopund the plot way too linear and a little on the boring side. I've played games like Frank's adventure before, which this resembles in a few ways. This plot relied on getting one item to get another in straight sequence, not allowing you to go off and get other items in between.

Still, it's been well designed and put together, with all of the pieces working nicely in the end - did I hear the chime of Windows Live Messenger over one of the music tracks? If so, that's not very professional, ask your friends to fuck off for a bit when recording :P

Are you planning on sequels? This game did look as if it was only planned for the one shot stage, but I'm sure if you put your mind to it,. you can come up with more plot for Smithy and further (better) quests.

If enough people like the game then I will make a number 2 for sure, with heaps of improvements. Such as some things you said - Using your own items and not in sequence.

Sorry for the MSN noise,the MIDI too MP3 converter wasn't so good, and the trial ran out now.

[Jellyfish]

Really well though out

This is a great little game. I'm quite impressed with all of this. The animations before the game starts are awesome and I knew I was looking at something special from then on.

I do have one major problem with the game - whenever you click on the "next level" button, the jelleyfish starts at the top centre of the screen and immediately rushes towards the cursor position, catching all sorts of bad stuff on the way.

Still, if you take care of that little problem, you've got an award winning great little game.

[Unique Universe]

Gets old fast

Maybe using the mouse to control the light would have been easier. I played this game for a few minutes and found myself getting bored quickly - the recipie for a good game includes addictiveness.

I'm not a fan of typing games, as I do enough of that already. Are you going to try and give us more games? If so, please can you try and give us something other than a move the searchlight game.

Thanks for the review. I just tried this unique idea to see how it works. I am going to make more games in the future and I have alot of different ideas for them so I don't think I will make another one like this.

[Ed's treasure]

Difficult, but enjoyable

This game took me quite a while to get the hang of - the fact that you have to use two different controls independantly is wierd. I was moving the mouse and the light wasn't moving, then I was moving the keyboard for the fish and so forth.

Perhaps it would have been better using the mouse for the light and the keyboard for the fish?

Still, you've got good graphics here and a great concept for a game. Good all round job, I look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Thanks for the review. The controls were separate to make it difficult and maybe if the controls were swapped around, it could have worked but I just did it this way. Maybe, I might test the opposite controls to see how it plays.
