BenwaHakubi's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ultimate Waterfalls]

Good idea but its laggy. It takes a long time for the particles to move. If I choose to look at another window while waiting for the places to fill it pauses itself. If this game was more speedy I would rate it higher. I just kinda get bored waiting once I get the solution. If you sped that up this game would be much better.

MoonMana responds:

Don't use google chrome

[Drop Fall]

This game was fun, kind of reminded me or a sonic vs knuckles old school game. The controls are extremely unresponsive. I can barely move before I get pushed off the arena.

LuKaSX responds:

Well, I made the outside of the arena the same of the arena, except by the jump, but I get what you said, better controls responses, I will see what I can do, thanks for the comment!

[King Dugan's Dungeon ep.1]

This looks fun too bad I cannot walk properly. I tried to walk and the 8 directional system does not work correctly. The arrow keys work fine but I cannot walk diagonally through the rocks blocking the first path, thus depriving me of getting to actually play the game.

Skellus responds:

Did you read what the instructional character says right at the beginning? You can move using Numpad and an alternate, notebook numpad (789uijkl)

[Creeper World: User Space]

This game was great. Until level 4 came along. It is just way to frustrating. I tried everything I could think of to beat it and ether overbuild and save the humans and then get killed myself or be well armed but the humans don't get saved. I tried collecting the points even. I spent at least an hour on it and it was like a slap in the face to anyone trying to enjoy the game and play the other levels.

KnuckleCracker responds:

There are numerous youtube videos your might find helpful on every mission in the game. You can also consult the forums at knucklecracker.com. Other players often offer advice on various levels. Btw, this game only has three levels (4 missions per level), not sure which mission you are talking about.

[Cards Wars: TBS]

Fun but frustrating. I like it, the game is very addicting. It is very slow to play (perhaps a skip button would be nice) it also is annoying if you keep getting attacked repeatedly by all the comp players. This game would be more fun if the NPC's didn't swarm me.

GeneralVimes responds:

Thank you. To speed-up the game, please, adjust the Animation speed and the Quick AI moves in the Settings (top-right corner of the screen).

And not only the human player, but any player, who grows too strong, will face the attacks of all the other computer players. So, pehaps, good strategy will be to wait for a right moment to expand.

[Zelda the Welder]

I love the concept of a welding game. I just don't find this well executed.

I am not going to get super nit-picky because the concept is good and I did enjoy it but the frustration level made it not as fun as I thought it would be. I weld in real life so some things about this bug me. Mainly the fact that the welds restart if you move the slightest bit wrong. Once you lay down weld you should be able to pick up where you broke the arc. Also sometimes the "hit area" for the lines is way too small. Also it is very annoying to have the clock going while I am reading or clicking out of the instructions.

I think that if this game were made without this tediousness, and was maybe added some extra touches it would feel more like a welding game than a mouse avoidal game. (like perhaps an acetylene cutting torch with a flame, a motion for striking the arc ect) Overall I liked it though.

MonoFlauta responds:

Oh well, about the restart, is the point of the gameplay actually, the weld is just an excuse to make it like it. About the instructions, you have enough time in that ones to make it anyway, you can restart and play it again :)

Nice you loved the welding concept :)

Thanks for the review!

[N3rd Boy]

Too many problems for me to get into. The game almost freezes my computer (I think it might be a glitch, other games with the same amount of MB work just fine and it messes up on both chrome and firefox) and I get all this white text covering half the screen so I can barely see my guy. I am not sure if that is a glitch or part of the game but eather way these issues render this game unplayable for me.

knarrenheinz responds:

Sry man, I have no idea about what the cause of this could be. Did you update to the latest flash player and Firefox/Chrome versions? Maybe trying it on another machine?

[Staff Sumo Smackdown!]

Kinda fun

I liked that ring outs were not automatic deaths and that you culd be your fav ng staff. MindChamber was badass. I think the biggest drawback was lack of variety in terms of gameplay. Mabey add some other attacks or a defense/HP stat.

thinking-man responds:

Yeah, but time constraints...
