MachShot's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Defense Force]

Amazing looking Car: but with no Tires.

I know, heavy guns have a bit of a recoil to them. But the idea of a cross-hair actually getting in the way of knowing where the real cross-hair: a tiny transparent dot is is innovative in that no one was dumb enough to think of that before.

And even that wouldn't be so bad if the recoil was as if a child was shooting from the him with an assault rifles. Machine guns of this mid 20th century era had recoil and spread, but the mounted state prevented ridiculous spread where rounds would hit 30 degrees away from where the cross-hairs would imply

You actually have no Idea how good this game would be if you would simply replace that grey dot with the bigger crosshair, eliminated the original bigger cross-hair, and made the spread MUCH smaller.

AlmightyHans responds:

i mentioned many times to swap the transparent circle over your mouse for the cross hair. that way your mouse is less noticed than the actual place where the bullets are hitting. he liked that one better

[Seven's Second Adventure]

This counts as a game?

So after holding left for 4 minutes, I get to a pick, hold right for 4 minutes, and nothing in the instructions tell me how I'm supposed to give it up. Even if it worked, the concept of the game is just to look nice and donate to Child's Play. It's a nice cause, but a crappy game for a good cause is still a crappy game.

It barely constitutes as game play, there is no enjoyment value in this game. You would be better off just recreating Pong and use the add revenue from that to help.

Sure it has a cool look to it, but what makes a game is the "gaming" part, which this lacks almost entirely.

you spelled ad wrong

I'm sorry

I'm sorry but designing a platforming game to be the hardest platforming game ever makes as much damn sense as trying to make the hardest rock music by filling the song with thousands of shrilling guitars, or making the most "gangsta" rap song, by making it say bitch and ho over 9000 times.

I like the retro look yes, but a game is supposed to be fun. Now by some string of logic dieing hundreds of times against crabs, and the screwy jumping physics (since when does faster = higher?) may seem fun to some (not enough, based on the rating of this game) but seriously, I can experience the same sensation of fun with any XBox game by playing with my feet.

Do I like retro gaming? Yes. Do i like platformers? Yes. Do i like a chalenge? Yes. Do i want to die 50 times by jumping on a crab that somehow kills me anyway for jumping on its head? Oh sure that sounds lovely.

You guys have talent, but i would barely call this a game. If i were to compare this to conventional art, you made a beautiful painting but hid it behind layers of shower glass to "Make it the hardest painting to see, ever".

PiGPEN responds:

(faster = higher since physics)
