Kyuuen's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[PICOLLAGE2020]

Holy shit! This is the first one of these I've seen!

[Road of the Dead]

The Most Immersive Game On Newgrounds

Truly as unique and heartpoundng as one can get with the zombie genre.

It really ascends the normal flash games that I've seen in years past, from the 3D-like gameplay, to the characterization of the voices (especially the General), and most of all the absolute carnage and sense of 'do or die' that this game successfully conveys.

Bring us a sequel. Or find a way to polish it up and put it on the downloadable market.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU - for helping prove that Newgrounds still kicks ass, and WILL continue to kick ass for many years to come with more great games like these. I'll be looking forward to your next groundbreaking game.

[Free Will - The Game]

Interesting.

I must be stupid since I had to think about it to get it.

You only have free will until you die. Then the only thing left after that is memory.

However, I'm going to slash a point off for not including a another ending for choosing not to do anything at all. That's another choice for those of us who have free will. We're not jumping those platforms if we don't wanna.

[Doom Triple Pack]

Congratulations, you get the cigar! But WAIT..

Alchemy is hot. 10's all around for everyone that was able to make this. I've done some C++ in school, and I know that writing a full blown program is huge undertaking. I imagine the conversion takes some work, and also ironing out the bugs and quirks to make a smooth result like this one.

You get a 10 for being the groundbreaker.

BUT, I also see a bad road where this could be heading. Being able to play Doom on Flash is awesome, but this site should be about USER generated content. Original games, original movies. This day, you get the 10. But as soon as I start seeing rips of old games in flash stacking the top 10, I'm going to start busting out some nice fat 0's. Even if it is a shareware game.

I'm nobody to suggest such a thing, but I don't think it would be good for the site. By all means, put it on your own site, and I'll play those games for hours. I just don't want to see company produced properties dominating efforts by the normal flash artist.

[Pandemic II]

Better - but not the definitive version yet..

A great game, and the best - if most harrowing concept I've ever seen. On one of my first playthroughs, I stealthed my virus into everyone, and turned them all into walking zombies when I turned on tier II (dementia, fatigue, vomiting).

YET. There were things I really wanted to see this time around that had no appearance in this verson. Like a real ending. After spending about 5 hours last night trying to beat the game (TIP: If your starting country is NOT Madagascar, start over and roll a new game.), I basically got the HUMANITY OVERCOME window. Thats it. Okay. Yippee.

Seriously, partaking in the killing of the human race, should we dive that deep - we should see some of the effects. Maybe trigger cutscenes that happen when certain milestones are hit (multiple countries infected, more than X number infected, more than X number dead, vaccine failure, entire region wipeout, 25% dead, 50% dead (riots at hospitals, as they turn back people with the help of armed military. A media screen shows airports being closed, and navy fleets across the world turning cargo ships away), 75% dead (hollow skyscrapers, rioting at street level as people scrape up the last products of mass production, newspaper puts out last headline 'IS THIS IT?'), 90% dead (breakdown of last communications services, skies are quiet, and people walk the streets on foot. A couple of armed militia men (possibly martial law enforcers), stagger through town - and both collapse.), 95% dead (Widespread isolation, everyone is sick - the least sick are alongside those on the verge of death, most often family members. All services have failed. If there is any electricity, it is being fed off generators, but there would be no news. Possibly the last broadcast from a pirate radio station.), 99% dead (Last people on earth bury time capsules, or kill themselves out of sheer despair. Go far enough outside of town and you would be able to see the remains of the mass corpse burning attempts, which of course have since failed. An unseen character travels across this hellscape) . . . and then the ending. Which I should leave up to you, but here is my idea.

In the game Missile Command for the Atari 2600, when you lose the game - there is simply this harrowing sound of destruction. Right as the human population hits zero, have the earth fade to grey land, with brown ocean as a sound plays.

Then play a final cutscene.

I'm giving a perfect score, but I'd like to see something really awesome next time around.

[That's my Wingus!]

Wingus, where have you gone?

We hardly knew ye, Wingus..

[Pizza Shack Deluxe]

Nice game.

I suck. I can only get up to day seven (all equipment), before getting overwhelmed.
Wasn't going let myself go bankrupt, I just shut down the game when I started missing every order. Four orders of fries for one customer is possible, though - provided they don't have you running everywhere else for other food.

[NG ranks/levels handbook]

Not bad.

This is actually kinda useful.

Pilot-Doofy responds:

Thanks.

Incredible!
