KarmaX's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Coin Catch]

Don't listen to the idiots.

This is pretty impressive for a start. Don't listen to the stupid morons that mark this low. 99% of them could not do a better job, themselves.

theY4Kman responds:

It might've been a great start, but it still isn't a great game :P There was a lot more I wanted to add, but I had to submit it before I left for New Jersey. And it turns out I wasn't even going there, anyways, so I'll have time to finish it.

[Super Mario Hardcore]

It was ok.

It was decent, I guess. Not that great, but not poor, either.

Although there were SO many parts where it just seemed lazy. The backgrounds seem to be simply ripped from a SMW guide book or something. They are the same levels but you can't interact with ANYTHING. No pipes to go down, no areas to access. You can't even hit the blocks.

The game is also ridiculously ridiculously EASY. Only three short levels of enemies that offer little to no resistance (Besides Koopas that shoot in level three, but they are also incredibly easy to defeat as their shots are few and rarely affect you.)

The game offers practically no challenge and is over in about 3 minutes. The lowest my health meter went down at any time was down to about 75%. There's no difficulty and no balance to the gameplay.

No offence, but it's a little hard to believe this was worked on for 5 months, becuase it looks like nearly 1 month was put into it off and on, and then the project got boring so you quit after three levels. That's what it seems like.

The music was pretty good, and probably the one area where it looks like attention was put into the game (Besides Mario jumping and giving the later enemies in the 3rd level some kind of AI to their shooting patterns)

If there's one reason to play this game, it's to listen to the good music, and probably shoot a koopa or two if you're into that. Otherwsie, there's practically no real gameplay and it's over in about 2 or 3 minutes at the most. Then... it aburptly ends.

No real exploration.. you just move forward, shoot things that offer hardly any resistance, and that's it. If anyone ever dies (Or even gets their health down to 60%) then that person must be a 4 year old who didn't read the instructions, pretty much. It's the only way to lose this "game"

For a sequel.. especially an anticipated sequel, I would hope that the game would overall be better than this. MUCH MUCH MUCH better than this. I don't think it's exactly "poor" so I can't just write it off becuase that would be just insulting. There was some work put into this, that I can see. There just didn't seem to be very much of it.

If there's a third game sometime, I hope it's probably a helluva lot better than this. No offence, just calling it how I see it. Later.

Casualty responds:

Nice reading there! I gotta tell you something.. I DID work on this 6 months, but you should count the fact the I am INCREDIBLY lazy, and 3 of the 6 months consisted of bug-fixing.

Anyways Thanks man!
