elderwolves's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Acid Bunny]

This is an awesome game, but I kept falling into scenes and not popping out the other way. For instance, tried to jump on a cloud and when the screen flicked to the ground, I did not land. I was lost in the in-between. Also for anyone who wants a little advice: after you get the picture in the bulls-eye areas, go back when you want to stock up on carrots. Hope this helps, gonna reload the game for the third time to see if I can finish without getting stuck in the in-between.

SeethingSwarm responds:

Going back into cleared "bulls-eye" areas to stock up on carrots is a great tip!

Sorry you gut stuck in the in-between on multiple occasions! I think it has something to do with the game's performance on different computers or browsers or something. It has happened to me maybe three or four times, and I've play-tested this game a million times! Again, sorry for that.

So glad you like the game and thanks for the nice score!

My cat... she tried to kill me... and wished me sweet dreams... JUST WHAT KIND OF CAT DID I BUY!?!?!?!? And NO explanation for how the cat does that?! I must be mad. *looks over at cliff*

xhunterko responds:

A special cat. A very special cat. Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it!

PROOF that you don't need to be overly complicated to have a good game! Also, I hate you. Those little AI's were a pain to get across to talk to both Alex and Artist! I thought this was going to be lame because of the graphics, but I had lots of fun! I hope this game makes it, because if it does it's going on my favorites.

CanadaGDP responds:

Wow, thanks so much! "Intern" is actually the first game I've ever made, so I'm glad to hear that some people are enjoying it.

If you're particularly concerned about it making the cut, you could always recommend it to your friends, haha.

For one thing, after a while the music stops. That would have been a good opportunity to add some variation so that the gamer doesn't rip off their ears, but it just stops and leaves you only the annoying sound of Santa fighting to listen to. Also, it's not really a 'kill' if your only punching the elves, it would be more like 'KOs'. I would have liked it better if there was something to separate the levels, different presents that have different affects, a raise in difficulty level as you went, some form of upgrade or reward for achievements, and maybe a change of scenery every once in a while. Once you're done with the game, it just ends. ENDS. There is no resolution to the conflict, the elves don't come back to work, Santa doesn't suddenly realize he's KO'd most of his workers, it just ENDS! There is no real incentive to play this game, interest only gets them to start playing but it won't keep them there to finish. It just felt like I've wasted my time hitting elves that won't fight back. I suggest you make some changes, because this was a good idea to start with. It is certainly something to build off of. Keep trying!

I see - its just a small christmas game and il fix the music problem :)

thanks :)

This was a good start. Had to read the author comments before I could do it, but it was good. I like how it didn't just SNAP from Jesus to "JESUS CRIST!", but had a good transition that was just fast enough to do the job but just slow enough to let us get good and creeped out. I felt that maybe a soft growl during transitions (not a big roar, just a deep and soft growl or maybe even some quiet creepy laughter; you get the point) would have emphasized the effect. I feel this could definitely be expanded upon! This was good!

klanco responds:

It´s true the thing with the cross is not that obvious. I tried to add the red-button-thingy to help with that but still...

Anyway thanks for the insights, I'll keep them in mind!

There were no instructions on how to play this game, causing complete confusion on how to proceed. It took pure luck for me to hit the right keys to get him MOVING let alone how to win the game, which didn't happen. And the design for the world around him was so good, that it was a complete and utter let down to see how you did the guy's legs. And the way he walked? OH MY GOSH! Why so much effort only to fall out like that? The main character should be the aspect with the most attention to detail and effort placed into it; the scenery proved you could do better. Try adjusting some of these problems and resubmitting, and let's try again! The intro was very good and got me curious, so I want to see where this game goes. But right now, that's impossible.

FourSevenSeven responds:

Thank for your review.
I added control keys in description.
I like his feet.
I have not paid much attention to his appearance, because it doesn't matter. His clothes symbolizes life, and that's enough.

[Missy Messy]

It was a good concept, with a few flaws. The constant voice that sounds every time you get something right got annoying very fast. It was fun for a while, but I could not find how to get the last crystal on the last level, on easy OR normal. Also on the last level, there seemed to be a glitch with the washcloth where you would go to ring it out and it would hop behind it. Fix it a little and it should be good!

ikaan responds:

I fixed the last level so that nothing should drop below the bucket (that you use to wring the washcloth). I also made the crystals to show from the start of the last level. so you do not have to unlock it now. So it should be fixed now :). Thanks for the pointer.
