Orchidaceae's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Billy Genocide]

Repetitive and unbalanced.

There, I named them. Two of games' big sins.
The repetitive speaks for itself: as far as gameplay goes, there's only one type of level, and one two types of enemies. They just look different each time. Same with the blockades - who make you give them all your items before they'll let you go. That's called theft in a normal world, by the way.
As for unbalanced; the different guns...aren't that different at all. And when you empty the guns, don't worry about reloading, because that'll trigger an enemy to run up to you, and grab you. Just hit space to shake it off, and the reloading is magically finished.

Now, wht would've been nice is some variation. And maybe, instead of just blocking and robbing you, add the option to fight the blockades; they try to rob you, you've got a gun, so that's just normal gamer instinct, right? Whatever they'd give you could be an item drop after blowing their heads off.

So, dear developer, go change the game, and sin no more.

Amazing game!

You destroyed all the free time I have...bastard.
But what a way to lose it. This game is excellent in nearly everything it does, and I see you're taking notes on the things to improve.
The very wide grin on my face says: This means a sequel, eh? :D

On a sidenote: Baron Brixius isgoing down as a very memorable opponent. XD

Krinn responds:

I'm glad you liked it :D Baron is my favorite character actually.

Personally, I like it

I felt like cheating: I have a tablet, and some experience drawing.
Yeah, that went too easy. So I decided to test the theory that left-handed people are good at learning to write/draw with both hands.
Heh, not really.
Guess I'm going to be playing this a lot until I've got it.

And it's indeed a drawing game, and best enjoyed as such.

[Moosh'd Anime Tutorial 2]

Solid tut, and it seems many agree.

This is a good tutorial, not just because you draw well, but also because you're a pretty good teacher. It's never confusing, and I think most people will have no trouble with picking it up and improve their drawings.
I do think you missed a few things that are pretty much required to make a good drawing -like composition, colour picking, gettig good references and inspiration, that sort of stuff.
But looking at the reviews, you awakened the potential artist in a lot of people, and if they really decide to go on drawing, they'll learn it.
And you were the one who got them started.

[Rat Shot]

Fun while it lasts.

Rat Shot is a nice game, good (cute) graphics, and it doesn't have any bugs. The 5 letter code reduces the cheating in the scoreboard, which makes it worth aiming for the top spot.
There were some things that let the game down. First, it didn't give too much satisfaction crashing the rat. Make me want to hurt them more, now they're a bit too cute to hurt.
But the biggest flaw is that it doesn't last too long. This game has been compared to Nanaca Crash. The fun of that was -for a great part- that you could keep the victim flying for obscene distances. I miss that a bit.
Maybe if there were more items, a bigger Oomph meter, more bounce, or you could still flap your arms after bouncing on the table.

As I said, it's fun. Now make it last longer ; )

[Snowstar]

Nice and friendly game.

The strong point of this game is deffinately it's good vibe. From the appealing -though a bit simple- graphics, to the music, which makes you feel warm inside.
It's not too complex, it's not overwhelming, it's just warm and friendly as a pinguin should be.

:)

[Scribble!]

Original, funny, must-play!

The fact that I'm constantly drawing makes me really love this game. It also makes this game a little too easy for me -altough that could be because of my tablet too.

[3d logic]

All 30 puzzles finished...my brain hurts

There are a few things that make puzzle games good in my opinion.

First off, the puzzles need to be original. Well, I've never seen such a connect-two-points-on-a-3d*-cube-kind-of-puzzle.
*3d in flash. Looking good!

And secondly, the puzzles need to be challenging (not as in this-interface-is-not-cooperating-challenging), and make you want to solve every one of them. Well, as I said before, I solved all of them and my brain is still recovering. All 30, which is a lot, which is good.

Yeah, I think I may say this is one of the better puzzle games out there.

[To-Suta]

Perfect game to cheer someone up!

This game was pretty standard in every aspect of it...
But it was just so much fun, you can't stop playing.

[Pico Sim Date]

Brilliant

Normally, I ignore these kind of games, as they're almost always pretty boring, and not really that challenging.
This was different, as I was never bored, and -mainly because my luck sucks- it was quite some challenge.
By the way, using random things was one of the things that makes this game so great, unless -like me-, you never have any luck, and encounter a high-level enemy which will beat you unconscious for two days every time you try to talk to Nene...
So I'll keep on playing, because it's just so cool.
