ChronoNomad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Yellow Blocks Escape]

Very tricky!

I enjoyed playing this, and needed just a tiny little hint to complete it. It's not easy, and having to wait for the Decodeye and Encodeye was a little frustrating. Overall, a very unique and interesting puzzle room! Keep making these. I love 'em! ^.^

[Polleke's Garden Escape]

I really like your Freakin Rooms games...

...but this one is surprisingly unimpressive. It's not bad, but out of all the other ones I've played it's my least favorite. I thought that this one was almost too simple, and the graphics just don't seem to be as nice as most of the others. Plus, it would have been extremely simple to just use the table or a chair and jump over the fence...so the need to "escape" felt a little too contrived. Still, without that plot point, there wouldn't be a game at all.

I probably had the most trouble fishing the key out of the pond. Not actually getting the key itself, but finding the object needed to do so. Once I got past that point, the rest was cake.

[Christmas Escape]

First Freakin Room I completed without help!

I've been doing your Freakin Rooms all out of order, but I must say that I love them all! This is a great Christmas version...very fun and festive! I guess I've finally learned to poke around EVERYWHERE! For once, I didn't need to cheat and peek at a Walkthrough. Yay!

Keep making more of these...they're awesome! XD

Explosively fun!

Great game! Very fun to play, and it definitely has an excellent difficulty curve. Animation is nice and movement is very intuitive. Sound and music were great accompaniments to the action.

Since you can't actually "die" in this game, I was beginning to wonder what would cause a game over. Then I ran out of ammo! :P

I blasted my way through about half the levels before my ammo was depleted, but didn't really feel like playing it again. I might just come back and play it again later on a whim, though.

[PoolJam]

It's decent, but kind of unoriginal.

I love playing pool, but I got tired of playing this pretty quick. Graphics are okay; sounds are minimal, but also not bad. Lack of any kind of music hurts the game, too. At least having one soft, jazzy little tune playing in the background would have been better than having none at all.

I hate the timer. Being timed in pool feels far to unnatural to me. Setting up shots is one thing, but if I had actually added some "english" to my shots, I would have been left with half the table uncleared. As it is, I was lucky to clear the whole table in a given round thanks to the "race against the clock" mentality. At the very least, up the amount of time allotted if you need to keep the timed element. Please.

[The World's Hardest Game]

Aptly named!

I finally said "screw it" after dying repeatedly in level 6. And there are 30 levels altoghether? Dude...no way...

How good are you at playing your own game? Can you finish all the levels? Without losing a single life (...as if that's even possible...)?

Anyways, great game! It's almost demonic how bloody hard it is. The graphics are pretty "meh", but the gameplay is easy to learn and ungodly challenging. Good stuff.

[Sheepy.]

Interesting for a while, but...

Oh, man...by the time I was on level 35+, counting over 100 sheep each time was a pain in the ass. It just takes way too long, and frankly if I hadn't clicked on the close button, it probably would have driven me insane. I would have had to sit through a whole bunch of 5 minute sorties of sheep just to lose on purpose and get my name in the ranking. At that point, I had simply ceased to care.

So, basically, it starts out being cute and fun...but winds up being a headache. I don't know if the levels ever end, but I wasn't about to find out. There needs to be something to break up the monotony somehow. It just becomes too much of a chore...even if it is extremely easy.

Graphics are cute and cuddly, though. ^.^ The sheep animations are also fun. The idea of the handicap randomizer is good, as well. It just seems to go on forever, and I had no choice but to stop or risk getting a migraine. Nothing extremely original or groundbreaking, but it makes for a nice diversion in small doses.

[Sonny]

Incredible!

One of the absolute best games I've ever played here on Newgrounds. Period.

Where do I even begin? It's fun to play, and the concept is quite original! It looks extremely nice, and the sound is fantastic! The voice acting is also quite good.

I don't have one single bad thing to say about this Flash game. I look forward to finishing this awesome story in the near future. Can't have *too* much of good thing...right? ^-^

I'll do my best to get Sonny 2 out as fast as possible :D

[Santa's Cannon]

Beautiful game, but...

The play control is a bit slow. Maybe you could try incorporating Elves that load the cannon instead of making jolly ol' Saint Nick run around gathering up the toys.
The part that I found really frustrating was the extremely poor hit detection. Sometimes a present would register, but more often than not I wouldn't get the points. This is something that really requires attention...especially since it's one of the most important factors in the game!

The fact that the game looked amazing and had such catchy music was its saving grace, but for it to be a more effective experience for the players the hit sensitivity issue needs to be fixed. Basically, since the targets were so hard to hit to begin with, once the targeting device was damaged by The Grinch I was screwed. After getting a whopping 2/7 presents delivered, I gave up. There's just no point in playing your game when the hit detection is this weak. Fix it, and you'll have a truly fun Christmas themed game on your hands! :)

[Stunt Pilot Trainer]

A nice diversion

This is a really fun precursor game! The controls were so simple, I felt as though I must be missing something. I tend to feel that way when I play a game that only requires the use of two buttons! :D Most games here on NG require at least 6 or 7 buttons to control a PC, so I felt a bit spoiled only having to use the up and down arrows. Thanks for making a fun game with nice graphics that was easy to play!

Mr-Izan (a couple posts previous) said he had some lag while playing, but I had none whatsoever. He doubted that it was his computer causing the lag, but quite frankly I think that's exactly what it was. Unfortunately, no matter the cause for his lag, he found the game to be "lacking".

I, however, did not. =^-^= Thanks again!
