CapnCocaine's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Binary Boy]

Interesting, albeit laggy game. Not sure what's up there. I really dig the soundtrack and it accompanies the strange landscapes and overall bizarre setting of the game. I do feel that this ended somewhat anti-climactic, but to be honest, there really wasn't any major story going on here in the first place.

Fun and challenging. I'll be waiting to see what else you bring us in the future.

This game is so fucking difficult. Not sure if it's the slide in the controls or the latency issues of my shitty comp. but I fucking hate you... In a good way, though. Difficult games like these are my bread in butter, however I only got to level 20 and I seriously needed to rage quit...

Good game; the mechanics aren't so horrible that'd I'd want to tweak them. Awesome games like Megaman had touchy controls and horrible "fraction of a pixel" jump puzzles, so... Keep up the good work. Don't spoon feed me my victories.

Seriously, though, you're devious.

This game gives me a raging broner.

Great game. The art wasn't amazing, but it added to the storybook feel of the game. The music and muted tones lent to the overall whimsical atmosphere and I definitely felt I had traveled to a Never Ending Story like world.

Thanks for putting a hint button in. I got a little lost a couple times, but not so much so that I didn't have those "Ah, damn! I should've known" moments.

Great work, and beautifully done story. I'd love to see what else you'll share with us in the future.

The drawings, like many other things in the game, are there for a reason. They felt right. In order to evoke a sense of magic and wonder, and to make the player feel like they're living a fairy-tale, there is nothing better than opening a door to the past, to a time when we weren't so prejudiced, when everything was wondrous and loving to our eyes, when we were innocent, and the world around us so full of potential. And the funny thing is, the world today isn't much different; it is just our perception of it that has changed ;)

I love the simple graphics and objective behind this. I love how there isn't any "how to" screen either.

The game left me a little baffled at first, but the upward arrows lead me on my way. I really never knew what I was getting into, which kept the game interesting. The maze aspect is what made this game a real challenge - as did the zooming maps. This made it a dizzying affair and made collecting everything near impossible. (Admittedly, I still haven't finished)

Very old school and challenging as such. I'm always glad to see games on hear that harken back to the 80's and 90's of video games.

I really couldn't find anything to criticize you on. The graphics are simple, but smooth. The controls, again, are simple and smooth. I suppose you could add more power ups, but I wouldn't know what. I find this game is perfect as is.

I'll be keeping an eye on ya to see what you come up with next.

This is extremely difficult, but not so hard that you can't beat in 30-60 minutes. I thought the controls were spot-on. This game reminds me a lot of Megaman for the NES. (Some of those platform levels were near impossible!)

Although this was extremely challenging, it was also very fun and addictive. I couldn't bring myself to walk away from my computer until I got all those God forsaken orbs!
The graphics are crisp and simple which I think works perfect for a game such as this. However, I have to agree with previous posters in that It needs a soundtrack.

All-in-all, I hope you make a sequel. Wish I would've gotten the secret medal, but oh wells.

Dammit!

I was supposed to go to bed 2 hours ago!

Simple, fun and addictive.

[Gyossait]

Well...

This is an interesting story, however I didn't get to far. I'm not sure if there are any other controls other than the arrow keys for movement. I found a few places to be quite impossible to pass just by jumping over to avoid enemies. That said, the overall theme of the game is very eerie and surreal. I definitely felt a foreboding sense of hopelessness, even though I only got past a a few (6-8) screens.

Great job and I'm sorry I couldn't play this thoroughly.

(maybe you could shed some light on the controls.)

Dysentery!? Really!?

This was pretty fun. It kept me me entertained until the end so I can't complain too much.

However, at a certain point, it felt like the challenge was off. All I was left with was an endless recruitment of soldiers to beat out infected houses - and there really was no challenge beside the thought of, "Wowzers! I forgot I had gas stations I could rebuild into bars! Hope I can convert them before I quarantine the whole town!"

That said - This was a great game. And a nice take on the survival strategy genre. I'd gladly play this again, or any sequel - if you so choose to create one. Keep making great games, Hombre.

After three days...

... I "finally" unlocked everything.

It was kind of a bummer that some of the racers were unlocked after beating all the races - honestly, I hoped there would be more challenges for them, since they kicked my ass throughout the game.

This was just as fun as the last, and a wee bit more challenging. What the hell am I saying; this game started to piss me off it got so hard. It was good though - I think a game that doesn't challenge you or frustrate you to tears sometimes probably isn't that entertaining of a game.

Critique`? I 'spose there were a few minor glitches; such as CPU rider's floating in the air as they rode, or times when the would explode into birds for no apparent reason.

Also - as previously stated - I really would have liked to have some added challenges after the final base. There really wasn't any reason to play with the final bikers other than to gain money to max out the few remaining points I didn't buy.

All in all, I loved the game. Kept me entertained for a few days, and the character bios were... interesting to say the least. Sorry for the novel-of-a-review, but keep up the good work. It's games like these that keep me playing flash games.
