hechaos's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Othexo]

Suprisingly simple, deceptively difficult.

Gexin, you're a noob. Take a lie down before you cut yourself with the mouse.

Great game Ben! Classic old-world strategy with a sci-fi skin. Love the explosions and as always top notch sound design.

[Exmortis 3]

A fine magnum opus

A fitting end to an exciting trilogy,all Ben's hallmarks of production, sound design and artwork shine here. Hours of gameplay, puzzles ans secrets to unlock.

As usual it astounds me to read the posts here by the forum trolls. Last time I checked, Newgrounds motto was "everything by everyone" ... not "ONLY FREE GAMES DUDE OMFG WTF"

Rating a game down because you feel like you're "owed" something by a developer is weak. The length of the free component of the game is considerably larger than most games ported here, most of you are flaming the game without even playing through.

What needs to be understood is productions of this quality take many months to build. You're happy to pay a fwe bucks for a throwaway hamburger and a beer, what's the problem with paying some cash to reward the fruits of an indie developer's labour?

The answer is simple. You like the game and want more, it's available to you. You don't? Close the browser and move on.

At any rate, there will always be freeloaders who think the world owes them something - this most vocal of audiences are as mean as they are tight fisted, and not worth losing sleep over.

Kudos on a game well developed, may it bring you success.

Methinks I have seen this before.

Suspiciously and remarkably similar in mechanics to my Swine Flu Hamdemic game, which was in turn similar to Kitty Cannon (with the addition of shooting ) and so on.

I can't quite fathom why your game has a rating of 4.6 ,which puts it amongst the highest rated NG games ever....!!!! .... Still, your production values and depth of powerups is exceptional. It goes to show that a tried and true "whack a penguin" style concept, if excecuted well, can be a winner. Well done.

Great game, good atmosphere

Well made game mate - lots of nice touches and responsive controls.

To those who are rating this game poorly because of the "payment for optional upgrades" - wake up to yourselves. To build a game of this calibre takes months of hard work from an artist and a coder. Individuals, not giant corporations. People slaving away in their bedrooms after hours and so on.

Many do this without making a cent. You get to play the game without contributing a damn cent to their income , and yet you begrudge them the opportunity to gain some monetary reward?

I copped the same criticisms when releasing my "Swords & Sandals" series and my answer is always the same: This is the way the world works - you try something , if you like it and want more, you should pay for it - the world of gaming is no different from movies, music or any other entertainment medium.

Anyway - well done and keep up the good work - there is certainly a living to be made making quality games, there will always be haters but there's also a wide section of the community who are prepared to support indie developers.

Cheers

Pure magic

Addicitve, challenging and full of the eye candy we come to expect from a Ben Leffler games. Do yourself a favour, put on stereo headphones and enjoy the detailed soundscape of the game.

One point, you do a horrible american accent. I almost deducted a point for that!

Great game to tie us over until ExMortis 3 arrives!

A timeless puzzle updated

An intriguing fusion of the ancient chinese puzzle Chan Chu and the schoolyard classic Rock-Paper_Scissors . Destined to become a classic in its own right... kudos to you , good sir!

A whale of a tale!

A veritable leviathan of a game, this nautical quest is both compelling and confounding. Eerie underwater ambience mixed with terrific water effects and briney goodness make for a great adventure.

The game should be run on a high spec machine, will really chug old machines but Flash Player 10 runs it beautifully.

The game starts off relatively simply - your squid is just a minnow devouring plankton - but it really comes into its own around level 6 or 7 in the open waters. Battling sting rays and orcas as your squid evolves into a terror of the deep is just plain fun. There's not too many undersea games floating round the ocean of online gaming and this is a charming foray into the murky life of crustacea . Simple on the surface, but with great depth.

Alright I'm out of nautical puns....nice work.

[Switch Game]

A juggernaut of ingenuity

An intriguing mix of elegant simplicity and deceptive difficulty, it keeps you coming back time and time again, which is the holy grail a puzzle game should strive for. And where most puzzle games come up short in the replayability stakes, this one succeeds on every level.

We wait with bated breath for more from this promising new developer. The future's bright for Actionsprite!

[Double Bubble]

hmm

Nice title screen and music. Seems like someone spent a long time on this....a really long time...

[Holo Holo Island]

Tropical goodness

Really polished game, great particle effects on the gemstones, nice soundtrack and has agreat addictive quality. Like Bubble Bobble in the jungle. Well done Sidog, now bring on the Yum Cha Showdown!
