Gooch's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mouse Avoider 2]

This is a pretty fun game.

I've played both versions so far, and I have to say that I like them both. On this one, I did like the fact that you used a blue color for the background, just to make it a bit easier on the eyes when you're keeping the mouse away from the walls and objects. It does stay challenging too, especially with that one new level. Sure, it may take a while to beat, but it's worth it. Nice work.

[Homer Simpson Soundboard2]

It was okay.

There were a couple problems with them, and they concern the cursors. Honestly, I didn't like the fact that a picture of Homer was the cursor. It made it too confusing to know if you were actually over a button to hit a sound or not. On the second page, you can't even tell where the cursor's at, so you don't know whether you're over a button or not.

Besides that, it wasn't too bad. There was a great combination of sounds from the television series. I guess if I had one more complaint about it, it's that you could come up with some buttons for the activation of sounds that were a lot less-sketchy looking. Not too bad, though.

I just updated that. Thanks for letting me know.

[Korn Doll]

It wasn't too bad.

However, I didn't feel that there was all that much to do with this game. It was cool how you could change the color of the doll and the background color, but having only three options to do with the doll itself got repetitive fairly quickly. Adding more options to what the doll can do would improve this game greatly. Not bad, though.

[Hurlin' Earl Halloween]

Haha, fucking sick!

Man, even as sick as that was, that was freaking cool. All the elements of Halloween seemed to be covered there. I don't know why, but the caramel apple puke intrigued me the most. Any way you slice it though, this was an awesome flash, from graphics to humor. Also, it's definitely appropriate for this time of year, that's for sure. Nice stuff, man.

[A's to Z's Tutorial]

Awesome.

Everything from A-Z, and the number keys, too. I'm sure it took a lot of time to think of things for every key. That was very entertaining, not to mention a great idea. Now I know how I can truly be an internet asshole. I'm going to have to read into this a lot. Nice work.

Anonymous-Idiot responds:

Thanks! Nice to have the first review be positive, seems like a good sign...

[Special Fx Tutorail 2]

Better than the last one.

I like this one better than the first one. It gave me some information that I've never seen in other tutorials that I've viewed before. Not a bad idea keeping with the whole background and the theme of things. Most people would change that up. Anyways, very informative, very helpful, and well organized. Nice work.

[Special FX Tutorial]

Not too bad.

It looks like you could've put just a hint of more effort into this one, but I think it's still decent enough to pass. I've never actually seen a tutorial that incorporated how to make electricity, so I'll give you credit on that one. It seems like how to make blood and buttons is overly used in tutorials, so make sure if you decide to do another one of these in the future that you show how to make something that hasn't been shown before.

Anyways, not too bad at all.

[Stick Invaders 3]

Not too bad.

It was a pretty good idea for an overused game concept. I didn't really like the sound effects. They started to get pretty annoying after a minute or two. The graphics weren't all that special, really. However, I think it was an interesting game, that did keep me entertained. Just keep working on things, and I think this will turn out to be a great game. Not too bad here, though.

Thanks for the opinion, I welcome them all!

:)

[Daily Day - HopStar!]

Not too bad.

I'm not exactly fond of these games, but your version kept me playing for a while, just so I could see what the face would look like at the end. That was a good idea, since that will keep people playing it until they reach the last face change. It wasn't exactly the best graphically or anything, but it was somewhat of a fun game to play. Not too shabby.

taurusclock responds:

Thanks Gooch! I appreciate it! Certainly not the best Flash I've ever done *looks around* heheh.. not that I've submitted anything.

[Marvin Spectrum]

Pretty cool game.

I thought this game was very unique. Sure, there have been games like this before, but I liked this one since there were more obstacles to tackle besides getting through the beams correctly. Having them get through by color too was a nice idea, and it makes the game more challenging, I believe. I like your style, too. Nice work.
