Mennez's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dead Zed]

Stunning game! The graphics are superb on all aspects (interface, hud, in-game) - its all made in the same style; and the style is very well chosen :). I really like the paper / note interface design. It is nice to see some good graphics, but the gameplay is the most important thing of every game.

This game features awesome gameplay mechanics! Simple basics (easy to understand - no tutorial needed) and nice gun-feeling (I don't know the right word for that ;)). This game is very addicting: we all want the best guns and more survivors and that's a very good reason for gamers to replay the game!

Dead Zed deserves 5 stars. It gives you a great experience and uses some new mechanics we did not see before in flash games. Very well done!!

[Castaway 2]

Superb looks

This game feels very nice. The design is superb. For an RPG game in flash it's fantastic. One little thing: I don't think a big RPG like this is suited for being a flash game. This game would fit awesomely on a handheld though!

[Arrival In Hell 2]

Superb sequel!

This game is a lot of fun. I don't like point and click game personally, but this was a awesome experience. The cutscenes really made the game a lot better; it was almost a little movie!

One of the best point and click games which didn't bore me! Keep it up mate!

Thanks for the awesome review, i'm very glad you like it :D

[When The Plague Came]

Awesome stuff!

This is a wonderfull game. Simple concept but so addicting! The game has dozens of upgrades and the graphics are stunning. I really like the option to hire man in the fortress upgrades section.

Mostly times, a simple game gets boring after a while. This game won´t do the same thing! It has 28 campaign levels and 8 different weapons, all with their own good and bad points.

The game it´s music fits perfectly. The graphics are so well done! Another gameplay element I really liked, was the possibility to make some bad ass combo´s.

If you would compare this game with your other sombie game: 24 days in the Mall, this game is 10 times better, on al flanks.

The Rankings:

Graphics: 10/10, simply amazingly stunning.
Gameplay: 9/10, simple and addicting, with many upgrade options.
Music: 10/10, couldn't choose any better music.

10/10 & 5/5

wow thanks man im glad you like it :D

[Heroic Sports Football]

Very nice!!

Very nice game. It was a bit hard at first for me, but later I want to play it again and again! The game plays very well, I find it hard to defend though. I really like it that you have health for each player, that makes this game unique!

The are some points to improve, though. It would be nice if there was a carreer mode, and that you could level up your characters (a career mode like in FIFA Football).

The game is good overall. But could be better with more modes and more depth.

The Rankings:

Gameplay: 8/10
Graphics: 9/10
Sounds: 9/10
Replay: 7/10

hechaos responds:

Hey Superhero! There is a career mode and you can level up your characters.. it's probably not very clear, but instead of selecting "Quick Game" , try going to the "New Team" from the menu.

Cheers, thanks for the review!

[Armed Prophet]

Very Nice

This is a very nice game. The intro is very well made and the music fits perfectly in the game. This gives a great feeling to the game itself.

When I was playing the game the 1st time, it lagged very much. But later I tried a different level and that runs smoothly. I think you have to make bitmaps (.png images) of the backgrounds, so the game is not that intensive for your computer.

The second improvement point for the gameplay, is the fight system (the main part of the game) itself. Ive played NINJA Brawl of SeethingSwarm too; that game had deep gameplay, because of the combo system. In this game you dont have a combo system.

The game has also some improved points compared to NINJA Brawl. First of all, there is a great intro. Second you can unlock new weapons. Each weapon has its own special ability. Thats really what I liked about this game.

So here are the rankings from me for this game:

Gameplay: 8/10, not very deep gameplay (no combos).
Graphics: 9/10, great graphics, especially in the intro of the game.
Music: 10/10, the soundtrack of this game fits perfect.
Replay: 9/10, the medals is the fact that you are coming back again.

[Operation Darkness Strike]

Well done!

Wow! How did you made this in flash man? And as your first game? It's very awesome! The Music is perfect for an arcade shooter. Like everybody is saying. Yeah it would be much better if it had different weapons, reloading, different enemies and so on, but the concept is very well done. I would really like to know how you did make this game...

This game needs to get much more attention than it's getting right now.

8 Stars and 5/5.

[Captain Crash]

Awesome game (A++!!)

Wow, this game is perfect. Why? Not because it've very original but because everything works perfect and the song does fit perfect in the game. The menu theme is also very awesome. I am very addicted to it :D. I've already got all the badges.

The graphics could be better but it has a good style which fits in the game...

The Rankings:

Gameplay: 9/10
Graphics: 7/10
Sound/Music: 10/10 (Where can I get this guy to help me with further projects^^?)
Addictiveness: 10/10

Overall rating: 10/10 (not an avarage).

Keep up the good work and for the programmer -> please read my PM I sent to you ;)!

[Target Barbarossa]

Like always very awesome

I really love this game. The graphics are awesome, I just love the style! A great improvement over the game 12 Days. This one is much better!

The sound and music fits well in the game too. Oh and the menu's I really like them. The game is very difficult for me since I can't get any farther than level 3.

The Rankings:

Graphics: 10/10
Music: 10/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Overall: 10/10

[NINJA Brawl]

Very well done game!

This Ninja game is very well done. I really don't understand that all the people say that it is a rip-off of Castle Crashers. Look he also has made HOBO brawl, with the same concept, and what he has also said: "There are tons of games with this concept.", yes that is true, but this is one of the few with did very good. Everyting works very well.

Back on the game; the gameplay did worked very well. Everything works smoothly and the combo's and level up system is very well done. Then we have the graphics which really have an awesome style! I really love it. You can draw fantasticly with your own great looking style, that´s a big plus!

All the music is self made and sounded very well, which is a big plus too. There are very much levels and possibilities which made the game have a good replay value.

The Rankings:

Gameplay: 10/10, very well done with tons of options! Even a upgrade system!
Graphics: 10/10, you've a very great own style!
Music: 9/10, sounds good and made by yourself!
Replay: 10/10, there are very much levels and the game will take you a lot of time to stop with.

PS: I did sent you a PM, could you read that and answer it :)?

SeethingSwarm responds:
