Ebonyte's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[REDDER]

This is elegant and excellent. Perfectly indie and retro. Fantastic stuff.

[Madness: Project Nexus (Classic)]

I know you guys are working on the sequel, and I'm pumped, and this is a game from back in the day, but for whatever reason, it's not working anymore. You can move and shoot just fun for a little while, but then the game just... keeps on going without you. You freeze. Any actions taken are delayed at best. If I exit out of the tab, the sounds keep going for a minute before stopping.

This played really well on my last, much slower machine. I'm not any kind of tech expert, just a fan, but I figure it's got to be a memory problem of some sort.

Anyway, hoping there's a solution if you have the time and attention to spare it. Love your work, guys. Keep it up. :)

Woah... where do I get the soundtrack?

EDIT: I uploaded the song here as well.

[Swords and Potions]

I would love to rate this higher, but the microcharges are killing it. Frankly, this would get a MUCH higher rating if it was a hacked version without all the Microsoft-style real-money charges. I might even be willing to pay more to get advantages from being in a guild online, or downloading a deluxe or special edition for a one-time price. But paying to play longer is just a good way to scare gamers away.

It's a solid concept, and I look forward to other iterations of it, or this one being remedied.

Fantastic Beauty

Brilliant Flash work. Simply mesmerizing. Simple, effective... you deserve every reward for the sound.

Where does the music come from? I'd love to hunt it down for my collection.

[The Essay]

Wow...

How did you get me to laugh and cheer so hard at a typing game? Well done!

Excellent choices of music, too. Very, very well done.

[Arrival In Hell I]

Unfortunately, Not an Upgrade

The graphical upgrade is fairly low, and the voice over could probably use an overhaul. I remember playing this way back when, and it was fun enough, but this version actual has become much glitchier than I remember the original: several times in the first room alone I found my character jumping around the room, resetting from his commands. It made the game unplayable.

While I appreciate the effort, and you've got a good idea, this particular upgrade needs serious maintenance before it's re-release. Best of luck, and don't give up!

[William and Sly]

Pure Magic

Use of animation, sound, and atmosphere are top notch. This deserves a place alongside Brackenwood for quality and dream-like whimsy. Exceptionally well done. Kajenx is a talent to watch.

Well done. More like this will be met with equal enthusiasm.

[Upgrade Complete!]

Wow. A Game With a Moral. :)

A fun game, well put together. I'm guessing you were a bit bitter about a previous work, or that of a friend?

But your point is well taken. A game is as good as it is fun. No exceptions. And in making your point, you crafted a game that was fun, as well.

Try this. You'll laugh. More importantly, you'll have fun.

[Edge of Sanity]

Wow

I'm quite proud that I learned Flash overnight...without knowing it... unfortunately, I didn't make a game I could actually play... Hmmm...
