IceDragon64's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windows BS]

Good but not great

There's a fair few of these and this one is more than OK. It looks good and its all at least OK. You have expressed some of what people feel about Windows.
Some of the stuff is funny and made me laugh

However, There isn't really that much original about it and nothing to really grab the viewer if they have seen a few of these and I have done most of the Collection.
The really dissapointing thing was Paint. Although perhaps it was a bit funny when you try and click on the buttons and all it does is scribble on them I felt it was a cop-out and was a waste of all the artwork. As I tell all the Windows Parody makers- I am sure there is plenty more scope for Parody of Windows- and Macs too to create something which will really crease us up with laughter and make the Collection.

[[KK] Wordsearch 3]

I like!

Some thing GOOD from the KK, how nice!

No really, I like to be friendly so its nice to find something from you guys I can genuinely praise and most KK is not my taste at all.

The intro's funny and good looking. the game is BIG, thats a lot of letters there!
I got to 21 before getting restless and wanting to see if the Reset worked.

Please credit the funny music in the sub.
I would be grateful if you could tell me how the music on/off button works I can turn music off but not on again (credit to you in my next sub!)
Best Wishes,

I credited the song, but I didn't really know what it's called...

[+Basic Animation Tutorial]

OK

Its what its supposed to be.
Basic. simple. clear. Good looking.

There are lots of tutorials, but its OK.

[Dress Up: The Game]

OK dressup

+Fair selection of options etc, but otherwise nothing special. Basic character, no background/options; no Movie Clips; nothing original
Its passable, so I passed it, but dressups are common and thse days have to be a bit special to do well here.

BlueSquareFilms responds:

my sandwich game was special, but this is pretty generic i agree. but it's better than most of the craps out there.

[Optical Illusions Test]

borderline protect

I am surprised at your level you have not seen something like this on NG, they come out every few months. Indeed, many of these have been seen here a few times before. If you had only produced, say the first ten I would bl@m it, especially since it is really just a slideshow, with no animation.
However it was the biggest collection of these I have seen and it had humour in the last slide.
You need to move the text in the closing frame, it is obscured by the buttons.

Seandadj responds:

haha, thanks it did have some moving animation :P but yeah ill move the text tomorrow, need sleep justnow. thanks for the review :P

[Rotoscoping Tutorial]

Nice work.

+ Good explanation- Good of you to explain it first
+ Good instructions
+ OK art and animation

- its a bit bland without any sound. this is probably the highest score I have given without sound.

I don't normally comment on other peoples reviews, but this is CONSTRUCTIVE: When we submit, we only have two choices: game or movie. The buttons are actually called Movie and Game/Interactive. Therefore this is the correct choice. I understand a viewers dissappointment at finding a tutorial if excpecting a game but zeroing a useful tut is unfortunate.

Bibilo responds:

Thanks for the review, I just hope people realise it's not a game...considering "tutorial" is in the title.

[The Eyesight Test]

Not too bad, but...

So I go through the other layers easily enough, but like you said, when I have most lose, in terms of going back to the beginning, I have to guess. How many people want to just guess again and again?

No, its not a bad first attempt at a game and its different, but it doesn't do me. I mean, is it really the SAME colour? If you can't make a colour which is different but only just so its still challenging, then you will have to find a way of playing the game which makes it harder to find. A more complex picture or smaller squares or something.
Keep trying.
Best Wishes,
Ice

[Cocktails on Tiki Island]

Its good...

as far as I could see it. I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume I'm just no good at it. I clicked on lots of crates and pressed the mix bottle when i thought I had a mix. sometimes I got a score and sometimes I didn't. It piled up with crates, took away the score i had and I never got off the first level. I'm not much good at most computer games, so, what the hell- the art was very good, the animation seemed OK, the idea seemed original enough, so I 4'd it and gave up!
Best Wishes,
Ice

[The Impossible Quiz]

You fiend!

So far I have been stuck on 42 for a while. Its taken be best part of an hour. I would fight on but I have to go to bed. I will beat you if it takes me til I'm old and grey. Some of the answers I only figured out why after I got them! Some I still don't understand, such as question 1. I wasted a skip on boggy I don't know how many times before it came to me!

I reckon I have restarted maybe forty times or something. Jees!
OK graphics appropriate animation, wacky music, great fun.
I'll be back!
Thank you for truly challenging me!
