Novelty's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Single Noble]

5/5

The was a very solid puzzle game. I must have spent more than a half hour trying different ways to leave a loine peice in the center, and I still have accomplished it. After writing this, I'll probably give it a few more go arounds. Very simple and addictive.

Also, the graphics are also very good. The polished look and detailed menu make this very easy on the eyes. Some bits are grainy, but it is a great design.

Now, I have played it many times before I even saw this flash. I supose it was about eight years ago when I bought a small wooden set of this, now I know what the game is called- "Single Noble".

[Blackjack Gold]

4/5

I really enjoyed this game. I enjoy card games alot in real like, so this genre of games really appeals to me. The betting system was pretty good, I got lost in it for about twenty minutes. The gameplay got stale after a while though, a goal to go for (like a certain amount of money to get in a time limit) would have been nice.

The graphics were also pretty good. Everything had a pretty nice design, and the colors were authentic. The chips lookeds rather sloppy though, that could have been improved.

[UFOMania]

Great fun, great art.

The graphics of this game were simple, stylish, and cool. I loved how almost everything was viewed all in shades of orange, made it look very cool. The broad white outlining strokes fore everything looked good, especcially when you drew landmarks in that style. My only complaint is that the human looked a little sloppy, but it was still great visuals.

And the gameplay was also very fun. The simple objective of picking up people around the world in a UFO proved fun and addictive enough for a great game. The rockets and choppers added a fun challange. Dropping humans and picking them up just before they hit the ground or just letting them splat also was very entertaining, and I like how the screen stretched out to add a free-roaming feel.

[Defend Atlantis]

Fun and Original!

The visuals in this game were simple and cartoonish. They could have been better, but it was still good and went with the flow of the game. I liked the vibrant colors.

And this was no normal defense game. First of all, even the setting was original- I've never heard of a defense game undewater, and involving Atlantis. And the gameplay was very unique, instead of simplily blasting away enimies you took it a step up with drawing circles, which made it alot more involving and fun. But the game was too short and too easy. And there should have been alot more extras, like more power-ups and falling objects.

[Rage 2!]

Your Best Yet!

I've been a fan of yours for awhile, the fun and violent gameplay of your games such as "Dry-Fire" and the original "Rage" have been some of the funnest games of Newgrounds.

The graphics are simple and stylish. Normally stick figures are a way for lazy and untalented people to make pictures, but you have turned it into a art. The backround were very detailed and great.

And the gameplay was, like always with your works, bloody fun! The sheer amount of people you kill is entertaining enough, maybe a Rage 3 is in the works?

Rage 3 won't be coming anytime soon. This was a pain to make :c. But that doesn't mean it will never come ;)

[Cosmic Crush]

Like "Fishy", but much better.

The graphic this game were great! I liked how all the stars wern't the exact same distance away like most space backdrops. That added some welcomed reality. The planet and astroid art was also top-notch, I liked the how they were a bit transparent. This must have taken alot of time.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is commenting on how the gameplay was extremely simular to the game "Fishy". But the open envirorment and the gravity factor made playing this game a bit more complicated- and a hell of a lot more fun.

[Particles]

Simple Pleasures

Well, the visuals wern't exactly top-notch. They were not horrible though, but they could have been better. The physics were what made the game, the speed and momentum being transfered at contact just like in real life. Fun! Smooth animation was also a big plus.

And the gameplay was simple, but addictive. Just what these type of games should be like. Dodging the balls was pretty fun, but a little bland. Maybe some power-ups or something to spice it up. It would have been nice.

[Matrix Rampage]

Deserves a spot in a arcade!

Ah, sprites at it's finest. Most Newgrounders cringe at the sight of it, but there are not many this good. And tsome great Matrix theme visuals. This really looks like a high-quality game at a local arcade.

And it played like one two. Many weapons to pick up and moves to preform. No complex story or plot, just hundreds of Smiths to beat up for no explained reason. And I really loved the desructible interactive enviorment. Great pick-up game to play when you're bored!

Overall- Great graphics (somehow with sprites!) and gameplay, solid gaming experience.

[World of Words 2]

Unique fun!

Squares with words in them. Not much on graphics here, but simplicity was the key in this game. Good animation with the footstep when people move around, so it wasn't too horible.

The gameplay was very unique. Scroll around, come across some sentences and maybe entire paragraphs and poems if you hang around for a bit. See some footsteps and follow people around for a bit. Whatever, it's really cool. But to actually compose your own message was time-consuming and got boring long before you said what you wanted to say. But if you have the pateince, this is a great game indeed!

Overall- Strange, oringinal fun, but takes some time.

[Stick Arena (NG)]

Live play ruined it.

The graphics were pretty good, top-notch quality for sticks. Good weapon and backround design for the whole game. The animation was smooth most of the time. But there were time where it could get laggy and choppy.

The premise was fun and had great exucution. Run around and get kills, with a bunch of weapons and arenas to choose from. And the online play will make it even better right? Wrong. First of all, a little more than half of my games it just wouldn't work. My comp would boot me off. When you're lucky just because you got to play one damn round, something needs to be fixed. Also, the community was mostly pre-teens, so the chatbox was just filled with annoying spam. And last was the worst problem of the game- everyone was hacking! How am I supossed to enjoy this when half the people are invincible!?! That really killed the gameplay.

Overall- good graphics, animation, but the online part of the game (the whole thing) was annoying as fuck.
