Novelty's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fancy Pants Adventures]

Simple, fun!

The graphics are a great example on how some of the simplest art can make the most sytlish visuals. Great backrounds, good character design, and amazingly smooth animation.

And gameplay not only matched the look of this game, but soared above it. Again, simple and awsome. The physics, oh the physics! Running as fast as you can, jumping off a ramp, and just hanging in the air. Countless times I've done this, and it's still fun. The gravity was the best part of the game.

Overall- one of the best, simplest, and funnest games on Newgrounds. Good show!

[Mani Golf]

Great well-rounded game!

The backround was detailed, the color scheme bright and fit the mood of the game, and the character design was great! All the animation was smooth and life-like. Great job on the visuals.

And the gameplay matched up with the quality of the art. Very fun and addictive play, the best golf game I have ever played on Newgrounds. Not too easy, not too hard.

Overall- Amazing sytle, graphics, and gameplay, great submission!

[Squirrel Harvest - TSF]

Oringinal, fairly addictive

The graphics were great on this one! Good art for the acorns, clocks, worms, and our furry little asian (lolwtf?) hero. The backround was good too, and it fit the theme. Nice.

This game was addicting. I must have played it about 20 times before I finally stopped, all to beat my previous score. I finished with a 520. While it is mindlessly simple, it's still a good time-waster, a great game if you're bored. Good job on the gameplay.

Overall- good art and addictive gameplay made this a solid, enjoyable game!

[Penalty Master 2]

Easy, but still fun.

As for art...well, it was sticks. The backround was great, detailed, and realistic. If you used some better character design, this would have been some great eye candy. But lets not let the simple sticks distract us from the gameplay.

now playing the game was great fun! A very good way to kick it, and defending was fun as well. The only problem was that, even on the "hard" difficulty setting, this game was very, very easy. Its hard to make a game with perfect difficulty, but this wasn;t even a challange. Still fun though.

Overall- Art could have been better, the gameplay could have been alot harder, but it was still a enjoyable experence.

[HAMU]

Simple fun!

I loved all the shine-y glare off the colorful shapes, adding detail to some great simple graphics. The backround could have been better, but thats just a minor detail.

The gameplay was very fun, a good amount of easy first levels to get used to it, then getting fast-paced and more fun as you go on. The squares breaking down smoothly was a great oringinal part of the game! And the life-like physics of the ball were wonderful!

Overall- Oringinal, fun game with great animation and physics!

[BotArena2]

So many choices...

Great art on this game, you manage to squeze alot of detail into a simple circle-like shape. And with all the upgrades, this must have taken a very long time to make!

And that brings me to the favorite part of game- the huge amount of weapons and armor to choose from! This really added some personality to the robots. And the get money and buy upgrades scheme worked very well in this game. The game was genraly easy up until the eighth level, a little too easy in fact. Then the ninth and tenth level were abruptly very hard, and I love a good challange.

This is the ultimate lazy mans game! Anyone whos played the game realizes that all the action is in AI, no player-controlled bots. At first I was disappointed, but I grew to love the fact that it did all the work for me, so good job there.

So overall- Great game with jumping difficulty and is best suited for lazy, lazy people.

[Trapped 5]

This was a puzzle game, I swear.

Not much on the visuals here, but it wasn't too bad. Simple shapes, but easy to distiguish from everything else. Made it feel alot less like an adventure game and alot more like a puzzle game.

The gameplay was vast, easy and fun. Simple, sometimes a little hard puzzles, were scattered around the game. The second boss was just freikin' annoying though, the diffifully curve broke and went strait up right there. Another annoying thing was that most of time you spent playing the game you were just visiting rooms that you had been in before, searching for a door or maybe a peice of the puzzle you missed.

Overall- Fun, usually easy game that could be annoying at times.

[Play Tilt]

Simple fun

Well not too good on the visuals, about the same graphics as pong. Not good by any standards.

But the gameplay, unlike the art, was good and fun. Simple as it may be, I found myself playing for several minutes trying to beat my previous highscore. Fairly addictive.

Overall- simple addicting game with poor art.

[Warp Forest]

Odd game indeed.

The art reminded me of a old Game Boy game, which isn't bad at all. It's no YuYu, but the graphics are still nice.

This was one of the strangest gameplay experences Ive ever had. It combines many gaming genres for one enjoyable game. The controls were set at good buttons.

Overall- so-so graphics and a strange yet good gameplay.

[Black Sheep Acres]

Best defense game I've ever played

The art was very stylish. All the animations were life like. By far the best designs for real life animals Ive ever seen on Newgrounds. All the graphics were top of the line.

The thing I usually hate about defense games is their steep learning curve- and you won't find one here. The game follows a solid and steady pace where even the slowest of the slow can figure out what's what. The upgrades were awsome, priced so that you could afford it when you needed it. The level of difficulty was near perfect.

Overall- very stylish and oringinal, stand out from the huge pack of defense games on Newgrounds. Bravo!
