2 Game Reviews w/ Response

All 10 Reviews

Possibly the hardest game I've had to review yet.

Why is it so hard? Well, for starters, this is the author's first submission, so it's hard not to be overly critical on his work. Second, I know close to nothing when it comes to making something work with Flash and whatnot, so it'd sound a bit hypocritical coming from me. That aside, let's get this over with.

Graphics: 7.5/10
Obviously high marks for sticking with the original DooM graphics, and add another point on top of that for some fairly good background designs. I've taken a point off, however, because it almost looks like the enemies are missing a frame or two from their animation. Perhaps it's just how they're moving, or something.

Sound: 10/10
Come on, it's the f---ing DooM soundtrack and SFX. What's not to love?

Controls: 7.5/10
I'm going to sound like the Angry Video Game Nerd for saying this, but 'up' should not equal 'Jump'. Also, as many have already pointed out, it's difficult to run-n-shoot, and it's hard for me to jump-n-shoot, which is almost esential at points when dealing with certain monsters, because...

Gameplay: 5/10
...your hit detection is off, or whatever the heck you call it. Because of either a design choice, a limitation by flash, or whatever, you HAVE to have the monster lined up with the gun in order to hit it. Which is almost game-breaking at times when dealing with the Cacodemons and Lost Souls. There were also parts where I couldn't get past monsters (who were below me). I couldn't shoot them, I couldn't jump over them, and I couldn't use my Melee weapons, either. And while I'm at it...because of the hit detection, the Melee weapons are rendered rather useless, except for those who are considered suicidal. This is something that you definately need to work on, for it is crippling to the game itself.

Overall: 7/10
Once again, it's your first title; And while there are the noted problems above that heavily impact the game, I cannot judge too harshly. I mean, fixing those alone would bump the Gameplay score up to at least an 8. I do hope that these other reviewers and their waves of 6s and 5s don't deter you from trying again. Like a diamond in the sack of coal, you've just got to keep at it.

P.S. If any other reviewer feels the need to be verbally pwned due to an attempt to argue with me, then feel free. I'm always up for a fight. Or, should you, the author, feel compelled to reply, then freely do so either via a reply here, or through a PM.

fack a monkey skull.

Damn nicely done!

If you don't mind some more compliments, you need to give yourself a pat on the back for this.

Graphics:9.0
Even when I toned them down a bit, they were sitll quite sharp. The detail and animation was noticable and fluid. And then there was the blood...it was there, but you didn't do it in exaggerated amounts like some people do. One thing I would like to see in the sequel is some more zombie appearances, or something.

Sound: 10
If I had the cash, i'd ask to buy CDs from the guy who did the music. Man, that was good music...I hope there's more of it in the next one.
The sound effects were also effective, fitting in nicely with the game.

Controls: 9.0
Good thinking when doing the Guitar Hero sort of thing. Not only does it fit with the game's style (for obvious reasons), it's fun. I was really happy to have the extra control options, but I was sort of disappolinted that I had to revert to the old scheme when I got the Lawnmower Blades.

Gameplay: 9.5
Allright, i'll admit it: I sucked badly at this. (I lost on Super Easy mode. Go ahead and laugh at me...) But, I still didn't stop playing..it's just too addicting. I love these zombie defense games, and adding rock into the mix doens't help me when it comes to stop playing.

Overall: 9.5/10
I can't give you a perfect 10/10, because of some smaller flaws. But, just as long as you make the sequel as fun as the first, and just put some more songs in, I think I might just give a 10.

P.S.
Does the guy who did the music have a way of contacting him?

JohnnySedona responds:

You don't seem like the kind of reviewer that gives out a 10 easily, so I'm stoked on the 9.5. The music is available here on NG, and NAL1200 has music available for download here, and on iTunes.

Eh? Yes, I am aware that I have no bloody image. I blame Newgrounds' strict but understandable limits. Until ethier they give in and enlarge the size, or I succumb to the .Jpeg Format, it will remain empty.
