SlingBang's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Turbo Golf]

This is likely the best golf game I have ever played in my life. Fun, funny, clever idea, challenging even with upgrades, and a fair bit of random luck made a very good combination.

Only negative: It seemed that some Bonus features remained grayed out. I guess you have to go to Kongregate to get them?

[MiniGolf Pro]

Well, that was weird. I got a hole-in-one on almost every level until the water ones... Then I was taking 30 shits (not a typo) per hole.

Playing Under water was a fun new idea however!

[The Platform]

This game was hilarious! I kept laughing each time I got hit in the back of the head with the missiles. Excellent!

[Idle Evolution]

Yah, When I started the game 13 days ago, I was rank #42,000 something. When I had 2 medals left (rich and 50 continues) I was rank 1200 something, and now that I just finished, I am ALSO rank #2... So, it's not actually comparing all players...

Still a fun 2 weeks! I cannot understand why this game was so addictive either, but I just HAD to finish everything.

If you make a sequel, consider focusing on combining elements to make molecules like H20 and C02 then adding energy to make sugar and starch, and so on to actually form more and more complex molecules, with the end of the game being actual life. That is what I originally thought the game was going to be from the description.

Not sure why you have a disclaimer about racism since this game is not even remotely racist, and neither was the Rwandan genocide. I would not Blam this game for being offensive but I would Blam it for being crap.

Firstly, you don't 'honor' genocide... by killing... how did this idea even enter your mind. That's like honoring a rape victim by making 'rape' porn... I feel you were terribly misguided in your entire idea for this game. I actually like hardcore stuff but this was just... crap.

Some explanation:

There are no instructions what to do. You have to use the mouse AND the 'W' key to move? You move slower than a turtle. No one runs or fights you when you shoot people. I thought there were only 5 bullets until I guessed to use 'R' to reload. There is no skill involved. Just mash the mouse and 'R' buttons to change the black pixels into red pixels...
Music is... fitting at least. +0.5 stars.
The game is programmed properly. +0.5 stars.
Very poor judgement for even making a game like this. -1 star.

Luminem responds:

The game itself isn't the "honor", the game doesn't match with reality. The honor, it's to remember what happened there by the 'story'.
I understand you don't like it but you say things are a bit strange for example. Obviously, you've to reload cause if it's 'crap' now imagine a game where you've only to press the mouse. I don't know if you've realized you can run pressing shift key and to end with, this isn't GTA my budget is of 0$. I'm just one person, no a 100 people studio.
Thanks you so much for your useful review.

[Firefighters Truck 3]

Well, the ENDLESS siren is annoying and the fact you must park the truck facing the right direction is ridiculous. English is awesome though: "Need reinforcements to fight conflagration." Ha ha ha!

My 4 year old thought it was fun to play, so that's something.

[Baltic Gambit]

Well, I wasn't put off by the minimalist graphics, I didn't mind the card game idea, or the obscure political plotline. I usually like complicated strategy games...

The problem with this one is after 30 minutes of 'strategically' improving the 6 resource categories, blocking enemy attacks, placing spies to capture hexes, then losing them 2 turns later, suddenly the enemy plays a gain 4 Victory Points card! WTF! He only needs 8VP to win the game... so, I just started discarding cards until I got my VP cards (or the 'search your deck' for a VP card) instead. 10 minutes later I won. Why? That makes everything else in the game pointless...

I'd suggest getting rid of the Victory Points and dramatically increase the power of all the other cards so you can actually advance across the map. It takes massive work to conquer even one hex and then you lose it in 2 turns anyways. There are also ridiculously powerful cards in the game like the ones that bring in an ally (gain 30 more hexes!) or 'disable supply to ALL adjacent hexes' combined with 'conquer ALL disabled hexes' -I used that one TWICE to conquer 20 hexes in one move... Seems a little unbalanced, not to mention illogical. Strategy games should not be random luck.

I still liked the game but it really needs balancing out to be fun.
