SlingBang's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pool Game Star]

Really needs spin added. So many shots in pool require top, back or side spin to successfully position the ball for the next shot. I agree with HerbieG that the aiming really should be behind the cue ball, like you are pulling the cue back. Also, you could control the power in the same move by how far back you pull. That is pretty standard in most pool games.

I liked how your guy got stuck to the side of a block like he was holding on... until he doesn't climb up, just falls off, which I didn't like.

unoffensive graphics but no story, special moves, or animation... It seems more like a tutorial level than an actual game.

[Epic City Builder 2: AE]

I liked this game. Reminds me of Sim City from 20 years ago. Now it's a free Flash game.

Good selection of buildings and well balanced. It REALLY needs another zoom OUT level or two. My city is a mere 20,000 and already I'm scrolling around way too much. Some buildings to combat pollution like Parks or Recycling centers would be a good addition as well.

One odd thing was the game would go back to the main screen and show advertisements every 10 minutes or something. That should be removed.

[Shoot ! Be the Champion.]

BAD!! You are the bad shooter! You have to train! HAHAHA. That was the best part of this game. I laughed.

Unfortunately the rest of the game is not so funny. It's just shooting at a target. Period. Also, the gun's aiming is ridiculous. I was aiming near the bottom right of the screen to hit the bullseye. Why does that make sense. I don't need to train... I need a new gun!

The best part of this game is most of the Medals actually require skill to achieve. Many games give medals far too easily.

The 'worst' part is it's not clear how to play properly at the start resulting in many players saying it's boring. There should be a basic strategy guide included. Most people quit after one try if they don't understand. I might be daft but it took me 3 full games to learn these basics:

Move all the balls into color groups until you have as close to every ball of ONE color together and then pop them. Every time you pop any balls, you get more grey Xs and more balls go to sleep.

Only use bombs to destroy the grey Xs at the BOTTOM of the screen. Any other use is a waste. Try to surround the bomb with grey Xs before popping it. Bombs have the added benefit of waking up sleeping balls.

It is vital to be able to plan 3 moves ahead when collecting colors together as often once you move a ball, you can't move it back if it was a mistake. It is normal to stare at the screen for 5 minutes without doing anything, just planning.

This is a really well made game. Not simplistic at all.

[Water Mania]

Level Select is in the pause menu.

Neat game idea. Nice variation on the cannon aiming game. Well made and nice graphics/animation. The only annoying part was every level under 20 was simplistic and then 21 was really hard and 22... impossible... I watched the walkthru and tried 10 times. didnt work...

So other than that... good game.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Glad everyone likes the burning toilets :)

[FamousPaintings Parodies4]

Every famous painting here was covered in high school art class so it was enjoyable to play as opposed to those annoying puzzle games where every question requires a google search...

Funny parodies and well made flash. Bonus pics were great because they stumped me (except obvious Nirvana one)

[Bonfire]

Really enjoyable.

I intended to just play this game for maybe 10 minutes while waiting for my laundry to finish, but after figuring out CO2 maximization strategies and seeing how the upgrades are linked together, as well as madly clicking for maximum effect, I'm now at over 400,000 CO2/sec and my laundry has gone moldy in the washing machine. Darn it!

[MANGATHA]

Game is well-made but really pointless. Basically it's just an advanced way to do a coin-flip.

[Crash Town]

I don't know why all these reviewers are saying the driving is so unrealistic. It is VERY realistic in every non-British-colony country on earth! (except for the multi-car pile-ups) This game actually makes me nostalgic of driving my motorbike in Asia... Good times... Dangerous times...

Hilariously fun game.
