MalTheDestroyer's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Toxic Cave]

Not bad!

I enjoyed it--right up until I inexplicably feel through the floor on the third level. :-) Also, the cut scenes didn't really make any sense. But really, it was fun, which is more than can be said for a lot of the games submitted here.

[rS Tower Defence VER3]

FAR too easy.

All I had to do was build a single storm tower near the spot where the enemies spawn--not one of them ever even made it within range of any of my other defenses! The idea is cool, but the fact that I could basically avoid ever having to do anything at all after building one tower means that this game desperately needs some serious rethinking.

[Russisch Terrorist]

Not bad, but...

...if you fail a level even once, you have to begin again from the very first level. That is simply poor design, and it caused me to stop wanting to play after the second time it happened.

Otherwise, though, this is a very simple but polished game, and it's actually sort of fun (in no small part because of how cartoony it is--if this were at all realistic, I'm sure it would be more horrifying than fun.)

I strongly suggest allowing players to restart from the last level they got to, and then resubmitting as a new version. I can't give this anything approaching a high score until you do.

[Nightmare House]

This honestly is not very good at all.

While the graphics were pretty decent for something made in Flash, a game like this really needs something more realistic to be scary (see Ex Mortis for a good example of what can be done in this genre.)

Add to this the fact that I was bored after about 30 seconds. The house is incredibly small and there isn't much in the way of logical puzzle-solving to keep my interest--hence, the 2 in interactivity.

I really don't understand why this is rated 4 out of 5. I must be missing something. Oh well.

[The Elder Scrolls: K.C.]

Nothing special.

Like Murloc RPG before it, this is a very polished game with excellent graphics and absolutely no plot or gameplay to back up the prettiness. It's a shame, really.

[3D racing]

Beautiful game, but lousy gameplay.

The graphics for this game are incredible--it could easily pass for something made with C++ and a dedicated (if not entirely cutting edge) engine.

Unfortunately, the gameplay is ugly by comparison. The cars control like greased lightning, but in a bad way. It's very nearly impossible to keep from skidding all over the place on even mild turns. Other reviewers attributed this to the ever-shifting camera--this may be the case, but it's something you really should have corrected during playtesting.

I can't give this game the marks it deserves when the most fundamental element of the gameplay--controlling your vehicle--is fatally flawed.

[Malapa's Challenge]

Annoying and boring at the same time

Oh dear God, that music during the intro/initial cutscene is SOOOOOOOOOO obnoxious! The decidedly combat system and buggey character movement certainly don't help matters, either. And what is the point of the transformation scene, exactly? Can Malapa only fight evil in skin-tight fetish gear?

You get a 6 for style, but I'm afraid that's about as good as it gets here.

[AD&D Engine - Fighter]

This game is really awful.

This game takes all of the things that are fun and good about AD&D (role playing a character, for example) and totally disregards them in favor of the things that are frustrating, annoying, and just plain dull (for example, playing a thinly-veiled assortment of statistics). It's too bad, really.
