Tomsan's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Xmasocalypse]

not much complaints about lagg, but I had serious lag issues. after lvl 4-5 or so it became very annoying.

for the rest. easy game, little upgrades, repetitive. not bad, good holiday gamer.

nice graphs

Thanks, Tomsan! Happy holidays and good luck! :)

a bit short but fun and simple.

the level creator was very buggy. I tried creating a level but the king behaved very weird in the level and objects were placed on different locations then I put it. there were no unvisible items behind other items or something. just seemed to be broken

Was the "overlay" Layer selected in the editor?
I forgot to document it, but anything placed in the "Overlay" layer doesn't get affected by the Camera. It's confusing, admittedly, and I'll be sure to change it soon.

Thanks for giving feedback on the editor!

nice game, like the variety. level 21 started to get a bit hard but I managed, then lvl 22 was to difficult for me to solve. or actually i didnt really wanna try anymore.

[Rocket Santa 2]

hmm not to impressed. laggy for starters and with such a game its annoying. I also dont see the point in the coins being off screen and very hard to reach. the game is to much zoomed in imo. I like it better if you have some overview.

Upgrades work, but I dont really notice any mayor difference.

I made it to the top after a while and was disappointed by the ending. so lame.

early on I had the mission funny to fart, I thought it had something to do with the text "quick pull my finger" it annoyed the fuck out of me, I later realized I had to land on the X to get that one, but it I got it for the first time after I reached finish.

The mission are pretty lame as well, just "launch 8 time" "get 3 tokens" etc. Those arent really missions, they are just things that happen during a run. not well thought through it seems.

You had 5, 10 and 25$ upgrades, but what happens if I fully upgrade 25 and not 5. does upgrading 5 even matter then? Didnt seem so. kinda silly when I spend money on an upgrade thats useless a few runs later.

there is nothing in the air expect power ups and coins. zero enemies, like I stated before you just kinda sit out the game with no reward movie or anything.

Not sure where the extra 5th upgrade was for I reached my goal long before I completed my missions, and I think I completed my missions quite fast. I did however had mission 'launch 8 times' at the very end making it tedious.

I have to say that I always love these kinda games, but this is a poor version srry. 2 for effort

[De-Energize]

well... I am not really enjoying this. I needed some time to figure out what I was doing, but even then I did really know what I was doing. controls are weird in the city and you dont seem to see the enemies, only on the map. what happened is that I played the game on the minimap soley and not even looked at my dot. Also I often was reset on a level while I didnt see myself touching a enemie on the minimap, but then again that minimap is so small. So yeah a few stars for effort also considering its a 48 hours entry, but not really worth it. srry

[Deep Sea Hunter]

fun, but it needs some form of ending. A super treasure somewhere at the bottom of the ocean. This ocean of yours seems to be bottomless.

[Death Count]

I like these kinda games, but they need to be challenging. I agree that levels need to be doable, but if I can finish hard on my first try with 4 deaths of which 3 in the last lvl the challenging part is gone. So oke game, but make it harder. Also the levels could be made a bit longer/bigger

[Pinata Hunter 2]

hmm, bit boring. Looks good but wtf am I doing here? Also buggy! I bought the purse not and it was full in no time, didnt notice the capacity of only 40. Since I spend all my other money I couldnt afford the trailer and thus wasnt able to continue. When I tried again I could buy the first 3 bags that were empty but as soon as I bought the pizaa box or ikea box they were full from the start.

[Maximum Frustration 2]

not as hard as I expected. I did need the walkthrough once. at the strange block in lvl 12. I dont think anyone can figure that one out by himself since there is no logic. for the rest challenging game.

@kikoshou; its not entirely true. the special blocks may be the blocks they present to be or not, but if they are not they are often crucial blocks anyway (i.e. only landable blocks) so they do help. Often enough I could predict my path by those 'special' blocks..

Logic is our worst enemy at times.

[Flippin' Dead]

nice game, finished it and took a while. The most problematic achievement was my very last one. 2 min on 1 health. was pretty difficult but I managed by not killing any enemies so as to stay on a low score. The eye was beat the first round after I got the "eye always open" special.

It was inviting to get the achievements especially since your score went up fast after level ups.

Still the fact that you have to start from scratch is kinda tedious, its only the challenges that keeps it going.

the rainbow mode seemed of I mean I just bounced around the screen a lot. it didnt feel right.
