Pico Brawler 2012
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars 2 weeks ago
Not bad, but it could definitely use improvement. There's not a lot of incentive to use more than the standard kick combo. It has the best reach and will get the job done, plus the AI seems to rely on it way too much so that makes it your best bet. At the same time that makes the game a little boring since it doesn't encourage variety. The art is nice. The animation is decent but the bad guys should react to attacks a little more. The controls are rather clunky and sluggish. When you attempt to turn Pico around to attack someone behind him he stalls for a full second or so, meaning you have to turn around in advance or else he'll simply attack the air while he gets beat up from behind. In a game like this, that's EXTREMELY annoying. Also there wasn't a whole lot to this game, I'd like to move to new places and stuff after clearing a screen but instead more guys were thrown at me in this same room.
All in all it's fun to look at and it's pretty cool for a short time, but lack of variety in enemies and scenery, and the encouragement to rely on a single combo make this lose it's shine all too quickly.
The turning delay is intentional to give it a hint of iRL flavor and force you to think before you act. It's not that hard to execute your reversal attacks when you need to strike behind you. Air kick will also change direction immediately.
I think you're right about the kicking combo. I've switched around the numbers a little, which I hope will fix it.
I'll be sure to work on the controls and add more backgrounds in future titles, thanks for that insight.

Though it was neat to see and hear all of those old Nintendo things, I got as far as that bubblecrab thing in the zelda level and realized it's telling me I'm getting achievements but none of them are actually unlocking. I've reloaded this page three times and it still says I have no achievements. As a result, my desire to play this game any further has disintegrated.

Meh...
The Good:
-The climbing is fun.
-Everything feels fast.
-Anything feels better when combos are involved.
-The music, sound effects, and beating people up are all really awesome for the first 15-20 seconds.
The Bad:
-Not much of a game, just "mash this key over and over while you listen to techno!"
-Sprites in general are overused and pretty much always look crappy, do some animation, dude!
-I can understand momentum carrying you when you run, but when taking a single step feels like you're on ice there's a problem.
-Secrets aren't fun to find when the creator of the game basically leads you to them by the wrist before you even play. People are smart, and newgrounds has thousands of visitors every day. If there's a secret, trust that someone will find it. It's a little condescending to assume that no one with internet access can find your secrets without your help.
-If there IS some oddly specific secret that no one could find by luck, wait 6 months or so, and THEN drop the bomb. People who were done with your game will come back, plus you will have given the diehard easter egg hunters time to take their crack at it and they won't feel like they're having easy mode forced upon them.

Map Travel

Great!
I disagree with the last reviewer. I can perfectly picture piloting my airship across the map while this music plays. It has a grand feeling of exploration and adventure to it. Very well done!
Suncraft - Emotions
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars April 13, 2011
Interesting...
The beginning was really beautiful and seemed like the type of music perfect for a sad part in a flash. I was pretty surprised whenever it changed into practically a different song. XD
I think you should try your hand at something gentle like that.
Thanks for the review.
Yeah I see what you mean. The start is very soothing/relaxing and then progresses into a more bouncy/happy tune and then finally a crazy sound that you can lose control to. Thats why I decided to call it Emotions ;)
I don't think you could class it under one genre...?
I love experimenting so I might drift to orchestral for a try soon!

Hmm...
Sounds like you started with an awesome song with a kickass sound and then right when you were about to start singing the floor dropped out and you began plummeting to your death. Ah, screamo.
Funny you call us scremo.....we hate scremo music ;)

Kinda neat, simple and enjoyable art style, but you lose points for rating this "E" when it has bloody parts and the F word. I don't like being lied to.
I only lie to protect you.

Kind of disturbing to look at, and it's unfortunate that there's no background really, but I like the coloring.

I think I would have enjoyed it more if Woody didn't look like a drag queen, but it was still fun. There were a lot of sexual jokes and the way Woody seemed equally fascinated with the girl zombie's boobs and the boy zombie's penis (which he apparently fondled long enough to tie to his car rather than leaving another's penis alone as most males would) has led me to believe that Woody is the horniest bisexual I've ever seen animated. Though that sort of writing isn't my thing, the animation wasn't half bad. You might want to add some end screen though so that it doesn't endlessly loop.

I like the art and animation, the voice acting is good and the writing is funny, but I don't think this flash is... Y'know... Accurate. Goku is insanely strong, yes, but Superman is hand-of-God strong and invulnerable when kryptonite or extended eclipses aren't involved. Goku wins a popularity contest no doubt, but the REASON no one (myself included) likes Superman is BECAUSE he's invulnerable to everything. Superman is a boring character with one variable.
Will he win this fight?
If kryptonite is present = No.
Else = Yes.
