Lurid138's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Electropede]

Rather surprising!
when I saw that an arcade game built after Centipede had made it to the front page, I'm not going to lie, I cringed.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one!
the game has a " rush and go" feel that we're seeing a lot in today's arcade reboots, but this is a good thing! It creates a hectic feel that is almost panicked and VERY tense. The upgrades are brutal when stacked at gross amounts. The fact that you DIDN'T allow carry over with them is a good thing, it adds a hardcore aspect to the game that feels genuine, without just being flat out difficult and annoying.
the music does get a bit bothersome, but only when it restarts each level, the track itself is great and maybe if allowed to continuous play, it would be a better, more chaotic experience, lending to the entire "Panicked", this is getting heavier and heavier feel. Allowing the game to build with the music.
I like the animation, but I have to say, if turned into a seizure-bot of bright colors and pulsing, this would be beyond epic. The music would certainly lend well to a more modern retro style of presentation. With some polish, this could be one for the books!
Over all, I'm glad I took the plunge and hit play.
It's addictive, pulse pounding and flat out fun.
Kudos!

you're surprised that a centipede remake can be fun? - man it's a true classic! ...but seriously I agree with pretty much all your points, positive and negative, so thanks for the well considered review.

Dont ever punish the player for playing

Killing a player for collect a jem is like me beating you for eating because you're hungry.....it makes no sence. Don't needlessly punish players because it makes the game "difficult", it really just makes it annoying.

Well, yeah. I never got around to a gem-saving feature or a score for it. They are strictly for entertainment value and test of skill. I'm sorry. :c
And yeah, I'm not sure if you're referring to level 2, but I'm sorry you hate it. :[

[On The Run From A Mugger]

Not for a young gun.

It worked, so there is that! It responded well and quick and what little animation you had ran smooth. Just keep it up and let's see what you can do!

Yusuf responds:

thanks!

It works!

It just needs work.

thanks "scott"

[Bomboozle 2]

Front page worthy!

Highly addictive and a ton of fun. The game is VERY responsive and the animation are smooth and clear without taking up any time from the drop of the other blobs.
If marketed to the right people and site, you could be in possession of the next big puzzle game like Bejewled or Blitz!

Megadev responds:

We showed it to quite a few portals and sponsors but couldn't even get a decent sponsorship deal for some reason. The game seems to be going down well though, so we'll definitely be thinking about Bomboozle 3, although it could be another year or so before that happens - we've got a stack of other ideas to get through first. :)
