MindChamber's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rings and Sticks]

very cool puzzle game

This game is well done, very engaging.

my only gripe is the visuals and sound.

Im sure more could have been done to make this look like a tree of some sort, I know it says sticks and rings but you mentioned this tree game in the art forum so I expected to see trees.

and the sounds make no sense, Sound of crackling wood wouldve worked better than the sound of moaning whales, or whatever it is you have there.

great game, just weak presentation.

Komix responds:

Thanks :)

Sorry, for creating these expectations. I just made that tree with that engine, but it wasn't planned to be like that in game.

This game is simplistic, and so are the trees. This is the new style I ve been trying. And I like how it looks. :)

Also, I like the sounds, cause they re unique. Cracking wood would never have that recognition effect.

Slow and Painful

yes 3D engine. yay..

but after you stopped being amazed by the engine, you're bored to tears by the gameplay..

Komix responds:

yeah, I should ve spent more time on it I guess.

I did those physical sleds, and then realized that I am not able to use them for an interesting gameplay.

but I had to finish it off for the AG contest.

Sorry for the bad show.

love the game

very smart little game, very addictive.

the one only gripe is not being able to unselect a bug once you see a better option. you should give people this option as it will make the game much more balanced

PhobiK responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!... Unselecting could be good, I didn't think about it, but maybe not being able to do it is part of making the right choice. Thanks for the review!

[White-Knight]

This is the reason why I chose you for Red Baron!

I cant believe I forgot to give this fun-ass game a review!

I loved it from the moment Tyler linked it to me.

definitly a fun lil jewel of a game

keep them comin!

FrostedMuffins responds:

Thank God I made this game then....
Thanks for the kind words :)

[To-Suta]

Not orginal

It's a rippoff of "peaceplane" by Dan paladin.

Its apearance, design and execution..

Buzzwerd responds:

Everyone kept saying that the art is very similar to that of Dan Paladins. But I don't see how it's design and execution are a rip off. You are a flying toaster that shoots rainbow lasers at tumors, that fly by in a japanese-like scrolling background. I honestly can't think of how much more original we can get...

[Nimian Flyer Legends]

Incredibly engaging.

This flash game had me in a trance from start to finish.

Very Strong sense of atmosphere, and ambiance.

there’s no question that you were heavily influenced by Panzer Dragoon.
The music, and setting and Monster designs are very reminiscent of Panzer Zwei , but the similarities end there, as the health and fire system was incredibly unique, and dare I say even more interactive than the Panzer series it was inspired from.
I love what you have done here, and this Latest in the Nimian series is a culmination of all the hard work, and experiences from the first versions.
There’s no doubt this is a console game in a flash format here.

My only complaint is the lack of levels that lead up to the bosses, and small glitches visible in the art. BUT hey this IS flash after all.

My only wish is that you get recognized by SEGA, and that they may bring you on, to consult on their Next Panzer game.

Because you have some truly unique and inventive ideas.

popopt responds:

thanks MindChamber for mentioning the other Nimian games - I couldn't have done this without building on what I learned from the previous games, and the next one will benefit from what I learned in this game and all of these reviews!

[Jingle Ballistics]

Very Awesome fighter!

I think you have the basis of a very awesome fighting engine!!

its very solid, and I thought the game was alot of fun. I only have a few minor complaints, and some bugs to report.

A couple of times I jumped over the opponent, and my character didn't turn around, I was stuck facing the wrong direction taking hits, till I jumped back. some times after the jump attack, the elf would get stuck mid air, and I was able to land alot of cheap shots this way.

aside from the elf who was already fairly quick.
the fast and fierce attacks weren't varied in enough... throwing a quick punch shouldnt take the same amount of time as throwing a fierce one. Aside from the Elf I wasn't able to let off a flurry of quick attacks, and end it with a fierce one. It would also help of the attacks were more visually different as well. as from that, the attacks needed more of an overal reach as well.

All in all a great fighting flash game. Closest so far to the arcades!!
keep it up!!

gavD responds:

Thanks for the heads up on the mid air bug... Nice review!

[Alkie Kong]

Hahah yeah baby!

Fish is an Old Schooler at heart just like me!. Which is why I love this game. It plays on your nostalgic chord, while delivering new gameplay elements with the older crowd in mind.

I love this game and everything it represents!!

Thumbs up baby!

PsychoGoldfish responds:
