Optimos's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alice is Dead - Ep 3]

As short as it is, I've loved this series so much. I mean, everything: the story, the music, the dark ambient... If there's something I must complain about, it's the lag, which at times was desperating. But I simply am sad there's no series like this nowadays.

[Closure]

Such a classic. A great puzzle game with a unique concept. My only complains are the lag and some minor issues I had with the door in some levels (which I solved by setting the quality to high). Awesome game.

[ReGurBitate]

I really liked this. It's an original concept, and it's greatly executed for its simplicity. Not gonna lie, I'm addicted to it.

[Flying Chops]

So I've not destroyed any circular saw in the whole 1 and a half hour that I've been playing, and you expect me to suddenly destroy 10 in a single run? Such a shame cause I was really enjoying this game until that point.

[Dimension Interlopers]

Spent hours trying to get to level 30 in Caos mode. On a Friday evening. I finally achieved it... and didn't get the medal. I have no words to express my disappointment.

GeckoMLA19097 responds:

I'm sorry to hear that man. :( did the ingame popup showed? I coded the medal to appear after beating level 30 not upon reaching it.

I had double check the code before answering and everything is correctly setup, so my guess is the server got disconnected while you were playing. The current stage score for you that the server saved was level 23 so maybe that's when it happened.

So I got more than 1M of score TWICE, and I didn't get the 1M, 500K, 5K, 1.5K nor 1K medals...
Aside from that it's a decent snake game.

[Bound Below]

Excellent. Absolutely excellent.
I highly enjoyed all the levels from this game, even tho some of the final ones made me want to ragequit. But I was so addicted to this that I just couldn't. Good job.

[flash world quiz.]

You should fix that bug that ALWAYS shows up in the marathon mode and which makes it impossible to beat. But you probably won't do sh*t since this game is 4 years old.

[MissileStorm]

Okay, I really enjoyed this shooter. It has 10 campaign levels, a final boss, a survival mode and even a kill count to help those who are trying to get the medals. There's not much that can be suggested to add or change. Maybe a clearer layout, since it wasn't until the 4th time playing the 3rd level that I noticed there are upgrades (I was already planning to suggest to add upgrades, I would have looked like a fool lol).
Also the final boss was short and intense (I'm not 100% sure but I think I'd have enjoyed more a longer battle).
All that said, great game.

Hi Optimos
Thanks for the review, I really needed to get some positive feedback like this. I know the game is not perfect and wont suit everyone(even though these reviews are also important because I need to know why some people didnt like it also), but its nice to hear that you and the few reviews before yours actually enjoyed the multidirectional dodge and shoot gameplay. I have many ideas for missilestorm2 that I hope will address a lot the issues in the game(I know the UI is a problem I hate making UI's :D ). And I hope for far more complex boss fights in the future, like them having weak armor spots etc. If you have any ideas on gameplay you would like to see in the next one, feel free to PM me. Thanks again for the review.

[Cat Advemture]

I promised myself not to lose my nerves while writing this review, and I'm struggling not to do so.
I just managed to beat the boss after 3 freakin' hours. I don't get why you make such hard games but they sure catch you once you start. The graphics are very simple but the gameplay is incredibly well thought. All your games look impossible to beat yet they ARE possible to beat, you just need great timing (sometimes even perfect timing) and, of course, a loooooooooooot of patience.

Anyways I'd have appreciated if you had made the boss "a bit" easier. Or at least that the medal for beating it was worth 100 points instead of 50. Either way the simple fact of having beaten such a hard game is enough, heh.
