jonthomson's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Extreme Gardening]

Decent

Decent enough quick little game to kill some time, simple concept, nothing spectacular in presentation, but it's fun enough to play for a while

[Breakout War]

Dull

Will second what other people have said, the physics are wrong, not being able to change the angle of the ball is bad, this is little more than a nice looking Breakout clone with poor implementation.

[Starcraft Soundboard - TE]

Does what it says

It's a soundboard. It does Starcraft. Decent enough quality/filesize.

[Defend Your Keg!]

Decent enough game

Fun enough to play for a while, increasingly frenetic smash tv-style shooting action works well, good soundtrack, probably lacks enough variety to be worth playing more than a few times though. Molotov firing mechanism isn't the easiest.

[Doom Triple Pack]

Very faithful replica

Really quality conversion, my fairly slow PC also accurately replicates the slow play that was somewhat of a feature on the original. Would have been nice with sound, and having a keychange feature (unless I missed it) would be very useful, the combination of fire/open/strafe is not really that intuitive when using arrow keys. Also seemed as if enemies are doing less damage than normal, but that could be me holding onto armour for longer. Well worth playing and nice work on it.

[Mass Attack]

Interesting concept

Not a bad idea, pretty addictive but it gets tricky quite quickly. Music is OK but gets annoying fast, turning off is fine but a choice of tracks would be better.

[Micro Racers]

Decent stuff

Not much wrong with this at all, looks solid and animates well with a good soundtrack, controls are simple and functional, the game's nothing spectacular but you can have a bit of fun with it. Only problem is that it becomes way too easy if you can get in the lead, which is the only hard part. Could have used a couple more tracks as well.

[Crazy Shuttle]

Classic old fun

Easy to forget how well this plays, controls are simple and it's violent as you like. A remake of this that's online and multiplayer or some kind of high score system would be awesome.

[KITTY SAEVS TEH DAY!!!]

lolcats

Simple but funny, nice little way to kill a few minutes.

[Aquacubes]

Tough difficulty curve

Pretty fun to play, with simple controls, nice sounds and graphics, only problem is that the difficulty gets ramped up way too quickly and it goes from being a piece of cake to rather tricky in one level.
