[My Tutorials ep. 1]

Repeating material...

Always useful to have tutorials on NG but this doesn't tell you anything that the Flash help files don't tell you already... if you must make fairly short tutorials try to cover new material. Still, if it helps at least one person it should be here.

[Foamy Invaders 2]

Not one of your best games

I didn't think this was too great to be honest - I don't know if those white brick things were walls to be avoided or not, but they didn't hurt my ship at all... so it's just a case of lining up Foamy when he appears, hammer the mouse button about 10 times and that's it. A bit dull really.

[J3nnica Dress Up]

Fine dress-up

One of the better dress-up games on NG - loads of different options, good graphics, didn't find any of the hidden stuff but that'll just add to the quality. Dress-up fans will probably enjoy this a lot.

[Gauntlet Game]

Good game

Not bad, if rather glitchy. A nice flash version of Gauntlet, several levels, lots of options and things to do. Good fun, it would be better if some of the bugs were removed.

[Unfinished Shooter]

Not brilliant

Ignoring the fact that it's unfinished, this is average at best - shooting various foodstuffs isn't my idea of fun. It grows repetitive very quickly, and it doesn't look nice or have much of a challenger to it. Boring shooting action.

[Saving in Flash Games]

Useful tutorial

A good tutorial - while not many games that will appear on Newgrounds require the ability to save a game, for those that do this should be of some help. Quick and useful, looks nice as well.

[Spike Trouble]

Cool game again

Another good game - it's like Asteroids only with a bit of originality and some thought required. Some retro-rockets would have been a nice addition, but it's just a thought. Graphics were good and the sound suited the game.

Goatchrist responds:

Thanks, I searched long for a fitting sound :)

[the clock mafia ep.2]

Yeah, levels. Cool.

That right click play thing was pretty funny, I have to admit. Other than that it's just pictures of all the levels. Mildly useful I guess.

[Championship Cock Fighter]

Good older game

That's pretty good. Needs two players, obviously, but it's certainly a different fighting game that works well, looks good and has some nice sound effects. An underrated entry, definitely.

[Snowman Present Catcher]

Pretty dull

It's not great, interesting for about a minute then tiresome. Doesn't help that the scoring system doesn't work properly. Nice graphics, needed some sounds.
