Sami-Hikari's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Disney Logos in Flash!]

I must say, it's darn good.

After reading all the other reviews I can't not leave one of my own. I saw this when it first came out and thought it was absolutely genius. To all those complaining about the use of tracing, how ELSE are we going to replicate the logos? I doubt anyone would want to completely redraw it from scratch - that would just result in a shoddy looking logo, and nobody wants Disney to come off looking bad. I DO like the Disney logo, and I'm not planning on recreating it, but I'm very glad I saw this and I think it's fun enough to just watch the various steps of creating it - it's also nice to know that I CAN create it if I so choose.

I do wish that those who left negative reviews didn't bother. What isn't useful to someone will undoubtedly be useful to someone else. After all, even Disney wasn't original - for a great deal of their films they used Anderson and Grimm tales.
A++ recreation. Good job.

LordHayden responds:

Yes, someone who has sense.

[Bioshock Soundboard v2]

Thank you!

Ah, as if I didn't absolutely LOVE the first soundboard you made, this was just brilliant to go along with it! So many more options. I have to give you bonus points just for the effort of adding so much more to the sounds, honestly. Some gorgeous quotes, seriously - you really chose lines to encompass the eerie lifestyle of Rapture. Can I commission you to make the soundboards for Bioshock 2 and 3 as well? Hey, even the movie! You'd be my hero for life if you did that.
You've made my day though, getting to relive Bioshock again.
Definitely recommending this for the soundboard collection. Great job.

M1K3-B responds:

Wow, thanks! Was a lot of fun making it too. Bioshock is just to awesome.

[Zombie Attack R]

(Thumbs up)

I think I recall playing the original, and yes, this is so much better, thank you for updating it. I didn't mind the lack of sound - I always have music blasting anyway and pausing it to play games on NG is always such a hassle. The only thing I could recommend for later editions is perhaps a scoring system, and something keeping track of scores (not necessarily a wordwide highscores, as I've heard that can be complicated, but maybe a 'your best score' type of thing). Time limits wouldn't be half-bad either, but as it was, the graphics were simple, clean-cut and very improved and it was actually pretty addictive. Keep working on it and you might start getting a lot more praise for it. As it was, I had quite a bit of fun with it. Nice going. <3

chinkeeyong responds:

Haha, a long-time fan! A "your best score" feature would be slightly difficult to implement as it requires writing data to the user's disk, which I have no idea how to do. I purposely never wanted to put music in Zombie Attack at all, but player preference forces me to add some in the next part of the series. :P As for time limits, they're actually a great idea (I need to milk NG members for ideas more often) and I'll try to implement them sometime. Thx!!

[Forest of Mythology]

Mm, I liked it.

It was a good effort for a first flash. I'm a big fan of mythology so naturally it drew me in right away. I felt it needed a bit more variety, however. Medusa and other such things are a little generic; perhaps more Nordic references to coincide with Greek myth? Either way, that's up tp you. Still, it was very well thought out; good questions, too, I enjoyed thinking about them. Managed to escape my first time through the game, so all's well that ends well. I'm looking forward to seeing it upgraded in the future. I'll keep a look out for it then.
<3 Much love, it's good to see a fellow mythology fan around.

Serazahr responds:

Thanks for the review, it the best way to improve something.
I am already adding new questions (3 new ones so far).
Also I am putting the harder questions towards the end, so that when the number of questions increases further, I could start adding checkpoints.
Also more Norse to come. (Get your Poetic Edda out ;)

[Tsukiko's Dress Up]

Ah, so very cute!

It's gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! The character design is very smooth and clean-cut, and not at all rough or pixelated. I love the simplicity of her form, too. Very beautiful lines. Great clothing, too. I loved the poofy tulle red skirt. It was probably the closest item to my own style you had in the game. Perhaps if you make another one, have more clothes like you said up there, or have some accessories, or other such things, because that would have given it the extra spark it needed, but apart from that, and perhaps adding in another hair color besides pink, everything was perfect! Well done.

shidabeeda responds:

aw thanks :) yeah this one is pretty much my warm up to big better things

[Otaku Dress Up]

AH, fantastic!

I absolutely loved it. It's so hard to find really good dress-up games nowadays, and yours was really well designed and fun to mess around with. Loved the little accessories (such as the Death Note and the cat ears) and the Lolita options were great. For your first dress up game, you've done so brilliantly! You should be proud. Good music, too; very fitting for an Otaku game. I really hope that you'll make more in the future.

kitsune2736 responds:

Thank you,
once I learn more about flash I will create more games and such. ^^-

[Blackguard: The Cave]

I liked the style of it.

Absolutely adored the rhyme riddle. Finished the game in one attempt without managing to make a mistake. I found it enjoyable and I'm sure Tolkien would be honored you dedicated it to him. Once touched by his work, always touched, and you show that by what you've made. Good job.

CoffinJoe responds:

Very charming review. Reading through tolkien's matteriel, you sort of become good friends with the old fellow.

thanks again ;D

[Mel Remembers]

<(^.^)>

Hmm, this is pretty interesting. It'd be good if you could keep working on this and come up with a whole in-depth conversation, just to see how far you could take it, because I don't see this sort of project around much. I'm giving it a five purely for originality. Cool idea.

mrkomiks responds:

I might still do that, I was thinking of having him like, ask whether you prefer a peach or a pineapple, and then present you with one when you greets you back.
There's so much you can do with this.

[Chrisdoll]

^_^

Hah, pretty sweet. Overall it's a very simple game, not too interactive, but I liked it. The doll itself was cute and clear-cut. Nice first attempt.

giovanni808 responds:

Thx ^^

[Dolphin Dive]

Excellent and addictive.

Good choice of game, it's wonderful to play and got me hooked from the first play. Although it didn't register one time when my dolphin hit a bubble, and that caused me to lose. Perhaps a minor glitch? Anyway, great game, keep it up.

vaisaga responds:

Hi, thanks
do you mean that didn't add score for the first time?
yup,cause the formula is Depth*10 :)
Thank you for playing :D
Peace!
