Sami-Hikari's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Karoshi:Suicide Salaryman]

Brilliance.

I played this a couple days ago but I figured I might as well leave a review even if it is late. Finished the entire game - every level is fantastic. Sometimes I had to laugh at how challenging or interesting some of them were. The graphics are very simple but also very enjoyable and I've played this game four times in a row without once getting bored.

For those people asking how to beat certain levels (I don't see why, as it's a fairly easy game to beat), I think there's an online walkthrough somewhere, but you have to google it.

Anyway, back on to the subject of the game, it really entertained me and naturally it's extremely addictive. I'm especially a fan of the level where you get to plan your own path to the spikes by clicking to form blocks. Nice gameplay. Great concept, too.
<3 Much love.

[music euphoria]

Impressive.

Wow, this really IS similar to Rez. I figured when I opened it that there'd be no way you could replicate it well, but you've done a lot better than I could have expected. It's simple to play, rhythmic and I love the way that the music coincides with the execution of the green squares into stars. I also like the concept a lot better without the 3D guy flying around like Rez has. That always got on my nerves. Nice adaption, smooth gameplay, and quite fun. <3

[Meat Boy]

Fascinating.

This is one of the strangest characters I've ever encountered, but the game is just so addictive. I especially love the blood that squirts from Meat Boy whenever he happens to land or hit a wall; it's particularly visually effective. Interesting concept/story basis, and really it's just a blast to play! It's not as hard as you make it out to be though; managed to get through every level. :D Love it to pieces, though. Faved, fived, and ten review points. All well deserved from such a brilliant game that's well designed and sufficiently comical. Much love.

[Blackbeard's Assault]

Addictive.

I saw the layout of the game and recognised it at once from the previous edition! I enjoyed the first version of this game so much, and this sequel is every bit as addictive and fun to play. You're right, it's more fast-paced, but it was really entertaining and challenging that way. Still loving the gameplay, and it's every bit as good as the last one. Well done; I'm very glad to see that there's another Blackbeard cannon-based game out in the world. Voting five for sure.
Great job.

[Orchestrated Death]

My favourite halloween game.

Halloween hasn't even started yet and already I can tell you that this will be the one I like the most. Fantastic death scenes; they were really very creative and it was great fun figuring out how to cause death and chaos in each scene. I'll agree with what some other people have said in that it would be wonderful if it was longer, but regardless of that it's brilliant! I had an excellent time playing it. It was drawn up well too, and had appropriate music, so props for that.
Managed to get through the game without using the walkthrough and any tab cheats, which is lovely, because it's challenging, but not TOO hard, you know? Actually the hardest part was getting the blender timing right - must have pressed it like five times before it finally did what it was supposed to do.
Hope you'll make more like this. I definitely dig it, lol.
<3 Much love, and a happy Halloween to you too, once it finally rolls around.

[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 ;)

[Cosmico!]

Enjoyable by far.

This was such an addictive game. Even though it was really simple in terms of goals, methods, things like that, it was a tad challenging at times and I really entertained myself with it for a while. The star scores were definitely very achievable, and the fact that there are only three levels doesn't do anything to detract from the score; in fact, it's ideal if you just want to be entertained but not have it take away too much time.
The character used was cute, and I liked the storyline behind the game - definitely interesting. Great job with this; it's really quite fun.

[Sheepster]

Amusing, however...

This game, while providing a few minutes of entertainment and being actually fairly fun, is completely unoriginal. I've seen the exact same idea on Ferry Halim's Orisinal Morning Sunshine site with the game Winter Bells. In that game the main creature was a rabbit and you jumped on bells and birds, not apples and cows. It also had the same scoring system. I'm sorry, because this is genuinely a good game, but I can't really help feeling that Winter Bells was ripped off. It's not fair to take a game and alter everything but the gameplay. That's just my thought.

[Stunt Bike Deluxe]

Addictive

I've been playing a lot of games like this lately and I just can't get over them. Liked the physics in this; it posed a challenge because it was all too easy to be flipped over unexpectedly. Had a hell of a time playing it, and had a heap of fun just watched the bike (especially the third model) spinning around and progressively reaching new heights. Brilliant graphics, and the levels were nice; loved the Aztec/Incan-ish forest/jungle setting - very atmospheric. Music was pretty good too, and the mute button was handy.
<3 Much love, you kept me entertained for ages.

[River Crossing]

:D Ah, good old mind tricks.

Interesting; I think I've heard a similar story to that one before, which probably helped me solve the puzzle. It was quite easy, did it the first go. Still, good idea making a game out of this.
