Schyfis's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Big Truck Adventures 2]

Excellent game, but...

It could definitely use a free-play mode with randomly generated levels. Without it, it loses some replay value.
You could even choose what kind of cargo you want to carry.
Great game other than that! I'm impressed that this game is so original.

[Mario Remix: Boss Edition]

Fantastic game!

The best game I've ever played on Newgrounds. This is it.
There is actually a glitch, however. If you use a mushroom while Mario's already big, it will waste a mushroom.
One thing that would be nice for this game is a save feature. That way I wouldn't have had to leave my computer on overnight ^_^
Very very good work. It took me forever to beat, and for some reason I found Gravity Man to be the hardest... Well, next to Super Mecha Sonic, of course.

[Momentum Missile Mayhem]

Fantastic

I like it a lot, but can you update the download version to match this version?
It's still at 1.0.
The graphics are AMAZING! Do you draw them all yourself, or do you have help?

I'm working with an artist.

[Breakthru v1.0]

Not bad

Aside from the lack of sound, there were a couple things I noticed.
One was that the game tends to lag.
Some solutions for this could be:
1. Raise the frame rate (I recommend 30 fps for games)
2. Use less gradient fills
3. Use less complex graphics (for explosions, etc.)
4. Cache some graphics as bitmaps using .cacheAsBitmap=true
Just some ideas. Try them out and see what you can come up with.
As for the concept of your game, I liked it. It was very creative. Good work!

Thanks for your help. This was probably the most useful comment on the whole thing.

[flying megaman (demo) 2]

Lacks basic physics.

As a fellow megaman flash game maker, I can honestly say that this needs _lots_ of work.
It needs:
1. physics
2. better collision detection
3. instructions at the beginning
4. title screen?
5. better graphics
And why the hell is it "flying" megaman???
Read up on some tutorials and try again.

[Overhead World]

It's been done before.

It's called creativity, my friend. Be creative and make something original.

[Megaman Zero:]

Good, but needs some work.

This is a very good game, but here are some suggestions.
-Control change option
-Transitions between levels
-More puzzles / mazes, less massive clots of enemies

I don't know about the last two, but this game definitely needs control changes.

.......

nothing out of the ordinary, its not original at all. and sometimes the paddle moves on its own?
