Bezman's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beer-In-Stein]

Ar first I found this amazingly hard.

I played about 6 times, each time dying on the first level, but then I tried using the tip of a pen to hit the space bar, and it seemed to work!

Strange...

The gameplay wasn't that amazing, but I'm guessing that that wasn't why you made it.

I'm guessing that you made it for the wacky beer-drinking plot. (Was it you who was asking about how to do this in NG CHat a wee while ago?)

However, I did'nt really find this all that funny myself...

Which is why I suppose I ended up not really enjoying it that much.

[Blast-A-Stick]

Just feels a bit pointless and empty.

The gameplays good and solid, but I really think you could add more options and stuff to it.

You could have some sort of vistory condition, and an ending, and you could have high score challenges and stuff...

As for the gameplay aspect as it is, I just don't feel that it's that rewarding.

[Do It Doug ×°Old Game°×]

Quite decent, and the sound is pretty nice.

However, I just feel that the whole thing is flawed, and the fact that you get only a certain amount of time to do each thing makes the flaws more noticable.

If you want me to tell you all the problems, just e-mail me, and I'll tell you.

Otherwise, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Basically, stuff like only being able to shoot guys in a certain order.

It gets a bit annoying because it doesn't feel fair, and because it's hard, you end up blaming this on the game.

Make another game, but make it so that you get as long as you want to make each button press.

Obviously, the scenario would have to be a bit different.

That's the basic reason why I gave you a sub-5 mark.

Oh, and I thought the bodies were decent.

[Shoot the Mofo!]

It was reasonably made, but I didn't find it funny

It was reasonably made, but could basically use a bit more polish.

Also, I didn't particularly find it that funny either.

I thought the wee bazooka thing was quite a nice touch tho'

[optical illusions 2002]

Brilliant stuff.

I'm not going to rate you low for just using some pics you got in an e-mail... after all, you did at least take the time and effort to put in the hints bit and present it all nicely with a little tune.

Also, I rate the final product, not how hard you worked or anything like that.

Anyway, this was quite enjoyable... seen many of these before, but it's still great.

I'm off to see the other one now.

[A vexing, predicament.]

I think this is a joke folks...

I raised your mark since the whole thing is reasonably original, and does a good job of bringing the veiwer to think that this is going to be a well done piss-take, when it turns out to be a badly-done piss take, which is not directed at some third party, but at the veiwer. (Or should I say reader?)

However, this just doesn't make me laugh. Also, nothing else made the experience enjoyable for me.

[Al Quaidamon]

Pretty decent, but needs a 'good ending'.

As it is, it feels like a nice little piece, but a bit restricted.

A 'good' ending might make it better.

But I suppose that as it is, it kind of shows how it's practically impossible to keep a POW happy forever, and you might be making a subtle statement about your own beliefs, trying to say that you take the opposite view to the human rights activists.

Then again, I'm probably reading into this too much.

[Poorly Drawn Stickmen: TG]

Brilliant style.

I like the fact that you've given people a hints page in case they're really stuck.

After having to resort to that for the first 2 levels, I found myself able to do level 3 a bit more easily. Maybe I just needed to get into your fram of thinking.

The style is really good - it succeeds in doing exactly what you set out to do.

Maybe you could incorporate the hints into the game? Have a variable for each puzzle or something, which is increased each time you make fail it, and set to 0 if you get it right. If it gets above a certain number (3?) then you could display the first hint... if it gets a bit higher you could display the 2nd hint and so on.

I really like the scribbles and the way the stuff is drawn in front of you.

Apart from that, I can only suggest adding more levels.

Oh, did I mention the fact that I like your style?

[Harry Potthead]

Liked the overall style, with the purple tint all.

The chilled music and wierdo noises from Harry totally fitted the overall mood.

As others have pointed out, he can't exactly be that normal in the first place to go about smoking pigeons and squirells, but hey...

I guess that's part of the joke.

I also liked the easter egg... this feels pretty complete and there's nothing moe I would add.

However, the basic joke just doesn't make me laugh.

[Battle Scape 1]

I didn't find it funny, but found it pointless.

Basically, I just see no point in this.

If there's a decent joke in there, I can't find it.

If the gameplay is uspposed to be the key factor...

well, it's boring, with no incentive to go on, and the way that the options seem to change randomly seems a bit rubbish.

You should have had a guy who teaches you moves or something.
