RenfieldHarker's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[In Distress]

Very well done! The characters seem real, the models and environments are very well-rendered and well-animated. I understand it's a 5-minute game, but if you were to expand on it a little, it could be made even better. That's the only thing that could really improve it. I loved it!

[Velocity Wings]

This is honestly the best flappy bird take I've seen yet. Well done!

[Smokin Barrels 2]

+5 stars, -1. The gameplay concept is beautiful, and the actual gameplay itself is pretty good--the graphics are excellent, the music, though sparse, is well-done; the minigames are made and spaced with care and thought. It's long enough to make it fun, but short enough that it doesn't drag. The west flavor is thick enough to smother the Steampunk for those who don't want it there, but the steampunk is prevalent enough to enjoy for those who enjoy it.
But there are two things I find to be grave issues.
First, the quips. Either polish them, or get rid of them. They're irritating and feel off, apart from the fun Queen references.
Second, the difficulty has an unforgiving curve, forcing players like me to grind at the slots and fistfight to buy upgrades--which make the fights only marginally easier. It feels like the game was designed with a specific kind of mouse in mind, with other kinds--like a laptop mousepad--making it exponentially more difficult.
HOWEVER! It's a great game, I'm hooked, and I intend to keep playing until I beat it!
Well done, and I'm looking forward to Smokin Barrels 3! ;D

[Ricochet Heroes]

I am conflicted.
*ahem* THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ONLINE GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED.
Now, only two small grievances: There should be an 'option' screen, in my opinion; or some way to turn on/off sounds and music; and the tilt mechanism was a touch confusing.
That being said, this was still insanely addictive and I played it to the end without stopping. I sincerely hope you build on this incredibly promising premise.

[10 More Bullets]

I've been playing for over an hour, with some breaks for other games. Please, you owe it to your community. Institute a twelve-step program. I'm hooked.

...Please. My children are starving.

[Boomerang Chang]

SO PUNISHING...SO PAINFUL...SO ADDICTIVE...I CAN'T STOP PLAYING...
Honestly, this is a honey of a game--creative, unique, simple and yet wickedly difficult.

[Access is Denied]

I love this far too much to give it less than five stars; but the truth is the gameplay mechanics are a little too clumsy for five stars. Options between mouse/touchpad and keyboard controls would be a very nice start; making the motion a little more controllable. The flag-by-flag mechanic is interesting, but honestly, it's a little annoying with certain mice. (Mouses? I don't know if the plural extends to the cybernetic mouse)
However, the concept is excellent, and the gameplay isn't half-bad. I enjoyed myself!

[For the Homeland!]

...I don't understand it...BUT IT'S SO HARD TO STOP...

[MURDER]

Tops in casual gaming, and yet with enough strategy and reaction time needed to make it entertaining even for more serious gamers. I loved it, and couldn't stop playing it until I'd gotten all medals and all endings. Terrific!

...If you wanted to make a sequel with more characters, endings and death sequences, I wouldn't quibble.

[Love and Jetpacks - Demo]

There are only a few things to keep this game from five stars--awkward controls and physics (more of a lag than anything else), lack of exposition and...when is this coming out? You've got me hooked! :D
