ESGEE's game Reviews on Newgrounds

"About Time"

Games like this one is one of the main reasons that I keep coming back to Newgrounds. Great run-n-gun platformer with a twist. The worm kept me on edge throughout the entire game, forcing me to retrace my steps and find the best possible routes. Out of all the guns I really enjoyed the mine bag the best. The way it would scatter the shrapnel towards hordes of enemies made it a must. Especially after purchasing to damage sockets and one special, soon I was practically invincible by the time I reached the last five levels. I'm not sure what 'Berder' was talking about. I experienced no lag and the worm wasn't nearly as impossible as he made it sound. Either he has a slow connection or he just didn't utilize the upgrade system correctly. I really enjoyed this submission and look forward to a follow up in the near future. 5/5 10/10

I'm glad to hear you like using the mine bag - it's the least popular weapon according to the stats :(
I like that gun too!

"House of Dead meets RPG"

After twenty-seven long minutes I've come to realize, this game is awesome! The character classes meshed perfectly with the story and the upgrade system was flawless. I think I would have liked the game to be a bit longer though. Maybe the file was getting too big or you just didn't have enough time to expand, either way the end feels a bit rushed. I think it's great that there is going to be a sequel but I think I would have had a lot more fun maximizing my upgrade system for a glorious final confrontation. All in all great game and please make the sequel longer so that we can help our character classes grow. 5/5 10/10

"Dead On Target"

One of the best flash zombie games I've ever played here on Newgrounds. Awesome voice overs and narratives make you feel like you're in the middle of the fray. Great gameplay mechanics offering much customization including button configuration make this game an easy hands on for noobs to the world of flash gaming. I have to say this gets all 5's from me. And I could have sworn I heard Marcus from Gears of War... lol! Great job man.

[Kingdom in the Clouds]

Awesome

Ok. First off I have to agree with a few post about the upgrades system. I thought that when you upgraded your cloud attack it would do more damage or at least allow you to shoot more rapidly. :( However all the rest of the upgrades worked perfectly well. Now for the juicy part of my review. I loved the story line , where you were the prince of the clouds and you had to protect your sister to get back home. The gameplay was refreshing in a way seeing as how you mixed platform mechanics with classic defense gameplay. Very well animated, narrated, and great music that just ties the whole thing together. There were some glitches near the outer kingdom levels where your character would slow down but all in all a great game. Please make a follow up game, and this time around make the cloud attack upgrades more apparent. And maybe you could even make an upgrade for the jump where you can form a floating cloud to raise your sister up to safety for a limited amount of time. Keep up the good work.

[Ultimate Death Trap]

Can you say "LEGENDARY!"

Using crappy graphics, cheesy dialogue, and a sensless story to make a nostalgic point and click game I'll talk about for years to come...Pure Genius! I just found a new favorite flash submission. Thx for the great game.

[Larry And The Gnomes]

"Gnome-ore gnomes"

I found this game to be a masterpiece. It had all the elements a game should have. The controls were amazing and having to eat fruit to survive the boss in act three, genius. I had to use my brain and figure out which strategies to use for which enemies. And the frost axe in act 4 made my battle with the Gnome King an interesting one. Thank you JAZZA and your team for bringing something that newgrounds has been missing for about a year; A real arcade feel! Keep up the good work.

[Spot the Frog!]

Great

A very entertaining game I can let mt kids play. Kudos!

[Being One - Episode 4]

Absolutely Marvelous!

You took me on a journey filled with alien autopsy's, vampires and werewolves through four beautifully designed games and kept me enthralled every step of the way. Sure there are still questions to be answered but isn't that what the ending implies when it says your journey begins again. What I really love is how you were able to keep me enticed with the gameplay and storyline through a multitude of games and not become a sell-out like leffler with the exmortis trilogy. All my 5's go to your work and I eagerly anticipate your next masterpiece.

[Exmortis 3]

EPIC!!!!!!

Tottaly awsome game. All my 5's! big props to ya. But srry I rated u 0's instead with 0 stars. My reason for doing so is this, I applaud you for going the extra mile and making a buck for yourself but seriously? I mean Newgrounds is supposed to be everything by everyone, not everyone by who can afford it. I'll probably lose my account for this but why would you use a sight to build up such a reputation with the Exmortis series if you were planning to charge people after they've come so far to the end? I feel let down by such a sell-out move on your part. I've played the demo and I have nothing to complain about except the fact that it explains nothing about the exmortis. You'd think by playing your demo we'd get to uncover more of the story, as to who Mr. Hanney is and why he ended up where he is. A big disappointment for me man. Doesn't mean I won't buy the game. My review does not reflect the gameplay or design at all. Only the extremely uninformative demo. If you think I'm wrong then comment back. And explain exactly why I'm wrong, because I'd really like to know. Thank You.

"OMFG"

One of the best games with sprites ive ever seen. Would be awsome with a story line. If you don't have one I'd love to write one for it. Great game.
