Syphos's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[My Dear Ethel-nol...]

An educational experience for everyone.

You suceeded in your aim to educate others by creating this "game." It was not very entertaining, but I definitely learned a lot. The animations were simple, but like you said, they would appeal to a younger audience and help them understand a more complex topic.

If you could incorporate some more entertainment of some kind then I believe you could keep the viewer truly interested and wanting to continue to learn, even if they don't like to do so. Other than that, great job, and keep on making educational games!

[inFAMOUS:Precinct Assault]

Great fun!

A great 2d platformer if I have ever seen one. I enjoyed how you incorporated elements from many different types of video game genres into this simple yet entertaining game. The variation of powers and enemies is enough to keep things interesting for the player, and the visuals as well as the sound effects fit perfectly, thus helping to immerse the player in the game.

I think it is wonderful that games like this come out based off of bigger games on the console. inFamous is a very popular game and it is always interesting to see different incarnations of your favorite games. This seems like it could be something that could come out for the PSP, really.

The only thing I could add would be to include more of a plot or storyline in the game so that the player feels like they are progressing more than just simply sidescrolling.

Great work! I hope that you continue to make games like this and we see more from you soon!

Good idea.

These type of games have been done over and over, yet you still brought an aspect of originality to your game. The levels were clever and the surfaces were effectively simplistic. This game still lacks in the entertainment department, unfortunately. Some kind of music, powerups, backgrounds, or anything else to keep the player's attention besides moving the pink ball around would have greatly improved this game. I think you have a lot of potential and if you keep at it then you'll have something great on your hands!

Cool!

I remember playing games like this when I was young. Though, this game seems a little more challenging then the ones I can remember. Still, I like the classic feel and it's got a modern vibe to it that makes it interesting and entertaining to play.

[Drop-a-Block!]

Pretty cool.

This game is kind of like a less frustrating and more entertaining version of of the board game Boggle from Hasbro. I like the idea and think it is innovative enough to be considered original. Good job.
