TastelessCandy - Ep5 TastelessCandy - Ep5

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars January 17, 2009

The animation is excellent

The animating style is top notch, but unfortunately the humor isn't. "A dog sniffing another dog's butt" is something that I feel a 1st grader would have came up with an laughed at.

Arggh

So many flaws. The voice acting is horrible for one thing, and it does not help that the voices were not synched correctly. Worse yet is the humor. Seriously, your only joke is "lol poop lol!" which is only funny to a three year old (or a supremely immature teenager or younger kid.)

Hilarious

The jokes and voice acting are top notch, with some of them making me literally fall out of my chair with laughter. The only thing holding this back from a perfect 10 is the fact that the animation could be better. With that said, though, I am yet to find a more entertaining and funny video on newgrounds.

Perpetual Blaze Perpetual Blaze

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars January 2, 2010

very fun

It's a really nice concept, and the game is fun to play. My only complaints are that the enemies are a bit too small given the etremely fast and sometimes sparatic character controls, and a lack of any powerups. Overall, it's a fun game to go a few rounds on.

A great first submission

The game is excellent for your first submission but as a flash in general it is slightly lacking.

To begin, the 5th level is simply way too hard for some players. The level is supremely easy right up until the last enemy, who took me 6 tries to best. The fact that he can move faster then you when flustered makes the game devolve into complete and total luck: you just have to hope that he doesn't dodge the ball with his super speed.

Many people will probably have to sacrifice a few retries to beat this level, and the payoff is terrible. a boss that cannot be beaten. Putting a giant, "Final" button on it is even more taunting- a better name for it would be, "Pointless distraction while we shove credits in your face."

I was looking forward to a fun boss battle, too, which is a shame.


r-macdonald responds:

I agree with you, that many people had that expectation of a final battle, and instead they got the meaning of the game explained. For some people it worked, for others don't. It is something I`ll be more careful in the future, handling expectations is very important.

not too good....

The gameplay was literally as simple as moving a cursor around the screem mindlessly, with the only skill that could be invlved beng ruined by one large blemish: the stamina never depletes. The game is rediculously easy and doesn't require much skill to complete, and the levels all feel the same. There's now way t turn off the annoying audio, either.

Overall, I didn't enjoy this game very much.

DannyP responds:

Yes, the controls are very simple. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The stamina should deplete if you use the skill. It's programmed to do so. You might need the latest version of Flashplayer for it to work properly or something... I really don't know why the stamina wouldn't go down for you.

It would be harder if it worked properly for you, and there's only really one level. An option to disable the audio would've been a good idea.

ambient masterpiece

it makes it seem as if there is a lot to be explored, (and there is...) but it kind of makes you think outside of the box, (the box being earth.)

in Canada, earth comes in a box

EXCELLENT!

whoah, this is one heck of a song you got here. i'm not sure why, but it just let forth my emotions iin many different varieties and types. the ominous beat in the backround slowly speeding, indicating some sort of approaching disaster in my mind, whilst the piano loop going on, creating a sense of harmony, like protection, a blanket on a cold night, something that makes you feel that no matter what happens, that shield is always there. i'm not quite sure if that is what you were going for, but that's what appeared in my mind, and that's what sets this apart from all the rest.
