Pikkio's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tek Tactical]

It's a very cool game, especially the graphics!

Though It's a bit complicated to surf around the many options and features (shop, equipping, stats, etc..), and I think the stock market is probably adding more confusion than being fun to have..

I felt a bit lost on first approaching the equipping section, it took me a couple of stages before realizing how to switch slot from the top and then equip something.

the thing I don't like more is that you can't jump.. I feel handicapped just walking around (at the beginning you also walk soooo slow) in the middle of a gun fight.. in general is barely impossible to avoid the bullets, so you just stay there and take them all aimin carefully for an head shot, and you do better than trying to move around to distract the enemies, who then are less easy to hit on the head cause they move.

I've experienced the bug as well.
you have to play for a few levels (think was 4th), then you end a level and after the stats screen, you click on equipment or any other section and it move the main wheel without loading anything on the selected panel. and if you reload the game and select continue, the bug it's still there.

the most suspicious clue in my case was that when it crashed, I had looted a ring (the strength one) which I had already previously looted and equipped, so maybe there is some recurring variable which cause an infinite loop?

hope this helped you to fix it.

Cool game though!

tedgaming responds:

Thanks! Hmm... I don't think it's a ring problem. Try continuing your game, then exit to the main menu, go to save data, export it, then import it, and then start a new game plus and see if the bug is still there. If it is, then it really might be a ring problem and giving me the export code would help immensely. I haven't heard back from anyone yet so I'm not sure if the problem persists after exporting and importing the game again.

it's a shame because the style of the intro is very interesting, but then it become one of the crappiest security stealt game I've ever played. The controls sucks, the graphic as well, the guards can look behind and through the walls, it's insanely difficult (mostly for the crappy movements) and frustrating.

Unfortunately I didn't see the part were you shoot, because I got annoyed after 10 minutes of the other parts.

I might suggest you to make an interactive graphic adventure in the style of the intro, that should work better than this. if you'll do it, drop me a message, I might decide to sponsor it. :)

Cheers!

Nice game but the wall jump sucks.
If you jump off from a wall and you grab on another wall instead of landing on your feets, you can't jump off again, you can just fall down like an idiot..

and I don't understand why you can't move with arrows as well as A and D, I think I am not the only one who will prefer to jump with my left hand and move with the right..

[Empire Business]

This is one of the most stupid yet addicting games I ever played! :)

At first, when I realized what was the gameplay I thought: "Seriously??"
but then with the upgrades and achievements everything became more interesting. And even if I was still thinking that this was not making any sense nor being challenging or exiting, I found myself continuing playing just to see what will happen next and if there was an end of it.
I won't tell it guys. play and figure it out. :P

p.s. you definitely have to add some challenging to it. You could add a time limit and then a score leaderboard with the best results in that time limit. Then don't guide the player through the upgrading showing only 3 or 4 of them at a time. Display a lot of them and let everyone choose an upgrading strategy. ;)

Cheers!

ONly 2 stars, but I see this is just a demo, and the game has potential.

- you should definitely give more time before the first crates appears when you start. I die 3 times on 5 hitting the first crates.. -_-

- the stickman should not keep running when is in middle air

- crates arrive slower than the clouds and this feels very weird..

- use bigger coins icons, maybe different sizes or colors or something else to avoid writing the value

- you need more kinds of obstacle or traps

and what about the multiplayer mode? are you planning to make a multiplayer version of it? this might be very cool, especially if you accomplish and amplify the items customization part. ;)

p.s. I have a stickmangames portal. if you make an improved version with multiplayer and a nice amount of items, I would definitely consider to sponsor it (but we'll have to negotiate before you post it here). let keep in touch! ^_^

thx well multiplayer is in mind but still not yet need to fix game and stuff i would like to have ppl help in game woukld you like or any of your embers helpme inprove game contact me private message

[Tyrone Gets Bikes]

this has definitely to be a demo. and even not very well made..
how does this managed to pass the judgment? O_o

[Eugene Houdin]

The game is a little buggy but the concept is nice and has a good playability.
Is not difficult at all, you just have to attack once, then wait the opponent attack and dodge in the correct timing.
Infact the real problem of the game is that it becomes boring when you start to fight against the normal stickman, cause it attacks always the same way and you get used to dodge in perfect timing so you win quite easy.
you should repeat all the opponents instead of repeating only the normal stickman.

another thing is that one upgrade point shold give 5 life points at least.

there are few bugs:
- when I bought the weapons it was showing always the first one in game..
- when I bought the first armor, my character was wearing the second, and when I bought the second it was showing the third. then with the third was correctly showed. don't know the 4th..
- when you use a spell (at least when you use the first one), your maximum mana go down the same of your remaining mana and then every time the bar is full, it raise your maximum mana by 1 and then restart rechargin the bar.. only if you pass the level everything comes back to normal, if you die and continue, the max mana is still bugged.
- a lot of times when you press the X more than once, your elmet remaing still floating in the air.. XD

anyway, I sent you a private message. ;)

Nice one! I love the fact that this shows a lot of the epic characters of stickpage's animators, all in one game. And I enjoyed the choice to make the battles a bit funny.

I'm just not getting where is the point on interacting in that way.. I mean, if I got it right, sometimes interacting you actually help the opponent to kill the character who you bet on, but if you don't interact the animation simply doesn't go any further. so the only choice you have is to interact and loose the battle.. at the same, if you need to interact to help your character, you can take your time pressing slowly and nothing will change. Basically your interaction is just pressing bottons to make the animation go on, like pressing the FFWD button on a tape player..

I also don't like the fact that you have to reload the page to re-start the game if you hadn't unlock the hall of fame at the first try..

at this point maybe it was better just to put singles battle without interaction, and without nothing to unlock, but just a leaderboard at the end. and the opportunity to replay the battles without betting.

by the way, love stickmen and like the animations in here, so I'll give you 4 stars. ;)

Stone-Steven responds:

Thanks for the solid review bud.

[Elf Story]

the game is awesome mate! *_*
I think you should make some animations and not only games, a toon with this quality and style will be a success!

anyway, the game it's quite easy at the beginning but every scenario there are few things to do so it's ok, and there is a good balance between action and puzzles, so it feels like an interactive adventure but with more action (normally your adventure games are more action and quite nothing adventures). the part against the archer is quite hard but is ok at that point.
in general, the characters and the plot is very detailed (as the graphics) and you feel really into it while playing.
loved the idea of the coins to buy equipment, it gives a cool arcade feeling. ;)

I really hope you're going to make more games and maybe toons with this character and plot. *_*

[Sack Smash 2003]

Brilliant! This is the most funny and addicting christmas game ever!

:D
