Rho-VIII's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Riskful Thinking]

Deserves a better score.

Was surprised this didn't score higher, the art style is extremely polished and the gameplay unique enough to hold my interest. I guess it didn't have enough tits and explosions for the NG audience.

Presenting stocks as the highest form of gambling is a humorous dig, even if the stock system depicter in the game is simplistic and easily exploitable. I'm not really sure how buying a billion shares of a company works, or how you can get to have so many billions of dollars on hand so easily. I can appreciate the thin line being tread between simplicity and the complex can of worms that stock trading actually is, but it wouldn't have hurt to have gone a little further.

The only other issue is that there's nothing to do with the money. The process of earning it is fun, but ultimately there's nothing to do with it except gamble more, so it quickly loses its value, but I can understand how it's hard to add things to spend it on without turning the game into a full blown RPG.

Overall, an underrated game.

[Black Cat Ops]

Boring.

That's the word to sum this game up. Click things until they die, only to be replaced by even more...Things. I'm sorry, but that just isn't fun. Not only have you failed to accomplish the fun factor, the graphics consisted of badly drawn ghosts, skulls, bottles and pumpkins, and traced backgrounds.

Try adding a little more interactivity other than repeatedly clicking and this might have scored higher.

Okay, so you you don't seem to like the idea of playing against time (unfortunately, that seems to be a common opinion about this game), but badly drawn? The in-game characters and objects may not be masterpieces, but I wouldn't say they are "badly drawn". The apparition was a frame-by-frame experiment (every frame was drawn from scratch) while the jack-o-lanterns and the bottles have clean, crisp lines (reduced a bit depending upon the quality mode) with their own shading effects.

I think I could help you..

The storyline of this game has some potential, but it's let down by bad graphics and poor animating. It needs some frame by frame animation, not tweens. I could help you there, my AIM screen name is chisandfips.

Violet-AIM responds:

Maybe in the next episode, I can add some frame by frame.
