[Forgotten Dungeon 2]

This game is quite fun but there are some complaints: One would be that in Diablo, which you said this game emulates, you can hold the shift key while attacking and that causes you to be able to attack wherever your mouse is instead of attacking a target. This is especially useful when using a ranged unit. Especially one that can attack in a large area with multiple projectiles ;]. The point of multi-arrow in other games is to spread out damage not necessarily to deal heavy damage to one target.

Another complaint would be that you could have come up with more creative names for the weapons and armor.

Another complaint is that, after a few levels, you don't die. Even if you do die, there's no penalty. You should have an experience penalty or at least a money penalty. I'm saying that the game is too easy. There needs to be a threat.

Another complaint is that there is entirely too much equipment that gets dropped and not enough things to spend your money on. I never had to buy potions but I was going back to the store ever 3 to 5 minutes with a full pack full of crap. A little more balance there would have been appreciated.

Also, you should have made passive abilities. For example, the pierce arrow should have been a passive ability that, as leveled up, increases the odds that the arrow will pierce not the damage done. The damage should be solely dependent the archers attack and whatever ability. Being as the archer is the only one I used I can't really advise on any others but some passive abilities would have been great. Maybe for the warrior they could have a natural element resistance passive ability or a death stack ability like a bloodlust of sorts and for the mage you could have had chances of instant death for certain spells. I.e. fire could have an incinerate chance.

This is in no means a bad game but there's certainly a lot that could have been improved on.

---------- 3/5 -----------

[F1 World Racing Challenge]

Easily one of the best racing games on newgrounds simply because of how well done the physics are. Most racing games on here are too easy because they don't require you to slow down when you turn which takes away from the excitement of playing racing games. I really don't like a few things about the graphics though. The road is huge in comparison to the cars and the cars are 2D objects stuck flat to the ground. The cars should have a little bit of presence. One thing that does make this game a little easier than it could be is the fact that when you bump other cars they go crazy out of control and you barely lose speed. Other than those 2 things: excellent game.

---------- 3.5/5 -----------

[Burning Path]

This is a pretty fun game. My only complaints are that it's too short and sometimes it's impossible to save yourself because you don't flip fast enough. Maybe if you sped that up, not too much though, this game would be even more fun.

[Edge of Evil]

Cool game. I wish the art was a little better though and there were more differences because after playing it on easy and medium, hard was really easy.

[Dead Tread]

It's a pretty cool game. There isn't much to it though. It's easy and short. I really liked the graphics and control of the vehicle but a few things could have been added like vehicle customization and randomized opponent vehicles, power-ups, limbs of zombies flying instead of just blood splash. Also I think that hitting the zombies should slightly slow you down but there should be an upgrade to improve it such as spikes on the front of the vehicle and wheel spikes. Also ramps and stunt points should be included. Heck, maybe a whole stunt round and a zombie slay round.

With the upgrades and personalization should come special points that you only get from killing zombies to buy said upgrades.

[Tower Up!]

Sweet game but let me ask you a question: what awesome game on newgrounds doesn't have a picture? I don't know because most of the time I don't even bother playing any that doesn't have a picture. This isn't as petty of a concern as you would think. Most of the games on newgrounds that have the generic newgrounds logo are crap so assumed this game would be too. Others will assume the same. You probably should fix it.

4/5

[Rogue Hawk]

I didn't like that you had to keep clicking to keep your jet in the air. A little more standard button controls would have made this game more worth playing. Overall, not bad though. I little better graphics would have been appreciated but those aren't bad either.

[Elephant Story]

What riddle? Jumping over an owl or running left on the screen until it says credits? Cool Japanese music at the end but it's not worth protecting simply because a probably very hot Japanese woman sang in Japanese to a crappy guitar rhythm. Sorry buddy. Make a better GAME next time instead of a "riddle" that isn't apparent. If you wanted to make it a riddle, you should have made the riddle more apparent.

1 Star for cool music

Not my fault that you can't see the brilliance right in front of your very eyes.
