FlashChicken's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Baseball]

So many unique and original WTF moments, I love it! Every time you think you have seen it all, something new pops up to surprise you, its obvious that a lot of thought went into the different level designs.

I'm surprised so many reviewers seem genuinely angry by the game, it is clearly a bit of silly, light hearted fun.

At time of writing my current high score is 12.

Will responds:

Thanks Flashchicken! The bad reviews are hilarious

[TAMUTU]

I love a good Boss Rush game, but one thing has been bugging me, where is the music from on the final boss? It is really familiar but I just cannot place it!

dietzribi responds:

My brother made the music, he says it's inspired by this- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFSpufRVRPI
(from Django Unchained) So maybe this is what you're looking for?

[PsychoPhage]

BUG REPORT!

The game opens to a blank green screen for me. I can hear the music, and clicking my mouse results in a shooting noise, but the screen is completely bare.

Any ideas what my problem is?

c3d responds:

Sadly this broke when Flash updated. I can't fix it :(

[Deterministic Dungeon]

Original and surprisingly addictive!

Despite some of the previous reviews, I do not think stopping the selector on your desired number is all that difficult, it just takes a little time to get used to the timing and learn to anticipate when to click.

I managed to reach the 6-3 boss on my first run through, only to run out of healing scrolls before I could finish him off. About to make my second attempt at beating this now.

On another note, I am not sure whether this is a bug, or intentional, but I did not lose any of my totems when I died, and they carried on to my second playthrough.

PestoForce responds:

I agree, some players tend to exaggerate how difficult the chooser is, but my experience is that you improve quite a bit in a short amount of time once you can wrap your mind around what's actually happening.

Yes, totems remaining is intentional to soften the blow of the perma-death.

[Witch Hunt]

Addictive!

I'm curious is there actually an end to the Sky Tower, or is it just and endless challenge? Currently on level 21.

vipervgames responds:

Thanks! The tower is endless, tho.

[Idle Evolution]

Finally reached the end today after almost a month of play! I'm surprised I kept playing for so long, it was super addictive.

I'm still missing a few of the Secret Medals, any hints on how they are unlocked?

Aim
Epic Fail (I assume you have to hit a specific number of fails in evolution?)
Secret
Play it Safe
Missing in Action
Multiethnic

NewProject responds:

I can't say anything.
But you have good guides, check reddit.

[Infectonator : Survivors]

Addictive stuff, can't wait for the full version!

I also liked the easter eggs, and little references to popular Youtube personalities (Clint and Freddie ftw!) and other video games (Gordon Freeman's Crowbar).

People have commented on the difficulty but I found it to be ok, a gun and run approach worked particularily well for me. Once you have upgraded your weapons and leveled up a few times, most missions can be soloed fairly easy, allowing you to get more done each day.

A few problems I had were (As previously mentioned by other posters), the revival system, a lot of the time a character would start to die just before I was about to transition to the next screen, forcing me to leave them behind, halfway through a revival attempt. A option to continue on to the next area would probabally be better, rather than automatically advancing.

Secondly I noticed in the options menu there were boxes to toggle autopause and grid on/off but they don't actually seem to work. Am I to assume this will be implemented in the full version, or have I just stumbled on to a bug?

toge-games responds:

Thank you for playing!

Yeah the transition thing needs to be tweaked. Thanks again for the feedback.

Some features are only available for the PC version, sorry

[HYDRA]

After a week of on and off play I finally found both the Password, and the Secret Room.

But I cant for the life of me figure out how to actually input the password though, I assume its in the room with the 5 levers with the letter A over them? I tried typing the password ...nothing, tried clicking on the levers nothing.... No idea how to bypass the door.

Grrrr! Was addictive whilst it lasted but I've finally reached my wits end lol.

OctoFlash responds:

don't stop at this point, you're very close! read the game-description again; there is that passage with the clue for the special mode. you'll get it, i promise!
thanks for playing, i'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it!

[2030]

I can confirm what a previous reviewer wrote about the speed upgrade, you can surpass 300. I upgraded my Engines to 328/300, though after I left the shop and returned I could no longer upgrade them, it seems that as long as you don't leave the shop before you hit 300, you can continue upgrading until you run out of money.

On another note, the game was pretty fun and addictive, until I got the yellow laser weapon, about half way though my playthrough, I have no idea how I got it, its not from the shop. But its totally broken and overpowered, it was destroying the alien motherships in seconds and pretty much obiliterating everything on the screen. At this point the game lost its challenge and became quite boring.

zzulian responds:

I will fix the upgrade for the engine. thx.
You got the super weapon beacause you accomplished a mission that consist to destroy the alien ship.

[Bosses Forever 2.bro]

Annoyingly addictive! Didnt realise just how many hours I'd spent on this game until I just checked the clock. Personal best is currently lv12 single player and lv19 2 player.

Dont know if its intentional or a bug, but during 2 player mode you can ressurect your dead bro by upgrading his life at the end of each level. I ended playing both characters I'd focus on P1 and allow P2 to die early on, and focus on levelling P2s damage and max health after each boss. Once P1 was starting to struggling and was low on health at the end of a boss, I'd cure P2s HP and resurrect him for the next level.

As I hadnt needed to waste his powerups on curing his HP up until this point he was generally pretty powerful 200+ max HP - 8 damage. Now I'd just alternate between characters upgrading one until the second could barely continue then swapping between them.

TooDX responds:

That's an intentional feature - the idea is that for a 2 player run, we don't want somebody to get left out if they happen to die - if their bro can clear the boss solo, they should be able to come back.

Using it that way is an effective use of the 2 player mechanics on a solo run, although it gives the boss a few things as well!

Nice runs sir!
