ironlunch's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hungry Gamers]

I like the way the game reflects the elements of the books. I really enjoyed the slight touches, like the complex Peeta/Katniss dialogue trees and friendship points you can score with other players to keep them from attacking you. As a gamer, I can say that the game really hits the fun factor.

If I had to list a complaint, the map is a bit too small. I can understand this is due to their really only being 24 characters and it players run the risk of getting lost, but the entire map is pretty much one solid area. Just grass and trees. I found one waterfall (the one with the cave behind it that contains the silver bow hidden item), but that's not really enough in terms of environment variety.

The sheer amount of weapons available make up for any graphic oversight, however. Just the way different weapons control is astounding. It's like a different combat system for each unique weapon. At one point, with a bow, I'm playing a WASD+mouse kind of Geometry wars shooter with RTS elements, and another moment get a sword, and the entire thing becomes an interesting brawler/DMC combo-heavy button masher.

Oh and, one bug I can think of from the top of my head (and I usually keep a huge detailed list in each game so if this is the only bug I'm still impressed), the knives clip through trees and walls. It's not a particularly huge deal as the knives have the weakest stats in the game and no NPC character goes for them at the start. Perhaps think of upping their stats or getting rid of them altogether?

Anyway, in short: Great game, fun gameplay, awesome depth/leveling system, ton of content for a flash game.

*PS, Just a quickie fix from a huge HG fan here, the berries Foxface collects are called "Nightlock" in the books, not "Hemlock". Just a heads up.

Very well designed game

I prefer it to Tactical Assasin if just for the most details graphics (and oh how detailed they are). However, my one problem with the game is; when you off your target, other citizens don't even seem to notice.

If this is the kind of city where that happens all the time, that may be understandable, but it still keeps me from giving this game a perfect score.

Again, great job.

God-Awful

I won by just staying in the same place the entire time. Boring and short. You should have some Flash experience, so this is intolerable.

[vgmp-ware( 7 lv demo )]

AWFUL

Faulty and ugly. I got to the third task, passed it, and the game just stood there. I kept clicking but the frame stayed the same. Did it freeze on me? Maybe, but I ddin't think so.

Plus, for the second task I inputed '25' in the answer box, which is the right answer. However, the game said I got the answer wrong! I had to erase a bunch of periods in the answer box.

This flash is faulty and poorly action-scripted, and should be BLAMMED.

thank you, glad you liked it =)

OK Music game. Really Hard

Worthy addition to Newgrounds. Probably frontpage material. I liked it, but I kept losing the third song. It was way too hard for me, but I'm sure others can do better at the game. Good job

Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it :D

Good, but not the best...

I loved the graphics, it was cool how every character breathed and had life. But the ending was kindof a putoff. Suffers from ammnesia at times? WEAK! Plus the only real puzzle element was getting out of the bathroom. Then it was just inventory stuff. Some of the diolauge was a bit corny. The talk with Amelia is a bit painful.
I hope the story gets a bit of a rejuvination in Pursuit, and I hope you stick to your puzzle element, since pursuit sounds like an action name...

ahahah weak :)
