Mushroom's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spell Guardian]

I really like this game, particularly the level design (which reminds me somewhat of the Marble Zone from Sonic 1, because I'm old) - the difficulty curve is just hard enough to keep it compelling and yet infuriating. I could have used some more common save points, but I can't criticise you for me being bad at the game ;)

IceDrumGames responds:

Thank you for the feedback! I wanted to make some challenge to the player this is why there is no checkpoint on the each level, but after release I think that this was the mistake

[Bounce Canyon]

Not since flappy bird have I wasted so much of my life on such a simple game. Took me three days but I now have the high score... ;)

bluswimmer responds:

Thank you!

[Air Wings - Missile Attack]

Wonderfully simple and engaging game.

Pros: I've not been addicted to a game like this in a long time.

Cons: I've not been addicted to a game like this in a long time.

[Jump Over!]

Simple but effective

A very simple idea for a game, like a cross between checkers and peg solitaire, but it has a smooth difficulty curve and holds your interest. Nicely done!

[Raid Gaza!]

Haha

Whether you agree with it or not, you have to admit it's damn good satire. Kudos for that alone ;)

[Wallace & Gromit: Top Bun]

Fantastic game from a fantastic studio

Very playable game.
It's nice to see a company posting here that has probably been responsible for many people dabbling in animation themselves :)

[Elephant Rave]

Sublime.

This is possibly my favourite game ever.

[Iron Works]

Under rated!

I feel a bit sorry for this submission because Newgrounds people in general tend to really hate bubble shooters. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I love them, so here, have a positive review:

The difficulty curve was, for me, perfect - relaxed at first but really quite taxing once you hit the faster levels. The art in the game was really well done, and the slower first levels allowed me to appreciate that.
Additionally, THANK YOU for not using the walls as sticking points. Too many bubblers do that these days, and it makes them nigh impossible to play once they start speeding up. Part of the fun of bubble shooters is trying to break a big chain down the side before it's too late!
As others have mentioned, a 'next ball' indicator might have been nice, but the lack of one made it a bit more exciting as you had to think quickly - maybe an option to turn one on or off might have been the best idea.
Overall, I think it's one of the best bubble shooters I've played in recent times - no bonuses, powerups or gimmicks, just back-to-basics chain-breaking action.

[Balloon Invasion]

Fantastic game

This game has great playability, good quality, and well-balanced difficulty.
There's not an awful lot I can add to what previous reviewers have said, but I will add that I think it's definitely one of the best games I've played here, and I've been here since '00!
