ChandlerThompson's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico's School]

A Newgrounds icon lives on.

I have played this game for many years, and I am glad to say that this still has the effect it had on me when it first came out. I remember dicovering this game way back at the start of the new millenium, I think it started the fad of me really liking adventure games. This may be my first experience I remember on this site.

The game is still a blast to play, and the medals make it even better. The whole concept of the game is hilarious, the goth kids taking over the school is a classic twist. People don't realize that this was made in Flash 3, this game was so ahead of its time when that Flash version was popular. I love the style you used to draw the characters and the music is great.

It is weird to think of how Newgrounds would be if Pico had never come around. He is the Newgrounds legacy and has spawned so many other great flashes. I'm sure this game has inspired many other authors to create games and learn flash techniques, it sure keeps me coming back to the site. Pico deserves his own day, he needs to be celebrated.

I'm suprised I forgot to review this, it is truly one of the cornerstones of Newgrounds history. Pico is a legend, it is really cool to see how he has grown over the years. If Pico 2 ever does happen (unless it is a cruel joke like you claim it is), I'm sure it will create a great wave of new fans to Newgrounds. I give you my thanks for keeping me entertained all of these years with your great character. Keep up the great work Tom!

[When The Bomb Goes Off]

Very creative.

I found this to be somewhat similar to the Four Secon Fury games, but this a lot of different ideas to it. I have to ask, why did so many games contain turtles? It was funny how they kept reoccuring. My favorite minigame was the one where you had to make the teacher walk in and all the students loved long division, that was hilarious.

I finished the game with forty percent. I know my score was terrible, but I stll had a blast playing this game. The animation was simple and I enjoy some of Scott Joplin's music. I hope to see more flashes like this from you in the future. Keep up the great work!

[Sneaky Snake's Adventure]

An entertaining game.

By playing level one, I thought this was simply going to be a game of pressing the "f" key numerous times. Thirty minutes later, I thought "Wow, I'm still playing this game." Despite its simple concept, I found this game to be pretty addicting and funny. You could actually pass this off as a game to help younger kids how to type. Anyway, keep up the great work!

[Press Your Luck]

Just what I needed.

I always loved Press Your Luck and Whammy, I'm so happy that your recreated it. It was hilarious hearing the theme music and audio from the Whammies, it made the game feel so authentic. I actually got nervous during the game and had to stop midturn, I couldn't stand the thought of losing my imaginary money. I want to be a game show host when I am older, so hopefully this will help me out. Keep up the great work!

[Effing Hail]

Highly addictive.

This game was a total blast to play. It is very original, I was playing for an hour. The concept of this game is so awesome, I loved knocking out the planes and the satellites. The controls were easy to learn and the animation was excellent. I can't get the song that you featured in the game out of my head. Anyway, keep up the great work!

[Windows Ties]

Funny Windows parody.

I found all of these mock desktops funny, and yours was no exception. The cool thing about this one is that it actually functioned as a desktop, web searches and all. I liked the one feature where you can dress up the Windows logo, that was hilarious. I also gotgive props for putting Ruby by Kaiser Chiefs in there, that is an awesome song. I'll recommend this to the Windows collection. Keep up the great work!

Thanks man :)

[Neon Layers]

Very creative.

Granted, I'm terrible at these games and didn't manage to get too far into it, but I thought this game was pretty fun. The concept of this game is really unique and original, it is a great idea for a game. The controls were easy and the animation was nice. I only got to level six, but I thinkm with a little more practice it could become easier. Keep up the great work!

[The Majesty of Colors]

A spectacle of a game.

This game was so creative and original. I see how you were inspired by I Wish I Were the Moon, I noticed a lot of similarities. I love games that bend you mind and require active thinking, this game was chock full of that. I unlocked all of the endings, and it was totally worth it. I hope to see more great games like this in the future. Keep up the great work!

[I wish I were the Moon]

Pinnacle of creativity.

I have never had an experience like this, this is a spectacle of a game. The whole concept of this game is wonderful, it was so much fun trying to figure out the endings. The animation was simple, but it was effective with the mood. Same goes with the music.

I took me a while to get the last ending, but I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I will have to see your other flashes, I am sure they are just as awesome as this. Keep up the great work!

[V-tech Rampage]

Better than I expected.

I was a tad skeptical when I saw this game was about such a sad topic, but ti was actually quite enjoyable. The game was created very well. The controls and atmosphere of the game were very nice. The sprite animation was good too. It's a depressing topic, but I'll rate it on how good the game was. I award you a perfect score, keep up the great work!
