[Griswold the Goblin 2 CH1]

Good game!

Nice one! Really well done game with good easy to use menus that really add to the feeling. The intro was really nice with the 3d effects, was that made enterily in flash? I got the feeling you are inspired by the Discworld games more than Monkey Island. The music and sound effects when picking something up sounded a bit like Discworld. Ovarll a great game! Some good critcism is also good so i have to point that could be better.

First i think the goblin walks a little funny, it think the animation of his walking could be better considering how nice everything else looks.

I also found it hard sometimes to see where there was another part you could walk into and change screens. But thats a problem a lot of "real" point and click games has to.

Lastly it would be fun if the goblin actually speaked when you was looking at something instead of only text.

Keep up the good work!!

Lilg used a 3d graphics application called c4d to create the 3d effect in the intro sequence. Monkey island was a huge inspiration for Lilg while I was more inspired by games like kings quest. I've never played/seen discworld before so I'm not sure. The issue with the walk is the fact that the way Griswold is drawn with his posture, its very hard to animate him. This is something that Lilg will be working on improving in the sequels. I think there would be way too many sounds if Griswold spoke for every interaction. While it would be impressive and cool, the games file size would be huge and it would also be a lot of work to get all that sound in the game.

Thanks for the review :D

best game ever in flash

So good! Think this game for the Nintendo DS wih the pen! It s like made for that system. The maker for this game could be rich if he contacted someone to get the game out for that system

[Project Validus: Survival]

Really good!

I like this! I love zombies by some reason i dont understand.. maybe the whole survive in emty city do what you like thing..
This game has SO mutch potensial. The think I realise when playing this game is how I would like to have a game similar to this on a console. Sure you have Resident Evil and Dead Rising. But THIS is more like the think I would like to play if developed more.
I say this have potensial beacouse now it seems just like a demo i think it is. And I dont think a game like this will come on a console anythime soon if ever so I would be realle glad if you could continue on this game.

Now it is like a really good bonestructure to build from. You need to add better graphics, bigger areas, some sort of goal in anyway and so on. This could be really great. I like the music! Im looking forward to see what you will do in the future, please stay with this and continue work on it. Its really GOOOD! I have never liked a newgrounds game but this is different. Now i gonna play some more. Keep up the good work!!
