I decided to brush off the dust on my newgrounds account and submit some content I've been working on, against all better judgement.

T E T R I S ' D: The Game

"Cool game, but could be MUCH, MUCH better."

date: October 11, 2009

The concept is excellent, but the game could be much better.

First off, there should be some music while you're on the main menu, reading the tutorial, etc. Some sound effects for menu selection. A cleaner interface and layout for the menus and buttons.

The game play is excellent. However, the game field could be improved by a lot. Make the game field wider, or perhaps use the sort of feel like the animation had. There should also be unique sound effects for jumping and flipping.

I'm also just not feeling it with the background and it's glossy trees.

The achievement system is extremely bugged, and I feel as if there's TOO MANY achievements. All I did was begin playing the game, and already achievements popped up all over the place.

Additionally, if you were going to add achievements, and make a game based off the original animations, you perhaps should have tried contacting Tom or someone else, in order to get access to the actual achievement system. Or, are the achievements in the game new a placeholder, hoping one day you'll be able to do so?

In a nutshell, I love the concept of the game, but I feel the game could be improved by a heck of a lot. They way I'm feeling it, is that someone just got finished with their game tutorial a few days after they've first installed flash.

I'm sorry if you feel that's a bit too negative, but I honestly believe this could be something greater, and I hope you improve upon the game someday.

Happy Birthday Frank!

"Needs more added."

date: October 6, 2009

Perhaps you were in a rush to get this done for a Frank... Or perhaps it was suppose to be a real animation and there is no Frank. I honestly don't understand if it's dedicated to someone, or if the whole animation was suppose to just exist in it's own universe.

If the latter is true, this animation needs some serious work. If the way you drew everything was your art style, that's fine... But you need to add more to the animation.

You can start with adding some background music, perhaps some sound effects. Sound effects for the hot tub, phone ringing, etc.

You can even get a step farther and try to at least attempt some voice acting for the person on the phone. If all you have is your own voice, and it doesn't match, you could always just record yourself muttering incoherent words, so they can go along with the text.

Anyway, if there's really a Frank... Then Happy Birthday Frank.

"Most fun I've had on this site in awhile!"

submission: Madness Accelerant

I'm quite pleased with this game! A lot of the games that come from the people at Newgrounds and the website owners, are all truly remarkable!

However, this one takes the cake for me! The action was amazing. The progression relative to the movies... It was just thrilling!

Managing having to attack the boss while beating up and attacking other people truly keeps you on your toes, and gives you that "rush" feeling that a game like this should!

With the new medal system in place, this makes playing the game over and over again seem a lot more exciting!

Awesome job!

Our Invaders - Hania

"Another part fo the series? Awesome."

date: August 24, 2009

These "Memory Planet" related songs are my favorites from you. They really have a place in my heart, and I can actually see in my mind the images you portray. Your essence that goes with your music fits a certain nostalgic, personal feeling within me... You really know how to bring it out.

I'm glad you still update your Newgrounds page! You made my day so much better by the fact that I saw this, and heard this song.

Keep it up, Hania.

(PS. Great work on your part in Tarboy!)

Come Closer - (Hania)

"Excellent!"

date: May 29, 2009

You somehow always seem to write songs on exactly how I'm feeling inside my own soul and mind, but I never seem to know what those words or feelings are until you seem to write a song about it.

This song has a different meaning for me, a bit of a reversal. Trying to reach for someone I've never met, someone I picture in my mind very clearly who isn't there. I know that's no where near the meaning of the song, and it's about people who were once there, but are now intangible, lasting in our memories... But still, for some reason the words just seem to open up feelings in me and subconscious emotions and thoughts that never spring to the surface, that is, until I listen to your music and singing.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I absolutely adore your voice, but more than that, your soul and heart that you put into your songs. Your music isn't music. Your music isn't words. What you produce is beyond that, Hania.

If you have any CDs for sale of other works, or if you have even a CD of what you've released for free that can be purchased or obtained in physical form, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I wish you well, and I hope you're doing well these days, despite a recent song about death...

FFVII - Boss Battle

"Hahaha"

date: March 21, 2009

Oh lawd. I remember this. Fire sent this to me when we were planning the FFREO april fools joke. It never panned out because you beat us to the punch!

Haha, this is horrible, but I'll give you a 3 and a 10 review rating anyway. I can't believe you posted this on Newgrounds.

Heh, come to think of it, I should upload my failed Final Fantasy compositions too...
