PhoenixUL's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Escape from Helltowers]

with some work it'll be perfect

great graphics. really great.
my big qualms were the controls, for one. they were choppy and slow, especially when it came to walking around and turning.
sometimes the gun wouldn't respond to me hitting the fire button, either.
that, and the fact that you only have four hits and no health makes this game a bit aggrivating when you lose (since there's no place to save)
but other than that, it's really good

I don't know where else to put this so I'll put it here, thx for review btw...

Here are some tips for the difficult parts:

- Always shoot repeatedly and fast (especially with the Zappers).
- When you dodge, you can double tap the up key and it will always work.
- Save up HV ammo for the 2 lower levels (purple and dark areas).
- Don't waste EX ammo on Zappers (you'll likely miss and waste the few EX ammo there is).
- When shooting Zappers, wait till they get to their highest point and hit them twice.
- Use HV ammo on Zappers if you have any (you'll destroy them in 2 hits).
- If you can't beat a Zapper coming after you, walk out of the screen (if you can) and come back.
- EX ammo is useful if you're being attacked from both sides and you want to quickly dipose of one or both enemies.

If you follow these tips you should be able to beat the game in 3 or 4 tries. :)

[Rotting Onslaught]

a pause button .would. be nice though

gavD responds:

That's a very good idea - I'll try to implement it in future games
