"Great game but...."

date: September 5, 2006

The only thing that was weird is that you could see your opponents cards. I dont think you even had a hand.

Aside from that it was very well done, scripting this must have been fun. Once again you show everyone up with a very well scripted game.

Cant wait for the next game that you make. *cough* RPG or online multiplayer *cough*

Author's Response:

Yeah, I really must start playing around with XML and PHP/ASP comm... I dunno how well my main ASP domain would handle multiple players, but it's the way forward and something I need to try out. It's just finding the time to develop game engines that's tricky.

Oh yeah, and you don't have 'a hand', you have the pick of six :)

Thanks for the review

"O Hell Yeah! I'm loving this Newgrounds Game!"

date: September 5, 2006

Wow, one of the best Newgrounds Games I have ever played. I like how you switch the name of the game from Texas Hold'em to Newgrounds Hold'em, very creative! I like the Preloader a lot. One of the best Preloaders I've have seen in ages that is Newgrounds related. I am guessing it was created by you. The Buttons looked really cool, Newgrounds Style Button. The Music was Fantastic! It really matched well and it felt like I was actually in the Casino. The reason I said this was because I heard an audience in the background. The Newgrounds Cards and the Tokens looked very realistic. The Cards represented famous characters and icons on Newgrounds, which was pretty cool and creative. It's cool how you can have a bank and how much you wanna wager on your bets. I have a really good feeling I am going to play this game all night. It is really one addicting game. I have a really good feeling that this flash is going to get first place just by the look of the score. Overall, this flash was Fantastic and I enjoyed playing it. Fantastic Work Denvish! Responses are gladly appreciated. :D 10/10 for you!

GRAPHICS: 10, Just plain Beautiful. Love the outlets and the Newground Style it has to it. It looked really Fantasic, I'm Speechless right now.

STYLE: 10, Damn Dude, Love the Style of this Newgrounds Game. It's a Casino game that was transformed into a pure Newground Game. Pure Awesome right there.

SOUND: 10, Another 10, you are on fire my friend! The Music was really Fantastic and the Sounds that the Audience was making in the background was really cool! Love the Piano playing!

VIOLENCE: 5, Some kids really shouldn't be playing this game because it's a Casino type of game. O fuck that, this game is Awesome! Fuck the rules! lol!

INTERACTIVITY: 10, You can get to do a lot fo stuff in this game. It's very addicting and I am playing it right now as I typed this Review.

HUMOR: 7, I found this flash a little funny. Just because some of the cards make me laugh like the Josh Bedn one. lol!

OVERALL: 10, A Beautiful Game Denvish! Bravo and cheers! I am going to play this game all night!

Wow, that's one hell of a review. Yeah, I did create the preloader, or rather adapted it from the NG 10th Anniversary preloader that's knocking round on my site somewhere.
The music did take some time to find, I spent a good few hours downloading AP tracks, it's trickier than it seems to find music that suits casino games.

The buttons were mostly ripped, with a lot of editing, straight from the NG web source, so you can thank Stamper for those. Of course, this game will probably look out of date when the new layout comes in...
I am surprised that this is scoring higher than some of my API games, which are more complex and took longer, but then I guess that gambling is addictive =)
As for some kids not playing the game, I'm guessing you haven't unlocked all the decks yet... the last one is definitely 18+ material, even if the images are small.....

Thanks for taking the time to write the review, all feedback is appreciated whether good or bad, but it's better when it's all good =D

"Yay, its Denvish!"

date: September 5, 2006

I really enjoyed this game, and the fact that you submitted a flash after so long, if it was long. This game was really a really original idea. I thought it was going to be an actual Texas Hold 'Em game, but I was sadly mistaken.

I really enjoyed the NG layout that you used for this game. It was really cool. Even the NG text and buttons were used in this flash! Also the different cards were pretty cool and I like how you used various alias' and flashes as the picture for the card. The background was pretty simple, but so is the NG site itself, so....
As I said, this was a pretty original idea. I like how you could choose which hand you had a feeling to win instead of playing it out with the comp. Of course, that kind of shows laziness though...

The sound in this flash was done really well. The music itself was really fitting of the situation, but after hearing it for a while, it got knid of repetitive. I also enjoyed the various sounds of a Poker Room in the background. The controls were pretty simple, but they were presented without any flaws.

Overall, a really great game that I enjoyed a lot. I had a blast playing it. Nice job, Denvish!

5 out of 5

Author's Response:

Well... I think the variation of the game you're thinking of is Casino Hold'em, where you play against the dealer. Most online versions I've seen of the game work on the same principle as this; you get to choose which hand(s) you want to bet on. I actually find it a lot more fun to play than other versions, although I may well adapt it and release a version where the other hands remain unrevealed and are played by AI. We'll see. Anyway, mucho gracias for the review, glad you enjoyed it =)

"Looks like you'll win daily feature for 9/6/2006"

date: September 5, 2006

or no more than second. Excellent job you did. I had to vote 5. I'll keep voting 5 for you for a week until you get you a weekly award. Excellent, can't wait to see more of your works.

Author's Response:

Thanks, this won't get Daily Feature but I'm more than happy with the reaction to it - it's very different from my other games. Cheers for the review.

"Really Interesting..."

date: September 5, 2006

...a really interesting take on a game that's still popular but has a million versions of it out there. Makes it pretty interesting to be able to bet on ANY of the hands and try to maximize your return, giving it a healthy sense of strategy.

Author's Response:

Yeah, it's a bit of a deviation for me, but I like variety.

Generally I never vote on the winning (highlighted) hands, but on the ones with medium odds, like 4/1, 16/5. Seems to work a lot of the time, couldn't tell you why though.

"WoW, just WoW!"

date: September 5, 2006

Not only for the game. I love to poker with friends. And when there is alcohol....well...let the fun start I say. :)

Clever game man. You really put some effort into that, even if it doesn't look like it. I had/have fun playing it...the best thing is that I can play it with...MY music. I can't thank you enough for that Denvish. Thanks a bunch, that made my day. :)

Keep up the very good work!

Author's Response:

Yeah, it's taken a while. And I spent a looooooooooong time browsing the AP before I settled on your track for the 'heavy' one. Glad you liked the game, it's been a while since I released one so it's nice to see it going down well.

"Good stuff"

date: September 5, 2006

Nicely put together game, good graphics that go very well with the newgrounds theme (duh). I would reccomend a way to play the game so you can't see all the other hands? So it could be like a game against A.I poker players. I'm not much of a scripter so i don't know if that would be hard or not ;)

All in all great stuff.

Author's Response:

Would be possible, yeah. Hadn't even considered it since this is the way that Hold'em is generally played on casino sites. Maybe I'll do another version at some point.
