[Black Cat Ops]

One of the worst games I've EVER played.

Very poorly done.... could have been done A LOT better... was like it was thrown together and called a game.
No point to this game... Clicking everything was incredibly repetitive.the same bottles and ghosts through out each level was boring. Brian have you tried this game yourself... is it what you would call fun?
Sorry for the bad comments, but I'm just being honest. The ending especially made me angry... I took the time... (i regret it) to finish this terrible game... and all it said was "congrats! restart?" where the fuck are the kittens?? isn't that the point... to save them... but you don't even see one cat in this whole crappy game.
you don't deserve the score you have. BOO

Then you must not have played many games because Newgrounds has possibly several crappy me-too knock-offs and low-quality slide shows masquerading as games for every one game that has any reasonable amount of effort or originality behind it. You don't happen to like this one--fine--but I don't think you appreciate it for what it is: a short (if you have good mouse skills), but scratch-made holiday-themed shooting gallery mini-game with plenty of original effort behind it and a twist in gameplay compared to most (and possibly all) shooting gallery games--timed reinforcements. You may prefer the status quo then--stick figure shooting galleries and nudie quizzes, perhaps?

Of course there is a point: fight through your enemies while also fighting the clock. Yes, I have played through the game myself and I enjoyed having a different challenge from the usual kinds of shooting galleries.

Honesty is fine, but you might try combining it with fairness and delivering it via something resembling a decently-typed literate argument. As for the repetitiveness, you are wrong about the same things being on each level. Four of the five levels introduce at least one new enemy each while the fourth level still throws together a different mix of enemies than the other levels and also grants a power-up so you can cut through them more quickly).

There was a picture of a cat on the title screen and there are swat/scratch marks throughout the entire game when you are fighting. You seem to have wanted to see a picture of the kittens you saved at the end--okay, that is a fair criticism and I will take it into consideration if and when I work on an update or a sequel.

no real skill involved... not very fun

the animation/ graphics was great...nice concept...but the game itself wasn't fun at all. all you do is press one button the whole time.... takes no skill....even a handicapped monkey could do it.

I've always thought myself of a semi-handicapped monkey... even if it is pressing just one button it takes some kind of AS skill, because AS is not only for buttons but for the timer, the gauge, the counter, etc... thanks for the review!
