Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

This was basically a bunch of flashy anime scenes that make no sense at all. People die and things blow up as in a videogame. If that's your thing you'll probably love it. Since I'm part of a crowd that prefers substance over style, well... I can't say this will please everyone. It deserves a 5.

"Horrible controls ruin it"

submission: Megaman X Next - The Game

date: August 3, 2009

You had a great idea, visibly put a lot of effort into this but the final product just doesn't work for me. The game moves way too fast, the controls are awkward and there are way too many botomless pits, specially if you consider how hard it is to time jumps and climb walls when the games moves so fast.

The common foes you face at the levels are way too fast, deal a lot of damage and are VERY annoying, specially the teleporting ones. Fighting them is so frustrating I just skipped them. Even then I couldn't finish a single level, due to missing jumps and falling in botomless pits. The parts where you have to jump on vanishing platforms were just unbearable.

I'm a Megaman fan, finished Megaman 9 and the first five X games, but this doesn't do it for me. If you make a slower version with evemies that don't annoy me so much I'll be very grateful.

Feels like I've said this a hundred times, but the speed thing is a known problem. Pretty sure I added it into the games comments a year or two ago (at least I hope I did, haveta double check that). However, overall the game is intended to be a fair bit faster and more aggressive than a traditional Megaman game. I wasn't out to clone Capcom's exact gameplay since I want it to be more of a twitch shooter meets platformer so beating the traditional megaman and X games doesn't really pertain here since Cap's style and my own aren't the same. It's like comparing Ninja Gaiden to Super Mario for example.
