Place Review: BuildBox3

I am not a huge fan of building games, and I don't think they are a huge amount very good. Now BuildBox is a very weird building game. It's not a bad game; the fact that it includes Data Persistence unlike games with building 'baseplates' do. BuildBox is an entirely different type of building game; although it seems extremely simple, it can be pretty fun sometimes.

First of all, this game does feature classic building tools, which allows you to re-live life in the past on ROBLOX. I think this was a great choice of tools because it shows you what ROBLOX was like before they added a stamper; it allows you to re-live it if you were on ROBLOX in that time.

In this game, you spawn in your own area; you get a sort-of vending machine which dispenses parts, like Spheres and Quadrilaterals of such. You have the ability to resize and move and a lot more. This game features Data Persistence of which I predict is very likely to only save in your own area. The Data Persistence allows you to own three different saves, and load one at a time. This is a nice and persistent feature.

The scripting on this game is nice, it's not amazing; the best part is probably the data saving. It's a smooth; simple game. It could have some work done on it, including rather than many tools have one tool controlling the rest. And this game really needs to have a CFraming ability.

Building: 5/10
You build it yourself!!

Scripting: 6/10
Nice saving.

Overall: 5.5/10
Very nice game.

Thanks for reading.

Place Review: Nuke The Whales

Nuke The Whales is a classic game, one of my favourites too! I've been playing this game for years, and it was the first game to showcase the Corner Shadows on; it was an excellent choice of game to use to showcase Corner Shadows because it features a blocky look but still looks like an excellent game.

The first time I played this game, it was very bleak; didn't have many features. Now it includes: a timer; different maps; a rocket launcher and more! It's really changed since I last played it. I think these changes are for the better, however I do like playing more 'classical' games.

The building this game features is pretty smooth; the Whales that are used in this game are very blocky but when you combine them with the ambient shadows you really get a beautiful combination of graphics, it looks really good! I like the 'ol blocky style as much as the next person, although sometimes I do like some beautiful CFrames like 'Asimo3089' or 'LOLFUNNY12345', I think I prefer the blocky style with this game though.

The scripting this game endures is pretty good too. It has some smooth lines of code, allowing the game to move and change to it's own liking (assuming a game has a perspective). I think that Shedletsky's "big change" to this game has really shown I can't believe the difference half a year can make. I think you should play this game; like it too!

This game is an excellent specimen of a good game, and couldn't get any better in my opinion. It's just, amazing!

Building: 10/10
I really do love the blocky-style games.

Scripting: 10/10
Come on! He's an admin!

Overall: 10/10
Too good, too good!

Place Review: The Conquerors v2.13

The game "The Conquerors v2.13" by 'HatHelper' is plain epic sauce with extra spice!  You can just tell that plenty of scripting work was put into this game to make all the various components of it fit.  Now to go into a more detailed summary of the game.

So, upon joining it had taken me a few minutes to discover what the objective of the game is and how to play.  In order to successfully play the game you must attempt to eliminate the other player's bases by destroying them with your allies using Ground Troops, Tanks/Transport Vehicles, Air planes, Spacecraft and Watercraft, sounds simple right? Well, kinda. Each type of force varies on how to create it, for example you need  barracks to train ground troops and an airport for air crafts, etc.  It takes over an hour for an average game to go on, so don't join this game thinking that you can beat it in 5 minutes before you leave for class (Trust me I've tried, let's just say I almost missed my bus). Also when I mentioned the various forces available for the game? Well, I left one out, NUKES! Everybody loves nukes, heh.

Well, its now time to rate this son of a gun:

Scripting: 9/10 I really enjoyed how smooth it ran considering all the moving parts/new parts being created constantly.

Building: 7/10 Great building in all but if it had more detail it would be even more epic sauce. Although I can see some lag problems if it had more detail in to the building.

Creativity: 6/10 I've only seen a couple games like this on ROBLOXia but I've seen several similar games on Steam for example.

Total: 7.3/10 VERY Good game. Addicted to it on my first play!

Tips: Well, I can't really expect to see it being updating since I think 'HatHelper' Is P-Banned (Perma-Banned). But anyways here's some tips.

- More resources like oil to collect
-Maybe some different kinds of power crystals, Super Crystal, Gives off more cash per/minute

Anyways this concludes my FIRST place review here on Robloxia Sun, I hope to do many more!

Item Review: Pwny

Now, lets start off by mentioning that Pwny is an excellent piece of up-to-the-minute gear. It has a very weird means of control and when you get this bad-boy out during a fight, nothing can stop you; you immediately overpower your opponent. But I think the name 'Pwny' speaks for itself, don't you?

This gear is a reasonably priced at 800R$, and I think that it's good that not every Robloxian can obtain this brilliant gear, it's a real "trooper's" weapon.

To use this gear you would simply select it and click. Using it isn't the hard part, directing it is. Naturally, the Pwny's powerful weapon moves towards the direction you're looking. This isn't a bad thing, it allows it to be very hard to control and not easily aimed. The weapon a Pwny uses is a platform with spikes underneath, after a small amount of moving on the platform it will fall to the ground killing anybody underneath it.

This gear is very violent. Although I approve of defence and skill. I do not approve on violence, and this extremely dangerous weapon should only be used in life threatening situation. Sort of like 'it's you or them' situations, because then you can let them die.

Mesh Quality: 9/10
This is actually an excellent mesh, and really fits well with it's texture.

Texture Quality: 7/10
Texture fits well, but doesn't look all amazing in colours.

Looks: 5/10
Not a looker, but certainly a fighter.

Overall: 7/10
Excellent weapon and should be used in life threatening situations!

CFrame Review: Compound

Compound by 'Samaxis' is an excellent game, it features an excellent combination of brilliant scripting and outstanding CFraming in conjunction with the building it possesses. Even though this game takes a high amount of PC power, if you do have the computer that can handle it on maximum settings.


This game features a few interesting Guis, the Gui features the 'GetMouse()' function, allowing someone to manipulate the mouse without making them use a Tool or Hopperbin. One of the most bold gui is the lens-flare. For those of you who don't know what a lens-flare is, this is what a lens-flare is a series of beautiful light that the sun is casting over the lens of your eye or a camera. The lens-flare is in a certain angle which is determined by the angle of which you are looking towards. In Compound once you look at the sun, a lens-flare appears on your screen and is determined by the angle of which you are looking towards. This is a feature that is really beautiful, and just adds to the CFraming that Samaxis did in this game.


Compound has a collection of guns with which you can cycle through to find the perfect gun for you, to cycle through them you can just use your mouse-wheel to change the weapon, (sort of like Team Fortress 2). Some of the weapons are very nicely built and very well sized. Due to the fact that this game is a first-person shooter, the sizing of the gun and it's position has to be perfect, Compound is an excellent example of a game with precise positioning and scale. It's a perfect specimen.


Although I believe there is too little to do in Compound, it is an excellent game and possesses some of the best CFraming I have seen in a long time. Which is why, Compound is one of the top CFramed games of this 'era' in ROBLOX.


CFraming: 10/10
Wow, so excellent, I couldn't think of anything to say that's bad!

Scripting: 7/10
It's pretty good scripting, the lens-flare is especially good and really adds to the brilliant CFraming.

Overall: 8.5/10
This game is a very good specimen of a game that should be on the front-page and should be showcased on the ROBLOX blog to influence and encourage other users to put as much effort as Samaxis has in their games.

CFrame Review: The Wind

'The Wind' by Asimo3089 is an excellent specimen of a well-CFramed game in conjunction with some pretty nice scripting.  It contains a boat that circles the map and some grass overlapped by snow. With this seasonal feature the game looks like a reality. It contains white wind that makes the sound of a strong wind pushing force along your face.

The Wind has some brilliant CFrames added by Asimo, his ability to CFrame is really showcased in this game. I have no doubt that Asimo spent at least a few hours creating this game. His ability to showcase a season in real-time with excellent scripting and building really does make the game look beautiful. It doesn't look bad in any way.

This game has a very nice-fitting Skybox, and the clouds really do look like they are about to snow. The game's use of Dynamic Lighting is really visible and does look correct in the right manner. The house in The Wind is no different from all the other parts of building, excellent. The doors open when you push them running on a hinge. And the house has some well-fitted interior, such as tables and a basement that really works.

Given the choice I would play this game everyday just to admire the beauty and precision is possesses. It really does top all the games on ROBLOX.

Building: 10/10

Excellent, brilliant, I can't wait to play this again.

Scripting: 8/10

Excellent, but isn't top-top scripting.

CFraming: 10/10

Never met anybody so good.

Overall: 9.5/10

Too good.

Thanks for reading.

Curious Caps - DJ Hair

Hey, here's your first 'Curios Caps' hat review.
Today I will be reviewing DJ Hair.

DJ Hair - 150R$

So...you're browsing through the catalog, you see this great hat! It's got hair and headphones in one hat! Say you've bought membership for your account. And you've seen this hat you love for 150R$ you think to yourself, "Hmm, I've got to get this hat, it looks excellent".
Or, maybe you haven't got a membership and you're looking for a great item to spice up your look and have enough tickets for a currency trade to 150R$, a bit steep but it's potentially 2 hats in one, I'll take it.
You're excited. You think that ROBLOX has forgotten the true value of this hat! You click 'Character Customization' and wear your DJ Hair; it looks okay but the headphones are a bit tacky. Then you go off to brag about how you got 2 hats for the price of 1! You enter the game. You start to tell all your mates and strangers about it. Then somebody laughs. "You have a ponytail, hahaha". Then you notice. Then you realize what a fool you've been, You put other hats on. And remember that Shedletsky has said before "no refunds". Which saddens the grin upon your face.

This hat falls under the 'completely awful' section of these 'Curious Caps' reviews.

Unless you like the idea of a bad hairstyle and tacky headphones that is.

Overview:

Mesh - It's a great mesh, excellent. You can tell that time and effort went into making it. 7/10

Texture - The texture is tacky, and I hate it. 3/10

Style - It's awful and doesn't look right on a male, and if placed upon a female it looks wrong. 2/10

Overall - Not really anyone's type. 4.5/10

Hope you enjoyed
