DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Love Me Newgrounds!!!]

I played this when it first came out and I enjoyed it. I came back to check it out again, and now it will not load. I am unsure what happened. Once you correct this error, people will be able to enjoy this game much more.

Unfortunately it seems that a recent chrome update (and any browser based on chrome like edge etc) has broken some versions of renpy web -> https://www.reddit.com/r/RenPy/comments/ttdw79/maximum_call_stack_size_exceeded/ . While there may be some issues in the codebase it's primarily caused by some regression on the backend rendering of renpy web. As an online engine it's not very stable which is my own fault, the engine is pretty much in perma-beta. There are download links on itch.io so those will always stay up and definitely work!

Please let me know if these work for you, other solutions are to download firefox or to weirdly open the dev menu with f12 and launch the game, it'll work then.

Graphics have that retro feel, and the coloring looks nice. I mastered the controls very quickly. The trick to the gameplay is to not let the raindrops fall, or else things will get more challenging. There should be an option to change animals like a dog or a monkey, instead of just a cat.

This game takes the word of the game concept and mixes it with Pig Latin. I have not used Pig Latin since I was in middle or elementary school. If you altered the graphics and added something new, it would improve. At the monument, it feels closer to a knock off of the original.

Thanks for checking out the game and leaving some feedback! I was definitely trying to keep it as close to the original as possible, but I still see where you're coming from.

The graphics are sharp and defined. I can see the influence of Cuphead in this game. I mastered the controls right away. I am a big fan of upgrades and power ups in general. If you included them, it could help this game really improve.

The Pixel art graphics make you feel you are playing on an older computer. This game could really use different difficulty levels. That way people could start with easy and master how to play, before playing the hard difficulty.

[Echo Chamber]

The graphics are decent but could always be enhanced. Controls seem simple, but it takes a minute to master. You should make a sequel and add levels or upgrades to increase the gameplay.

Graphics could be improved, but you can tell everything apart. This is a baseball swinging and missing game. The bat should swing faster, that would really make the game easier.

The medal works, and I earned it.

[Duck It!]

This game is all about being a duck and exploring the metroidvania adventures. The difficulty level is firm but fair. If you are into ducks and being a slacker in general, then this might be the game for you.

[Reversary]

The color pallet reminds me of an Gameboy Color game. Being able to play as the bad guy is a good concept. Especially, when you are bigger, stronger, and have magic to kill that protagonist. However, he keeps coming back over and over. There was some slowdown, so make sure to get rid of that lag.

I like the 8bit influenced pixel art graphics. Controls take a minute to master, but then you will be able shoot like a pro. Gameplay had no issues, and this game can become strangely addictive. If you added more upgrades, it would give the ability to try out new attacks.
