DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Invaders]

Graphics are very bare bones. You should use Pixel Art, like every other game maker is using. Having a way to bind the keys is always the way to go. You should add more weapons and power ups.

[Pinball Dash]

Graphics are poor and need to look better. Controls are decent at times. Gameplay was happened by slowdowns and lag. Next game, take your time and do not rush it out in just one day. Also, this is just a demo, so you lose points. The finished game could be an improvement.

The reason why is I lost the source code so I have to rebuild it from leftovers because it got corrupted

[Shooting Over It]

Graphics are average but could be better looking. What are the controls? I pressed every key and number on my keyboard, and nothing happened. I was just about to quit, when I figured out you are supposed to shoot the ground to jump. Who would ever think to do that? You have to tell people how to play your game in the Author comments, if you want people to play it. Your gun really needs a double shot, like a double jump, to get pass some of these platforms.

alihilal responds:

I get your concern but it says the controls in the author comments?

[Neighbors-fight-DEF]

Graphics are decent, you can tell everything apart. What are the controls to play? You should always list the controls in the Author Comments. I have no idea what to do because you never told us. You should include what to do and the plot in the author comments as well. Doing that will help your games get better.

roberalegre responds:

In the main menu there is a buttom where you can see the controls. But thanks for your comments it help us a lot ;)

[A Green Man Goes Golfing]

The graphics are either messy and lazy, or a stroke of genius. Controls are one finger on z and one hand on your mouse. People need to stop being mean to green man. This is one of the weirdest golf games I have ever seen.

[Wilderness Walks]

Pixel Art graphics are crisp and fresh. The controls are mostly done with the mouse. Gameplay is about trying to outthink the level. This is a puzzle game that is all about trying to take a long walk.

[Hours of Reflection]

It was a nice twist of the normal pattern to have this game so unhappy. The depressing astrosphere comes across really well. You have to do what you can do with only 20 hours. This is still a pre-release, so it should be better once the finished game comes out.

[Shal's Game]

The graphics are pixel art, but why is the main character so small? You have this giant screen, and the main character looks even smaller inside it. Controls should be listed in the Author Comments, I used WASD to move and jump. Some of the platforming you have to be spot on to make it through. It looks good for your first game,
