DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[ShapeMaze]

Graphics are decent pixel art, but this game is all about the challenge. Controls are the bare bones WASD or Arrows to move. Gameplay is where things start to break down. You should include a map or compas, so we know where we are supposed to go. I just ended up going back and forth as the board changes shape.

[Shelled Shinobi]

I can see the influence of Ninja Gaiden from the original NES. Especially, with the infamous Ninja Gaiden wall jumping. The controls are responsive, and that makes it easier to play with game as a speed run. This is a nice platformer game.

[Rescue in Faraway Fields]

The arcade style graphics seem like this could be a port to the original NES. From the cute look you might not notice the challenging difficulty. You can never go wrong with adding power ups and different weapons.

[Super Cosmic Land]

It looks like you mixed Super Mario Land 3 the Gameboy game with a little touch of Bomberman the classic NES game. The graphics have that old school feel. The platforming aspect gave me some slowdowns. The lag was really ruing the game's fun.

[Ranata the Frog and the Broken Forest]

Graphics are Pixel Art, but the frog could use more attention to detail. The controls took a try or two, but I was able to master them. It would be nice to earn or buy new moves, like a double jump.

['Curse of the Sock']

I can see some influence from the Castlevania games for the Classic NES. The graphics have a Halloween vibe that is spooky and creepy. I had no issues with the control. Gameplay was fine and had no slowdowns.

[Demystifying the Christmas Tree]

This is a Christmas themed game, but with a twist. You play as a cat trying to ruin your Christmas Tree. Graphics are a cute version of Pixel Art. This is a nice little one or two player game.

[UNITRES Dreams]

Graphics are 16 bit pixel art, all the characters have a high level of detail. The controls work well enough. Gameplay can be tricky at first, but once you master them it gets easy. Lots of good music and sound effects as well.

[Jump Forge]

This is a game that was designed to be played on a Gameboy color. Graphics are 8 bit style Pixel Art. Controls are simple and effective. The ability to create and load levels really increases the replay factor. This game is very fun.

[FireBlob]

This reminds me of the original NES game Fire and Ice. Controls are basic and simple. Gameplay is easy and fun. This would be a good starter video game for small kids.
