DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Epic Time Pirates]

I have played this game years ago, and just recently came back to it. The graphics still hold up, but the gameplay is very laggy. After playing for 30 minutes, it crashed on me. I refreshed four times, but it never came back. Nothing worse than a fun game that gives you an error.

[Severe Road]

The graphics are probably the best part of this game. The gameplay has totally been ruined by bus, glitches, and the lag monster. Lag is the one thing that can ruin any game. Once you fix up the basics, the game will improve.

[Radioactive-Decay: Day1]

There is nothing more interesting than a good demake. I have played Half-Life many times, but this is a totally new spin on the original game. If only this was really a game for the classic NES.

[Bloody Hell]

Why are the figures so small? They should be larger and have much more attention to detail. This game could really use a practice mode. The action picks ups so quickly you can get killed before you even know what happened. The music really gave the spooky feeling.

[Family Rush]

This is a short and sweet runner and gunner game. I enjoyed the gameplay, and I know that I have seen this game in the past. Nothing brings a family together better than killing the undead.

[Astrobots]

This reminds me of that old school arcade game RoboTron, but updated. I can definitely see that it was influenced by it. The ability to save at checkpoints was a much better idea than player lives.

[Strongerman]

You can tell that this was inspired by the classic Ninetendo Gameboy. Graphics have that crisp retro feel. Controls took a minute to master. The challenge level is tough but fair. It could be harder for new players that are not used to old school difficulty.

[The Devil's Daughter]

Graphics are decent for a runner and gunner game. The gameplay was going well, until the lagged kicked in. Lag can ruin even the best game. Once you correct the slow downing, this game will really improve.

SinclairStrange responds:

Thanks for the reviews of the previous games! (Thought I would just comment on just one) Sadly a lot of these games were made years ago and also within 72 hours Ludum Dare game jam so sadly they've all have issue due to the short time in order to develop them.

Hope you've enjoyed them despite that, have a great day ^-^

[NG: Zero Hour Demo]

Pixel art graphics will always look good, there is almost no way you can mess them up. The controls were tight and responsive. The gameplay was fun to run and gun all those enemies. However, it is only a demo so it loses points.

[Punk Raid]

Graphics had a high level of detail for a running and gunning game. I had no issues with the controls at all. More games should allow you to continue having fun even after you die.
