DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Plazma Burst 2]

I experienced lag while getting it to start, and even more lag while playing. You should offer a way to turn down the graphics and features. That would be a good start to eliminate some of the slowdown.

[Haunted Lands]

There were many great Dos games back in the day. This game comes close but does not measure up to those old school classics. Graphics are decent enough but could have more attention to detail. It was a good idea, but just poor execution.

[Adpocalypse (Prototype)]

The hero is basically a stickman with a gun. However, he has some personality and detail. Controls work well, only thing I could suggest would be a double jump. I killed everybody and made it to the end of the game.

[Killer Kim and the Blood Arena]

The character and the enemies are all too small. They should be larger so you can see them. Where are the prizes and the power ups? Every room after you kill them all, should provide at least a prize or a power up. Including plenty of power ups would really help this game.

[Guardians Of Lodino Forest]

Mixing golf with a run and gun game is a very interesting idea. The retro graphics make this seem like a Saturday morning cartoon. If this game had a practice more, it could help the player sink the ball with ease.

[Klee: Spacetime Cleaners]

This is a nice little run and gun game. Graphics have a good level of attention to detail. If you added an endless mode that would make this, feel more like a complete game. You can always add more upgrades to any game of this type.

[Macrowave]

Pixel art graphics make this look like a standard game, but it is not. This game is all about protecting Mac. If Mac could take more than one hit, then the challenge level would be more forgiving. It was very slow when I would throw a weapon, that action should be much quicker.

[Broken Guns]

The game should give you more time to figure out the crazy controls before the action starts. It takes a minute to master them, but you already have enemies up in your face. If you allowed the player to take more hits before death, it would help the player to play longer.

JauqGames responds:

All good feedback. I won't be updating this one, but I will keep this all in mind for a potential sequel.

Here's a tip: Enemies won't spawn until you destroy the first time bomb, so if you avoid destroying it too early, you'll get extra time to practice (up to 12 seconds). You could even purposefully let it run out, get a game over, then just click "play again" and get more time to practice indefinitely. I will admit, it's not ideal, but it works.

[Exotic Tiger Adventure]

The Tiger King was the biggest thing when CoVid first started, but now it has sorted just faded away. This game looks fun at first, but then the flaws start to be presented. The controls are wanky, and you seem to get hit more times than seems fair. If you tightened up the controls, and removed some of the unfair attacks, it would be improved.

[Contract Rush]

Graphics look fresh and have good attention to detail. Controls only took a sec to master. The challenge level was fair. Including more power ups and health could help this game be even better.
