DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crystal Wizards]

Pixel art strikes again in the land of Graphics. Controls worked well enough for me, so no issues with them. Its a strategy game, so you have to plan out what you want to do to complete the challenge. I would make the people people bigger, but that is just me. All in all, it is a fun game about Wizards and a crystal.

[Gravitate]

Graphics are once again pixel art, everybody likes the retro style. Trying to figure out how to ride gravity is a bit tricky. I had to try it out a few times to get the feel. Once you master the gravity skill, than you will progress in this game. I enjoyed it, but it could use more content and places to explore.

[GuraQuest(New Characters + F&F B-Side Update)]

Pixel art graphics are pretty much the standard these days when making games. I mastered the controls quickly so no issues for me. This game is a nice little hop and bob platformer.

[Moomoo's Maple Mishap (First Demo)]

The graphics are pixel art and retro influenced. The characters seem to small, they should be larger. Controls were okay, but sometimes the shift roll could be too slippery. If you added more levels and content, there would be much more improvement.

[Wheelbot & Clyde]

The graphics are pixel art and look retro enough. Controls are okay, and allow you to go fast. This game seems to be all about going as fast as possible. The concept of running through the ending of the stage to start back at the beginning seemed odd to me. I guess it was an easy way to make the game feel longer?

[Flip Palace]

The black and white graphics give it a no thrills look. It took a second to figure out all the controls and they work well enough. There is a learning curve, but once you get the feel for the game you can really start cooking. This is a simple little puzzle game.

[M-Bot Simulator]

This game has no graphics at all, just text. Controls are just basic point and click. Not bad for a choose your own adventure style game. Fine enough for a Robot Day 2021 submission. It could use more razzle dazzle. It is just so plain and bare bones.

[Ann]

Graphics are all pixel style, so that is nice. Controls is where I had some issues. They were stiff and gave me issues if I tried to so things too quickly. The anime style was a nice touch. Fixing the controls and removing all of the lag would really help it improve.

[Pixoul's Tower]

Graphics are pixel art and they can really grow on you. However, this game has a bad habit of showing a black screen. Once a black screen triggers you have to refresh the game. That is a major flaw that will turn off many players. Controls are simple as it only uses one button. Once you correct the black screen bug, there will be overall improvement.

[Blaster Hazard]

Graphics have a low rez theme which actually works well. No issues with the simple controls at all. There could be move actions and ways to kill the enemies. This is a fine submission for the LowRezJam 2021.
