DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Platoreyo : DEMO]

Graphics are colorful, but need more detail and polish. Controls are okay, but when you die you have no idea what to do. I randomly pressed things and r restarted the game. You need more than just jumping and spikes. It needs more levels as well.

ThornTreeGameDev responds:

Thx so much i fixed it

[Break An Egg]

Graphics look nice and retro. There should be more action and goals to accomplish. The music could be better. Being able to make this into a ROM this amazing. Will you be making more flash games into Roms?

drludos responds:

Hi, yes it was meant to be a simple game (it started as a game for the 0h game jam, then I continued working on it). Actually this is not a Flash game made into a ROM, but an actual Genesis game ROM played through an online (HTML5) emulator (here RetroArch with the Genesis Plus GX core, ported to HTML5 by Toadking: https://toadking.com/retroarch/)

So yes I do plan to make other games for old consoles, and then release it online in a similar way. Last month, I did another Genesis game (https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/719288) and last year I did a Gameboy game (https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/708650)!

Feel free to contact me if you need more info about how to make games for retro consoles!

[scratch terrain generator]

Graphics are lines that make terrain in black and white. Adding color would make every look better. I experienced some slowness when the red block came out. A game this simple should not have any lag.

The-Infiltrator responds:

It's a problem for me, too. I'm fixing it right now! Plus, I will add colored blocks.
Thank you for your review! ;)

[Adam's Adventure]

The characters are all way to small. I think that is a sword attack, but you can't tell due it being so small. You should move much faster. That way you could run past the monsters and grab those coins. The collected coins could be used for upgrades instead of doing nothing.

[Thruster Buster]

The graphics need work and more detail. Controls could be tighter as well. If you added checkpoints it would increase the gameplay. Nobody wants to start from the beginning each time. Don't forget the sound effect, they can really improve any game. As a beta, it feels incomplete.

[Heromore: The Invasion]

Graphics are basic, and Brandon is too small. You can barely tell if he is wearing glasses. This feels like a demo. Make Brandon larger, and improve the graphics. You should add clouds or the Sun in the background.

BrandonGames543 responds:

Okay but not too large. And fixing the background will be no problem!

[Maniacs]

The action factor is there as you have to place traps to stop the Maniacs. There could be more selections of the traps. Sometimes, the enemies will just stop. That really hurts the game, making it unplayable.

[Detiled]

Great graphics and concept. Excellent controls that were very sensitive. It can be challenging, but not unfair. It should be longer and have more levels.

[City of Grey]

This is a action platformer that would be okay, but needs work. Improve the controls and polish up the graphics. However, the music was a great choice.
