DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[salary man vol:0]

This animated comic is rough, but could show potential. The story makes sense and not to difficult to follow. Add much more content, polish the graphics, and things will improve.

cajadeOjos responds:

well I have planned 6 more pages for the first volume, and the roughness was an aesthetic decision, although now i'm second guessing if it was a good one. Mainly I wanted to see the format and initial response to an interactive comic, aside from that thanks for the input!

[Undead Uprising 2D]

This is a game where you fight the undead minions. The minions run at too quickly and some of them take too many shots to defeat. You can be overwhelmed fast. Especially, within the start of the game. Make the undead slower or only use weaker ones at first.

[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!
