DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Freeway Fury 2]

Freezing at the End

This is a very fun game, but it freezes when you finish the road. I had time left on the clock, but nothing. I play the game in firefox and I have the newest flash version. Can you please fix this?

[Toss the Turtle]

Fun turtle game

Toss the Turtle is a great game. Everything from the graphics, sounds, and controls are excellent. This game is like eating potato chips, you can't play just once. Well, you don't really eat this game, but you get the idea. lol

[Miami Shark]

Very fun shark game

Miami Shark is a very fun shark game. Excellent graphics and controls. Difficultly feels good. I really enjoyed the music. If you have not tried this game, you should check it out.

[Popeye]

Popeye on a motorbike?

This is an okay motorbike game. I am more curious about the choice of Popeye. you do know he is a Sailor?

[MeritocraticIndividualism]

Confusing Game

Had a hard time with the instructions, but I figured it out myself. Next time make instructions easier to understand. Background was strange but nice. Will have to check out more of your work. I do understand this is one of your older things.

[Dangerous Dungeons]

The Challenge makes it not fun

This game has nice graphics and sounds. Play control is okay but there is one major problem, the Difficulty. Dangerous Dungeons is very challenging for no reason. Why did you make this game so hard? Most players do not like hard games.

I want to like this game, but the challenge ruins the fun. I made it through the first nine levels, only to find the Boss. A giant bowling ball that chases you while you jump around and watch out for spikes. This boss requires split second accuracy and almost no margin for error.

Please lower the challenge is your next game. If you wish to make a hard mode, have it after you defeat the main guy. It could be a nice bonus for players that enjoy super stressful situations.

It seems that many of the reviews involve the Difficulty. I do not think that they can all be incorrect. I hope my constructive criticism helps you.

AdventureIslands responds:

The whole purpose of the game is to offer challenging old school gameplay, there are just as many people who love the difficulty as there are haters. What people find fun is relative and I am sorry that this wasn't your cup of tea.

[Heroes Of War.]

Heroes of Might and Magic Remake

This game is a remake of Heroes of Might and Magic. The graphics could of been better, but not a bad remake. Had fun playing this game. Will there will be a sequel?

kor6k responds:

If the game works fine, I will try to make a sequel with magic spells, new maps and I think more buildings in the map

[Flowered]

Fun Game

This is a fun flash game for little children. This is not my taste ,but others will enjoy it. Good graphics and play control.

[9/11 Tower Jumper]

This game is not fun

I understand that this is a 9/11 game, which in itself is a touchy topic, but why did you make it so challenging? Maybe you forgot that games are suppose to be fun? There are some people that enjoy impossible games and that is fine, but not everybody. This game feels like I already finished a game and now I am in Nightmare mode.

If you wish to make games this difficult, then you have some options. Offer a challenge system; easy, medium, or hard. Develop a normal game first, and then crank up the difficulty for an unlocked feature.

It seems most of the reviews mention this game challenge. Perhaps they are all correct? Please think about this before you make your next game. Thank you.

The medals work, and I earned them all.

Kevin responds:

Maybe you've never played a NES or SNES game but they are notorious for being ridiculously hard.

I like emulating that because I'm an asshole and I don't give a shit about your opinions.

[T-FULP: Questing For Club]

Type Fast or Lose

Text based games can be fun. It is nice to explore the world and discover new things. However, this game is not fun. It all comes down how fast you can type.
I have no problem losing in a game, if I can try again. If you lose in this flash, you must refresh the game to try it again.

Why was the gum on the floor? Did it have any use at all? All in all, this is not a fun game. Better luck next time.
