DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Scopnix]

It is a shooting game trying to stop snow, but it is two different shooters at once. It can take a minute to get use to the controls. Graphics are nice, but they could look sharper. Adding more upgrades could help it improve.

MahiScarGames responds:

Thanks for your feedback.

[Outerim_demo]

The graphics are black and white and small. They should be larger and need color. Controls need work as well. A Save feature could work better than giving passwords. You will need lots of musical tracks and sound effects to be successful.

colorsCrimsonTears responds:

Thanks for your input. The black and white graphics were done as a
stylistic choice. It's how I wanted the game to look, cause I wanted it to
look different and stand out a bit.
I dunno what to do about them appearing small tbh...
I chose passwords as a throwback to retro games. It's honestly what
I was going for here.
And if you read my description, you would know that newgrounds kept crashing my
game until I took all the sound out. If you know of a workaround to get it back in,
I'd GLADY re-add the sound back in, because I spent a long time making the
sounds and music for this game. Lol.
But thanks man.

[Jump Monkey]

Graphics are colorful and retro. The challenge is easy, and there is almost no learning curve. There should be a way to change the controls. It is a fun game, but there is no ending or objective at all.

Segediinc responds:

Thanks for you feedback,


The goal in the game is to beat the other players highscore, there is an online highscore list. the earlier version if the game did not make this clear enough. we have updated the game now.

[Dodge This!]

This game is all about dodging and avoiding the blue. It starts off simple, but the learning curve can be a hassle. Adding more levels with different looking graphics and music could really make it fun to keep playing.

HadezBladez responds:

Its very hard to balancing that learning curve.
There might be the exe version that can use your own image but, for now i dont have any interest for that.

Thanks for playing man

[Game of the Angry Sun]

Graphics are really dark, especially the long shadows. It is an interesting take on an avoider game. This game can run slow. If you brighten the game and remove the lag, it would be an improvement.

TazShelby2016 responds:

Unfortunately, I permanently kicked myself from accessing the original game by updating unity. This was published way earlier than I had hoped, and is far from finished.

The overload was a big improvement from earlier, where it used to half in FPS from the editor to the player.

Eventually, this will continue in the form of new games. I may remake this game.

[Hospital Frenzy 4]

Graphics are colorful, but the people are too small. It is slow for such a simple game. It could help small kids learn a little bit about going to the hospital. Help them not be scared to get a shot or see a dentist.

wwggames responds:

Thanks @DoctorStrongbad. well you are the doctor, aren't you?

[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!

[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! ;)
