DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chthonic Brilliance]

The graphics gave the retro feel. It reminds me a little of The Adventures of Lolo, the NES original. Just the graphics, not the play control. This game is point and click. I managed to make it all the way to the end. The levels range from simple to somewhat challenging. My major complaint is why do I have to press exit after I finish a level? It should just auto go back to the menu screen.

cassowarii responds:

You can also just press anywhere on the screen to exit once the level is complete, no need to hit exit specifically. It does pause when you complete the level to let you bask in your victory. :)

[Deal with Putin]

This is a fun assassin game that will bring you back to the good old days of NewGrounds. Graphics are silly, and the animation is funny with his goofy arms waving around. I completed this game, and now I am finished with him.

The medals work, and I earned them all.

Little-Rena responds:

Yay!

[NEWGROUNDS AIR FORCE]

The Pixel Art graphics are sharp and have a decent level of detail. Controls are you basic W, S, A, D and the mouse. This is one of those " really hard for no reason games. " If you want to make a hard game, you have to start off easier and work your way up. If most of your players cannot survive the first 30 seconds, then you have done something wrong. Lower the difficulty, and maybe use a life bar instead of just a one hit kill.

MoeAnguish responds:

I disagree. I don't think i did anything wrong. This game is intentionally hard because i wanted the experience to be tense and chaotic, and judging by previous reviews, I've succeeded at that.

[CAFEY]

Graphics are decent, you can tell the coffee from the sugar. You use the mouse for the controls, so that works well. How long are the rounds supposed to be? I played round one and killed 240 sugars, and then I was bored. You should either add a time limit until you win, or the number that is needed to complete stage one at the top of the screen. Also, you should translate everything into English. Those changes should help this game improve.

Spodeurman responds:

Hi ! Thank you for playing Cafey
This game was an old game and i gonna work for upgrade the next ones coming soon !

[Escape From Ghost Freddy]

Graphics are bare black and white pixels. Controls are decent enough. This is a really short minigame. Pizza places will always be dangerous at night. Just when you thought you were safe from mechanical animals, now you have to worry about ghosts. You should make this longer and with more content.

ReiMouse responds:

Yeah, I'll try to make my games longer from now on.

[Camilla Pierce Vs the Golden Eyed Girls]

The Pixel Arts graphics have a nice anime flavor. The main character is actually not short for once. The controls were okay, including a way to remap keys would-be very helpful. I like the choice of playing normal for fun, or the timed mode for a speed run. This is a top-notch game.

ShibeyFaceGames responds:

Thanks so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Custom controls are a great suggestion, I'll consider that for a future update! (Though gamepad support will probably arrive first)

[LOVE and KILL]

The graphics start off black and white and provide a creepy visual from the start. I am not the biggest fan of shift as a key, but controls were decent. You should allow players to remap the keys. If you added more weapon choices and skins, this could really improve.

Vonka responds:

I'm sorry, but I have to leave this control setting for shift fans.

[Pinball Dash]

Graphics are poor and need to look better. Controls are decent at times. Gameplay was happened by slowdowns and lag. Next game, take your time and do not rush it out in just one day. Also, this is just a demo, so you lose points. The finished game could be an improvement.

max720 responds:

The reason why is I lost the source code so I have to rebuild it from leftovers because it got corrupted

[Shooting Over It]

Graphics are average but could be better looking. What are the controls? I pressed every key and number on my keyboard, and nothing happened. I was just about to quit, when I figured out you are supposed to shoot the ground to jump. Who would ever think to do that? You have to tell people how to play your game in the Author comments, if you want people to play it. Your gun really needs a double shot, like a double jump, to get pass some of these platforms.

alihilal responds:

I get your concern but it says the controls in the author comments?

[Neighbors-fight-DEF]

Graphics are decent, you can tell everything apart. What are the controls to play? You should always list the controls in the Author Comments. I have no idea what to do because you never told us. You should include what to do and the plot in the author comments as well. Doing that will help your games get better.

roberalegre responds:

In the main menu there is a buttom where you can see the controls. But thanks for your comments it help us a lot ;)
