DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Into King Rabbit's Mansion]

Graphics are pixel art so it fits right into the current meta. Stealth games can be tricky, you have to make them challenging, but also fun to play. The not being able to jump mechanic had a definite effect on the gameplay. Nice work in making this in under 48 hours.

FadrikAlexander responds:

Thanks for playing!

[Leap Peasant]

Your pixel art skills look good and improved. I had some issues when it came to jumping. Not sure if it was just a bug, or part of the artificial difficulty. Seeing that you are trying to make this a rage quitting game, you never know how exactly you will try to frustrate the player. It did come out well in only six days.

AnderssonKev responds:

Thank you so much for that! :)

[Sub-Uber-Marine]

What happens when Crazy Taxi and a submarine game gets combined? Well, you get this new concept called Sub-Uber-Marine. This came out very well for being created in 48 hours. The music does a great job of synching up with the gameplay.

Extar responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you appreciated the music, that's always one of my favourite parts of making a game in Pico-8. Just to be clear this is the post-jam version, the version I submitted for the jam made in 48 hours only had the basic gameplay present. :)

[This is You]

This is a Madness Day visual novel type game. There should be more content, action, and things to do. It feels too short.

vhsdreamland responds:

an extended version is in the works!

[Halloween Art Collab [2021]]

This is a gadget that allows you to check out some Halloween art. Just point and click the arrow. There should be more things to do than just look at it. Perhaps being able to rank your favorite would make it more interactive.

Dreggsu responds:

yeah you have reason

[Forest Shack ( Prototype )]

Graphics are pixel art with a Halloween twist. It take a minute to get used to the critical attack style. The biggest issue I had was with the small screen size. It should really be much larger.

HatiValcoran responds:

If you think that 1.5 has a small screen size, you would had ended cross-eyed if you had played any of the previous versions.

[Nightmare Arena V:1.7.4]

Graphics are Unity, so either you love or hate them I had some issues with jumping, so you should fix that right away. I like the idea od being able to play multiplayer, but the lag prevents it from happening. I had to play with bots instead. Top notch for your first game.

GlarkerGames responds:

What issues did you have with jumping? Id love to fix it. Im working on fixing the lag issues but im not in control of the servers so only so much I can do.

[Pet the capdog!]

I have been running into a few gadgets and simulation games lately, so lets see what we have here. This game is all about dogs and if they need a pet. Most dogs are good and do need a pet. If you have a dog, or just like petting dogs, this could be the best game for you.

tscoct responds:

do you wanna play texas holdem

[Creature Mixer]

This is a good gadget if you already have characters to work with ahead of time. Most people do not, so that can make it not as fun. It would be nice if you added more action, having the figures fight each other. I believe that would be an excellent idea for a sequel, or a new game in the future. Let me know if you use my idea, or need a Beta Tester for that game.

Kenney responds:

That sounds like a pretty cool idea however for now I'd like to focus on tools like this, rather than games.

[LeviRamirez NFT Generator]

It is an interesting gadget game. Including some instructions would be a good idea. It feels like a giant inside joke, that many will not understand. This game has around thirty artists, but it could really use a Beta Tester. Let me know if you would like me to Beta Test your next game.

pollyanoid responds:

this game is perfect.
