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!

[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! ;)

[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!

[Graveyard TD]

Graphics look off and need improvement. There should be more types of towers and upgrade options. If you fixed the graphics, made more tower types and upgrades , and polished it up this game would be much better.

CharType responds:

Thanks for the feedback! You identified some areas I could improve upon, that's very helpful. I'll try to work on those things in my future games.

[Taiga Escape]

An infinite runner mixed with sword fighter in an unique idea. Graphics look nice enough and have a retro feel. Being able to change the controls is always helpful, and would help here. This games suffers from slowness. Remove the lag and this game will really improve,

rgs-dev responds:

Thank's DoctorStrongbad, for your feedback!

I'm trying to poolish the game and will consider change controls or insert a controls option.

[Spacedust Defender - Reupload]

The outer space space graphics are dark, but colorful. Being able to change the enemies path puts a new twist on the old formula. Having more tower choices and upgrades will make it even better.

hopeslicer responds:

Yeah, I know, I've been told so by a lot of players.

Initially I had a bit more content & depth but I removed them since I was scared players won't like them
I've learned my lesson now. :))

Also, thank you! :')

[Circus Ringmaster Escape]

Graphics are colorful and have the circus feeling down pat. I have never seen a dog locked in a cage at the circus before, but the monkey made sense. It feels like this game was made complicated, just so players would have to use the walkthrough.

gelbold responds:

Thx

[Pong3D]

This unity version of Pong has issues. It crashed the first two times that I tried to played it. When it finally loaded, it was very slow. Lag can ruin even the best game. Graphics are low quality and should be improved.

qt01 responds:

You have a very bad pc and a very bad internet conection if you can't play this.
