DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ceaseless Castle]

Action platformer WIP. Characters are too small. They need to be larger or zoomed closer to the screen. Controls take a few tries to figure out. I ended up changing the controls. This has potential with the metroidvania formula.

FocusedPhoenixGames responds:

I could zoom the camera in a bit, but it might make it more difficult to see the enemies and do the platforming.

[Game about poco x3 pro]

Simulation demo. Graphics are decent enough to tell everything apart. I had no idea what was happening because this game is not in English. You should add an English translation.

tari111 responds:

Yes, you are right, but I don’t know how to make translations, plus I was targeting a Russian audience.

but I will try to do it in English, and perhaps there will be another version (Game about poco x3 pro "EN").

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND FOR YOUR COMMENT

[Runners' Grave]

Maze themed flash. Graphics show off different colors on various levels. Gameplay was going okay until you introduced the sword. You should have a little tutorial that explains how to use the sword properly.

SeptagonStudios responds:

Thank you for your feedback. The sword introduction may need some work.

[MINECRAFT TOWER DEFENSE: EPIX EDITION!!]

Minecraft themed spam. Graphics are decent but needs some razzle dazzle. Gameplay is clicking blocks on the side of the road and fighting off monsters all while running. When it becomes nighttime, you should explain how to build things and what the things do. The difficulty is too high. It needs to be lowered, so the player gets a feel for the mechanics.

BimbusTimbus responds:

Bowsette is on her knees, and has her mouth ready. She has a really large chest, with a cute little Princess tattoo. The gray background is empty and bare. However, you can't takes your eyes off of her.

[Built to Scale]

Visual novel about a business. It has some pictures, but it needs animation. If you like to read, then this might be the flash for you.

remarkablegames responds:

Thanks for the review. This game was made in less than 4 days for a game jam so unfortunately we didn't have that much time to polish the game and make it perfect.

[Atmospherics]

Soundboard gadget. Zero graphics and animation. It just plays sounds. This gadget needs animations that demonstrate the sounds being played.

mr-dreich responds:

Thanks for checking Atmospherics out!

I did not know the animation for sounds playing was broken for Web, i created this primarily for the mobile market and put in on the web for free. I will try and get that fixed.

Thank you for the feedback!

[Number Blunder]

Number themed puzzle. No graphics at all just text and numbers. It is a basic number sorting puzzle. If you added graphics and animation it would improve.

mr-dreich responds:

Thanks for you feedback! I wanted this to be as simple as I could possibly make it so I did not include any graphics other than simple UI.

[IGNIS-figuras de linguagem]

No idea what is going on in this game. Nothing is in English. You are floating in space while letters and numbers fly pass you. NewGrounds is an English website, you need to have everything in English.

Gustavoshark responds:

This is a Portuguese assignment from my school, Of course it won't be in English, the game description says that the game was not made for NewGrounds users.

[At Water's End]

Puzzle path maker flash. Graphics are good enough to tell things apart. You need to mark the ending, that way the player knows how to finish the level. You should add helpful hints in case the player is confused on how to advance.

AkvatGames responds:

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I’ll make sure the ending gate is marked out to better show the player where to go, and look into a hint system (which should also expand easily into a tutorial system!) Thank you again for playing!
