DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico.EXE]

Graphics are average, but this game is all about the sounds. Get your headphones ready as you listen to the sounds and enjoy. You never know what will happen next.

The medals work, and I earned them all.

SpunkyMonkeyNG responds:

you a real one for earnin' all the medals !

thanks for checking it out !!

[Laser Dames]

Combining the classic game of Checkers with a more action orientated game just gelled really well. It can take a play or two to figure everything out, since there is a learning curve. No matter what, this game is fun, The music flows well with the gameplay.

thanks for playing :)

[Cosmodrome Demo]

Graphics are full of detail and have that outer space vibe. Your tutorial should go much slower. Break things down into bite size pieces and give demonstrations of things you are trying to teach. Some people learn better by doing. I did enjoy all of the music and sound effects.

JamesChapp responds:

Thank you very much for giving my game a chance! Greetings and soon I will return to work on it.

[Bulb Boy]

The graphics look nice, and you can tell everything apart. I was really getting into this game, but it crashed. I tried to restart it 3 times, but it would not reload. If you can fix that issue, then it would help people play your game until the ending.

STANNco responds:

i'm sorry it was crashing. If you can give me any more info maybe i can look into it

[NG: Zero Hour Lite]

This game seems to be very low quality, and it is. However, it's an April Fool's Day joke game, so you cannot take it too seriously. I am sure that the finished full game will be much better.

[Quarantine]

This game is all about trying to deal with the pain of quarantine. The main character seems very tired after only playing video games for a while. I would have enjoyed seeing more choices of video games.

MSGhero responds:

Definitely not within a game jam, but that's a good idea in general.

[Lovestar DEMO]

Here is another example of a game I played a bit while voting on it, but now no longer works. It gives the following message.

Error: Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded (see JavaScript console for details)
This is a known issue in Safari and Webkit browsers. Please report this issue to Apple.

Hope that you can fix this error soon.

Pommisc responds:

I'll take a look at it! Thanks for letting me know!

[Love Me Newgrounds!!!]

I played this when it first came out and I enjoyed it. I came back to check it out again, and now it will not load. I am unsure what happened. Once you correct this error, people will be able to enjoy this game much more.

ManlyPotato responds:

Unfortunately it seems that a recent chrome update (and any browser based on chrome like edge etc) has broken some versions of renpy web -> https://www.reddit.com/r/RenPy/comments/ttdw79/maximum_call_stack_size_exceeded/ . While there may be some issues in the codebase it's primarily caused by some regression on the backend rendering of renpy web. As an online engine it's not very stable which is my own fault, the engine is pretty much in perma-beta. There are download links on itch.io so those will always stay up and definitely work!

Please let me know if these work for you, other solutions are to download firefox or to weirdly open the dev menu with f12 and launch the game, it'll work then.

[Ordleway]

This game takes the word of the game concept and mixes it with Pig Latin. I have not used Pig Latin since I was in middle or elementary school. If you altered the graphics and added something new, it would improve. At the monument, it feels closer to a knock off of the original.

ElanMakesGames responds:

Thanks for checking out the game and leaving some feedback! I was definitely trying to keep it as close to the original as possible, but I still see where you're coming from.

[Sores And Sorcery]

The Pixel art graphics are on point, however there should be a way to zoom in. That would make everything easier to see. The controls worked well enough. The annoying Warlock keeps using his blue balls to murder me. It would be nice to see some powerups or upgrades to help you.

HelperWesley responds:

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how the art turned out.

A few people asked for the camera zoomed in. If I go back and update the game again, maybe I'll add a button on screen that zooms in the camera a bit. 👍

Probably not upgrades though, that might make the speed run mode at the end of the game a little too easy. 🤔
