DoctorStrongbad's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Anonimus!]

Adventure demo. The stick figure main character should be fleshed out. The graphics need to be more professional. The controls stick on the menu seems odd. Movement should be performed by using the arrow keys. The entire demo is in Russian. You need to have an English translation.

ConUnUN responds:

Bro, this game is a joke, it's supposed to be like that

[The Leaderboard Experiment]

This is just a basic clicker flash. The background needs more than just a blank white wall. The gimmick here is that it's a Leaderboard Experient, which is okay. However, you should really change the requirement to earn the medal. Currently, you are just encouraging players to auto click to ridiculous numbers like 686,853. The medal should be something fair like 100 clicks, so every player can earn it.

WaspVentMan responds:

That is a fair criticism, I made this in like 3 hours, because it really was just an experiment, I wanted to see how far people would go to get to the top of a leaderboard (and a medal).

I am planning on adding extra medals for daily/weekly/monthly/yearly top of the leaderboard, as well as a few visual changes, such as customisable buttons and backgrounds, however, it’s not my fault that someone decided to click a stupid number of times, blame them, not me.

[Ryno Rush]

Run and gun flash. The graphics are nice, and the hero reminds me of Rhino from Spider-man comics and movies. The starting enemies should be weaker, or your gun should be stronger. Adding more upgrades or power ups would be a great idea. You should also add ways to get your health back.

Bobandy11 responds:

Thanks!
I had thought about adding more weapons or pickups, but i decided to keep it simple in the end.
And there are actually ways to regain health, they're mostly hidden in secrets but there are a few health pickups in open locations on the second and third level.

[Heart Locked]

Shooting game wear you use your body parts as weapons. It only took a few tries to master the controls. Combat reminds me of a pool game with the aiming and bounce back. The right click to reform yourself, did not work well for me.

You should add upgrades and a way to regain health.

ScolonDev responds:

Thanks for the feedback :)

[Bread Shiba]

It is a game all about spawning dogs that look like bread. You should add content or objectives that can be accomplice with the dogs.

PotatoYi responds:

it's just actual bread haha(i guess i didn't model it too well but eh its fine). it's just a silly physics sandbox place (hence the 'spam genre')

though if i ever plan to expand on this as a proper 3D platformer or somethin', it's probably not any time soon.

[Circumsize King Neptune]

This is a joke spam game. You press one button and that is it. There should be more things to do.

MrAppleCore responds:

Im currently in the process of making Circumcise King Neptune 2, And i can assure that you'll have more than one button to click!

[Soda Quest (Demo)]

RPG demo. Graphics are basic, but they work. The soda ability should not need soda to work. Magic should just use MP not items to work. You should add a bed to the first house. That way you can restore your HP for free. You should add a NPC helper to join you in the meadow.

Mel responds:

i will add all of this today and report back to you, you are completely right that soda system is a momentum killer. i gotchu! thank you!

[Banea A Zero10Y7 REMIX V7.1]

Avoider flash. The main character needs color, and so does the bare backgrounds. Jumping over the ban hammers is too challenging due to the character's large sprite. The text in the game is not English. You should offer an English translation.

GatocDev responds:

I didnt create the character
This is a fangame
And the game was supossed to be for spanish audience but i will fix that

[Miniwar (Demo) 2 update]

Action demo. Graphics are okay, but the main character needs color. If you made the " super jump " pressing up twice, that would work out better. If you added more weapons and attacks, this demo could be better.

Spar60Half responds:

Demo 3 is on the way, which brings several new features and I promise that it will be better than demo 2.

[PolyBlast V1]

Graphics have that Satr Fox look from way back on the SNES. You should add a tutorial to explain how to shoot and fully explain the plot.

Doglover2012 responds:

I was about to add a tutorial on the description but I found out that New grounds doesn't have descriptions...
