sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Traffic Collision 2]

Too hard to avoid other cars. As you said, perfectly possible.

But too hard to provide that sense of player empowerment early on that will keep someone playing.

[Rearmed Trials]

Excellent. Wish it had a story mode though.

D-SuN responds:

Thankyou for the high rating! You can find Story Mode in the Steam version :p

[Mr Coo Interactive Teaser]

You are a very good animator. And a good artist as well.

Great classic score as well.

I don't have a clue what the product this is a teaser for will be like. But I look forward to it.

[Hero Agency]

Liked it overall. Just going to list my complaints/suggestions:

Needs some quality of life improvements like mass potion purchasing.

Screen spazzes out too much when you have a bunch of heroes doing stuff. Too much shaking, flashing, and noise.

It's weird how if you're at the contract page, you click a button called "contract" to go to training. Why have the button to jump over also serve as the title for the current page? Very unintuitive.

Too short. Throw in a prestige system and a little more content. I liked it a lot and it was over too quickly.

I don't see what the difference in classes is.

It's weird that new applicants default to the training page when you select them. And then you have to jump over to the contract page to review and accept.

Btw, the high score system is a bit weird. I got all-time first by playing it *that* way, but it was odd.

[Wickebine Kigyouden]

The platforming and combat and stuff was awesome.

That stupid ragnarok online'ish interface? Ugly, cumbersome, and extremely offputting.

[Flatwoods]

why wouldn't you support dualshock controllers? playstation is a more rational console to own than xbox if you consider the lineup.

Gerkinman responds:

They should work of you use a 360 controller wrapper. The controller support is built into the engine and not something I can personally modify.

[Sanguine 2]

The art and audio are great.

The handling is really bad. The slippery slidy stuff makes it very unenjoyable to move around.

[Sacred Treasure]

I didn't mind Dark Soul's difficulty. What I didn't like was how it got harder every time you died. That was a terrible mechanic and people only forgave it because it would make them seem less "hardcore" and "skilled" to whine about something difficulty-related. It was an emporer's new clothes situation.

This game has that same mechanic which in my opinion is a big mistake.

[ReJect]

The first level after getting the shotgun is too hard.

Overall the game is great though.

[When Goats Join Cults Demo]

jsleon519 messaged me privately and told me he was lying about guessing the handshake. Weird thing to lie about.

Anyway, weird but interesting game. I'll keep an eye on the KS.
