sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Forest Shack ( Prototype )]

just because you developed this on a 640x480 resolution monitor doesn't mean you need to make it everyone else's problem.

i agree the ratio _is_ retarded. also fuck off and die.

[Dubstep Raven]

well that was the shit

[Red Skull Reef]

lags when you have a ton of projectiles on screen

cursor hard to find amidst chaos

nice art. music loop is a bit short and repetitive. needs more sound effects.

shouldn't lose the tower you have selected when you upgrade it. should be able to spam click upgrade once you've conquered the difficult task of navigating your camouflaged cursor to a tower and back to the hammer.

[Ghost Hacker 2]

great audio and visual aesthetic. just didn't do it for me overall though.

something about the progression of tower power didn't feel good enough.

[Squid Game]

kind of annoying how luck based it is. but it was an annoying game in the show for the same reason.

[Teleport Tower]

without any way to see where your portal is going to appear before you release the mouse, this is a very frustrating game and an extremely bad implementation of your core idea.

re author/artist who responded: git gud at game dev. because you aren't. and i didn't say it was too hard. i said it was badly designed and frustrating. difficulty is something else entirely. it's something a good game dev (which you aren't) would understand.

lmao. rekt.

git gud

I fail to see how you've innovated on the game you took this idea directly from.

The game you took the idea from is called Hook, which is available on Google's Play Store.

You did not innovate on it in any way. In fact Hook has significantly more polish and a much better aesthetic.

I will cede you two stars because your game only has minimal bugs. It does have bugs, which have been pointed out by other reviews. I do NOT need to repeat what they said because I assume you will read their feedback and then immediately work on fixing said bugs.

[Estresamente]

great job. some of the animations need work. (the animation of the main character running around is pretty weak)

but the art is great and the music is fantastic.

i've submitted a report to tom fulp to investigate and potentially ban users who voted this game below a 3, which indicates bad faith and malicious voting behavior.

[panic]

no real visual or audio feedback caused by successfully "intercepting" the cups or whatever which makes this unsatisfying and initially confusing to play.

[Madville]

You blocked this from working externally... so now it won't be preserved by NG's external player?

That is absolute greed and disgustingness.

re: author:

The error literally says:

"UNAUTHORIZED GAME! tHIS SITE BLOCKED OUTGOING LINKS IN THIS GAME... ETC. and then tells you to visit gamedistribution.com"

So yes. You blocked this from working externally. And you did so by allowing this site locking to be part of your game's engine.

Even if that wasn't your explicit intent, you still did it.

Hello, dev here. This is ridiculous and false. I wrote an answer to this absurd claim, you can read it in the description now.

edit: You didn't even read or understand what I wrote, did you? Do you send this kind of messages to website owners when google shows you a message when you have no connection, too?

Also here is Tom Fulp's message about this, owner of Newgrounds, confirming what I wrote above:
