sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Drakenslash]

Are you the original author of parameters 1/2? Either way, this is a nice evolution of those fun games.

re: author response

that is a disgustingly obvious lie.

to anyone reading this, visit this asap. the author is claiming he was unaware of this game and its sequel. at first i thought it might be the same guy or just a fan of the originals. but he's an outright liar. disgusting. i'll be reporting this to NG now. his response and shameless lie are going to cost him his submission.

antebios responds:

No, what is parameters 1/2 ? can you provide me an url ? I am curious.

sorry, wasn't know the title was parameters.
yes, this game come from there.

[Match 3 3xb]

uhm. why do you have a banner ad at the start with a play button?

Artur-Felipe responds:

It was an artificial intelligence bug. But why did you give zero star? for such a simple thing.
Thank you

[Scrap Arms Demo [OLD 2019]]

"this is a demo in which the content serves as a prologue for the final game"

"this demo is a prologue for the final game"

see the difference there?

re re: I'm still playing the game. I only set a placeholder score of 3 stars until I finish playing and then I'll give more detailed feedback. I'm fairly certain the score will be higher.

BigBossErndog responds:

Thanks, I'll change that soon. Umm, is that all? Or would you like to add more to the review? I'd really like feedback on the game itself...

[Cake Cat]

17 score

platformalist responds:

That's pretty solid! Thanks for playing, sharpnova! :)

[Small Adventure Game]

bad graphics.

terrible music.

tedious slow mechanics.

and no i don't have anything uploaded on NG since your response to people criticizing this game is to tell them they haven't made any games. what does that have to do with it? judging games and making games are two entirely different skills.

Fro responds:

I agree, I didnt have anything to do with this game. Fallen was a shitty flash creator and a shittier person.

[WIP]

Cute

ROCoGames responds:

Thank you :)

[Heaven]

in the 3x3 grid of rooms you can't get the top middle heart or the top right heart.

Mantis1 responds:

It was intentional, I'm sorry that wasn't clear :)

[Seven Days in Purgatory]

I enjoyed sending millennials to hell.

Disliked not being able to upgrade or at least cosmeticify anything with my money.

Also I wasn't a huge fan of how you'd introduce new rules but not say if they took precedence over other rules. Papers Please never made this mistake.

kypello responds:

There was supposed to be an item shop for buying random decorative items for your desk. I only had 2 weeks to make the game and ran out of time, so that had to be cut unfortunately, so money is pointless.

Rules don't "take precedence" over each other. Let them in only if EVERYTHING is good.

Thanks for playing my game!

[Inherit]

hate the interface quite a bit. constantly having to right click when i shouldn't. if an arrow for navigation is right there on the screen. it should work regardless of what "tool" i have selected"

honestly the hand and the move tool could be merged and there are ZERO instances in the game where that would break anything.

and you don't need an eye tool either. you need to rethink your UI completely here. it becomes incredibly tedious and annoying.

i really liked the art style. but there needed to be more ambient noise than just a howling wind.

response to author:

i don't care that you can use WASD also. that is STILL tedious. the point is you shouldn't need to cycle through these things. they should be context sensitive. how did you miss my point entirely?

Nirag responds:

Thank you for the feedback!
The right-clicking is just a secondary method of cycling through interactions. The main method is by using the keyboard shortcuts A+S+D, as explained at the beginning.

response:
I got your point quite clearly. I was just answering to the first point of your feedback, the one regarding the right-clicking. Regarding the other points, I understood what you said, and I thanked you about the feedback. I'll keep that into consideration for my next game!

[Delver]

incoherent design.

fuel flies down rapidly even with all but last upgrade in it. don't know what the last upgrade does for it. i just know that i was so disappointed in how NOT empowering the fuel upgrades were that i lost any incentive to play.

but i will go play motherload. cuz this reminded me of the genre. and motherload actually knew how to do it properly.

Template88 responds:

Contrary to what you may think, the fuel upgrades are balanced out to match the depth of the game. You'll find it difficult/impossible to beat the game without upgrading. The fuel levels are pretty significantly spaced, so if you didnt feel a difference, perhaps it was because you were running out of money staying up near the surface? I think you prefer a slower paced version of digging game to this, the fuel runs out faster in this game because the game is much shorter than motherload 8V.
