sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Magical Curse 2]

visual novel. i'm sure it was a lot of work, but just not for me. it should really specify that in the tags, i always look for that tag on rpgmaker looking games.

I always wonder who thought, when they made the pico-8 engine, that 'enter' should bring up a menu that has nothing to do with the game, but the engine itself.

Anyway, this game in particular has a nice aesthetic and handles well. Not my type of genre but it was nice.

[Gappy's Adventure : Coinkeeper's Cantrip (DEMO)]

accidentally started the tutorial because you made the "yes/no" stuff all but invisible.

canceled it.. lost a life for that (what)

started a regular level. two separate music tracks were playing at the same time.

hi sharpnova

[Deadmare]

i like the mechanics (not new but still fun)

but i don't like how randomly you'll touch a spike and respawn at a tombstone rather than turning into a ghost.

it's unclear why/when that happens and that confuses and stresses me.

ChalTheChalk responds:

There's a respawn counter on the top left conner of your screen, once it's at zero you can't respawn anymore. I'm quite sorry if it's confusing for you!

[Rat Wrap]

awesome. 9 coins no skips.

[Paperbound]

great idea for a game. the interface is a little clunky though. there needs to be less friction between player and actions so all the cognitive load can be on the pure puzzle solving. still can't justify less than a 5 though. good job!

[Rumbleweed]

cute concept. but i'm far too powerful to be held back by such things

[Chess Force]

as someone who plays a lot of online chess, i liked the themes here.

but the super slow long tedious levels to get to the boss with literally no benefit/upgrades/currency associated with "elo" or anything other than killing the bosses made it a boring grind.

i also liked the art.

BoMToons responds:

ELO is spent on promoting your pawns.

[MMO Healing Simulator]

worked my way through the first fight. was awarded gear that wasn't an upgrade.

is this.. player progression?

mksfbirdup responds:

Sorry, but that's the intended joke. The game is heavily based on my experiences raiding in WOW WOTLK, and there you can attend multiple hour long raids without relevant drops.

You'll never get better gear, there's no actual progression. It's balanced so your party is strong enough to clear all the bosses from the get-go.

[SymmetryCats DEMO]

in the intro/tutorial'ish thing it started playing the bell noise over and over again.

don't do that again.
