sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Devil's Gakuran]

Can you please move this into a different section? This is not a game. It's a visual novel.

[Scattered Time]

The movement feel really bad. The way the screen will zoom over a screen's worth sometimes to center on a new room will kill you often.

The main sprite's animation feels floaty and ungrounded.

And the respawn time is just a little too long.

Jasonario responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

[Return to Earth]

good metroidvania.

has some issues though. the shooting doesn't feel very tight or responsive. same for overall aerial movement.

screen transitions feel a little rough.

window size is way too small

some of the items/interactable elements are hard to distinguish due to art similarities with background environment.

i'd say the initial sense of player empowerment/progression needs to be reworked.

i still found the overall game/presentation to be good though. i had fun with it

RitchieRitual responds:

Thanks for the review, still looking to make big adjustments and improvements based on player feedback and it was very useful to me to hear your thoughts, thanks for playing and again, thanks for the feedback it is invaluable.

Why did you make the game window so small?

[Robot Wants Fishy]

One was original. Two was a big improvement. Four was obviously the best. Three was not quite on par. Annoying bosses (especially the angler) Sequences that had weird annoying difficulty and not really any interesting abilities. It's just: run in, do some damage, die, run back.

Overall still a great game. Leagues above most everything else on the web even today (sadly)

And Ice Cream is even better and I hope Justice is even better than that.

[Tequila Crew and the Wrath of the Satanist Nerds]

I'm on Chrome. When I hit space it scrolls down to the bottom of the page.

Common problem that most developers notice and fix before launching a game.

[Mafia Stories III]

Not sure why it's rated so low. The reviews are all strong and it was fun.

[PIPTO]

Linear puzzle game where no matter how far you get if you die you have to start over.

As well as a time constraint.

Big missteps.

The horrible sound effects and lack of music and bad graphics with conflicting art styles are very jarring as well.

[Quarrel Hill]

It's an original take on the incremental genre but needs more content.

Domo76 responds:

Good point! Hope to make a second game better. Thanks for rating and review!

[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.
