sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hare]

I died and had to sit through intro and even select adventure mode again.

The handling feels bad. No matter what as you coast down after dashing or w/e, you will never land on a platform.

The difficulty isn't balanced well.

Also, in game there is a lot of non-english stuff at the start when teaching you controls which... well now that I think of it, I was rating this 2.5, but I'm lowering it to 1.5 for that.

Zelun responds:

No prob! Thanks for the input. Gonna check those things about the localization files! Sorry :D

[GRAND ADVENTURE! (STORY COMPLETE)]

I'd like to point something out. On your first release of this you mentioned "It is unfinished. It's like 95% done but the last little bits never quite came together. Programmer after programmer dropped out before it could all be quite placed how I wanted."

I think it's unkind that you did not give credit to the other programmers who worked on this. That is very unprofessional.

Emptygoddess responds:

They were unprofessional for bailing!

That said... most of them i don't have contact info for. And none of them respond to me when I try, like honestly.

[Pitching]

I have to say it's a good concept and mostly executed well. But the spots you designed to be annoying were a little too annoying.

[Greenie]

The slow movement is very annoying.

[Overgrowth]

No.

You do NOT have the movement keys also be the aiming keys. Absolutely not.

You also do not do one shot permadeath. You do NOT do that.

[Deep Sleep]

perfecto

[Mission 13 - Lost in Space]

Uhm is there supposed to be movement in this game? WASD and arrow keys do nothing. All I'm able to do is aim and shoot with mouse.

[Attack Robots, Sydney Alpha Test 0.1]

Can you explain why you thought space would be a good key for shooting? Lol.

TIFkey responds:

I just feel so comfortable, I can not adapt to all, everyone has their own office. In the future there will be options. Where you can change controls.

[Aquacreep]

I liked absolutely nothing about this. Honestly... ugh. The only feedback that I could give you that would be helpful would be seen as offensive. So I won't.

TheMillz responds:

Not everything is for everyone I guess...

[Jetpic]

I found the one in the image linked to in the review before me pretty much impossible to get to even with all previous power ups. Of course I tried tapping. You never needed to mention that. It was obvious.

So I cheat engined my fuel to get it and beat the game.

You overtuned that part.

Do you know what that means?

That means you were the developer. Despite you probably being bad at games, you were overly good at that part because you tweaked and tweaked it and were the one who designed it and playtested and over playtested. In the end it resulted in something with too small a margin of error.

Does that make sense to you? Are you able to grasp that?

Also, add a metroidvania tag.

See Gdrocker's Review for the answer you seek : )
