sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[OVERCURSED]

I kind of liked it but I simply could not handle the movement controls. Way too annoying to have to click to move. Sorry. Incredibly annoying and made the game feel wonky to control.

[Tattle & Tale]

Won't load after intro. stays at "LOADING" screen. Eventually it'll proceed past it to the playing field or w/e, but that area is just a static frozen image.

Chrome so it's your issue not mine.

Also the game window being so small was probably a troll but I didn't find it funny at all.

[Autonomy]

when i played this i got pretty far on my first try but when i died it made me very mad an sad that awakened something in me.

it caused me to play again really intensely and this time everything felt like it was moving in slow mo and i transcended my previous score incredibly. i really feel like my senses and speed were heightened beyond anything i've ever experienced.

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

[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

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.

[Mafia Stories III]

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