sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pulse Runner]

the lagginess and horrible handling really give this game a nice 2/5'ish feel to it.

Music didn't fit at all it was just weird.

My computer is solid too so it's not on my end.

[Gust]

The way the ball interacts with the cursor so spazzily really makes this unpleasant to play. It was a suggestion to people who liked Hook or klocki which were great. I'm not sure why this isn't really even remotely in the same class.

The graphics were bad. Curves looked very jagged and the art assets didn't mesh well at all. Music was weird and didn't fit.

[The Lair]

I don't like brawler style games. And I found the weapon swinging sluggish and frustrating.

That said, the visual aesthetic was excellent. I loved the flowing water around the moon's reflection and the flames that generate on the screen when you die.

Audio was sub-meh.

I have a good pc but the lag on this was very annoying. It mostly only occurs at the start/finish of levels and when you pick up powerups.

Still one of the best metroidvania flash games ever.

The-EXP responds:

Thanks :) Yeah this one is a bit laggy because I tried to do everything on a strict minute timer. I should have just let the lag slow things down instead of trying to be clever about it. Oh well, live and learn :) Thanks for playing :)

Why is this on the front page?

There's no music. Only jarring painful sound effects. The art could be made by directly editing a .gif file with a text editor.

The mechanics are uninteresting.

[K.O.L.M.]

This is one of the best web metroidvanias with the most awesome theme and atmosphere I've ever played.

2 was even better.

And it was a real shame that he didn't continue with his plans to make a fuller featured version for Steam.

[Horrortale Teaser]

I can't even play this it depresses me too much. That game was amazing. And I beat all endings and did everything in one night.
