sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Last Guardian]

sandman366's review was great and sums up all the strengths and weaknesses nicely.

just to reiterate some of the most apparent issues:
-gravity is indeed way too strong. made aiming quite annoying.
-i found that hit boxes didn't make sense. in the early levels, the short green guys would have arrows pass right through them and act as if they weren't even hit.
-having no target/outlined path (like in angry birds) or at least the option of one via upgrades was a bit annoying, but this was mainly due to how absurdly strong gravity was.
-having challenges, objectives, AND achievements was a bit ridiculous. those all sound like the same or close to the same thing.
-also i'm not a huge fan of the "go to our sponsor to play a more feature unlocked version of the game" this is nonsense. if you don't feel comfortable showcasing your work, then you probably shouldn't upload it at all.

i did like the music and sound effects and felt that the game was polished enough and mostly bug free. it was the design that bothered me.

[Monsters' Den Chronicles]

beautifully, thoughtfully crafted. so much depth for a flash game. this is at the top of its genre.

[Micro Thief]

not bad. should have had a chiptunesey soundtrack though. and maybe slightly better sound effects.

got it in about 90 seconds or something on my first try. pretty easy.

[Relive Your Life]

pretty cool. i don't like the sequences where i have to mash the x key though. it's annoying.

FrozenFire responds:

Yeah that's probably the weakest link as far as games go.

[Need To Feed]

it keeps flashing the tutorial window thingy that explains the concept. randomly. why would you do that if you've already trained the player?

i don't like how it instantly ends the level after the winning cut. let us watch the last food fall in.

end of discussion. this submission fails completely on its own merit.

[Reincarnation: BB]

terrible. compared to your other submissions. absolutely terrible.

ring the bell.. to knock the guy in the water..???

this and a few others were not obvious in the least.

this game degraded (another word for turned to shit) into a pseudo-random clickfest.

what were you thinking..? pathetic attempt at capitalizing on a meager fan base which you have now effectively destroyed?

for shame.

[Offspring Fling! [DEMO]]

At first the low rating made no sense.. The game seemed great almost perfect.

I then got used to dying due to the horrible controls.

It had enough redeeming qualities that I made it through and beat the last level.

Xerus responds:

Thanks for the feedback but I'm not really sure what you mean by dying from horrible controls! :O

[Feed Us 3]

i bought 3 pirahnas and it went to the animation and stayed there. wasn't able to get out of it. game destroyed.

[Inspiration Dave]

underrated joy.

Seagaia responds:

Thanks for the kind words.

[Final Ninja Zero]

overall pretty good but i really hated the wall jump mechanic.

not sure why you didn't allow us to to jump off a wall with the up/w arrow. it felt unintuitive and sloppy.
