sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Downhill to Infinity]

why have rails if you can't even land on them? and yes i tried landing on them with x pressed and with x not pressed.

you just pass right through them.

so why have them?

re author: ahh i see. yeah i don't read tutorials. if a game can't organically train the player, then more dev time should have been devoted to player training.

but i tried it out given what you said and it felt a lot better so i updated the rating.

but just a tip for the future: people generally hate tutorials.

props to you for not having a FORCED tutorial though. that's even worse than failing to adequately train the player.

cheesycoke responds:

You should be able to grind on rails by holding S on keyboard, or Y (or whatever the top button is) on gamepad! This is mentioned on the "How To" screen.
Unless you're using a Switch Pro Controller? In that case the grind button would be X, but sorry I haven't tested this game with that one so if it ain't working it may be a quirk in the engine.

no idea what i'm doing.

[International PixelArt Gallery 2022]

i like the idea but the very first image i landed on wasn't very good and that's a pretty big deal for the overall presentation.

JamesChapp responds:

You should not judge based on first impressions. There are 72 artists and more than 210 drawings... 1 is less than 0.5% of the gallery... look at a couple more drawings... follow your favorite artists on Instagram... and as you follow artists you like and see their art... endorphins will flow through your body and you will be happier =)

it's ok but why would i want to grind out the same stuff so many times for medals and unlocks..?

Is there a way to heal?

hairyballbastic responds:

There are deposits of ore which you can mine in order to restore HP in level 2 and beyond

[The Present]

nice. an improvement would be to have the resolution be sharp and get more pixelated as the game goes on

[Super Idle Imagination]

i think this game clearly implies i will inherit one billion dollars within the next few years

getting an award freezing progress of the game means this isn't really an idle game though

[Coca VS Peter the Ant]

i are dieded.

[Peter: Aner]

great atmosphere

[Vermin God]

visual novels are not games.

i'm not saying they're not art and don't deserve recognition. but my rating is based on rating this as a game, which it is not.
