sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vine Game]

the neon colors are really cool

[Bug Ball 3D]

uh.. why does jumping right before a drop never work?

re: dev: i heard there was this thing where people get defensive against criticism and lash out.

THERE IS COYOTE TIME YOU ARE JUST BAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GOOB]

so short, but very polished and well designed. each level had a new idea/mechanic. that's what makes a game good.

[Kill Laanie Race or Die Super Laanie Update]

really cool aesthetic (other than the muffled wanna-be-NES voices which are just jarring, hard to hear, volume-wise, and annoying)

but it's simply way way too hard to drive. handling is terrible.

you need to playtest with varying friction, acceleration, and turn sensitivity until you find a sweet spot where handling feels great. a good sign is that it almost feels "OP" to the player.

re dev: ahh I didn't know it was based on the unstable theme. that makes perfect sense then. i raised my score

GNOSTU responds:

Hi miss sharpnova, thank you for the review it is most appreciated. We are sorry about the muffled cheap and retro audio that is probably hurting your ears. Our equipment is limited in the studio and our sound guy works 6 days a week as a English teacher and all we had was a cheap pair of FIVE|FIVE headphones with a mic that has unbelievable white noise. It was either that or use a distortion filter. As for the handling, this was a game jam entry and the theme was unstable so we just couldn't resist making people frustrated with that sorry. Thank you for the review again you are awesome and we will take what you have said into consideration.

[Keep It In! 3]

very original idea

Thanks! ^^

[Blue Vortex]

did a few tries and all of a sudden i was in the zone and did 2:21. sick game.

[Upbound]

the feeling of being raised by a balloon is terrible. the horizontal mobility reduction is infuriating. games are supposed to be about player empowerment.

yahhcheee responds:

hii sharpnova - i'm really sorry you felt that way! we had a friend who expressed similar frustrations when he playtested our game, and we tried our best to make it more fun!

we're working on our second game which won't have any horizontal mobility reduction! i hope you will enjoy it better

[TIREHEAD]

short but cool

[Heroes of Pico's School]

the way i destroyed every lvl.

great game

[Origin]

great puzzle platformer
