sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Every day the same dream]

i like the style. but the mechanics and progression just aren't cute enough for me :(

narratively tremulous though and auspiciously atavistic (not to mention quixotic in the perniciously facile conceptualization of the word)

[I wish I were the Moon]

lovely and creative. and observed by me now.

[Apples in the Tree]

great. didn't see this till now. so now this entry is activated.

[How to Raise a Dragon]

dono how this slipped by me. given how many games i've played and how good at playing and reviewing games i am, i'd say this game practically did not exist until just now, when ii played it.

very solid artistic game. thumbs up

[HYPER JUMP]

i beat it fairly quickly

[ImmorTall]

i burst into tears 56 times in 7 states

[Clockwork Garden]

annoyed i never heard about this or came across it.

perfect atmosphere and art. beautifully done.

[The Saloon]

randomizing the weapon on roll is stupid.

fun game though.

but i have to take off an additional star because you didn't put crimsonland as a tag. that was the obvious inspiration here and giving credit is important in creative fields.

edit: just revisiting this review to knock off another star for the asinine UI when you pick up a weapon. it makes no sense... what am i replacing? clearly not the weapons i currently hold because i replaced my knife and still drew a knife in the stupidly roll lottery. and there are like four boxes to select from for what to replace... huh? i only have two weapons... am i picking WHAT weapon to get? makes no sense. that was already determined and identified by the graphic of the item i stepped on. just very poorly done. -1.5 stars for that.

update: minus an additional star for devs doubling down and pretending crimsonland wasn't the inspiration for their game.

ConnorGrail responds:

Never heard of crimsonland, and the random weapon switching is kinda the whole point tho, sorry u dont like ;/

[Meteor Launch]

birds and reds are too hard to dodge. wish there was an upgrade that dealt with them
