sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bad Monday Simulator]

awesome music but way too hard.

undertale was at least playable and beatable. this is a bit ridiculous.

[Not Involved]

i don't like visual novels at all.

but as far as they go, this seems very very good.

what lovely art and fitting atmospheric music.

wish i liked visual novels so i could enjoy it more.

[Sporelunk]

the "penis" character is unfunny. i really dislike that crass type of humor.

also, why on earth wouldn't you have some kind of upgrades shop or something for persistent progress?

this game isn't exactly fun to play, so what's to motivate someone to play again?

[E.T.P]

excellente

[Temple of Kashteki]

great platformer. great advertisement for godot imo. i've been looking at pygame and godot lately and this nudged me a little more into the godot camp.

was hoping when i beat that boss sequence it would transition to another different-looking tileset for "world" or "level" 2 or whatever.

either way, fantastic af.

[Hanukkah Runner]

i like the art/colors.

the gameplay is way too slow paced.

not sure what the point of all the jew stuff was though. what was the reason for infusing that theme into a fairly standard runner?

re: author response

Thanks for the context. Added a star

KJScott responds:

Well, it was released in December when there is a lot of christ stuff being posted, so I wanted to develop a game for a young Jewish child (aged around 3 at the time) so that they had something they could play related to their culture rather than just christ stuff. So yes, it was a simple game because of its intended audience, one very young Jewish child. I uploaded it because I thought there might be other people out there within the Jewish culture who might also want access to it instead of a constant supply of christ stuff games.

[Defend 'Till the End]

will people please stop using this engine?

the fact that it brings up a menu unrelated to the game when you hit enter is so confusing and unintuitive for so many people.

this game needs upgrades pretty badly. that said. i quite like the music/sound/art.

KJScott responds:

Until something better comes along which does what Pico-8 but better you'll keep seeing many games developed using it, when that happens people will stop using it.

[Death Count]

nice overall but the platforming lacks a lot of polish.

[Dirk Valentine]

quite good. but call me petty or whatever, but i have to remove a star for the willhelm scream.

it's never been funny. it hasn't ever been funny for the many decades filmmakers have been putting it in their movies because they think it's clever.

[Keep It Alive]

the RIP music is a ripoff from FF7's end of battle theme.
