sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hall of James]

does it just go on and on the same?

not bad but kind of pointless without some form of progression.

JonathanGV responds:

We are still working on the game, this was just a small prototype, follow development or support at: https://www.jamesisbananas.com/

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.

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 =)

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

[Pad of Time]

cool this cuted me. i like the 90's aesthetic to the art

Markanime responds:

Im happy that the 90s aesthetic is looking fine for you

[Soulkoban]

cool and fun but you should probably put like metroidban or sokovania in the tags.

CarsonKompon responds:

Done! Good suggestion :)

[27 pages [DEMO]]

just bought on steam

jonaspatrik responds:

Thank you very much. If you find any bugs or something you think should be changed let me know. I just remade the game from scratch so there might be something that slipped my radar!

[Ghostly Melee]

attacking just.. doesn't make sense. it's like i swing.. behind my character.. i have no idea what the hitbox is or how attacking works.

also the audio is broken just like ur other game, magiblade or w/e.

re: dev

yep the audio was an issue on my end, i updated the rating. sorry

fancydoggames responds:

This is fair, Ghostly Melee needs to be updated.

[MagiBlade 1.5.2]

the audio isn't working

re: author

sorry the audio was indeed an issue on my end. i updated my rating

fancydoggames responds:

Audio should be enabled if you interact with the game inside the IFrame. If the audio continues to not function after clicking the start button, the problem likely stems from a browser issue on your end.

[Cross Strike]

straight bussin'.

put metroidvania or shmup in the tags though

Yword responds:

Thank you very much for playing! :)
