sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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! ^^

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

[Windowz XP 2012 Professional]

assuming it's just a never ending loading screen. i gave it 15 sec + the time to write this review. if there's more after it, cool. but the joke wasn't funny.

re: dev, well if that's your excuse then i can hardly hold it against you. just know that even with a low iq, there are a lot of things you can still do! (just not game dev)

re: re: if the football helmet fits, bud.

Kolumbo responds:

extremely low iq

re: guy really pulled a no u lmao

[APOLLO]

need medal for finding hideout

Dazlog responds:

I'm looking into adding medals!

[Inn & Out]

best game i've played today.

re dev: it was the first game i'd played that day

Notakin responds:

then why rate 0 stars?

[Gem Frenzy]

the formula is great except.. why do we have to mine.. during the work day. why isn't it like.. serve customers in daylight, mine in the evening or something like that?

once you start falling behind, rent starts bumping up and ur screwed.

also the mining controls are weird.

theyippiesdev responds:

Thank you playing and taking time to give us feedback! we thought to innovate a little in the controls to make it challenging and yup the inflation of the rent is aggresive in these days 😅
