sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Grayscale]

I don't like having to click twice to get to the next level and that the continue button is down in a corner while promotion links are dead center.

Another big flaw is that the name of the game is grayscale and that is a reference to nothing but the color scheme of the game. It in no way influences the game's mechanics. The name should have been to do with the actual mechanics at play.

Finally, I don't like games where there is a level selection screen and a clear boundary between levels with a score screen or something. It just makes games feel incredibly cheap. Much better to just transition smoothly from level to level without any reference to a level "number."

Lot of potential but some serious flaws.

Komix responds:

but you can replay levels!

[Intel Was Wrong]

holy crap the music is way too loud compared to the sound effects.

Wolod responds:

You can always mute the game. It's impossible to please everyone, you know. But if I'll be working on an update, I'll make the music a little bit quite.

[Unfographics]

No clue what I'm supposed to do on the second level. I swapped the two percentages and tried dropping the iceberg on everything or even holding it over stuff.. like over the factory to make it melt. I guess I'm missing something, but I'm pretty good at puzzle games.. so I'd say it needs to be more obvious.

FernandoBarba responds:

This is weird, half of the people complaing that it is too easy, the other half too hard XD

You have to drop the iceberg in the ecuator, on left side :D

[THERE IS NO GAME]

extremely buggy. first playthrough after he destroyed the ball, i clicked the other one and placed it on the field and it just started bouncing left and right. never reaching my paddle

second time through when i beat the breakout thing i clicked the trophy and it went somewhere. blew up or w/e i don't remember. but then when i needed to bring water to the tree.. i assume i needed to use that trophy but i didn't have it anymore.

not going to play a 3rd time just to run into another bug.

edit: played through it again and it ran perfectly. score updated

Kamizoto responds:

Thank you for your feedback.
I've fixed the issues you have discovered for the future non players.
Sorry about that!

[Attack of Crazy Folks]

5% upgrade...?

i don't think you understand the point of upgrade-based games - it's the fun of progressing. getting stronger/richer/etc.

5% is nothing.

also the shooting and explosion noises are WAY too loud.. and not pleasant sounds either.

Cutepop responds:

Thank you for your feedback. We will definitely review the upgrade system and audio in our future project.

[Decepticide]

bugs. once i took an elevator up and was jumping up into the next screen while it went up and suddenly the view shifted to another room that didn't even have an elevator in it. i couldn't see myself. i could still use health packs and shoot but i couldn't see myself. i then hit r, and it reset the entire game

second time i just froze while a blue door was sliding down.

also i don't like the handling of the character

Joben7 responds:

I'm sorry about the bugs but I'm thankful that you took the time to review and let me know of them so I can try and fix them, thanks
