BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Deaht Scrolls]

A solid demo with a pretty clever death-based gimmick.

Icelogist responds:

Thanks

[I Want to Remember You]

Short, sweet and adorable.

[Carly's Coast]

The visuals were pretty nice, and the music was a good, if basic loop, but the movement felt stiff all around and it felt just a bit too short for me.

[The Legend of Mora]

Its altogether a bit too basic, and the lack of keyboard controls really drag this down for me, but the artstyle's pretty nice.

[The New Internet]

I gotta say, this absolutely feels rushed. Its a barebones idea, which IMO doesn't have anything interesting going for it.

The BGM's pretty good, though - it'd definitely work for a Silent Hill type horror game.

TheAuspiciousCygnus responds:

That's more than fair. I'm still learning and I'm glad you liked the song. I'll use it in something decent in the future and thank you for the feed back.

[Solo Pong]

A clever twist on an age-old concept.

[Wacky Emvi Simulator]

You're gonna do well here - this is a fucking blast to play.

[Cubsey The Platformer]

The artstyle was perfectly fine, and the music was pretty good, but I felt the gameplay was pretty deeply flawed.

The biggest thing I'd recommend is to avoid jerking the camera upwards during jumps - it feels disorienting and makes precision platforming a lot harder than it needs to be.

I did also notice a pretty major delay between jumping/running into spikes and the relevant sound effect playing. I didn't quite notice it at first, but when I did, it became pretty grating.

Still, you've clearly got potential. Keep at it. (Happy Pixel Day as well, BTW.)

Potato-Boy-34 responds:

I immediately started fixing it when I saw it on Reddit. The camera is fixed, and I even changed some stuff in the game. It's my first time making a platformer game.

[Puzlogic Slide]

A pretty clever idea for a sudoku-style puzzle game.

[ABYZ]

There's a pretty good atmosphere here and a solid idea, but the controls really drag this down.

Using the arrow keys to attack is pretty confusing.

EDIT: Using Z,X and C to attack, and the arrow keys to move, would be better for me,though I'd also recommend adding the ability to rebind keys.

finne432 responds:

Good point, which keys do you think would be best as another control option?

edit: I won't be able to have remappable controls in the program I'm using, but I can definitely include an alternate opion for Z, X, and C + arrow controls.
