guthrie's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Octo-cannon]

Way too buggy to submit.

The starting positions and velocities of the mines are seemingly random. This makes it extremely likely that you'll hit one before you have time to react. I would add a check to see if the mines are too close to the player's location before they start moving, or pause at the start and let the player see the velocities before they become unpaused.

If you click outside of the window you can't regain control unless the page is reloaded. Definitely fix that.

DrewJayne responds:

yeah the window thing is a big issue and ill work an the mines but i have no idea how to fix the window thing

[Two Man Hockey]

Even on air hockey tables, there is a little bit of friction. You might think about adding a momentum term that decreases proportionally with velocity.

The puck can pass the halfway mark of the table. That's not allowed in traditional air hockey rules. So definitely include that.

Aside from those points (and they are big IMO), the feel of the game is really good.

Thanks for that. I do restrict the paddles from going past the 2/3rds mark when playing a multiplayer game. I'll keep your suggestions in mind.

[8bit Love Story]

Great story, fun gameplay, energetic music, and interesting medals. What else could you ask for?

Excellent!

[Brick 2]

I'm not proud of it, but I unlocked all of the upgrades. Some kind of endgame would be nice. Also, it seems like all of the high scores are stuck at 323.

[Turkey Roast]

I would never feed chicken to a turkey, that's just messed up.

[Pierret]

When will we, as a society, move past Flappy Bird?

MrUnecht responds:

Don't know, this was one of my first games I've ever made :S and yeah at the beginning you start remaking games :D But I understand your voting :D

[Quarrel Hill]

This is an interesting take on the tired Clicker genre. I liked the upgrade options, some more would be nice though.

The main thing I didn't like was the audio. The music being a three second loop is really annoying, and overall the sound effects were really off-putting. Try looking through the Audio Portal for some more fitting music that isn't so repetitive.

Domo76 responds:

Thanks for the review! Good idea about music, I will probably replace it.
