guthrie's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Impossible Ragdoll Climb]

Holy fuck this is infuriating. Good job.

One thing that is upsetting me that you might not have intended. Sometimes when I click and release my guy doesn't jump but I still need to wait for the cooldown. Maybe set a tiny minimum threshold for jumping before it actually registers a movement?

DroneInDanger responds:

I did get that issue while testing, thanks for the idea on how to fix it

[Clocksmith Exorcist]

Fun game, great art and direction. But the main mechanics, the sword swinging direction, needs major work. It's really unintuitive and clunky at the moment. Hope you can put a bit more into it because this game has a ton of potential.

[Stinky Toilet]

Unless I'm missing something, this is just flappy bird with an asset swap. No real expansion on the idea other than the inclusion of medals (and who the hell is waiting around to reach 200 points in this kind of game?). Sorry, this just isn't interesting at all.

noxdecious responds:

It's ok.
I think someone might reach 200 points someday though

EDIT: Theres also pellets that give you more points, so you could use that to your advantage to reach 200 (or even 1000 potentially) points

[firey's candy bar adventure]

fuck bfdi

all my homies hate bfdi

[Trial by Liar]

This is good, I guess. The art is really interesting and the AI character seems to be moving in a fun direction. But some of these levels are insanely difficult, and really not in a fun way. A few more checkpoints and I think a setting related to left/right acceleration might help. But if frustratingly difficult is what you're going for you definitely achieved that.

[WIZO]

Super simple avoid game. Nothing special but it's fun for a bit.

5 and 10 point medals were broken. But now they're fixed.

anomewastaken responds:

Thanks for letting me know, it is now fixed

[Capsule Collector]

This was delightfully strange and I love it. The controls don't quite make sense to me but that might be partially intended?

[Bricklayer for Newgrounds v1.5]

This game is addicting, even if Tetris has advanced a lot in 30 years! I'm sorely missing things like hard drops, holds, ghost pieces, and not having to press left or right every time I want to move a space.

I can't find any flaws in your recreation, but this is really not a great version of Tetris! However, those medals do have me coming back again and again. The Newgrounds API screen pops up every time I restart the game, which is pretty annoying. If you can fix that I would happily give a full 5 stars.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play a more modern version of this game!

Ant responds:

Thanks for the review! Although I’m really not too impressed with this it’s alright. I’d like to redo this later on in the future as there are a lot of things I’d like to fix and improve upon to make it more accurate to the original.

[Thomas & Friends: Build an Engine]

Don't submit stuff you didn't create to the portal. If you really need to host a swf you can use the dumping grounds.

[Magic Monk]

This is a pretty cool old-school style platformer. The sprites are well made and the art style makes me remember the times when we would play SNES in my friend's basement 25 years ago.

You can cheese most of the monsters, and the platforming isn't particularly streamlined, but overall this is a great proof of concept and I'm excited to see where you go next with this.

Nice job!
