Wolod's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fallgate]

I really liked the game. I've got to the level 13 and decided to return to the game later only to discover that it has no save feature o_O

mbforbes responds:

Yagh! Admittedly we don't have saving implemented yet 😬. We have it planned for the next release! Thank you for the kind words in the mean time!

I like this game. Especially the weird stuff, it made me laugh a lot.

However this game has a one big problem - complete and absolute randomness. Sometimes I had to strike ball 5 or 6 times before any weird stuff happened. Sometimes 2 same special events could happen in a row. Because of the randomness I thought that it's just a primitive reflex game and dropped out after few minutes of play. Yeah, no weird events happened and it ruined my first impression. I'm glad that I've read some comments and returned to this game.

I recommend to replace random number generator with a pseudo-random algorithm. Something like this: you generate a random number from 1 to 3. This number is quantity of simple innings. Let's imagine that we've got number 2. It means that after 2 generic innings one of the weird events (that would be chosen randomly) should happen. Also you can tweak this algorithm to make sure that no same special events will occur in a row.

Will responds:

That's a great idea. Thanks Wolod!

I like your art style. It's simple but looks nice. Mini-games are ok, but I expected more from platforming/exploration part of the game.

JauqGames responds:

I would've loved to expand upon the platforming/exploration part of the game, but alas the deadline for pixel day caught up to me.
Perhaps in a sequel not burdened by a due date. Hope you enjoyed your time in my game.

[MazeWard]

Nice puzzle game! Graphics are very stylish and I love the music and SFX. Seriously, sound effects have this Contra-vibe. That's amazing. It'd great if you increase player's movement speed a little bit. Also statues might stuck sometimes in the middle of the tile. Anyway I enjoyed MazeWard very much. Happy Pixel Day!

Fretzone responds:

Thanks :)

[Operation: Labrat]

And yet again another great exploration game from you! And yet it again it's mute...

wjhollyart responds:

Thanks for the great comments and ratings!

I think it's worth mentioning that I did create these games with Bitsy which does not support audio of any kind, but I understand that the lack of audio hurting the experience is still a valid criticism.

[Unsafe - chapter 2]

Not a bad game overall, but there are few things I want to mention.

Controls
Interaction button gets stuck regularly. It's really annoying. Also run button would be a nice addition.

Plot
Liked it first, but ending is really disappointing. The main problem is the character himself. At first I was sorry for the poor guy being bullied etc. But then... Do you expect me to have any sympathy to the teen brat who decided to commit suicide and took his father (and other innocent people from the oncoming traffic) with him to the grave?

arty-farty responds:

maybe that is why he ended where he did...

[Bloody Blazirus]

Pretty fun concept. Chicken riding? Yeah, I love this kind of stuff! More content, some polishing and you'll create something special. Don't abandon this game :)

HighOnToxins responds:

Thanks this means a lot to me.
Cuz this is my first ever game i've uploaded :)

[O]

Great story! I'll be waiting for the next chapters. Keep up the good work!

AlexeyNigin responds:

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it! I already started working on the Tpiru chapter, should release it in a few months.

[Cyborgs (Might) Save The Day]

The plot is funny, but gameplay is boring and graphics are tasteless. Not to mention other flaws. For example: you can fly off the screen, boss bullets blend with the background. This game needs much more work and polishing.

All these guys from credits write positive reviews about this game. Really? If you intend to rig your game's rating you should try harder.

RoboRick responds:

I'll do a patch fix to change the color of the bullets (that is a common complaint).

There was no intention of "rigging" anything. Keep in mind that I was the main person working on this game and the people in this credit were supplying assets and didn't really get to see it "come together" until yesterday.

[Trippy Nathan]

I can't choose an item, man. Fix it please. I want to know how the story ends :)

jazmik responds:

I appreciate your curiosity but there isn't anything after the item screen. I had to put something together for the presentation and decided this was more than enough.
