jakenator85's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hello, darling]

Quite an interesting concept, story wise and game-play itself. It got a little hard after a while but clearly that's the point haha so good job with that! You managed to make a well done game that was challenging without it being really frustrating or even unplayable. One thing I wasn't sure of though was when I beat it and I reloaded it to play it again my character didn't do the trailing thing at all. Is that by design or is that a coding error? Either way this was still well done! Love to see more of maybe, something like choose your color, customize the character or maybe even level designs to put out into some kinda database so various other custom levels will overlap. Who knows! There's definitely possibility here and this did a good job.

It was a coding error, didn't find it while I did testing.
Thank you for review, nice to read such good words ;)

[Bleh.]

This really wasn't bad at all. It is very simplistic and even minimalistic but that was kind of part of the whole thing I feel. This kind of reminds me of that LSD simulator game, just more mellow. Even though it didn't seem to have any kind of instructions, it was straight forward enough that I had no problem picking up and getting through it. I just wish it was longer, or that there was something more to accomplish. This was definitely a great demo if there is more to come or if there is a complete version to come about. Keep it up dude.

thanks a bunch!

These graphics I gotta say are pretty revolutionary. Intuitive, different, definitely different so great job with that.

The controls are a little awkward at first but once you get used to them you're golden and it honestly doesn't take long to get used to them, you just die a few times and then you're good :D

The music isn't bad. It can get a little repetitive but it fits rather well I think.

I hope to see more of this, maybe there can be sequels; boss levels, enemies to fight, maybe even a leap to a console with this as I could totally see this being like a Steam game or an Xbox arcade download, you know what a mean.

There's a wide array of possibilities with this so great job.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm really happy that people are responding to the game! I do plan on working on the game further an expanding on it.

For all it is, it's pretty good.

The music is amazing honestly. The graphics, though simple, are a bit mesmerizing. The straightforward game play makes this game easy to pick right up. However, there isn't much incentive for me to sit down and play this for much longer than a few minutes since what you see is pretty much what you get. The difficulty increases as you play but maybe there could be power-ups or power-downs(?) like, things that make game play a little harder for a few seconds like the screen gets darker for a few seconds if you hit the black dot or your character acts drunkish if you hit the orange dot. Something like that. Maybe an upgrade store where you can spend points, or certain color dots you might be able to pick up?

You have a great concept here, and it is good enough on its own I think, but there is definitely a lot of possibility for expansion.

For any gamer reading this, you got nothing to worry about, this is a fun time.

[Simple Ragdoll Engine]

Alright...

.:ups:.
Somewhat fun

.:downs:.
No music
Not a lot of things
Could use more controls

.:comments:.
This isn't too bad for a ragdoll, there isn't much to ragdoll, so there isn't much to expect. This could use music, more things to hurt the ragdoll, and (optional) if you could also use the arrow keys to move him, then this would've gotten a higher score from me. Other than that, it's not the worst ragdoll ever, it's pretty fun and might even work for a preloader, I don't know, just a thought. So, 2/5, 5/10. Not too bad, yet not too great.

MachSchneller responds:

Thanks for an honest review.

[:: Circle ::]

Awesome!

.:ups:.
Good music
Well colored
Good concept
Addicting

.:downs:.
Confusing

.:comments:.
This is very well done! The music is awesome and the concept is good to! It's also very addicting implying that I could probably play this for hours on end. The only down-side is that the first level with the green power is confusing, I don't know what to do, and I am stuck so i don't even know how the game ends. :( But I still like it! 5/5, 9/10, keep up the good work!

StupidAnimator responds:

Thank you so much. Yes, the first green level is impossible, but I fixed it. Try it again, it should still save your progress!

[A tutorial]

Useful

.:Ups:.
Useful
Music

Nothing

This is useful. The last button tutorial i checked out was confusing and vague but this one is clear and i get it completley. Plus, it has music so it's not dull. Keep up the tutorials!

Thanks but people are either saying "its too hard" or "it's stupid".
