TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moto Drive 2]

You need a restart level option. Mostly because of the bizarre glitch where you fall in a hole but don't fall off your bike, and then the screen fades but then fades back in and you're stuck in the hole, unable to fall off your bike.

0 out of 4 epics dug behind? What does that mean? Obviously I didn't find them, but how do I find them?

[How To Cook Everything]

I put two pairs of glasses in the tray and on the next screen it showed up as two clocks.

MikeSalyh responds:

Hi TharosTheDragon! I've seen a couple reports of this bug. I'm going to investigate it tonight and see if I can fix it.

Update: I've patched that bug and a few others. Cheers!

[Pixel Box Worlds]

Okay, a few things that could make this editor better.
-Click+drag functionality for when you want a lot of the same tile.
-Needs to be an indicator at the bottom of what tile you've selected, like a bright shiny box around your selection.
-Hotkeys, like for changing between bright and dark.
-You have way too many tiles because you've tried to account for every combination of foreground/background tile. You should just be able to select a torch, for example, and put it anywhere and have it automatically show up in front of whatever background tile is already there. Distinguish between foreground and background tiles. Have two different delete tools: one for fg, one for bg.
-There needs to be a way to convert your level to text, so that it could actually be taken and used in a game. This clearly has the potential to be a game level editor.

[Green Pea Guy]

At the end of the first red and black level, it drowns in lag during the last jump and then when you try moving off the right edge of the level to beat it, you die.

[Sneaky Castle Treasure]

Roman numeral 8 is VIII not IIX.

You wouldn't say 7547 billion. You'd just say 7 trillion. Thousand billion sounds weird.

Look took the broom? What does that mean?

And how is a statue singing a song?

And what were the gold coins for? Just score? I got 97771.

selfdefiant responds:

Yes, yes and maybe yes. Thanks!

[Shrunken Survival 7]

It's unclear which "direction" a letter is pointing. Not only are some letters the same upwards or downwards, like N, but also if you know a letter is in its normal upright position, you don't know which arrow corresponds to that. Is it up? It could just as easily be right or down. However, maybe you accounted for all that and allowed multiple possible solutions, since I did get it on my first try.

[Poop Inside]

Is this really just a game of luck? See how many coin flips you can win in a row?

The style is cool, though. I guess this game isn't really about the game.

[Pixel Staff]

Boy, does this game need a minimap! I found everything except the last heart piece, I think.

I discovered a glitch that allows you to climb walls by standing on tiles in the walls. It only worked when I hovered into the walls, though.

[Letters From Secret Santa]

On December 4th, if you're clever, you can go back and take the word nothing and put in up in the air to make "nothing here." What's that for? I thought I was discovering some cool secret, but nothing happened.

And why is there a quit button in the main menu? It doesn't do anything.

OmiyaGames responds:

Haha, yeah, the "nothing" text was actually a way to prevent you from getting stuck. You can only carry one word at a time, so if you ended up carrying "nothing" to the point Krampus shows up, you won't be able to progress further without dropping it elsewhere. You did technically find a cool secret: it completes a secret sentence.

As for the quit button, it does do nothing on the webplayer. Seeing that this was exported in native executable format as well, it serves a better purpose for those platforms. We simply forgot to take it out for the webplayer.
