TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Race Against a Duck]

Oops, not bad but wish it saved my progress

[Loch Crystallo]

Absolutely beautiful pixel art. Immaculate vibes. And I got 10/10 on my first try. Not sure how you could get 0 since Black Moor is a gimme

[Phoenotopia]

This is one of the best Flash games ever made. It's really too bad the remake isn't selling, because I really want a sequel. Maybe it would've sold better if you advertised on major Flash sites like Newgrounds and Armor Games, since so many people played it and loved it there. I only found out about the remake from a random Facebook ad just now about the Premium Edition PS4 release. Also consider getting involved with the Humble Bundle to extend your reach. More people need to play this.

[Cathedral Nautilus: Virgiliath]

First time I played, I started the dialog with Virgiliath and then wandered off the screen while the camera was locked on him and then couldn't find my way back onto the screen

[Boing Bang Adventure]

The first world has a bug where levels 1-2 through 1-5 all say 1-5

[Leap of Life]

These aren't really lives because when you touch spikes or fall off the screen you lose all of them, so they're more analogous to health points. If they were lives, you should only lose one when you touch spikes or fall off the screen

[Meowxtape: Delivery]

Dang, I reached 900 miles in endless, but the API didn't record it :(

[Rahul In The Sewer]

What was the point of setting up a storyline if there's no way to win?

[Sweater: Trouble in Cottonvale DEMO]

I really like that you made a momentum-based platformer. It feels like you gave this game a lot of character that helps it stand out in a sea of overly derivative platformers that do nothing new. I'm sure you know the game has issues, but you didn't list the game as a demo or anything so it seems kind of misleading. You set up a story about an energy source for Planet Plum but then the game unceremoniously ends after beating a boss we know nothing about. Are you intending to continue working on the game at all?

I don't mind the momentum mechanics normally but Platform Panic feels very strange when you're riding the moving platform because you don't maintain any of the platform's momentum. You jump and then immediately stop moving forward like there was an anchor holding you back.

Also, it seems like the levels should keep a record of whether you've collected the stars or completed the bonus portals.

WooltronicStudios responds:

The game is still being worked on as it is a demo, but I could see why you would miss that since it's only mentioned in the title of the game's page. Thank you for the feedback too!

Oh no, unskippable slow text :(

The zoom seems to only consider the horizontal distance between the mushrooms and not the vertical distance. This means if they're very close horizontally but very far apart vertically, they can go off the screen
