TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Deepak Fights Robots]

Hmm, I don't THINK I did hallucinogenic drugs today.

Why does nobody seem to understand what a puzzle platformer is? If this is a puzzle platformer, name a platformer that's not.

I assumed that since this game consisted of short, challenging levels which had multiple paths through them, and that its focus was on the shortest time possible, that it had more strategy than most. What would you call it?

[WorldBox]

Awesome world simulator! I'd love to see this made into a real game. Also it would be nice to zoom in and see all the people.

[Purple Planet]

When they fell through the ground I was reminded of The Dig.

When I saw socks lying around I was reminded of Pajama Sam.

I love the "I want to believe" poster of the human rocket ship.

Had to use the walkthrough. Beat the game without using the book. Weird.

[Anti-Cast II]

The language decryption puzzle is great because you can't quite get it all the way. You can only get it down to 6 possibilities and then use trial and error. It's like the uncertainty involved with real language decryption.

The coding, the sound, and the English were all pretty poor though. I got through the part where you rotate the squares without even using the fourth square like you're supposed to. I was confused as to the purpose of a lot of things. The language puzzle was great but the game design as a whole was pretty lacking.

[Explode]

It feels untested. Like it was just assumed that the levels would work with each par score. I'd like to see the author beat level 8.

[HUEBRIX]

I started with level 35 and I beat it without beating any of the other ones. Nice game. It's all about deductive reasoning.

[Collect]

It should say 11th, 12th, and 13th instead of 11st, 12nd, and 13rd.

It wasn't until my 16th generation that I realized I could control where I start each level because you start exactly where you finished the last one. It makes it like a puzzle. Nice level design.

[Tiny Evolution Adventure]

Ever seen a spider eat a lizard?

AdventureIslands responds:

Nope, but what if that spider was damn huge?

[Quietus II]

Wait a minute, how can you die if you're already dead? And why does a spirit float away? Where is it going? And what is it? Aren't you a spirit already? Does your soul have a soul?
