TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[DreamShock DEMO (2022)]

Yay, it lets me keep my keys after a game over :)

[Bird On Bird]

Medals aren't working! Still a 5-star game, though.

EDIT: Yes, we've all tried refreshing the page many times

EDIT 2: Hey I got 41/40 feathers

Starblinky responds:

Tends to happen on Ruffle games, you have to reload the page. Usually that fixes it. And thank you! :)

[Gods of Defense]

I can see that I have gold and faith and hope, but what is mana and why do I want mana makers to generate it?

bluemath responds:

In order to win the game, you will need to destroy the gates with Annihilators. They require mana to function.

[Astronite - Landing on Neplea]

The intro has too much text and not enough animation.

When I did the interaction with the entity before the first save point, I went left instead of right. Returning to the entity room, the door on the right was still closed and I was able to walk through it.

When I saved at the first save point and then intentionally died at the first enemy, it restored to the room with the save point but my character was invisible. I was just looking at the room with the save point and no character appearing. It's possible that it loaded some kind of corrupt state because of the previous bug.

It's a good demo despite the bugs, though

[Mine Your Way Out]

Good effort but the controls are abysmal. I had no idea that I was supposed to hold down the mouse button and that I could mine anything that was touching empty space. It's so awkward trying to target specific pixels, especially when the cursor doesn't even have a point. Also, the game doesn't explain why some things can be mined and some can't.

[The Bunny Graveyard DEMO [Web Version]]

You had me assign a run key but then the key does nothing in the game :(

[Hop Owl]

Flappy Bird meets Meatboy.

I found the intro text to be chilling. I wish the game got more into that.

I also wish the game told you the name of the level you're playing without having to go back into the menu.

[Star Trek: Collective Mischief]

Ha ha but in the movie the Borg only send one cube!

picochaz responds:

That you know of! 😏

[Otherwise]

Skipping dialog should be two keypresses for every line. One press to skip the scrolling and show the whole line, and another to move on to the next line. A keypress shouldn't move on unless the full line is already visible.

Tanooki81 responds:

Okay, I'll change that! Thank you!

[Cowabunga Down Under]

This game is appropriate for me since I'm visiting Australia right now
