TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[ir/rational Redux]

So here's the thing. People are confused by this:
G
M->(G->A)
M
Because they think it's all one line and the G over the 2 M's is all one symbol, like putting a letter over another letter is some kind of operation. You could make it clearer by numbering each line the way the lines were numbered in all the other puzzles, like this:
1. G
2. M->(G->A)
3. M

Really super awesome. Prolly my favorite game of the jam.

[Man Who Sold The World]

I really love weird transcendental existential end-of-the-world games like this. It reminds me of Terranigma. So beautiful. The music and visuals are both simultaneously simple and overwhelming. I just want to drown in this game.

I got stuck on the cave level when I jumped through the roof of the plane and so couldn't get to the door: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/

It would've been cool if you could just land in the cave after doing that. But I guess the plane hadn't reached it yet. I'm glad I figured out you can go back to the menu by pressing escape.

I got all 9 pieces of eternity and I don't know what they did. I got all 4 endings after collecting them. How do you get the last medal? I went through all the comments looking for answers and didn't find any.

krangGAMES responds:

OH MY GOD THAT'S THE WEIRDEST BUG I'VE SEEN YET o_O

Thanks for the screencap! I'll look into why that happened. Considering how the collision is detected in the game, what you've done is... theoretically impossible. Theoretically. Heh, nice work ;)

The last medal is achieved after completing the game with all pieces of eternity, you should've gotten it. Hmm, that's a slightly more distressing bug. Thanks for the tip! At any rate I'm glad you enjoyed it insofar as you got, sorry for the bugs.

And thanks for mentioning Terranigma, that game looks mesmerizing! The graphics kinda remind me of Chrono Trigger... which is a good thing.

[Slime's Cake Quest]

If the barfing isn't working for anyone, try refreshing and making sure your browser is at 100% zoom. That worked for me.

Very impressive work for the time constraints. But the level design is lacking to say the least. Puzzle platformers are about more than just pushing buttons to open doors. Too many of the levels are just about going back and forth over and over again while pushing buttons. It's very repetitive. I liked the idea of spitting out food to activate the springs though.

And... why am I still at the surface after I've already been breaking through the ground?

MintPaw responds:

Thanks, the level design would of been expanded if time permitted.

And because of a lack of backgrounds, that's why.

Just hold down the mouse button, drag your guys off the screen, and you're invincible, like Barzona said.

To fix it you have to check to make sure the mouse coordinates are within the boundaries of the stage.

[Moir]

I'm glad I discovered that you can hold space to speed it up. Even with space it's too slow though. There needs to be a way to make it go much faster, and it needs to be clear.

ArcticArcade responds:

You can also speed the game up from the pause menu if you did not find that already :)

[WereBox 2]

Ha ha, brilliant storyline.

[Bloomo Submarine]

I love games where you get to carry stuff around like this.

[Small Town Detective]

It's called Small Town Detective and yet there are skyscrapers.

And if you're gonna loop some Wikipedia paragraphs for your newspaper, you should probably make it too small to read.

[Relive Your Life]

Would be much better if you could skip cutscenes. Or even if the back button took you to the last minigame instead of the last cutscene. And especially if it saved your progress.

Also, some of the rhymes are just painful.

Anyway, I use Chrome and didn't have any problem becoming a boy.

FrozenFire responds:

It.. does save your progress.

As long as you're logged in you will have your endings on any computer you play on, saved.
