TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Abduction]

I have a few hints:
Don't bother upgrading grandma too much. He'll pick up the gems eventually no matter what.
Don't upgrade granny's stamina beyond your own stamina. There's no point in having the bar recharge faster than you can deplete it.
The final $90000 upgrades may not be worth your while. That's nearly a quarter the cost of the game-winning upgrade. There may not be time for your investment to pay off. I don't know the actual definite values of how much the upgrades upgrade you so that's why I'm using uncertain terms here.

This is a lot like some John Cooney games where you just keep upgrading your ability to collect money. It's kind of boring and pointless. There's no real challenge.

Also, this game pretty much has nothing to do with abduction.

[You Have One Box]

Terrible art. Terrible music. Terrible level design. It's so bad it's... kind of charming.

Anyway, not bad for a Ludum Dare game.

[L.I.F.E.]

For the old age stage, just hold down the mouse button and leave the Flash window.

[Cyber Rush]

Way cool. I think I got all the "on a single run" achievements on my first run.

But here's a tip: die at your first opportunity. That way it will be easy to get the "beat your record" medal. It's very difficult for me to get that one.

[Dragoncon Battlemat]

Click-and-drag scrolling doesn't seem to work.

It's a good idea, but altogether sloppily executed.

mwmdragon responds:

Click and touch the edges of the screen.
The other option of just moving your mouse to the edge of the screen doesn't work in Newgrounds arcade system.

[Queen's Quests]

Game is glitched. You should keep the knight from going off the screen. When you launch a ball while off-screen, it just never shows up and you go through the level with no ball.

There should be a way to start the level without clicking in case you wanna use the keyboard controls.

Also, it's really annoying how the game keeps trying to reposition my character according to where the mouse cursor is, even when I move my mouse cursor off the Flash window! The keyboard controls screw up so much that they shouldn't even be in there.

The first level ended with two diamonds on the screen that it wouldn't let me collect.

[Alien Splatter]

It's pretty condescending to say that if this is too hard then we should play something from the current generation. Especially considering that this game is in the current generation.

SinclairStrange responds:

Oh did you not know? This is a lost gem back from the days of the NES. :P Hehe.

It's just a joke, last NES styled game I made and uploaded here I got a barrage full of reviews saying "too hard" 0 stars. It's just my way of getting back at them.

[Spitter]

What's a pretty girl doing in my backyard?
