TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Escape from ice mountain]

Nicely done

It's fun, and there's a nice atmosphere to it. The art was pretty cool, and fitting, and sort of cute. The music is pretty nostalgic, and gives it a nice retro feel. The intro sequence is really neat. And the voice acting is good in my opinion, compared to a lot of Newgrounds stuff. But by my standards, anything that isn't painful to listen to is good. Seriously though, the voices were great. And I liked the sort of echo effect with the intro narration. The key to good voice acting is to be nice and subtle, and to not assault people's ears.
I certainly have to say the programming was lacking, though. A few bugs include how hard it is to position yourself to file through the bars, dialogue with the cannon guard automatically starting up after finishing but without the window, and reentering rooms from the wrong positions. I could've done better, even with the 3-day time limit.

MonoFlauta responds:

Mmm... most of bugs are fixed in the update, just wait for it u.u takes time :( but well, thanks for the review :)

[[RESPAWN]]

Nice game

I beat it with all the optional coins. Apparently they don't do anything.

In case anyone's wondering, I got past the final spikes in level 19 by taking a running jump and passing through the gap during my fall. You should probably start as close as you can to the previous spikes to give yourself enough space.

[Super Mario BP Oil Spill]

Wow

I just killed myself and ended up getting 4th place. If I had known what the scores were I probably could've gotten 1st.

The game started lagging a lot, though. It wouldn't have been pleasant to trudge through that. I blame poor programming.

[Nephi's Adventure]

Not bad

It could use some keyboard input and it could REALLY use a way to skip dialogue.

[Armed with Wings 3]

Great game

The music is freaking amazing, especially Reflections, the town song.

One thing, though. There really has to be an option to restart a level, possibly by killing yourself. The way it is now, if you get trapped in a glitch you have to restart the whole chapter. I got trapped at the boss of chapter 4 and had to do the whole chapter again.

[I am Not a Witch]

Jesus and Santa Claus

Ha ha, the description alone earned this game a 5 from me. Nice work.

For some reason, it kind of reminds me of the Incredible Speedmaster from Mausland Entertainment.

[Overmode]

Oh great

I played through the whole game and THEN I realize the ending is glitched and you haven't uploaded the fix yet.

Anyway, it's a lot like This Is the Only Level, except shooter instead of sidescroller.

[Gretel and Hansel Part 2]

I freaking love this game

What, you mean the house isn't made of candy?

Yeah, I just beat it at 1:36 AM. I couldn't stop. This game is so amazing. I hope you guys make a lot more games like this.

I'm a big fan of an old PC point-and-click called Sanitarium, and you have managed to emulate its psychotic creepiness for me very well. It also has a hint of the Quest for Glory series. But it's mostly something brand new, and spectacular.

[Satanorium]

Nice

I just had to play this because I'm a fan of an old PC point-and-click called Sanitarium. It's funny that this had one of the same exact puzzles where you had to siphon gas into a can from a car.

[A Sabtastic Sketchbook]

Way cool

The Watchmen characters look like they're drawn from the movie rather than the book. Oh well. I guess those two translated to the movie better than some of the other characters.

Anyway, I'm a huge Rorschach fan. I dressed up as him for the midnight showing at IMAX.
