TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[AXUO]

Okay, how is this even a game at all, let alone a puzzle game? What's the challenge? I flew through those randomly generated levels. Just keep pressing up, occasionally taking care of spikes and gaps, and then rotate when you get to the right column and repeat until the goal. Over and over again. Maybe by clicking continue instead of new game I somehow glitched it so that I had unlimited blocks to place or something. But as far as I could tell there's no challenge other than unusual controls and no point to a lot of the game mechanics. Like what's the point of using spikes to destroy metal blocks? Why not just leave the metal blocks there? Anyway, on level 27 or something I decided to press escape, and it took me back to level 21! What the hell is up with that? And there needs to be a way to progress the text, in case people want to read everything without waiting around.

Pizzamakesgames responds:

My apologies about the unlimited blocks, that was my fault. It should be fixed now.
The game saves every 10 levels, by pressing escape you return to the map screen, starting at the beginning of the world, I should probably make that more clear.
You can't advance AXUO's dialogue as he's an independent individual.

[Runny Square]

I can't help but feel like the game has a slight delayed reaction and it's killing me.

NeithR responds:

Sorry about the delay (- -). I have optimized the code but the game is still having delay only if played on browse.

[Super Chibi Knight]

I found so many super secret exp bags once I was already maxed, but I can't find the last two glitch bros for the life of me.

And how do you get the Kali and Forest Offender medals?

It's kind of weird how you can start doing a quest sometimes before you've talked to the guy who gives it to you. Like I talked to this guy who said I have two manna orbs remaining even though he hadn't told me to find manna orbs.

BoMToons responds:

Last 2 glitch bros are in the full version :-D

Do something evil after you rescue the boy to get those 2 secret medals...

[Rocky River]

Why would a rhythm game have no music?

SammySellout responds:

Tharos,

I had issues with the sound clip files when building the web version for some reason. Although there is not theme music in the mobile versions, there are 8bit sound clips for every movement the fish makes and for every crash. If you have any recommendations on where to source good "rhythmic" background/theme music, i'd love to her about it!

[Warp Point]

You say to switch to full screen, but give me no way of doing that. So I can't play.

Unit02Games responds:

If the game will load for you then it shouden't matter cause the problem which switching to fullscreen fixes is only in the html5/openGL version which I took down due to it being buggy

[CardPeeGee (vanilla)]

It's pretty annoying not being able to take back cards that you've played mistakenly.

CaptainSmug responds:

Very true - I did this deliberately, but might change it in future, it's a bit too easy to click through some events without realising what you've done

[Vilmonic Lite]

My trowel wouldn't give me any dirt during the tutorial, because it thought I hadn't made the trowel yet.

bludgeonsoft responds:

I'll check that out, thanks.

[RC Land - Quadcopter FPV]

This is easily one of the best 3D browser games ever. It deserves a much higher score.

I guess people are rating it badly because they find it difficult to control. Which is sad, because games are so often scrutinized for one little thing and the rest of the game is disregarded because players can't see past the flaws.

I do have some gripes. I wish there were hotkeys so that you didn't have to click continue. I wish there was a way to restart the level, rather than going back to the menu. And I wish you didn't lose the money you got on the level if you die. But I can't deny all the incredible things about this game.

VadimSIlver responds:

Now I am preparing for publication Multirotor Sim. I think you'll like it)

[Decepticide]

What NES games are you playing that are 15 minutes long?

Anyway, it would be nice if it prompted you to make sure you wanted to reset the game because I lost my progress trying to reload my gun with R.

The game eventually froze after I killed a purple enemy that had followed me from one room to another. I lost even more progress that time. Not giving this game another chance.

Joben7 responds:

I was trying to say short but difficult, I'll change it to be more clear.

Noted, I'll change the reset button next patch, maybe to B for back to beginning.

About the freeze, I have no idea what could cause it, over the last month I've been making it I've never had one and on the site the several times I've played through never had one either, sorry.

I'm thankful you took the time to review though, hope you enjoyed it at least a little.

[Dubstep Cat & Obamouse Save The World!]

You need some invincibility after you die and come back. I made it to the boss with 3 lives and died almost immediately.

codemonkey77 responds:

Yeah, I know I did plan to add that in soon, along with a few additional features.
