TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ice cream from space]

Way too much tedious block pushing. It wouldn't be so bad if you could push blocks at the same speed you move.

In the final dungeon, I literally had to leave the room and come back after each dropped wall, because blocks became inaccessible. Gameplay this frustratingly tedious is just poor design.

Also, why can't I go back and get all the hearts after the ending?

Miroko responds:

You can pass the last dungeon without getting stuck you just need to think on the spot.
You can push blocks faster with the rolling ability.
As for the hearts that's why there is a medal for collecting all hearts. It would've been too easy your way.
Thank you for playing.

[Crossroads]

Text adventures need a better interface. Should recognize "ax" as well as "axe," for example. And there should be a lot more shortcuts, like "exa" in place of "examine." You should be able to type "n" instead of "go n."

kcnh responds:

Thanks for your review, the game indeed lacks a lot of flexibility in the commands!

[Max Fury [Death Racer]]

On level 12, I went backwards after one of the cliffs and then went off the map and fell forever. http://oi62.tinypic.com/4k6xzs.jpg

Thanks!!!

[Ice Story ( 氷物語 )]

If there's no way to jump down through platforms, levels should be designed so that you never have to. On the very first level, once you're above the bottom layer, you can never go back to get the books. And the first time I played it glitched so that I started out on the top layer.

Obviously there are too many buttons, as people have been saying. This could actually be done with just directional keys and one other key.

What's the number next to your lives? It's always 0. If it's supposed to keep score or time, it doesn't work.

castpixel responds:

So. How would you do it with just one key? How would you dash? How would you throw? And how would you make sure that you can dash and throw while you're already carrying a dino? I'm really interested in your feedback!

Secondly: it's a puzzle platformer. The first level was intentionally there to show you that you have to be careful before you jump. You see it on bubble bobble all the time. It's punishing, but it's fair, nobody made you jump, there was no immediate danger.
The number next to your lives would have been score if I didn't have a 3-day limitation

[Word Play 2]

Oksy, run your puns by a native English speaker first because a lot of them don't make any sense.

Also, write code that can parse multiple versions of the correct answer. There's no excuse for being case-sensitive. An example of how you could check to see if the player has the right answer regardless of case would be
if (textField.text.toUpperCase() == "CEREAL KILLER")

And make sure you allow for different wording. There's no way to guess that the correct wording is "The eye of the hurricane." So you need to also accept it as correct if they leave out the "the" and just put "eye of the hurricane." And definitely allow for "eye of the storm" or "eye of the tornado."

Munguia responds:

Tell me dragon, which pun did you not understand? you think there´s no excuse for being case-sensitive? i don´t made the uppercase rules, Capitalization is part of Punctuation Rules ask your school teacher.

[Pico Sim Date <3]

Get enough balls to fuck in public. That's when this game got really exciting. I love Bree.

So I guess...
Bree likes humor
Trish likes diligence
Donna likes confidence
Allie likes creativity
Hun-ni likes sensitivity

Which means I'm excited for Nene, because by process of elimination she's the one who likes audacity. So she responds well to you squeezing her butt on a date.

Moosh responds:

Haha, you are correct sir!

[ＢＥＤ✰ＨＯＧＧ]

[Major League Boxing!!]

How do you get the welcome screen outtake?

LoadCartoons responds:

[Saved by the Bell]

There were only 9 types of bells I saved in the game, but then it gave me achievements for saving 22 types of bells.

Munguia responds:

Yes, save 9 bell studens, win the game and just watch the list of 13 Teachers The Bell Saved, its funny to full the 500 points of medals. :)
