TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sweater: Trouble in Cottonvale DEMO]

I really like that you made a momentum-based platformer. It feels like you gave this game a lot of character that helps it stand out in a sea of overly derivative platformers that do nothing new. I'm sure you know the game has issues, but you didn't list the game as a demo or anything so it seems kind of misleading. You set up a story about an energy source for Planet Plum but then the game unceremoniously ends after beating a boss we know nothing about. Are you intending to continue working on the game at all?

I don't mind the momentum mechanics normally but Platform Panic feels very strange when you're riding the moving platform because you don't maintain any of the platform's momentum. You jump and then immediately stop moving forward like there was an anchor holding you back.

Also, it seems like the levels should keep a record of whether you've collected the stars or completed the bonus portals.

WooltronicStudios responds:

The game is still being worked on as it is a demo, but I could see why you would miss that since it's only mentioned in the title of the game's page. Thank you for the feedback too!

When I try entering an R into the name field it just restarts without letting me submit my score

How do you make the troll ghost appear?

FodderLabs responds:

Thanks for playing!

In order to summon the Troll Ghost, you need to have defeated 666 ghosts defeated overall (this carries over from each session).

Once that condition is met, on your current session, you have to beat at least 66 ghosts before he starts to spawn.

He has about a 6% spawn rate, whenever a ghost spawns.

Be warned, he is super tanky! Make sure to grab as many power-ups as possible.

And avoid touching him!

Good luck! ;D

[TYP-HORS-DISSEY]

It shouldn't be rated e because of the profanity.

Tombdude responds:

[Hauling Ass]

There needs to be a way to quit during the game. How do you play the secret level?

Octopus9000 responds:

it's totally not in the credits after you beat all 3 difficulties ;D

If you use the zero hint after dropping the energy field, it makes the energy field come back

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

Thanks for finding that bug! It should be fixed now. Have fun!

[Mr. Stretch and the Stolen Fortune DEMO]

Well which is it? Mr. Stretch or Dr. Stretch?

Muketronics responds:

When you die you loose your doctorate, but Mr. Stretch still thinks he's a doctor.
