NekoMika's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dodge]

Minimal style and the such seems alright. Seeing as this is a test game more or less, not too much to review on it.

The gameplay itself is simple and just dodging obstacles, the only real difficult thing was the red line that would appear anywhere.

The audio seems pretty iffy. The only sound is a loud grinding sound when you get hit and it kind of acts as a jumpscare for the first time you get hit honestly. Should probably lower the volume on that a bit as well as adding background music to add a little more flavor to the game.

Overall, not bad, but not too good either.

Anubis5605 responds:

yeah I'm working on that.. the game itself is an embedded Scratch project (scratch.mit.edu) so the sound you hear is the audio lagging (idk why it does that, I wish it didn't). I deleted the music from the original because I don't think that Newgrounds covers Creative Commons Licence 3.0, but I am going to add in music I am making.
I will add more elements so don't worry about that, and I am planning on updating this sometime soon.
Thanks for the review, I'm not a professional game maker here, but hopefully I can fix it.

Sometime I hope to add in coins so you can buy icons.

[Sonic Jumper]

Not a bad start, also this is NOT a rhythm game. This would fit more as a platformer.

There is no music or sound effects so nothing to comment on there.

The gameplay is a bit off or hard at times. Should make a note in the comments that you jump by pressing the Z key. However, the last two levels are just out of nowhere and a sudden jump in difficulty (no pun intended.) You have wind blowing you super fast for the next to last level. Then in the last level (space level which I assume is the last level), there is no way to reset if you mess up. It sends you flying all the way back down to the bottom of the screen with no way to restart other than restarting the whole game itself.

There is only one sprite and it seems to be a sprite of Sonic from the Game Gear game series. Even when he jumps or dies, there is nothing that changes with his sprite. Should work on that if you end up improving on this game in the future. I also noticed in the Orange level, the one roof platform is probably one block size too low since I died trying to jump just underneath it several times.

Overall, seems like you were just testing yourself to see if you can make a decent game. It is not a bad start but I feel there is room for improvement, should look up some platform game design tutorials to help out.

Thanks for the feedback!

Not a bad time-waster honestly. The gameplay is mashing your keyboard and then pressing Enter. The only issue I have is I have restarted the game at least 5 times and it always gets stuck looping on a tweet over and over again regardless of how much you type it. :(

The music is pretty nice though.

ah dangit i still gotta fix that lol

[Kelin's Delivery: Rain]

Not a bad short game, kind of reminds me of GameBoy Color or NES games.

The gamplay is moving then interacting with the environment to figure out what to do to advance the story next.

Would not mind playing more games like this in the future, pretty good game if you have 20-30 minutes to waste.

NeithR responds:

Thanks for playing!
And yes, I am planning to make more games like this in future :-).

[Trial And Terror]

Fast paced and a little bit of luck

The gameplay is simple with using arrow keys to move and try reaching the end while hitting as little as possible on the way. No death count or time trial mode so it was not all bad.

The music fits and does not distract from the game itself.

Overall, not bad, kind of reminds me of Fracuum a bit, which was also a fun minimal style game on here. :)

stargazerstudio responds:

I'm glad you liked the game :) I wanted to make it simple as possible so it works on mobile too :)

Thanks for commenting !

[The Maze 2]

You can get a soft-lock in level 2 where the ball just vanishes and you have to close the game and restart it. Also, level 2 amps up the difficulty way too far and too quickly after level 1.

Silva-Thornbrig responds:

thank you, everyone, for your advice, I'm still learning but I got a new pc and my old one broke so I can't really fix this game I'm learning a new game dev software and hope to make the best game I can in the future. I'm currently working on an rpg in rpg maker and learning unity to try for better games.

[Peter Knetter]

Nonsense fueled short game. I noticed once you got to the large sandwich screen that there was no way to go past there so I assume that is the last level of the game. The sentence splicing was interesting to say the least.

Fidgety48 responds:

SANDWICH!
