saomuel's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Frozen Helm]

I don't think it can be called an "metroidvania", it's not exactly the type of the game.

But I like the concept of the game, it's creative. You have a item that opens the entire level, but it have a ammo gauge and have to be recollected. Nice catch.

I had a good time. ^^

Extar responds:

Glad you enjoyed it, the idea of the helm running out of power came from Tom Hall, creator of Commander Keen, who organised the jam this was made for. :)

[Generic Fishing Game]

Relaxing lake
Full of fish
Today I catch

[Parachute Peril]

So fun and challenging!
It's so compelling to try making into the leaderboard!

bluswimmer responds:

Thank you!

[Inside you are two wolves or something]

awoooooooo!

[KAT GAME]

This is that type of game

- Eh, this is so simple. I could had this idea myself.
- Yea, but you didn't. Say you wish already.

This is Newgrounds juice

[Throw Rocks At Shit GOTY Edition]

"If you're gonna dump on people the kind of the steaming, stinking, smelling dump that your kind traffics in, at least stand by your dump."

[Stupid House]

Liked the ambientation and the puzzles
And thanks - really, THANKS - for not throwin' in that cheap jumpscares. That's not funny, seriously.

And, if you allow me a bit of constructive criticism, I was reading the answer you gave to Soullock down below about hearing impairing and sound. You said basically "Yeah, my game have problems of acessibillity, but you can see other games have too". We're talking about YOUR game here. It's about you adressing the issue, the others athe others. So, if you want this unasked advice: be the one who defines what your game is, not the games or genres or whatever that may inspired it. ;)

Keep up the good job.

tRipGlyPh responds:

Thanks for your feedback!

Soullock touched theme of "any modern Point-n-Click games" and I gave an example of some non-modern games with similar mechanics. That's all.

About my game:

Probably I should have made a custom option to "facilitate sound riddles" or written a warning about the presence of musical puzzles in the introduction...

Anyway, I'll keep that in mind. Sorry.

[Hanukkah Runner]

This game thinks outside the box. Just a runner, normally without an end, now have an objective: go there, grab thing, go back.

Nice.

KJScott responds:

Heh, yeah given the objective it wouldn't have ever have been an endless runner. The game play was kept simple as I had enough time to implement two of the three major areas, graphics, gameplay, and audio. I happened to choose graphics and audio as the primary areas to focus on.

[Kitty in the City]

Damn, it's cute :3

There's a lot of room to improve, of course. The platforms are kinda weird, steps are individual platforms from where I can fall from. The graphics and colors made a little difficult for me figure out at first which buildings are steppable on the roof and those that don't.
And the kitten could have some more animations.

But other than that, the cuteness is too damn high!!1
