TankTheta's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Frog to the moon]

I find the cherry jump system to be a bit too inflexible for a platformer.

HenrySanchezNG responds:

Next will be a super turbo mode ninja pirate with like a million moves and zero cool down for all abilities.

(I'm serious)

[Arm Of Revenge Trial]

I really think at the moment the input delays AND the lack of telegraphing from enemies is massively hurting the game in terms on my enjoyment.
As well as it feeling like the style's in conflict. I am constantly questioning why there's victorian era baddies in a game where you have a clearly cybernetic arm and the bosses (as well as the main character) feel straight out of anime instead. This idea needs clean up, but it certainly has potential.
I wish you luck, but you gotta fix this game a bit dude.

[Fight and Flight]

It was an enjoy but flawed experience.
One of the main issues is the redundancy of the attack completely (I can just use dodge all the time and there's no benefit to killing enemies)
The other issue that end game, it becomes so fast that I as a player feel disorientated and ill. It just becomes frankly overwhelming to the point of quickly losing enjoyment. I got to about 337. I would love to see this concept be developed into levels with more enemy variety, more player actions and hell even boss fights. Because I could see that happening if you're smart.

Goodluck :D
I'll be voting for it as I enjoyed it alot even with it's flaws.

[Closed Circuit]

It's just the gameplay is frankly without challenge. You are so limited in your options and the enemies are all the same. So there's no nuances or ways to raise the skill cap. There's a cool kinetic feel but this needed more meat on the bones frankly.

[Fisher3D]

The camera is downright awful man. Seriously, this is unacceptably bad.

[Nino, your grandpa is nuts!]

It's a simple but fun little game. I feel like it should be expanded upon, since you got some nice gameplay ideas (such as the white being defensive shields, even being able to be put around the player to stop them shooting), and the car boss was fairly difficult (The Grampa could of been more difficult, he was more defense than offense)

I reckon, make the patterns more complex and interesting, use more varied mechanics, improve upon the level design (It was frankly just a corridor), and make better reasons for enemies to fight you. The story was incredibly bare bones and random.
Also, I would like a no kill route, which is more difficult but rewards the player in a sense.

All in all, not bad, I would love to see this expanded upon in future. Into a much larger game with more interesting and difficult foes.

Delunado responds:

Thank you very much for playing! I agree with your ideas. It is a Game Jam game so it was made in just 7 days, lots of ideas haven't been included because of that. I'll take them into account, thank you again!

[Green-SpiderMan Beta]

Dude, the dialogue box is off the screen. It's literally unplayable if you can't see what choices you're making. Also you should change the menu screen.

[untitled shooting thing]

It's a bit too simple to be honest. But, for probably your first game, it's certainly better than most. And I think there is potential. But you should first get some criticism so you can improve for making a full game.

First off, add more enemy types (this is just one simple fairly dull enemy with no animation. People want enemy variety because it makes the game interesting)

Second, add an end to the game (etc, make levels and a way to reach to the end of the levels, there's no goal so there's no motivation for the player)

Third, jump to a new Game Engine, Scratch is a very bad engine for running games, even this game clearly had some issues with performance. I recommend Unity or Godot, both are good for this sort of thing.

Now, with all that out of the way, I want to give some praise where it's due. I think the sprite art, is not bad. Needs some work to be a bit more stylised and interesting (it's quite square-ish rather than organic), but it's not bad for a beginner.
I'd need to see more of what you could do to give more informed feedback though (this is a very limited view of what you can do)
Player is simple, but controls okay. I think you should make the player itself more interesting though.

Overall, give this game more of a concept you can really build around to make it stand out. Think of games you enjoy, and why you enjoy them. And take inspiration from those, to assemble your own game, trying to make it a polished gem. Because this game needs a stronger idea I reckon. But there's potential.
Show a new build of this game in future once you've taken all the feedback. Since people can give more specialized feedback on what you can improve.
I wish you luck on that.

Dim-J responds:

Those are some really good tips, thank you for taking the time and effort to give such a informative feedback. Appreciate it :D
Also yeah Ive been trying to switch to another game engine called Pygame. So yeah I might change the game engine.

[Cellular Sentinel]

Got to 10k. You needed more enemy variety for sure. 2 enemy types, it's too simple.
And the player is incredibly simple too (No attack or combat variation). I can't rate higher than this until you do more.

[STARSHIP PROTOTYPE]

It needs alot of work, but there's certainly potential here. One of the main issues is that the boss design feels simple and really rough. The other is the obstacle hitboxes (especially for the plants) is unclear.
And the player has very little avoidance options. And very ineffective feeling gunplay.

Refine it more :D
