pirateplatypus's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[CompetiGems]

This is a really fun twist on the genre. Though it does lose a bit of the excitement when you realize that you aren't playing against other people in real-time. I figured this out because I played a really good round. The next round I got the crap kicked out of me, by myself.

[Justice Hero]

I really like the visual style. I had a problem were sometimes the controls wouldn't respond. For instance sometimes it wouldn't let me steer at all. At the end of the first stage I couldn't turn while holding CTRL to shoot. I know it's not my keyboard because I can use the same key combinations on other games and programs without a problem. It'd be nice if there were a little more progression in the game like upgrades. If you fixed the controls I would have rated it as a 3-4. If you added upgrades it would have definitely been a 4. If you had created left-hand friendly controls or allowed the user to use custom keys it'd easily be a 5.

[The Dollhouse]

It sounds like a cool concept but it appears to be broken. I couldn't click on either bit of text in the first screen. I'd recommend that you make the click-able area larger. It might also be a good idea to turn the text into buttons so it's easier to read. I hope you polish the game up a bit. I'd really like to play it when it's working better.

ConinRi responds:

I'm sorry, when you go into the game you have to click on the house or woods, I should have added this in the description since this is one of the games biggest problems. When I was making the game for some reason I couldn't get the button to work with the text and it kept breaking so I had to switch the buttons to the pictures. Thank you for posting this or I would have completely forgotten about it. I hope you do give the game another try if you'd like. I'm sorry.
In the remake of the game this will be fixed along with many other things.

[Lone Survivor Demo]

This game seems to have a lot of promise. Kudos on making the game DRM-free and reasonably priced. I personally won't buy any software that has DRM. I'd probably buy it if there was a GNU/Linux port (Wine kind of sucks so it's not an option). I really like the visual style. My only complaint is that the game moves too slow and takes too long to get started. By the time I was able to move you'd lost my interest. While I do enjoy a good story-driven game, I have to be in the mood. This would have been a 5 if it got off to a quicker start. That being said if you decide to release a port for GNU/Linux I'll be buying it the next time finances allow.

[Flufy: The Bacteria]

It's a cool idea but it falls short. After playing multiple times I had yet to see let alone collect any of the bonuses that can be used to buy upgrades. It soon got to feeling pointless when you can't upgrade or do anything to progress.

[Orange Block Attack]

This is a really clever idea for a game. It's well made in every way.

[Memory Game]

This is much more polished than I expected when I opened it. I'd like to be able to use either the numbers on my keyboard to enter in the sequence. And it could be easier to tell when a number is being pressed by the computer. All in all it's a good game. The link to sell your source seems broken.

[Fixation]

It's very well done. It would be nice to be able to skip through the dialogue as I'm not in much of a reading mood today. I quite like the puzzle elements.

FreeAsANerd responds:

If you hold the down or S buttons instead of tapping, you can quickly cycle through a conversation. Glad you're having fun, though!

[Easter Match]

There's really nothing new about this one. And what it is isn't done well. It's so slow to respond that it kind of kills the point of trying to beat a time. The graphics are pretty bad. They look like they're just pulled off a Google image search. I'd have rated it better if the artwork was of a higher quality.

adjua responds:

Happy Easter ^_^!!!

[PROTONOID]

Fairly straight-forward chain reaction game. You should really consider getting a writer to fix the grammatical errors.
