Coinnin's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[WGE: Level 2]

deplorable

[Dawn Survivors]

The timer starts before starting the game as well as whatever is killing me, none of the controls work, and when I die it repeatedly creates a popup in my browser that says "Game Over - You did not survive the night" that instantly pops up again as soon as I close it, making it where I cant click anything else and I have to close the whole tab to get rid of it. I just saw that You know the bugs there. Why would you keep it up if you know there is a critical bug that makes it unplayable?

its a bug warning

[Floobies ALPHA DEMO]

The colors don't work

[Keys]

Nothing seems to happen other than a message blinking across the screen.

unseconds responds:

Whoops me not telling the players the controls moment, pressing space gets you past that part :]

[Athena's steamworks]

why stager the ZXCV controls like that? Absolutely stupid. Game doesn't work, the start menu says to press "o" but nothin g happens. The ZXCV controls pull up the menu but nothing happens from there.

Samburger360 responds:

The "O" is because pico-8 (the game engine)
By default has two buttons, "O" and "X".

PC maps "O" to C/Z And "X" to X/V

I drew "O" on the title screen because the mobile player uses the defaults I mentioned as virtual buttons.

X/V don't pull up anything, so I don't know what's up with that.

And no, there's no changing it as far as I know.

(Long ahh response, I know)

(Edit: The reason nothing happens is probably because you've been spamming menu, which restarts the game)

(Edit2, I have since updated the title screen to also include a keyboard prompt)

[Tales of Hyperia: The Crimson Knight Demo V2.0]

I appreciate the Gameboy Color graphics, very nostalgic. The dialog could use a lot of work, and there is WAY too much. A game intro shouldn't have this much dialog, makes it boring out of the gate, 95% of this demo was dialog that added nothing to the plot. The fighting was subpar, same cookie-cutter turn based combat as the last 1mil+ turn based games, and the enemy didn't have a health bar showing so no way to gauge progress or strategize actions.

hyp3rblue responds:

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy my demo. I'm not sure I'm following the 95% of dialogue didn't add anything to the plot. As for the combat, I forgot to originally post that this is a homebrew Gameboy game, so it's designed to have that old school turn-based combat. Adding a health bar (or some way to gage HP/MP) is something I may consider in a future build. I appreciate you giving Tales of Hyperia: The Crimson Knight a try.

[Infinite Runner Afterlife]

I got over 15000 and there was never any obstacles, was that on purpose? Also it didn't collect my score.

KobatoGames responds:

Odd. There's supposed to be flames you jump over. Maybe the game had some kind of glitch. Did it work properly on any other playthroughs? I see your name on the Newgrounds high scores for today though it only says 36 as opposed to 15,000.

[Luck of the Draw]

I've noticed that when there aren't my pawns or boxes nearby, the bot will throw the dice at it's own people a lot, and they don't seem to actively try to win sometimes.

[Pumpkin Smashing]

Needs a way to reset the game after losing. I have to reload the whole page.

SoxxIGuess responds:

I am working on that. Expect it for a future update.

UPDATE 11/3/2024
YOU CAN NOW REPLAY WITHOUT HAVING TO COMPLETELY RELOAD THE PAGE.
