JimmyCarlos's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[BLAKBOX]

The game's actually quite interesting when you understand what to do. The secret seems obvious in hindsight given the author. ;-)

Anonymous-Frog responds:

You got me, I used the funny number 69

[A Change of Heart: A Magical Girl Adventure]

This is really enjoyable! An interesting story, tight controls and a good hard overall challenge.

ShibeyFaceGames responds:

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have several more games coming in the same setting in the near future, spanning several game-play genres. (I'm a game jam addict...)

I hope you'll come back and check them out!

[Sonac the Hodgeman 6]

I think this game badly needs a change in the main game soundtrack. Currently the music doesn't feel like it belongs in FNF or Sonic. The gameplay is solid though, and has an ambitious amount of characters.

Darren responds:

Wasn't sure at first, but I don't think a music change is gonna happen. I get where you're coming from and we did realize it wasn't really the FNF style, but the Sonac games are also their own thing with their own style. I don't feel like it really affects the gameplay in any way, and I like the music we've got, so I wouldn't want to throw it out just to copy FNF a little better.

[Becloudead - Easter Special]

I really enjoyed this! Releasing little holiday specials is a really good way to get interest in the series and do good Alpha Testing. One thing that seemed wrong was the sign next to the wall of hands that said "Shift to walk faster", when it actually makes you sneak. The lever puzzle next to that was also a bit difficult to see properly. Apart from that really good and the best bit was the reveal of the boss and how the levels flow seamlessly into each other.

HeadbanGames responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

That sign is actually right, it say "to walk or to swim faster"
As the normal movement is running, when holding it down you're walking.
Underwater is reversed, you swim slow and holding it down swims faster, and even faster if your on the water surface (crawl swim).

P.s don't forget to try out the other two specials ;)

[Fish Simulator X]

Underrated. The medals add a really good challenge, and it is addicting. Controls are workable.

[Gloom]

Games like this are why I love NewGrounds. The challenge in this game ramps up perfectly
- leading to high-tension runs with an RNG that feels fair yet challenging at the same time. The 15k target is perfect for mastering all the details.

Kwing responds:

Glad you liked it! I wanted the difficulty to be a bit more interesting than "enemies have more HP and do more damage" so I thought the variable speed of the Specter enemies would be cool. When I experimented with having logs spawn farther away the difficulty curve just kind of fell into place.

[Synth Drift]

I've played nearly all of MrNannings' game - and this is by far my favourite. It's really fun and I love the slidey controls like you're on ice.

Also, thanks for the recheck medals feature.

[Feed the King]

This was my mother's favourite game.

Rest in Peace Mumsy.

[Delivery Defense]

Really enjoyed it, nice animation style. Challenging test for the reflexes.

RobC3 responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Its challenging, I know. Thanks for the review.

[Trivial Trivia: Impossible]

So, is this an elaborate joke in that it's impossible to get 100% - hence the title? Or is the game just broken? I really don't know...

applessmillion responds:

Probably on the broken side nowadays to be honest. Should work fine in the NG player or a valid version of Flash.
