JimmyCarlos's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Ruffle:Another Mission]

This game is highly underrated. It encapsulates the feeling old-school flash games, and is a very good game to speedrun, with good replayability.

speed8327 responds:

Thanks for the awesome feedback.
yah.. i tried to encapsulate the game-play feeling of "hard, challenging but rewarding" design approach like the old-school flash games.

[Slime!]

I love Clumsy Slime! It's really good to see him evolve over these games, the controls are really tight in this game.

Kutejnikov responds:

Thanks!

[The Behemoth Mural Collab]

This is an amazing mural! Well done to everyone involved, it's great to see so many people got their drawing skills out!

Mabelma responds:

Very happy you like it! Thanks for your comment.

[Automaton Escape]

Wow, that was really tough - but really fun! That final boss is brutal! You can really tell the developer loves games of this genre, and has spent loads of time polishing this. This is a very underrated game.

My strategy for the final boss:

1) Get max level by grinding mothership boss.
2) On passing through the gate, start firing green.
3) When the boss gets close enough to you, orange run under him and start climbing the stairs.
4) Purple attack while on the rooftop, he will retreat and go into his next phase.
5) Get close to him and watch for his attacks.
a) His big blue rocket turns red -> use heart mode to absorb the missile.
b) He releases minions -> attack with purple, don't stand still.
c) He releases rockets -> use recovery to get health up and shoot rockets down.

X5Z5 responds:

I certainly do love games of this genre.
I grew up playing games like Armor Mayhem and Plazma Burst 2.

Great strategy for the final boss as well, it's awesome seeing people leaving tips for others in the comments.

[Mina Miner: Dig Deep!]

Brilliant game! Love the multiplayer feature.

EDIT: Managed to get 2 multiplayer matches within 15 minutes.

larrynachos responds:

Has anyone played with you? I haven't gotten in a match since I published the project lol.

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked it!

[SNEK: The Game]

This game is amazing! Really fun twist on the classic snake game, and very addictive! I spent about three hours to top the leaderboard, I made sure I didn't up the top score too much, so as to make it easier for other people to take the top position.

Aprime responds:

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it so much! You should have gone for it, since there's people higher than you if you put it to all time :P

[You're a Circus]

It's got a lot going on, just like the circus! Can you check the "Awesome Ending" and "Scary Ending" medal? They are set at 0 points, and as such, unobtainable.

EDIT: Just earned all the different ending medals. It's an enjoyable game, and takes quite a few hours!

kygron responds:

They're not 0 points, that's how medals start out if no one has ever achieved one. You can be the first!

[Hazel the Plant Witch]

This game is phenomenal! I've never played anything like this, and is so heartwarming. What were your influences for this game?

minibunnies responds:

I spoke with our game designer to see what her inspirations were when creating the game flow of Hazel. The game was originally made for the theme 'Watch them Grow' in the gm48 game jam, which gave the inspiration for being a 'Plant Mom' watching your kids grow and leave home, which is funny because none of us are parents. For the mechanic, it was always something that she had lying in the back of her mind, recording and using dialogue/sounds. She wanted the recorder to have the ability to record sounds such as a vase breaking to lure enemies away but she decided to go for a more cozy and wholesome loop to fit the theme better, and to work within the 48 hour time frame of the game jam. It also reminds her of a point and click adventure game which she is a fan of.
