MrDiamondEgg's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tricycle Racing X]

Pretty cool! I'd add a way to quickly restart since hitting a wall pretty much guarantees you won't catch up in time. In fact, braking seems kind of pointless to that extent, but maybe you have to rack up time to be able to recover. It is possible I didn't get a high enough score yet.

froggyrs responds:

Yeah, the quick restart is a good idea. Thanks for playing!

[Purple Prose for Purple Hearts]

Randomly clicked on this in the Under Judgment section just because I thought the thumbnail was interesting. I really enjoyed it! Not sure if Lucia is an author self-insert or not but as a character in the "game" she is very likeable. I found myself more fond of her than the player character seemed to be, LOL. I've never been a big fan of cryptic writing because I like understanding stuff and it makes me feel dumb but I think I was able to wrap my head most of the ideas at play, except for the "jumpscare room" shit and the whole lighthouse debacle (but I kinda dig lighthouses so I thought it was cool anyways). I just started "The Morning After" segment but I'm already a few hours into this and it's 5:30 in the morning so I might just edit this later after I go to sleep and finish it.

SMALL TECHNICAL ISSUE: It might've been intentional or just an issue on my end, but during the spear summoning scene PenPy couldn't load an image called shielding_CG or something like that. I would be very sad if I missed out on a cool CG. :(

DollhouseIRL responds:

Thank you so much for the review! I will admit candidly much of myself is in her but I wouldn't say she's completely a self-insert. The project began that way for me as something more autobiographical and that did fewer fantastical or weird things but, as the scope expanded, I think of her as someone dealing with similar things to me in ways I couldn't and wouldn't. I hope you enjoy the rest of it!

Huge whoops as to the image! I will correct that ASAP; thank you for giving me what amounts to a heads up. This was my first project, I think I see what I did wrong, and I am still clumsy and new with Python.

Easy: 6580
Hard: 8100
Guess I got the hang of it by the time I tried hard mode.

JacksonTXG responds:

Glad you enjoyed it.

This is a really cool idea, a Marble Blast style game with a large open world to explore, and I really like the environments you created for it too. But the camera controls could be a bit faster, and giving the player a bit more tight control over the ball would go a long way. It feels like its doesn't accelerate quite fast enough sometimes, but that's up to you really.
I might also suggest adding a feature where the player's horizontal velocity is immediately changed to the direction they are holding down when they double jump. It could give the player an extra fail-safe if they end up going too fast in the air.

MoonkeyLab responds:

Thank you for your tips. I was thinking more about an omnidirectional dash( both on ground and on air) to quickly change direction. Camera will be easy enough though would be better learning how to make a slider in the option(first project in Unity).
Glad you enjoyed the strange landscape :)

[GIMMIKO CLASSIC]

Is "The Purple Miles" a Homestuck reference? The black hand with the vein-like miles coming out of it definitely says so.

Tombdude responds:

Yeah hahahaha! Nice catch!

[360 Degrees]

The game is mouse-only so you can jack off while you play if you want to. Not sure why on earth you'd want to, but hey.

Jacob responds:

I don't know how else to get off anymore.

[Gorf the Frog]

Awesome game, but having something like a pointer that shows the direction you'll launch in might make they game easier to control while keeping its original difficulty.

Mindaot responds:

Thank you for you review!

Interesting idea, we can make a toggleable feature to people who want to learn the game in a easier pace.

Thank you for your feedback again we apreciate it ^^

[Going Down in Fishstory]

Great atmosphere

YaenGames responds:

Thanks!
