IIITesTerIII's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Urban Campaign]

Great game that runs very smoothly and plays pretty well, but I think that one of its major downsides is that the only playmode option is 2 Players :( I mean, it's great for a side-option, but when that's the only option available then it's kind off hard to play it alone... But other than that, this seemed quite interesting, I'm excited to see future uptades for this game :)
Maybe also add in some citizens that can be convinced under certain circumstances? :P

Very enjoyable game with great performance and also a pleasing pixel art style :)
I like how you added the different types of enemies, this definitely made the game more fun. But I would really like to point out some of the small downsides from it first:

- At the beginning of the game I thought that the bar with the head was like the health bar/armor and the one below the damage/amount of shots we can do, but later I understood the concept of the game a little bit more. You just have to protect both of the buildings on the sides, but the only thing they're different from each other is just the look, the don't give like an advantage or something. I think it would be a little bit more fun if you made so the one gives you more damage depending on how full the bar is and the other one like the speed or something? ;)

-Speaking of advantages, I think the game would also need some upgrades or bonuses in the fight, like higher fire rate, burning character that kills enemies on contact, a clone etc.
Maybe also a 2 player mode then with 4 different buildings? Would be awesome ^^

-I also think that pretty much all of the Ludum Dare 39 are amazing and I love jams like that, they deliver to us very high quality products that are a blast to play and also an interesting competition. But from my own experience I would say, that the games are a bit too "straight forward", I mean, yeah, they're all a bit arcade-styled so that they can focus on the main goal, but I think that the game creators should also add some more customizations to the game, like different stages, the option to customize the character etc. It's not too bad if you don't do it (most don't do it), but I just generally think that those would be some nice touches people could work on after they've released the game, just to make the games more in-depth :P

welp, yeah, that was pretty much it,, hope you'll think about changing some of the things in the game that I've mentioned ;)

I'm glad that you enjoyed it, IIITesTerIII :D and thank you so much for the very constructive and valuable feedback! I will take all of this in account to improve the game and for the next Ludum Dare game ;)

[Cosmo Beat]

Looks great! The dialogues are well made, the visuals and the soundtrack(s) as well :)
I sadly did not get too far because it was a bit too hard, in my opinion. I would probably increase the time in which they're vulnerable, since 0.5 seconds isn'r really enough..

But other than that, it seemed pretty decent. But then again, reduce the difficulty a bit and also try to make the dialogue in the fight less distracting, I have to look completely away from the fighting scene in order to read it..

[Straw Hat Samurai]

This was a totoal blast to play! Man, impressive, thinking that this was made like 9 years ago...
The combat system is pure gold. Very original. We have to many button mashers and stuff nowadays, so this was a great change of pace :D

It was epic as well - Like, REAAALLLY epic. I felt like the most badass anime character imaginable. Especialyl when the level ends with this black-red tone, wow...

I also like how this is not a typical "broken, old and annoying game". It does not have too many bugs,is very playable and enjoyable, I feel like I have complete control over the character, and it does not dissapoint with some gameplay issues or bad graphics. Both were amazingly put together.

So, briefly said, this game is really sick. Everyone should play it, gives you a real badAss feeling ;D

[Slash Arena: Online]

Thanks a bunch for bringing this awesome, addictive as hell and enjoyable game to the site! :3 Man, it's soo good :D
The graphics are very nice, don't look to ugly for being "not too detailed", I'm also surprised by the performance of this. The graphics in combination with the multiplayer should've caused a lot of lag... but they didn't. That's really great :D

Generally said, amazing game with no flaws. Kind off reminds me of WoW =)
Also, a small side question: Does everyone have a different character to start the game with? I've started with the red-haired guy that has the axe, but I saw some people play with the orcs or that other guy

tatar1nro responds:

Thank you!
>Does everyone have a different character to start the game with?
No, the first character always the same. At new experience levels you will receive tickets which allows you to unlock new characters.
> Kind off reminds me of WoW =)
Yep, we tried to save the spirit of WoW.

[Little Wheel]

Good thing I found this game again! Can't believe it's over 8 years old at the time I'm writing this... wow.
It's incredible. The animations couldn't be any smoother, the graphics and the art style were pleasing as well, and I liked the story, even though it was kind off short and a bit too casual. Still, true masterpiece for it's time :3

but yeah, gotta admit, that music does kind off get annoying after like 5 minutes xD

[demonblood]

For one of your first projects, this is pretty great! :) The visual art style is quite decent, the level design was well made since it is not too repetitive and quite long.
My only complainment would be the speed and lack of "action". By making the game a bit faster paced and adding maybe more obstacles/enemies you could spice the things a bit up.
Good job on this :3

fedeCalchera responds:

thanks.:) now i feel bad for writing that,as i don't want any pity ratings ;)
I see your point. A friend had a similar complaint about pacing, i will absolutely experiment with some higher speeds an more action in the levels. Level 3 was a little test at a more momentum driven level design, but as i understand you are also talking about the characters movement speed.
thanks a ton for the feedback.

[Reverie - Prelude]

Incredible! Can't believe that you two aren't like big game developers or something, this is a true masterpiece!
The athmosphere is fantastic, everything works great and smoothly, and I also like the art style and the changing colors. One of the better games I've played in a while, pretty impressive! :D

[Papa's Pizzeria]

A legendary classic that brought to us a famous series of very addictive job simulators... Had some time today, and decided to play it again... after around 5 years. Those memories... ^^

Great game for its time, but it doesn't quite catch up with the newer games. It's just too old and gets repetitive VERY quickly, I would never be able to get Papa Louie as a customer without losing my sanity. I guess I'll just leave it at day 14 xD
I'm excited to check out all the other games from you that I didn't look at before... I'm excited to see how the games have improved :D
