Thetageist's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Toybox Christmas Puzzle]

Oh shit, I clicked the link in your news post and realized that I was playing this exact game on Coolmath two minutes ago. So I guess I've got a headstart on beating these levels! Haha!

My only complaint so far has been that the pickup and drop sounds are a bit loud and grating compared to the rest. Definitely going to try and beat this whole thing, though!

Steinberg responds:

Oh cool, guess coolmathgames is still really popular!

I was surprised when they contacted me to license my game for their website cause i didnt knew they were still around.

And you playing it there and then commenting here was a huge coincidence so it means they have a big playerbase still. Glad its reaching more people.

Thank you very much for playing and thanks for the feedback! Will definetly tweak the sounds a bit if i ever release a new version or update.

[Looping Larceny]

Holy shit, I finally beat this.

Definitely a fun game, it's one of a few titles I know where the name of the game is strategizing and memorizing exactly where you're going to make any progress before time runs out. Every power-up leads into each other very well.

bluswimmer responds:

Thank you!

[MODE GAL]

I love this aesthetic so much, wish there was more! More modes, levels with multiple modes, etc!

Tiny nitpicks: I didn't have the idea until later that I could jump on the enemies, and also struggled with finding all the shiny gem things.

[Yule Duel]

So far I've been having a great time and enjoying the leveling up process. I'm just not sure how to use the sparkles on the paths! Are they supposed to lead somewhere? Or are there different sparkles I need to find?

Edit: Whoops. Different sparkles. Having trouble finding all of them, though, and my luck with the RNG is horrible.

Albe responds:

Try interacting with the sparkles!

[Screwy dress up]

As the Costume Jam gal, I'm legally obligated to play this. I love the designs and art overall, really feels like one of those DeviantArt dress-up games from back in the day, as other people have said! Hope you keep making more of these or adding to this game!

[Mystic Fog Adventure]

Hey! I love this game so far, its visual style and gameplay are really interesting!

One tiny suggestion about the game so far is that I'd appreciate a visual indicator that a nap is needed, because otherwise it just looks like the game isn't responding to my keyboard input.

Also, how do I resolve the red question marks using the torch? I'm dragging the torch onto the question mark and it isn't working. (Edit: Must be a specific torch, it looks like.)

nimlos responds:

hey hey! thanks for feedback, maybe i should make message at the end of "day" permanent... never thought it could look like game just stuck.

and yeah, some red question marks could be near 2 torches but you need to find specific one >_<

[Bleek]

I love the story and character of this game, as well as the creative and spooky enemy types! Very well executed overall!

Bug report because I forgot to mention: Sometimes the medals/high scores desync with the API and I have to reload the page before they'll sync up again.

Edit: May be just me switching tabs too much lol

FodderLabs responds:

Thanks for playing!

And we love the characters in this game as well. And I would love to expand on both the story and the characters as well! :D (More content to come soon! :P)

Oh strange, let me take a look at the code and see what is up! Thanks for bringing this to my attention! :)

[Creature Collab 2023]

Much more interactive showcase this time around! Only question: I don't know how to scroll through longer descriptions.

Edit: Didn't know you could actually scroll through it the normal way. Okay.

Nebulate responds:

Just use the scrollweel on a mouse. If its on mobile. idk

[punking vs guost]

This is a nice demo and runs smoothly! However, per the NG game guidelines, you should work on making this into a finished game with set goals and obstacles (cost of towers, etc) before you post it to the Game Portal. Interested to see where this goes!

raitismilk responds:

thisthing goingto be like pvz it going to be big and more towers incuding cost

[Greedy Goblins]

Either I'm missing something that'd allow me to circumvent traps that are too fast for me, or I the player is too slow. Everything is very fleshed out, though!

Edit: There’s a run button… I’m an idiot. Thank you, I’ll have another try now!

KageKMB responds:

Some of the later levels require you to hold the run button to avoid hazards.
