JimmyTheCaterpillar's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wizard Fight!]

Actually really enjoyed the chaotic vintage presentation here! The sounds were all very satisfying and enjoyable. Controls intuitive -- I would suggest maybe adding some toggle-able music? I like this kind of game!

Wreaker404 responds:

Thanks, m8. I definitely will add some background music. I have actually been learning how to compose midi music, so I will add a self-made track maybe.

[Wink & the Broken Robot Beta 5.8]

cute game, the artstyle is very nice and Wink's design is honestly so fun! I love the dilation of their eye and the happy flips they do. The controls are a little laggy and prevented me from playing for too long, though. Jumping especially, could use better responsiveness. Thank you for making this!

maxoakland responds:

I don't have any issues with lag. Could you help me figure out what's causing this issue so I can fix it?

Are you playing on phone or desktop? It might be your web browser too. Which browser and OS do you use?

[Jelly the Not-Fish]

basically engaging -- the jelly is kinda cute, and I'm unbothered by the bare-bones presentation, but some music or medals or any sense of point at all would be lovely. crazy classic is very funny but unrealistic to play, and the normal mode is dummy baby easy!! maybe some mode in between would be a more ideal difficulty.

BlueJacketPerson responds:

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it's pretty bare-bones mainly because it was supposed to be a sort of simple test thing to see what I could do with the editor.

The "Crazy Classic" mode is basically how the game played in its original version (1.0). A criticism I got from people on other sites who played it was that the game was too fast and difficult, so for this version (1.1) I changed up the regular way of playing by slowing things down and also making it so that the first few items are not bombs and kept the old way of playing as a special mode. Like you've said, though, some stuff still needs improvement.

Currently, 1.2 is in development. One confirmed part of this upcoming update is the addition of sound effects (in order to hopefully add some more life to the game), and other changes might include further tweaking of game difficulties. I can't necessarily guarantee that the next version will necessarily improve everything significantly, but hopefully the upcoming version will be better than the current release.

[Rock Paper Scissors BATTLE demo]

nothing really all that engaging here -- no animation, and the requirement to manually restart each round (with no input/guidance) is pretty goofy. The music is good, but I wonder where it comes from, as there is no attribution whatsoever!

SunglassOrange responds:

I Created This as a Little Project BUT I Am Currently Working on a FULL GAME FOR THIS (with animation, restart easily, and credit and a bunch of other stuff!!!!) :D This Was Kinda of just a demo I made like a year ago. (congrats on 69 fans :3)

[Purple Banana]

Neat concept, and the difficulty curve was nice. However, the game does start out a little slow and it's boring for a minute. Also, for a game as simple as this, the audio and visuals were incredibly lacking. Spice up the graphics a bit, or add in some funky banana shop tunes.

Ultimately, this feels like the barebones template of a game that COULD be really fun.

xhunterko responds:

I could only do so much with what little time I did have. Thank you for playing though!

[Easter Showdown]

Truly a Michael Bay prodigy.

wolftriplex responds:

I just wish there were more opportunities for explosions XD

[Pandesal Boy]

This is probably my favorite platformer game on NG at the very moment.

'Fo real.

kikill responds:

And this is one of my favorite comments on NG at the very moment! ^_^
Thanks!

[Word Tower]

Very neat.

I love fun with words.

shajby responds:

thank you :)

[Strider Hiryu Soundboard]

Yet another very high quality soundboard. After you finish MVC3, you should really get into Soul Calibur!

JuneLinMilliam responds:

With 40+ request I got on youtube I will be doing all those from TxSF which is Tekken X Street Fighter after I am done with MvC3. Thanks for asking!

[Doctor Doom Soundboard]

What an idiot, speaking in the third person.

Either way, this is once again, a great soundboard!

JuneLinMilliam responds:

Thank you for reviewing! The Deadpool soundboard is done and will be on here in November.
