GeoKureli's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[HEL VS HELL | DEMO]

My first thought was how irritatingly slow and floaty the physics are, but I finished it, and I had fun. it's nothing amazing but I dig the simple rounded square pixel art. fix the physics and add more content, and let me know where to play it.

Cyoses responds:

I'm really glad you liked the art style! As for more content, that will absolutely be a part of the final game. I'll do my best to improve the physics (Sorry about that, I've always had some trouble in that area.) And you will be able to play the final version right here on newgrounds! Not to self promote too much but if you want to play the final version the best way to not miss it would be to follow this link:

(FYI: most of my games will probably feature a similar art style so positive feedback there is awesome!)

Thanks ~ Cyoses

[Oh! I'm Getting Taller!]

Arrow Keys and mouse... one of the worse design decisions I've ever seen. how did you playtest this and not say "wow this is very awkward"?

elfgamesworks responds:

Mouse is optional, You can ignore it. The correct keys to use are:
* Arrows: movement
* X: Talk/dialogues
* Z: Pick items

I'll probably disable mouse mapping in the future release, since it makes a lot of confusion on players, and make a small tutorial ;) Thank you for playing!

too easy, I got bored before i saw any kind of difficulty curve

TedsTerribleGames responds:

What difficulty curve? :P
What you saw is the whole "game". I know the gamplay sucks, but I'm still pretty happy with it. :)

[ChronoBox Demo]

A decent puzzle game with some good level design. the controls are a little clunky though and the whole process feels too time consuming. I'd work on the mechanics a little. make the push animation shorter and work on the movement drag/acceleration/speed.

Insectscorch responds:

Thanks for the feedback. Did you have any performance issues?

[Climber Guy]

I hate this game so much. Worst controls I ever seen. the game does not reward skill, but rather luck and perseverance, I'm convinced the last level is only possible when a strength+ falls. also. No one in there right mind would think to collect weights, instead they will likely avoid them.

blit-blat responds:

Oh come, come now. The worst controls ever? Less hyperbole please! ;)

And I've managed to complete the game without strength+ (max strength and health and just go for it!), but I kinda agree maybe the design of the power could be improved upon.

[Turnland]

Cool concept, but horrible execution. The movement is clunky, I don't understand why i need to slide so much. The collision is weird, and really awkward on the final level were I have to jump up the set of stairs (Which is never fun, I suggest ramps).

The interaction with the lasers is confusing, on the first frame of the first level, when i moved the character towards the map viewer, I jumped over 10 or so pixels, and it looked like a glitch. I later found out this is because i touched the laser to the right, and it just looks unpolished. Did I die or just move back over?

The end zone is weird, why not just use a door or something. Use different graphics for the edge lasers than the laser gate that blocks the end zone, they serve different purposes and should reflect that graphically.

I don't understand why the door opens when I touch the nearby map viewer, the door should always be open as long as I've collected the key, which by the way is not properly explained or intuitive.

There is a level where there is a long shaft that leads to the panel beneath me. If there is nothing beneath me I hit the laser and bounce back up. This makes no sense. I suggest changing these lasers to solid platforms that I can walk across, and instead of putting them at the bottom of the screen, put them at the top of the shaft so they are flush with the ground.

gurigraphics responds:

They complain that was slow. Now it's fast. But is sliding too much?
I'll take more than a century to I can please everybody.
But It is easy to solve. Only increase the friction.

(...) Which is never fun, I suggest ramps (...)

It is a solution. Because I can not change the height of the jump.

(...) I later found out this is because i touched the laser to the right, and it just looks unpolished. Did I die or just move back over?(...)

This first step of learning I must improve. Write a trilogy of explanations about the reason for everything.

(...)The end zone is weird, why not just use a door or something. (...)

Because it is very common. Even if they do not like, because they are not accustomed, at least it's different.

(...)Use different graphics for the edge lasers than the laser gate that blocks the end zone, they serve different purposes and should reflect that graphically.(...)

They only block the passage. What changes is just what's on the other side. I do not see why change it. It's a lot of work for little difference.

(...)I don't understand why the door opens when I touch the nearby map viewer (...)

This has also to do with learning. But I do not know if people even want this kind of information, or is it just a gap they found to speak ill.

(...)There is a level where there is a long shaft that leads to the panel beneath me. If there is nothing beneath me I hit the laser and bounce back up. This makes no sense. (...)

It is magnetism of a fantasy world. It is not reality. Nor need make sense. Flying platforms never had sense. Turtles with coins inside also not.

[Hello! Lovebirds]

too slow paced, and over complicated to be any fun. During dev time, Threes originally had similar rules but they were taken out because simpler was better.

Keep refining it. speed it the hell up, too!

OrangeSheepGames responds:

Hi GeoKureli,

Thank you for the comment. May I know where does the slow paced feeling come from? I'll try to figure some ideas soon.

[Pongoal Blitz]

This is great game that puts a nice spin on the classic pong.

B6ka responds:

Thank you. Yes, pong is kind of where I started.

[Picture Frame]

Hi, I do make games, professionally, and ItsThatOneGuy is completely right, this is a really bad platformer with a sorry attempt to be artistic. I'm assuming you added this love story that was written by a 3rd grader in a way to hide how truly bad your game is. and then you try to feel superior to him instead of taking constructive criticism. I award you no stars, fix your game and your attitude.

LukeElchul responds:

Hey dude I made this in 4 hours get a grip

Games not working

larrynachos responds:

how so? could you give a detailed description instead of just saying "games not working"? I would be happy to fix the problem.
