BigBossErndog's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wrong Turn]

Veyr simple rogue-like-ish game! Only suggestion would be that pacing can be a bit sluggish, would have rather than the enemies make their move simultaneously with your move as most roguelikes do. But some very nice polish!

It seems to be the general consensus that I should've streamlined the turns by having simultaneous actions from the player and enemies. If I re-release the game that will definitely be one of the first features I add.

Thank you for playing, and the constructive criticism!

[Valdi: Shadows]

Very nice! A very nice puzzle game centered around some very simple mechanics, would love to see more levels that introduced more mechanics in a future version!

[Super Combat Squadron Demo]

Very nice pixel art, and seems to work well. Took me a very long time to grasp how to play the game. Perhaps it might need a tutorial rather than throwing all the controls at the player in one screen. Also I only discovered that screen by accident, I wouldn't have known all the controls if I hadn't randomly started clicking everywhere until I hit the player portrait.

Other than that, I would be very impressed. Hopefully the final game has a bit more hand holding (at least at the start) to ease the player into the game.

[Metro Cop]

Nice and simple arcade shooter, you got the look spot on, it got me quite nostalgic for old times at the arcade as a kid.
It's not exactly challenging, and does get repetitive after a bit however.

[Pit trails]

Nice and simple little puzzle game, I like the simplicity of this series of puzzle games you're doing. It's like checking in with a magazine to try out the latest crossword.

[Flipped!!]

I like the visuals, the moving background, the quirky dialogue. But lol, I really don't know how to play, not really sure what I'm doing with all these different menu options.

Great game over screen.

[ThePowerOfWhat]

Nice little puzzle platformer that plays with lots of common platformer mechanics.

Would have loved to discuss some of the mechanics, but it would be spoilers considering the game is all about its hidden mechanics. Just gonna say, pay very close attention the level title at the top and it can mean it quite literally.

[RAKUGA FANTASY]

Very cool and retro. I like the little things like how it say "It's too late to go back" if you interact with the door from which you came. The first encounter made me jump lol, very punchy intro sfx. The music is great!
Not sure if I'm just not understanding it, but are all the items in chests just jokes? lol
I love the WarioWare style minigames, definitely adds some nice variety in gameplay to the turn based battle system.
The game is very difficult, which I'm sure you were going for. I was playing in Cool mode tho, maybe I'm one for Lame, lmao. Although I do think the two tone green color palette contributed a lot to the difficulty, the text isn't the easiest to read and the sprite not immediately distinguishable because of it, which is what I would consider a flaw of using this old school gameboy color palette.

Overall great game, would love to see this upgraded to gameboy color lol.

[Tale of the Bagger: A Love Story]

A good surprising amount of depth! Good job!
