FutureCopLGF's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Knightin'+ Demo]

Really solid game here! Cuts right to the chase instead of dealing with boring story, and all of the elements (sound, music, graphics, gameplay, etc) seem to be good all-around. Was very impressed at the inventive puzzles that the game has; had some great 'eureka' moments with them, and it really sets it apart from what could just be a typical zelda-clone. Could maybe use a little more pizzaz for the combat, but I'm hopeful enough that it does build up as you get powers and new enemies in the other dungeons.

Thank you for the kind words! I hope so too :D

Really cool concept and presentation here with the whole horror element. Game has lots of nice touches like blood, bone gibs, and the screams of the villagers in text bubbles. But while those elements should give a cool feel of empowerment, the game makes you feel like a real wimp: taking damage is headache-inducing as you get barraged by red flashes, blurry, shaky screens and loud noises. Furthermore, you can get stuck on level geometry, and the difference between eating and stomping can be really annoying to deal with as it's difficult to tell when you're doing which (and it sucks to stomp something you were trying to eat). Definitely a little bit too frustrating for what should be an archdemon; a little re-balancing could help greatly.

[Newgrounds in 2019]

It's nice to have the information and such to promote Newgrounds and educate people, so I applaud the noble intentions. But at the moment, I think the presentation needs some work, as right now, it's nothing more than a wall of text, essentially (and painfully small text, at that, which is difficult for me to read). Given that you've made a whole game around it, I'd expect the presentation to be more dynamic than a powerpoint: I'd love it to have less text and more images and interactions to really learn the information in a fun way!

Little-Rena responds:

I need more ideas on what to make interactive.

[Gravity Control]

It's got some great puzzle elements and designs in there, but it's been held back greatly by the buggy nature in which the main mechanic, gravity, operates. The player and the moveable boxes would move in very unnatural and buggy ways for me: sometimes they would slip and slide around, sometimes they would stop on a dime, sometimes they glitch out and pop up for no reason, sometimes they'd move in a different direction than prompted. I think if this could be ironed out, it'd be a real nice game, but as of right now, it's too buggy for me. Also, the lazer timers being hidden by the walls they are attached to is a bit frustrating for feedback.

[Air Flip Drive (WIP)]

Not too shabby! It's certainly a little buggy and raw (it is a WIP), but I think it's got a good core as it is fun and cool to traverse the track; certainly a lot farther along than I would expect from a WIP compared to others. With a little more polish and juice, especially in the sound-effect department to help with feedback, I think you could make a really great racer here.

[everything else]

Really cool game with some interesting presentation and mechanics. The focus on movement over aiming, which was relegated to an automatic 'field-of-fire' was an interesting idea for a fast-paced game, but I feel like it went a bit too fast at times for the game to work properly. Really rode the line between challenge and frustration. The auto-aiming toggle was a bit unintuitive, but you get used to it eventually. It felt like dodging enemy fire, especially spread-shot enemies was just down to luck at times since there's not a good way to react to them. Confirming enemy kills was difficult and haphazard given the speed of gameplay not allowing enough time for feedback, especially considering they need multiple shots to down, not just one, and it's difficult to tell which and how many times you actually shoot them since it's automatic. Basically a really cool idea and slick presentation, but the design is fighting itself at times instead of synergizing, I think. Fast games are difficult to do though and I admire this attempt.

Also the black screens where you are unprompted were a bit confusing to get through at times.

[Helicopter Shooter]

Pretty bog-standard game that doesn't have much special elements to it, but the core is there and functional that you can build from with better hitboxes, feedback, and progression. Some polish and juice can make this thing shine.

[Pucamuc]

Gotta lotta polish and heart in this fun, quirky little platformer packed with oddles of secrets and surprises! Graphics, sound, music, presentation and weirdness are top-notch. My only beef is with the purple bouncy pads: they are way too jank and glitchy to deal with compared to everything else.

I beat it on hard mode and I am now free from steve jonks

[A Bunny+Spider Platformer - Soul Exchange]

I want more from this! Had some really novel mechanics with the movement between the two transformations that I'd love to see go through even more challenges. Few complaints would be 1) the 'spike plants' don't really stand-out and you can end up forgetting they are deadly 2) the story was a bit confusing and not fleshed-out 3) and, of course, that it ends too soon when it was getting good, haha!

[Space Guardian two]

Cool little arcade game! Kinda standard, but I still had fun exploding tons of enemies/bosses and watching all of the effects go crazy. Only complaints I had were 1) bosses were really feast-or-famine; you either destroyed them completely with power-ups or you get annihilated without power-ups, 2) some mechanics aren't explained too great, like the healing squares and level progression, and 3) the noise/vibrations just get way too intense at times; consider applying vibrations to only special instances.
