FutureCopLGF's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Swordface]

Really trippy and wacky game with a great concept built around it. Had a lot of fun wrestling the controls to slash aliens all over the planet. It's got a great presentation all-around which really shows the confidence in the design. Would love to see more like this, and could be polished a little further to really make it awesome (like more feedback on slashes, for example)

Fishlicka responds:

Thank you very much!

I agree, I could add in some particles or better audio. A swoosh sound maybe. I had to adjust the knockback down because it wasn't fun chasing down the monsters that you sent flying.

[DroworD]

The initial tutorial was a bit confusing as it went by so fast. I was really lost, especially since I was unable to do the tutorial again! Once I did get into the game and figure it out, however, I had a lot of fun! Could use a little work on the onboarding process, as said before, could use some more juice (like make the word completions pop more and the transitions smoother), and make it more prevalent what column you have selected (yellow isn't bright enough, easy to lose track of current column when it gets fast).

HealliesGames responds:

A pop animation could be interesting! Even a custom column colour.
Actually I'm experimenting with other projects, but I'm going to update this.
Thanks for your feedback, FuturecopLGF!

[Overlord's New Mansion]

Had a lotta fun with this game! Loved the characters and the humor you had going; made every death very fun instead of frustrating. Platforming felt pretty solid as well, and it was a decent challenge.

saantonandre responds:

Thanks, I enjoyed your gameplay/critique too, you did really good at my game! :)

[The Origins of Tuuli: To Be Masked]

I want mooooore! Very promising demo that was over too short. Had cute characters that I got attached to and some solid, if basic, platforming. Looking forward to more.

Theihe responds:

Yeah I just saw on twitter!

You're right about it being a demo, I don't know how we overlooked such a simple thing, I think it got lost when we were rewriting the text to hit the deadline, to say that we've been too busy to notice is a bit embarrassing haha! I've edited the description vuv

We sat down and watched the video together and had a blast!
Thank you for your kind words!

"And it's not blue... *chuckle*" was my favorite part ;)

[Flow Runner]

Pretty fun to play; cool graphics and charming characters that make you want to get farther and farther. A bit frustrating though: the enemies don't act in ways you can react to a lot of the time, and the stamina system can screw you over when it really doesn't even need to be in the game (at least from my impression).

Amni3D responds:

The enemies come down to design oversights in my part.
I think the stamina comes down to tying too much to it. If you want to glide, you have to eat stamina to dash first. If you want to double jump, you have to eat stamina, even so. I don't think the idea is inherently bad here, but too bound to it. Like, could the game play better if double jump was independent of stamina? Or if dashing had a smaller up front cost? Or what if the gliding was completely independent of dashing even if they both use stamina? I feel the abilities should be rethought if I ever touch the idea again (which I do want to, eventually).

[Super Smash Newcomers Collab]

A cute little gallery to go through, but a bit frustrating: you can't see the character you're pointing at when you're pointing at them due to the opaque pop-up with the artist avatar in it covering it, and there were tons of times I was trying to hover over a character but it kept thinking I was hovering over someone else.

Also, there were some inaccuracies here and there, like Hollow Knight from Shovel Knight?

Mabelma responds:

Thanks for your feedback 🙏

[Yanet in Yonderland]

Cute little game; the art and aesthetics really elevate it. The actual platforming and throwing mechanics are a little clunky at times, but the puzzles were really solid and fun to solve.

OurLittleStudio responds:

Thank you!

[Sticker Tycoon]

Wow, that's a blast from the past right there. Little bit of a frustrating start due to it being very slow and confusing, but it seems like a decent enough management sim that harkens back to ye olde newgrounde dayes.

Yomuchan responds:

Thats what I was going for, thanks. It was a pretty learning experience.

[Enter the Dungeon]

Not too shabby; I think it's a good engine that you've put together and I'd like to see more from it. As it is right now, it's a little too bare to stand as a game by itself; needs more unique rooms, cool abilities and challenging enemies, among other things. Some things I do like are the little hover-over tooltips for your items and abilities; that type of element is usually ignored in these games for more fun things. Nice to see arrows embed in the environment as well; a nice little touch.

paulfromsmite responds:

Thanks I 100% agree, and I'm working on adding that stuff.
Thanks for the reply!

[CRUSH]

Always glad to see another twin-stick shooter, especially when it's taking after something as action-packed as SMASH TV. This seems promising but does have some parts to it that could use some polishing as right now it's a little clunky in general.

The HUD and text elements can be a bit buggy and misplaced, and the colors work against itself and makes things less readable since it's all so bright. Some of the items are a bit confusing and there's no way to tell what you picked up (for example, why is a shotgun not a shotgun but just a burst powerup?) Death is way too fast both in dying and reviving, leading to confusion (especially considering the previous feedback about color, which makes you lose your character easily). Dodge roll seems to be only for positioning, when a lot of games it is used for invincible frames to go through an attack; for this, it might be something to consider implementing.

Looking forward to see more from this; with a big more polish, new enemies and such, it could really go places, I think.

saltandpixel responds:

Thanks for the feedback - other than the ammo counter, What are the other HUD elements that are misplaced or buggy? Are you talking about the text that appears over the orb and teleporter?

I had the dodge make you invincible, but I changed it. It makes escaping way too easy and almost feels like cheating; you can roll through a line of enemies - I'd rather have the player be considerate of their position in the arena. If the map was bigger and had more enemies it would feel better (like in Telsa vs Lovecraft), but this is all about claustrophobia.
