TheReviewTrickster's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Destination Cube]

The game perspective is messed up and it's hard to tell if there even is space in some places. The controls are also very slippery and often lead to your death. It's almost as minimalist as the other game you submitted, because there isn't any detail or depth of gameplay. It's also impossible to complete, since on level 2 you can't get the cube at all. Also, it's not a platformer.

Thanks for the feedback. I am a 13 year old beginner, this is the first game I made.

[The Sagittarian]

The music gets quite repetitive but otherwise, the game is pretty good. The art is good (obviously, it's hyptosis), but I just didn't find the game that interesting. The events have little emotional leverage, as we don't know the characters. Overall, an OK game I couldn't really get into. I know constructive criticism is pointless since this is an old game and there are countless sequels that probably fix some things, but if you ever read this, my advice is spend more time with the characters and make the game longer and have the music be more fitting.

[Paper World Alpha.]

It definitely has potential. The music is surprisingly nice. You're gonna want to add more enemies. The character's jump should also be significantly more powerful as you cannot get past gaps without double-jumping. It could also use more colors and detail as the blinding whiteness gets annoying. You can have a hand-drawn pencil style and still have color. The rhino-turtle...thing should also take less hits to kill as it's not difficult and just comes off as tedious. I also hope the full version has some kind of story. I also found a glitch where i jumped into the rhino-turtle and it just kept spinning around me. Actually, I didn't even have to jump into it, it happened while I was looking away. Also, if you attack while jumping you can delay your fall for a while. I don't think you should take that out completely, a jump-attack can be useful, but put some sort of limit on it. I think those are all the things that need improvement, and, like I said, I think this has a lot of potential. Keep it up!!

Thanks for the comment:)

[The Lost Signal SCP v 0.30]

An OK SCP fangame, even though it tries to get rid of the SCP branding in-game. It lags a lot for me, but I'm probably just playing on a bad computer. The gameplay is not very good or interesting. It messes up the coffin lore, as well. The graphics are above average for a browser game, too.

[Alice is Dead - Ep 3]

I like the series. It's awesome! However, this game is just....unsatisfying. The plot moves away from what made the series charming in the first place. No more creepy yet jolly 1930's-esque music, it's set in a city, taking the whimsical element out of it. The other games had a feeling of wonder. That's what makes Alice in Wonderland so good for a dark reimagining. It's all about the whimsical, outlandish brand of madness that makes it possible to see how this could be a twisted, dark world if it was only a bit different. Mary Ann gets introduced... only to have no other purpose than to give you the gun at the end. In the second game, it's sorta indicated that the Queen runs a sort of dictatorship. Here, the Queen leads an assassin ring, again taking the whimsy out of it. It also makes no logical sense 'cause if the queen really does control the police, Mary Ann wouldn't need to escape from the jail like the journal says. The reason the Rabbit and the Hatter are captured because the Queen wants to get rid of them. The lag is also super annoying. The art in the ending also seemed a bit subpar and the ending twist seems very rushed and I had to check the wiki to find out what happened. There were also no clues that:

SPOILER ALERT

Alice could possibly be alive. The Cheshire Cat also kinda goes nowhere. I like her backstory but... it just seems pointless. Overall, very unsatisfying. I hope that, if it ever comes out, the 4th one will wrap things up better. Still can't give this less than 3 stars, though.

[roasted duck]

The controls are pretty solid, and the graphics are okay. The music is kinda nice, too. But the making people wait for more lives thing is insanely obnoxious. Perhaps in your next games, you could put a little bit more effort into the level design or add some cool and interesting mechanics. AND REMOVE THE WAITING THING!!!!!!!!!

treeorange responds:

thanks for comment
the waiting thing has been removed forever
thanks for playing

[a very boring runner]

Like you said, it's boring. It's got no cool mechanics is good, but it's nothing special. There's also no music. Maybe for your next game put some more time and effort into it.

alex101lmao responds:

thanks for the feedback, i recently got into game developing, will do

[Swarm Queen]

A pretty difficult rts. The artstyle is good, and the gameplay is good too. It has a nice sense of humour as well. I've only beaten three levels so far and hard mode is too hard for me, but I can tell that it's a good game.

P.S. The music is pretty good too.

Flyborg responds:

First review. <3

[A Platformer for Ants]

It's a cool game with an interesting concept, nice graphics and good controls and gameplay. The music was also good. Of course, it was made for the Ludum Dare, so it's small. If you make a bigger game someday, I think it would be great. Keep up and please do try to make a bigger game, 'cause you obviously have heaps of talent.

[Hammurabi]

Pretty great, the art is awesome and the gameplay is challenging, but in a good way. It's very well written. I don't feel like using my mind-brain too much right now, so I'll have to finish this later. The music was also good.
