RegretfulExpert's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[PRIOR]

Innovative.

I have never seen a game like this, not to this level. it was very "Portal"esque, with the ignorance. i just followed the puzzles, which were not to difficult, but required some thought. the game was fantastic, indescribably, and the ending was even better. if i don't see a sequel, i will probably smash my computer Lol, i'm flabbergasted by the sheer genius of this game.

[ShootThat]

Honestly,

its kind of boring. i've played games like this before, and you could have done better.
sound: where is it?
1/10, because you (probably) tried

[Toy Titan]

Epic.

LOL i love this style, you get 9/10 for that.
you get the extra +1 point for the ending.
"You have tiger blood in you"
Made my laugh.

10/10

[The Squirrel Game]

Ahaha...

Very fun. but i get the feeling that it would get annoying if i continued to play, so the replay value is sorta dead. Lol, but overall:
good animation, 10/10
easy controls, 10/10
funny concept, 10/10
replay value, 5/10

overall: 9/10, 5/5 pictogram.

[Transcend]

definitely not made for me.

i gave you a 2/5 pictogram, and a 7/10.
personally, this "doesn't appeal" to me, but i see what you're trying to do. i would've enjoyed it better with keyboard controls, because the click style is tedious. overall, good job

DeLeonGames responds:

Thanks for the constructive suggestion! I actually went so far toward keyboard implementation as to detect the holding/release of the various keys, though I eventually weighed against connecting them to character movement for two reasons:

1- This is a port of an app I originally made for iPad and iPhone touch screens. It was designed with locational input in mind, and I worried whether platformer directional controls might trivialize the few jump puzzles.

2- I like that clicking the right side of each screen to advance feels a bit conceptually like turning the page in a (the!) book. I may be overplaying the importance of this aspect in my imagination, but I was on the lookout throughout development to keep it connected to its textual (as opposed to experiential) basis, the text itself being a known deviation/exaggeration of Thoreau's true experiences.

Thank you especially for not being harsh about audience mismatch. I struggle to find the right places to put the sort of things I make, since they're generally not games, yet they fit easiest and find the largest audiences within virtual spaces for hosting games. (Newgrounds seems a better community fit by far compared to Kongregate. For this particular project, at least.)

[Avalanche Escape]

Fun!

well i spent a few minutes trying to get past the 200ft mark, but i failed lol. it's a great game, and my only problem is the slippery movement, makes it hard to climb. you get a 9/10, for a near perfect game.

[Super PSTW Action RPG]

A Game for the Eons!

This game is phenomenal, it brought me to tears! The engaging plot, sophisticated controls, and the intense game play just resonated with my VERY SOUL! I pity all those who do not get the chance to play "Super PSTW Action RPG" as they are missing out on something... of amazing proportions...
Bravo, good sir, BRAVO.
