Thetageist's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Last Flash Game]

Man, I'm going to miss all the content I've seen that runs on Flash. This game was really cute, and provided a nice metaphor for the kind of situation I'm in. I still have not uninstalled Flash, even though I've got such little time left to use it. I'm trying to squeeze out every last bit of value that I can get from Flash, just like how I always clicked "Say something", and I know I'm going to regret forgetting about all of the Flash content that I forgot about while Flash still existed.

[Demystifying the Christmas Tree]

I encountered a glitch in which, when I'd run out of energy, the arm kept perpetually going back and forth across the screen without placing any ornaments, and I didn't get the ending cutscene. The tree is a little bit hard to navigate, but I get that there's really nothing you can do about it, since that's the layout that makes the most sense for a tree. Maybe you can extend the game and add more levels with different layouts that are easier/harder (like the cat's on the mantle above the fireplace and knocking down knick-knacks, or on a bookshelf and knocking down books?) That'd be a fun extension of this concept!

I absolutely love this game, it's adorable and very well done! Great job with everything!

drakeblue responds:

I'll see if I can reproduce that problem and update if I can fix it. I hope it didn't spoil it too much for you.
I made this as a little toy for the holiday period, but the kittens came out well enough that I suspect they may make a return in the future and I doubt they'll stop being naughty.
Thanks for the feedback :)

[QUETZALCOATL - The Aztec Ride]

As an amusement/theme park enthusiast, I just had to give this a try. Dear God, this ride is unsafe, haha! Where the heck are the restraints?! This gives a whole new meaning to "airtime"!

Jokes aside, I completely agree with @FuturecopLGF (I even noticed the same glitch) and @ElCatrinLCD (except my love for the Aztec theme of the game comes from my interest in history and mythology rather than an ethnic connection.) I feel like it's really hard to navigate that one really steep airtime hill towards the end that just automatically yeets all your riders into the air. But that could very well be part of the challenge of the game. Over all, a pretty fun game!

[Geometrica]

I love everything about this game. I just wish I could progress further through it! I struggle a lot with this game at the moment (my reflexes and puzzle solving skills aren't the best). Maybe add checkpoints? I'm going to try to come back to this game a few times and see if I can get around the limitations a bit easier with some practice.

Edited 2/25/22 - have a bigger screen but my brain is getting older

[Blu&Red]

I agree wholeheartedly with everything @FuturecopLGF is saying. However, I see from the description that you're not happy with the game either, so since I don't have any criticism that @FuturecopLGF hasn't already given, I'll dedicate this review to saying what I love about this game, hoping that it'll encourage you to go back to it to fix it. The concept is really great! I also love the little speedrun thing at the top right - that would be great fodder for medals and high score leaderboards in a future version! I know the tile and background assets aren't yours, but you did such a great job with using them and really making the environment look good! This game has a lot going for it overall. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.

[Seeds Of The Universe]

I'm excited to play, but... it's not loading in my browser?

ExoPlanetGames responds:

I'm sorry to hear, what browser are you running? Maybe try using chrome, or refreshing the page a couple of times! - Programming Team - Nic

[Graciel's Guide to Human Love]

I wish this were a little more interactive, and the interface for character choice is a bit small. However, despite these two things, I see that there was a lot of effort put into this, and I love all of that. Nice work!

Supernova-Games responds:

Thanks a ton! This is only a small interactive experience in the universe of Cupid Simulator. We're hoping to launch a bigger game in this setting in a few days. Hope you like it!

[Luminous Edge]

I agree totally with @FuturecopLGF's review. In addition to all the things they said: I love the graphics and the premise with the sentient sword. I do wish you would put more information about how to play (especially with the reset mechanic) into the game itself instead of in the notes. This was a fun experience that got my adrenaline pumping!

Yword responds:

Thank you very much for playing! And thanks a lot for your suggestion, I will try to update it in next version.

[Connected Towers]

This game is amazing! The concept, gameplay, and designs are all really good - I love the voxel style. I also love how the music reminds me of Portal, haha! I will definitely come back to this game.

[Tankmas ADVENTure 2020]

I love this a lot. I love that so many people have come together and created such a perfect little virtual experience. All the little details that show the amount of thought that was put into this just make it so special.

Just one bit, though - after two playthroughs in which I opened all of the presents, I still only have two medals considered unlocked (1st and 5th). I'm using Microsoft Edge. I'll try it in Chrome soon and see how it does.

Merry Tankmas to all!

Edit: That's strange, I guess there's still a glitch in that case, because if that's how the system works, then I got the December 1st medal when I shouldn't have.

EinMeister responds:

I'm glad you like it!
The achievements work as they are intended to do, you can get a specific achievement of a gift only in the day that it gets released in, this means that the December Xth's present achievement can only be obtained on December Xth.
