JamesTDG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Walking Up]

Pretty neat, but it irks me that I can't change gravity mid-air, would allow for some more entertaining puzzles while not making the game as punishing if you screw up a jump.

Night-Kolo responds:

Thank you for the feedback!

[Slots & Chains]

Not Bad

[The Resolution Quest]

Does not seem to load. Tested on Brave with shields down, plus firefox and edge (with adblock turned off).

[Deep Deep Deep Nightmare (Game Jam)]

Plays like BoA, but visually reminds me more of Meat Boy and BattleBlock, pretty good work though!

[The Last Antbender]

Love the concept, hate that the ants are lethal, makes doing platforming not as entertaining.

cu2koo responds:

Thank you very much for the feedback. Yes, you're probably right. It feels contradictory. I'll definitely revise this when I develop something new.
It's great that you played it and also took the time to give feedback. It helps a lot!

[Familiars.io]

It is honestly a very neat monster battler, especially with the 1-bit aesthetic, but this honestly really needs some audio, it is deafeningly quiet. I do want to give props for resolving the zubat problem that caves have, absolutely HATED burning through repels to get through those in EVERY generation.

Other than that, some additional changes I'd want added are:
- A way to recover HP passively
Potions are rare, and some enemies hit extremely hard. HOWEVER, I want to deviate from Pokemon and request that it cannot be easily abused. For example, make it take 30 mins irl to fully heal a familiar in the resort may be a good way to balance it.
- Automatically send caught monsters to the resort if the party is full
- Let us pet our familiars!
- Add a settings pane to the menu

[Dream Punk]

Definitely holds plenty of potential, but severely lacks any sort of proper tutorial for me to understand what I am supposed to be doing.

[Warthogz]

Would be cool to play, if there were anyone online... Please consider updating this to support bots so I can at least try it out!

[Wishlist]

I like the concept behind how these roguelike mechanics work.

[Madness Hydraulic]

Definitely gets repetitive after round 30
