Listen2Reason's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moon Waltz]

I dunno, the graphics and everything are good, but it seems kinda pointless? The only time I had to press the spacebar was the two guys who were going to kill my character for no reason. The rest of the time I just sat and watched.

molkman responds:

It's rather experimental.

[Seven Jumps]

I keep pressing up arrow to start but the guy just hits his head or something. Too bad, I was kinda looking forward to playing this.

ax23w4 responds:

You lost! Lol

[Steel Novella 2083]

I think you nailed the atmosphere pretty well. The gameplay was, eh, okay. Personally I'd like to see a longer game, maybe a hub level (or password system!), one or two gameplay gimmicks...

LIDgames responds:

The response to SN2083 so far has been overwhelming; I'm definitely looking to take this style + the feedback I'm getting here on NG to create a more fleshed out NES-like game.

[Henry Jenkins VS Zombies]

Kinda slow-paced. If you hold down the button, it doesn't shoot repeatedly...I mean, maybe that's not a BUG, but it's not how you'd expect things to work if you've played a lot of other games like this. It's annoying that you only have one 'health'. In fact, it might even be impossible to finish the first level, but I didn't care enough to try very hard.

Also...Why Henry Jenkins? Are you upset that he left MIT or something?

thrgriffin responds:

Hi, thank you for your review. I thought that having a reload time between shots would add difficulty but the consensus so far seems to be that it's just annoying! A health bar would have been a very good idea in retrospect!

This was part of a university module on new media (I study film, hence why this isn't a much better game). For the module we had to study a lot of Henry Jenkins and I thought this would be a fun take on the assignment. I have a lot of love for HJ though.

[On The Run]

How am I supposed to play without instructions?

secondstamp responds:

Do you even Mario?

[Barbarium]

Pretty fun, reminded me a lot of old games like Rygar and Rastan.

Hypnohustler responds:

Thanks! :)

[Survive Or Die]

Doesn't work. Keys don't do anything.

androidmt319 responds:

Movement seems to only work if you do not click outside the game.

[Rainbogeddon]

It's a pretty good idea and seems well executed, but only ONE hit and you have to start ALL over? That just makes it frustrating.

Nitrome responds:

Pick up any power up and it acts as a second hit

[Iromeku]

First of all, why did you make it colors and not numbers? I have to keep flipping back and forth to see which numbers they are. Not to mention that it took me several minutes to figure out HOW the numbers changed each other. And secondly, it's not a very intuitive type of puzzle. You really just go on and on trying different combinations until you hit upon the right one.

josh-tamugaia responds:

Numbers = math = unpopular.
You don't have to use the guide to solve the puzzle... I think I should have deleted the damn guide.
Yes, you go on trying combinations, but the unique part is how you try the combinations. If you randomly drag the squares, you'd be quite frustrated. If you narrow down and try to match the tiles one by one, the game would be more enjoyable. There are even some occasions during my own testing when I stumbled upon combinations different from the original solution that could solve the puzzle.

But then again, I do realize that the game is not for everyone. Hence the Warning that I put in the description.

Nonetheless, I thank you for your valuable input.

[Fractured]

I was looking forward to playing this, too bad there's nothing telling me the controls.

GroZZleR responds:

You should try experimenting instead of expecting everything spoon fed to you. It's fun to learn.
