TheyBopsky's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cold]

Okay, this game is mislabeled. This ain't an idle game, it's a puzzle game. A puzzle, on what the HELL just happend. Becouse nothing happend.

Just 5 clicks a second for 10 minutes stragitht is enough to keep the man alive, any more than that lets you do so comfortably, and that isn't a hard number of clicks to anchieve. And while you're keeping the man alive, nothing else is happening. Yer just clickin'. There's the sound of the snowstorm, your clicks if you want to, and the day/night cycle gif in the BG. Nothing else happens, or changes. This is like, a bad game. The ending isn't satysfying, and the gameplay not fun at all. Repetitive and shallow.

But then the puzzle comes in, because this is on NG, the site where games where nothing happens and you're just wasting the player's time can get really easily blammed. And yet this one didn't. Then, it got on the best daily posts thing. 3rd place out of 5. This beat out Super Turbo Power Punch Maxed, which is an awsome series, by 2 places on the podium. That decision was made by people who are like, super qualified to make these sortsa decisions (at least I think that's right), clearly Squire Thomas Fulpous saw something about this game. So much so that it got fugin frontpaged a day later. Super Turbo Power Punch Maxed didn't. An animation that was rated above this game in the daily ranking, also didn't. But this... thing... did.

That's like, the one thing you think about while playing. One of the 2. Eighter you're wondering what the hell this is and how it made it past all those quality checks, or are curious if something's gonna jumpscare you. Never does. Timer ends, storm ends, thas it. There is no more to the game, at all, ever. No difficulity increse, no alt mode, skin, no diffrent endings... right?

Like, maybe there IS some big secret that reveals an awsome massive thing. Maybe if I turn the volume up high enough and type G-O-O-S-E on my keyboard, I'll hear a wendigo whisper some input combo that unlocks a secret. Maybe if I play again a few times, I'll unlock Luigi. Maybe you're pulling a fnaf pizzaria simulator style fakeout, and I just missed it, along with every last person in this 4 page comment section, while everyone who didn't comment did actually find it and had fun, and this is just some statistical clusterfuck.
Regardless, I want anwsers, because this all doesn't add up. Please?

[Get in Santa's Pants 3: Knickerless for St. Nicholas]

You know, I haven't actaully played a second of this game, and I don't feel like playing a horny game right now, but I seriously just read the title and assumed it meant "get in Santa's pants" as in, become Sansa, run his workshop, walk a mile in Snata's shoes. Absoultely did not consider any lewd meaning until I saw the starting warning.

I feel that it's very important for you to know this.
Very important, see.

[Paper U.F.O.]

Ah, a moment! I have bugs to report!
10-2 has a stupidly short timer. Not sure if it's a bug, but it seems so strict compared to all other levels in the game
5-3, on the other hand, doesn't have a timer. It's running in the background as I write this, it's been running for a minute straight, and the clock hasn't moved. *scrolls up* Nope, still not movin'.
Descruption: The controls section of the description you wrote, not in the game but on NG, deosn't tell you you can beammeup with left click. Would be nice to know, since the after-level menu requires the mouse, so playing with it as well seems like a nice option to be aware of. You can also move with the arrow keys, but that seems preety obvious. And e and esc for pausing, that's not mentioned at all. Damn.

And also, should probably say, this is a sick game despite these few things. Fast which I like, and not very difficult, you get each level after a few tries.

And also also, I made a level! Hard one I think.

[SpellWheel]

Oh that's fun. Thaaaaaaat's fun. Mate, how much ya planin' ta make this thing cost? If it's not too much, I might just buy it!
Like really, nothing to complain about here! Demo wasn't short, game was fun, nothing bugged out, all art looks good, music sounds nice... actually one thing, the keyboard controls are reversed by default with no way to change them. A and Q rotate right, D and E rotate left. Preety bad if ya need to quickly block an attack and go the wrong way... but mouse controls are more than good enough, even on laptops. So yeah sick!

adayofjoy responds:

A bit weird that the AQ/DE controls are inversed for you by default, should be AQ counter-clockwise, DE clockwise. But I'll prioritize keyboard rebindings in a future update!
I'm planning $5 with a launch discount for the game.

[Vox Regis]

I feel like, as the others said, this game would not be fun if ya weren't going for minimum score. You would just be pressing random buttons for some time with no stakes. But this, minimal speeches approach, is really fun, and kinda scary! Balancing on the edge of death and keeping an eye out on the data to strike the apropriate faction when they reach a number so close to max...

By the way, 8 speeches.

[Hive Blight]

Eyyup, that's going on my wishlist for sure! Fuckin fun and awsome! Somehow, despite being preety simple it was super fun, I did die a few times, but won first try anyway.
Not sure what to say, just, that was really really good and fun, and I would definitly play a version with more playtime, gear, enemies, bugs and all that stuff! Yeah!

[TAMAGARASHI 1.1]

I... wha? What's going on? The descruption just says " play as a maniac, take care of your captured"... That's nice, but not too helpful.

There's some table I can lay items down on, which does nothing, there's something about fixing some shelf??? and you can click on a random unmarked wall to get to The Captured, feed them stuff to mess with their health and hunger values, items can be found on the ground and 2 are randomly given and taken each day... oike, sick, but what do I do with this? Keep The Captured alive for a time? That's easy and boring. Kill em? Also easy, and not too interesting. Those are 2 endings, simple easy boring ones, and then... what else is there to like, do?

I already mentioned the bookshelf thing, I have nails but no hammer, and what the hell would fixing that even do anyway? I don't like to ask for help with how to win, but this time I'm confused on how to PLAY. Like, at all. Wha?

And apperantly in my fumble tumbles, I got the good ending that everyone's been confused about? I've just been tryna get instructions or like, anything, from the one guy I physically can, and apperantly we're chill now? Imma go play somethin else, maybe I can come back once you've explained what I'm missing.
Please?

[Brick Boiz]

Oh yeah sick and preety neat, took me a minute to figure the controls out and figure out I wasn't trying to make a neat lookin clean board here, but after a bit of fidjingling around it was fun! Though you should add a small descruption of what the hell is going on somewhere, main menu or the game's description.

Also, if ya plan to develop this game further, I have to say be careful. It's similar to tetris and feels similar to play, which is awsome becouse tetris is cool, but the horror stories of Alexey Pajitnov seeing tetraminos everywhere irl and playing the game for many hours into the night, every night, before adding a limiter in the form of ever increasing drop speed, are very much all true, and a warning to heed with these kindsa projects.

[Color Maze]

Preety sick I would say, dunno why but I feel the need to find the fastest route through every level. Also, as that one fella with the awfully similar pfp in the comments said, LV11 doesn't seem to be beatable, and going back to the main menu by reloading the tab doesn't let me get into LV12 eighter, so I cannot finsih QwQ

Also mate, PLEASE upload that soundtrack seperatly, it's so awsome!

Pitigamedev responds:

Thank you for your comment and feedback! Sorry! There was a bug in level 11 that I'm fixing right now!
