[DEAD DETENTION #3 (Rescribbled)]

Okay, that's a preety decent episode! Finding out just a little more about teh zombeh project, not as many minimgames, and most of them were odd and confusing. Dragging things around to avoid and catch stuff was unexpected and took me many tries, the second minigame on normal difficulity forces you to hit a ver difficult timing, and for the boss, there's a small litlle mechanic where pressing X, or any pause button, resets the minigame - I think this is in all of em, but here it messes up everything and misclicks cause a beeg penalty, ya should change that somehow.

Also, seems miss CrabApples won't be making it even in zombeh form. Ah well, hell.

JackAstral responds:

Thanks! Really good feedback- I'll look into fixing those things. (Maybe I should change the pause key to the escape key?)

[Boxed Boxes]

Aye preety neat! Not too hard, some levels were wayyy harder than others, like 15 or 23, 27 was a bit dissapointingly easy for the final level but whatever! These kinda games are fun and cool.

Also my sum of best ended up being 13:41

[Face Down]

Wowe, das good! Actually fun and difficult, tho I feel like I won confidentlly it was still fun. Somea the abilities are odd, like swapping cards with your opponent and whatever the "win if you lose this turn" card is, since it also wins when you... win? How do I say this...

Those rule gimicks are also awsome, makes you actually think and remember stuff, especially with em applying to both you and the badguy, tho idk howto call him out if he uses an even left card, since, we talkin' his left or mine? But If the game ever gets like, some big full steam relese, having many more unique rules at once sounds like it could be the coolest thing!

[UNWORTHY]

Okay yeah, that's decent! Messege is supposed to be that you can never be the best at art, and yeah, if you're so good at art that your drawings are indistiguishable from irl photos, then you're just a really slow photographer with no camera.

I kinda figured that you can't win no matter how good your little drawing, since there was no way you'd code a half decent art judging algorythm in the time of a gamejam, so the thing of not being able to get more than 2 stars wasn't too suprising or impactful... I did try tho! I really dn't think it's possible, I drew the best cat in a boot I could and later trid using all ink I possibly could find, nothing worked. But yeah, neat!

[DEAD DETENTION #2 (Rescribbled)]

Okay, preety decent! I think I would do this sorta game a little diffrently, like having minigames be easier but the story changes for the worse when you fail them, and the secrets for the hidden anchivments are kinda random... but it's alright.

Also, I'm wondering about the locked difficulity, is that a thing you'll do later, or am I missing something? I beat the game, and got the secret anchievment... is it for no fails? I'm not doing that.

JackAstral responds:

Thanks! The locked difficulty will unlock after you beat Episode 5. It's a hard mode :) (Save files will carry over episode to episode as long as you don't clear your cache)

[Frogfall]

Eyyep, this is awsome. Some of the gosh darn drops you do, that end in you finishing the level, are frigin amazing! You don't even think about all the gimick by the end of b-sides, you just go, and see what happens! Also, the b-sides are cool, I played basic Skatepark and figured it was okie, but would be cooler if it was harder, and then-! It did become harder! And was hella cool!

Also, I reloaded the page after clearin all b-sides, and all anchievments just... dissapered... not that I didn't get them, they're just ccompleatly gone! Can you, uhh, bring them back in pleaseeeeeeeee
Even weirder, I got the newground EXP for them, even tho they no longer exsist. That's Tom's fault tho.

[Bug Fables The Quest to Find Donuts (Demo)]

Woah awsome! Many games, all cool and good, though you could do a bit more, like having an enemy in battle mode, enemy racers in race mode, a way to speed up in flight mode, half decent charting in song mode... but you've already done a lotta stuff, and it's awsome! Though it is sad the Ms.Chompy minigame isn't available. Most sad indeed.

Flash4lyfe responds:

Thanks for that, right now will work on the AI for the characters, will be hard since i haven't made advanced AI on scratch but will do it, and find a way to make it work, and will manage to make flight mode more intresting, and will add more a decent charting in song mode
but yeah will work on it, along with more.
Thanks for the review, and i hope you have a nice day/night :D

[Eclipse Of Shadows]

What a dissapointment! It's cool you got the base engine of "choosing an option and it does a thing" working, but that isn't really too hard, and your choices don't matter at all, you always just die by Ghost after the same amount of made choices, whas da point!
Ya could maybe add more thingies that happen before Ghost gets you, and have diffrent endings where maybe you survive Ghost somehow...
Unless you're just learning to do coding and this is some test game not meant to actually be played. Then this is fine.

Also, that thumbnail art is cool :3

kai1991 responds:

im making a sequel

[Piñata Poppers]

Aye, preety decent, the hitboxes are certantly something to note, sometimes merging through other piniatas and sometimes not merging at all; the final piniata also is very easy to get to, and it merging other copies of itself without evolving really makes this seem fit for longplay stuff, since you can get rid of piniatas easier sorta. And the point you lose at is really genrous too!

Also, lookie, I have 2nd place in the all time leaderboard! Yipee! :3

[Who's That Pokemeat? (Pokemon Mystery Meat Collab)]

Dooders, this is the coolest art collab ever! All others you see on NG posted as games are just scrolling around, looking at art - this one has a minigame! And if you're not sure, it's easy to just click on the imige, go to the full upload of the drawing you're struggling with, and see the anwser there! Awsome!

And now, I also have about a bilion artists I need to go and follow. Ah heck.

Edit: I just like blood and guts and cutting people grusomely! :3
(also am not a man but thanks anyway)

SullyGuille responds:

Thanks man! we appreciate the positivity! :)
