applessmillion's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[1928 Author Clicker Tycoon]

A very interesting concept for a clicker/incremental game, just not a big fan of how slow it is and how upgrades/progression isn't too well explained from the start (I can see the medals but am a bit afraid to ask how many books it'll take for that one achievement + am not sure how selling books for $7 in the beginning translates to legislation). I made it about 4-5 books in before writing this and am not too sure how the ghostwriter is helping me.
My other main criticism is the lack of immersion or 'pazazz'. While the text is written it would be cool to hear a typewriter or pen writing on paper for example. Maybe after a book is completed a 'thud' or closing of a book sound is played. Beyond sound improvements to the visuals would be cool. I see this is a game jam submission so understand there's a time crunch but wanted to offer some suggestions and things i think may make this a bit better.

Thanks for the feedback!

[Side to Side]

Simple, not too difficult (the difficulty increase with score is nice), and easy to play. Makes for a good casual game. I like the look, theme. and color contrast you have going on, makes the game pretty unique for what's ultimately moving from left to right to collect objects.

[Fire Boy]

very well done, for only 3 chapters it's pretty long and had very well made levels. Only thing I can think to mention is some of the obstacles/smashers were difficult to see between the dark grey/black on the later levels (may be a monitor thing on my end)

[Storbi]

nice, simple, and an easy way to pass time

[Face Down]

This game seems very well made. Very simple premise and gameplay (which is really luck based which can be.. meh) but wow I really enjoy the dealer and visual presentation here.

[Lucky Cats For Everything]

I may be missing something, but beyond clicking the themes to change the animated lucky cat, are there any other features? As per your description, what's the motivation/idea behind the gadget (I checked the website but didn't see anything for this specific thing)?

DSHenry responds:

There aren't any other features. There isn't really a specific motivation for making this, I was just messing around with an emulator an decided to make stuff in it by installing Flash onto the emulator. There isn't really a point to any of these Flash projects, I just wanted the Flash experience. That's why I called it an experiment.

[Loot Loot Goblin]

Really well made game that is surprisingly kinda difficult for just moving around. Graphics and sound are on-point and overall I really enjoyed playing!

[Stumble Duel]

Great game - looks and plays great, cool animations, like it a lot!

[Void Call]

Pretty neat little game, can't say I had any idea of what to expect but I did enjoy it.

TheDiamondfinder responds:

Glad you like it! I'm shocked that the 30-second panic title doesn't give you enough info, but I GUESS I get it

Also congrats, you beat the game after the achievements were published before I could!

[Gods of the Arena Dungeon [DEMO]]

Great demo of a game!
