Anonymous-Frog's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windows 96 Emulator (Read Des)]

I've got 3 reasons for this score:
1. The idea was already taken and executed worse than the original, which itself can't be recommended (see reason 3). There's less content overall.
2. BEEAAAANNNNNNNNNS is not a good joke.
3. Windows parodies are a dime and dozen on various game website and this one doesn't really set itself apart from the rest.

See 'Why They Intentionally Get the BSoD' on Crappy Games Wiki. A lot of the points made also apply to this and Michaelsoft Binbows 97, especially points 1, 5, 6 and 10.

Thanks for the response I guess. But you got remember this was made by some teenager in like a month so of course it's gonna be shit.

[Phase 3.0]

Identical to 2.0, except with new music, title screen, hazards, and 3 more stages.

Points from the last review:
> Admits that getting stuck in blocks is a problem
> Barebones graphics (now with blue sky and red lasers!)
> Basic platforming without scrolling
> Annoying and repetitive music loop (gone in v2, but now MORE annoying)

Don't post a new version as a new submission. You can update the old one.

Exemo responds:

Dude it's got 3 new levels

[Phase 2.0]

Identical to the last submission, except without music and two extra screens.

Points from the last review:
> Admits that getting stuck in blocks is a problem
> Barebones graphics (the addition of a rock platform that's harder to notice doesn't fix this.
> Basic platforming without scrolling
> Annoying and repetitive music loop (gone now)
> Only three screens (now five)

Exemo responds:

Can you do better?

[game boy's madness]

Even though it's nice that the graphics and presentation are a little better (themed around the Game Boy) it doesn't look like you changed the gameplay much, (which itself is on the easy side and the only real challenge is not losing your beat) and still feels Game and Watch-esque.

Have a look at the Game and Watch Gallery series, which have a collection of multiple games, each one having both a 'classic' mode, which recreates the original, and a 'modern' mode, which revamps the graphics + gameplay in a way that's not possible on the original Game and Watch system.

If I was to give this game the same level of magic I did for Gun Shit Die, I would've taken that approach, ie. in 'modern' mode, there'd be smoother animation + movement for both Tricky and the grunts, the grunts move in different patterns, and maybe have Sanford, Deimos, Hank, etc that move in less predictable patterns and take more hits, only being knocked back if not killed.

TBerger responds:

Thanks for the review, I will take a look and perhaps even make an update to this pseudo remake

[Trophy Collab]

Could use with some sound effects for opening up the balls, but otherwise perfect!

TROPHIES DONE (7/65):
- Curse of the FP
- BB-10 @chris-the-stick
- Tricky the Clown
- Jack Serious: @ThatJohnnyGuy's character
- Marsh Barsch
- Cleetus McBill Sr (PPK Amateur Trophy) from @53xy83457's Project Pixkill
- The Back Alley Legend of NG: @rtil

And I would've made 3 more if not for its release.

Mabelma responds:

Thanks for participating. I did like 30 trophies on this. Thanks for adding your 7 into the batch. Good job.

[EAT]

As per crew obligation, this is 5 stars.

This is literally a copy of the 'game' (if you can call it that) Eat spajeje.
The difference is that the background wobbles a lot more and you're eating Donald Trump, which now takes even longer with a stupider sound. I'd say this is the superior version.

Vidyabatter responds:

I second that, eevee. godspeed.

[Red Hound Fight Club]

"Not recommended"
Score: 4

I wouldn't recommend this as a fighting game.

Story: Serviceable, but there's only one chapter and that's only 2 fights long, making three characters and three stages unusable in the story mode.

Gameplay: Slippery controls, you can pass through your enemy without taking a hit, allowing you to cheese the fight. Sure the ice man can freeze you, but that's about it.

Graphics: Very choppy.

Sound: No sound effects.

Arvie-k responds:

Sorry you didn't enjoy it
Also there’s going to be more to the story mode as more updates come
As for the controls I have gotten told that before and I'm looking into it and it'll be fixed up when I update this game sometime soon
And also I appreciate the critique, I'll keep it in mind so I can do better next time
