Peti's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pong]

What's here isn't much of an improvement. The title screen is barebones with no music and the most generic font you can find. Then the actual game is blinding with loads of bloom and effects. It contrasts badly and neither is pleasing to look at. The gameplay feels sluggish, with the playing field being too small for such big entities. And the player resetting back to the center is disorienting.
This isn't even an original game with any sort of interesting mechanic or twist, so I can't even score you on that. It's literally Pong, except worse to look at and less fun to play.

I didn't enjoy being so negative. I know game dev can be tricky when you just start out, so I hope that you can take these things to heart and improve on your next game. Make sure to hit preview before submitting and check if things work.

MST-Creator responds:

yeaaaaaaaaaa... I kinda did it in a hurry and was gonna look at the size in the morning, and now I open the computer and see that it's huge.

Wait, I am such an idiot... I just saw that the players are out of camera view. lol

[Ghaster Blaster]

Fun game! It's simple, but satisfying to play! The addition of a leaderboard also helps the game as well, it motivated me to keep playing lol
My only complaints are that the balls/power meter/whatever feels a bit useless. The ability to avoid being hurt isn't too great when you're prolly gonna be avoiding harm anyway because you die in one hit. There isn't much you can do with it. I was thinking maybe the balls can lightly refill the power meter while it's active, since it would encourage the player to combo/kill ghosts faster and actually run into a horde of ghosts to get more balls(and perhaps risk dying if the power is almost out). The music is ok, not catchy but at least not annoying either.
But this game is really nice and fun, I'll prolly be coming back to this! Great job!

[Wika Wicked's Egg]

I'm glad this game is starting to get the recognition it deserves, this game looks fucking awesome. Especially for one dude in 9 days? Sickkkk. Plz keep making games, you have serious talent
Id personally rly like a download version of this game. I have a hard time running it in browser on my crap laptop lol

gustavvonperiwinkle responds:

I'll upload a desktop version some time today and put a link to it in the description! webGL removes a couple of the audio effects unfortunately!

[Stargrove Scramble]

This game is awesome! No way was it only made in 9 days! Feels like something that has been in the works for much longer. Super charming!

[CHICKENSHIT]

I love how absolutely insane this game is, it's really fun and feels really good to play. It's just a blast and i love it

[The Egg Thief]

The game's concept is pretty unique, almost like an RPG metroidvania. It's cool! My only complaint is that the controls and gameplay don't feel great. I think this game could be easily expanded on, that'd be sick! Very well presentation, very unique experience!

xinelu responds:

I focus on making it work and than visuals... maybe my priorities were wrong haha.

But thank you for playing it :) it was a risk to try a different RPG for once

[Red Egg Redemption]

this game made my muscles 20% bigger and cured all my medical problems

[Eggscape From Kitchen]

The game's concept is nice, but I think ultimately the game's controls kill it. I expected the egg to go rolling at the press of a key, I think that would have been more fun instead of the egg going an inch forward. That you have to keep jacking the key to move makes me not wanna play again because it just kills my arm before I can even finish the first stage. Turning requires you to play keyboard DDR just so you can turn properly. Making the distance traveled when pressing a key and making the turn rotations bigger would help this game a lot, as well as my arm

Very well done though for only one person, especially since this is a 3D game made in 9 days. I hope you keep going

boniikawaiidesu responds:

based on your feedback i asked permission to polish the controls now i removed some camera bugs and added camera controls using the mouse so it's more confortable to play also you can leave the key pressed

[Throw da Egg 🥚]

This game's pretty cool! I really like the mechanics, the puzzles really do well to pull out the most it can out of the game! Well done, especially for just one person!

(One glitch I did notice is that the old crocodile seems to give you an egg when you pass through him. It made it so you could just walk right through the long corridor of crocs because the regular ones kept stealing your egg, while the old ones kept giving you a new one)

kr0tyara responds:

That's not a glitch. Look closer: the crocodile who gives you the egg has this egg in his mouth.

[Sunnyside vs. the Eggies]

i woke up with like maybe 4 hours of sleep and navigated discord in my zombie-like state. as soon as i saw sunnyside got released i fuckin jumped out of bed just to play this game bc this is the game ive been THE most hyped about playing and finally playing it feels like pulling out excalibur from its stone-y pedestal. this game's awesome, the art, the gameplay, the music, the vibe. it's perfect. watching this game's development has been amazing and playing it now is even more amazing

tl;dr amogus trash can

Stepford responds:

I'm glad it was worth the wait! <3
