CaptKirky's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ghostscape 3D]

WOW. You really know how to make a great, PERFECTLY challenged horror game.

I jumped a few times with this one. Could only imagine how much scarier it would be with headphones.

Mission accepted for the next one. ;P

Psionic3D responds:

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[The Aberration Inside]

BRAVO MY GOOD SIR, BRAVO!

What a fantastic game. Took a little getting used to at the beginning because of lack in instructions, but once you figure out that you have to utilize the items in your inventory, the rest is easy peezy.

The only thing that Im not a huge fan of is the fact that you have to play it twice to get "the best ending." Thats kind of bs and you'll probably get alot of people that wont play it twice, like myself.
(Maybe the addition of medals will help with that as well)

But damn its a great game, the puzzles are really good. Graphics are amazing and the music is perfect. Definitely looking forward to more games from you.

Psionic3D responds:

Thank you.

Yeah the play at least twice thing might be an issue for some but there is an entirely different level to play if you take the other route, it's only the first parts and last level that are repeated and often you miss things on your first play through ;-)

[Virus Hunter Battle]

Controls are extremely "choppy," meaning, half the time they work and half of the time, they dont.
Having the dialogue zoom in and out like that is kind of painful to look at though I do see where you were going with that.

Im not even sure how Im playing. Basically just clicking buttons and moving along till I die.

Redprogram55 responds:

Good to know.
I re uploaded with a boost to the performance speed.
See if it works better now :)

Also you can always RIGHT CLICK and change the quality to "LOW"

Thanks for all the feedback guys!
I need to know this stuff!

[Gold Digger]

Graphics are nice but the controlling is absolutely bonkers. Its do-able (took me about 6 times to beat the first level) but because the controls are so bad its very easy to get bored and cease playing.

cyborgbuffalo responds:

Thank you very much for your comment.
I realized that it was hard to control the character due to a sliding effect I made, I updated the game and removed that effect, please play again and tell me if you feel any improvement in the controls.

[Dead Detention 2 #4]

Shame you finally include an African American in your game and he dies :(

JackAstral responds:

There'll be more diversity in my next projects- promise!

[Praepotentia]

You put ALOT of work into this game and I give you a HUGE kudos for that cause it shows.

The controls are a little weird, laggy at times and ALL OVER THE PLACE, but it all still works.

The story is wonderful and the graphics are really good.

Honestly GREAT FREAKIN JOB. Cant wait to see more games from you in the future.

Tupo26 responds:

I was worried about lag because I tested the game on my 5+ year old laptop. When I updated flash player issue was sloved.

I kept a log on how many work hours I had spent on making this game. I stopped updating the log when 1000 work hour mark was passed.

Thanks for the review.

[Defend Yourself]

Simple yet addicting. Definitely could use some upgrades.

Filipepeh1 responds:

Thanks for you feedback! updates will !!!

[Chopterfury]

Definitely one of the best sidescrollers Ive played here.
Smooth controlling and not TOO easy. Simple graphics. I like it.

Fjellbyte responds:

Thanks, that's really nice to hear!
The controls are specifically made for this Flash version, on Android we use a touch and slide control.

[GameToilet Mobile#1 : Prince of Slackers]

Wish there were medals because Ive definitely wasted about 3 hours of my life playing this....

You can either make a great idle game or a terrible one and you sir have made a great one.
Upgrades are nice as well as the "Things." I maxed out everything on both ends.

My only issue was there was no end... and whats the point?
I was convinced that once I got the "A Job" thing, that the game would have been over...
but it just continued. I guess thats kind of the point of the game right? Neverending struggle.
(Sorry about losing your job.)

Also, the point of an idle game I feel is that you can walk away for a short time with the assurance that you'll continue making money/points in your absence. That was basically impossible because that pop-up for your mobile game was pretty frequent and stopped the whole gaming process.
That was a bit annoying.

Regardless, it was fun to play. One of the best idle games Ive ever played here.

@red-ramen I was going to say the EXACT same thing. Got to 500+ decided that was enough.

hamtyler responds:

cheers for the kind words ! - that pop-up was buggy - am uploading a v1.1 version in a bit that fixes that.

I'll probably go back and amend it a bit when I get time, but now I am 'post-employed' I spend most of my time in a vicious cycle of watching Columbo, eating toast & feeling guilty that I haven't learned Unity yet :D

[The nutter]

This is so frustrating and heartbreaking...

You have this amazing idea and youve sadly ruined it.

Having to allow popups is total bullshit. Even though the popup is kind of funny, it totally interrupts the "game" and defeats the purpose of creating the kind of chaos youre looking to show.

Then, there is no gaming aspect involved. Youre only waddling around while the scenes change.
So its PURELY visual, which is fine, but then...
THE DAMN POPUPS ruin that.

I was really tempted to blam this but the artwork and audio is awesome.
Its truly a shame. :(

sebbdk responds:

Hi Captkirky,

This was made as a sort of experiment in a very short amount of time for a game jam(about 20 hours i think), the idea was the popup-interactions would add to the immersion and earie feeling, we even timed things to act up when you got back, i am sorry to hear it instead breaks immersion for you.

But many thanks for the feedback, experimenting like this can go both ways i guess. :)
