Zhon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dungeon Watchers]

Solid take on the VS genre. It controls well and the art is cute. I played as Xelvy and I agree with @qwerty741 that the upgrades feel off for her - you're just looking for bombs + stats, none of the spells make a difference in her gameplay.

I liked the high impact of upgrades but the game feels impossible to lose in its current state. Things I'd like to see:

• General difficulty increase
• More interesting attack/mob patterns
• Something unique to set it apart from other games in the genre

I'm sure you've played lots of games like this one, but if you need some inspiration, I highly recommend checking out Death Must Die and 20 Minutes Till Dawn. They both bring some cool mechanics to the table that make you want to keep playing.

[Arsenal Online]

This really has the old school flash arcade feel to it. I enjoyed it.

[worDefense]

Cool game, I love it. I got a little bored after about 200 points though. I would like it if it were a bit more challenging.

[Lost For Swords]

Great game, feels quite polished. I just beat it on my 3rd run. Honestly nothing constructive to say, it was just a pleasant wee roguelike.

[Tricolor]

IMO speed it up a tad and it's perfect. Nice one.

[Auto Necrochess]

I loved this game a lot. I won with a rush strategy - started off with buying as many units as possible, then building toward summoners to fight the king.

Score: 1 • 8 • 21 • 2 • 1 • 3

I think the succubus might be a little OP to be honest, paired with a certain item she can solo an entire row without worry.

I was surprised by a couple of things (spoilers?):
1. Charm doesn't work on princes, I felt this should be explicit since they're endgame enemies
2. [edit- removed]
3. [edit- removed]
4. Curses/blessings remove items
5. Summon spell activates Bard and Rocker's buffs. This makes sense, just wasn't immediately obvious to me

All in all a solid 5 stars from me, this game was hella rad!

Edit: apparently I should stop leaving reviews at like 4 AM, edited to remove a couple of nonsensical points

[Panpukin Panic]

Thanks for the cute lil' game. Loved the style. I agree the PC controls are rough but bearable. An alternate control scheme for PC would be rad.

[Trophy Collab]

What a fun project. I love how it came out! The collection page especially looks awesome.

Mabelma responds:

Really happy you like it bro! Your trophy is one of my favorites.

[Simpler space]

There's way more depth to this game than it lets on at first. It starts out kind of slow but is really rewarding to stick with it. I ran into a couple of crashes but other than that it was fun.

[Drillionaire]

I had a lot of fun with this game but shared a lot of the common criticisms, mainly that the clutch upgrade feels useless because of fuel usage, and that strategy completely goes out the window once you reach your second set of parts. HOWEVER with the recent update that has changed, and I'm really glad the dev is reading and reacting to these reviews. Excited to try the Christmas content <3
