Stepford's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Abstract Dasher]

Super fun and satisfying! Immediately got me hooked from the very first run.

If I had to give any feedback, it'd be that that some of the sound effects are way too highpitched/loud. It also took me a bit of a while before I died, so there isn't much initial challenge imo. A bit more interesting sound design, spruced up UI elements, glowy special effects and camera movement and you'd legit have a $5 killer steam gem on your hands!

Steventus responds:

Hearing this from you is a big motivating factor from me! Always looked up to your works!

The (lack of a) challenge in the game was, in hindsight, do kill the game I agree. I did have some ideas in mind but was afraid of extending this small post-jam project way longer than I wanted to so I simply tweaked obstacles as is.

I had never thought of it as a $5 game though but that is a big compliment! Thank you!

scary

It definitely needs some QoL, visual fidelity and some DELICIOUS JUICE, but what's here is really good! I was instantly hooked on building the biggest base I could, which is a good thing! Maybe introducing one thing at a time to the player would be better, since it's a bit much from the getgo.

snoboxstudio responds:

Thank you so much for the feedback!! We're really happy that you had fun playing! Definitely going to set out a roadmap today for our plans for this game - an intro would make things easier to understand! Our plans are to eventually have an AI opponent that sends waves of enemies and needs to be defeated to win the game, as well as different modes, difficulties, etc. :D

[Interdimensional Square Off]

Super crunchy, super addicting, super fun, BANGING TUNES, highscores and medals - what else could you want???

I will say, I tried playing this game like three times and a loading bar never appeared. I only decided to sit and wait today and it eventually DID start the game? I think people might be discouraged if they can't see the loading bar of the game. It might just be something on my end, idk!!!

Peti responds:

Thank you sm WHOA!!!!

I'm guessing you mean for initializing the game? I've seen this problem with a few others too. Genuinely dunno what causes it tbh, might just be Unity being poo. I dunno if I can add a start-up loading screen with Unity tbh, like with GM and Godot. But I will look into it regardless and if there's a way then I'll defo implement it!!!

[Shal's Game]

The platforming is incredibly tricky, but asides from that, for a first game? this is very impressive. a million times better than my first game.

[UNITRES LUCID - Early Prototype]

The movement feels amazing on this! I can't wait to see future updates!

I will say, the camera looks a bit jittery - but it doesn't effect gameplay too much!

[Peter's Quest]

holy fuck. i didn't think it would be this good. i really didn't. this is fucking amazing.

SlickRamen responds:
