Stepford's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spooky Quest]

The art is really fucking good! I love the design of the witch, bosses and the player character. The gameplay itself is a bit lackluster, feeling a bit hallow at times. It could definitely use some more impact and sound effects. Making the enemy flash when you hit them and flashing the screen red for a split second when you are hit are also good ways of conveying IMPACT. The final boss used the sonic screech every time you got close enough to land a hit, making it more of an endurance test. I'd also recommend pausing the music right before loading screens because it jitters the song and sounds a bit awful.

Asides from all that nitpicky stuff, awesome work!

ShapeShiftingBlob responds:

I'd say it's not nitpicky at all! I can see the problem with the lack of cues when you take or inflict damage, and how it takes a toll in the overall experience of the game. I hadn't thought of flashing the hole screen when you get hit, but that sounds like a good idea. The final boss was the one I rushed the most when making the sprites, so it's really bare for sure. As for the audio, we are trying to figure out how to fix it.

[GSK - The Game]

The sprite work is nice, but there isn't much to this game yet. Unless I'm missing something? You can kill a pill dude and jump off the bed.

I2ustySpork responds:

Thanks, it's a work-in-progress. Basically showing it off to the other guy as I have no other means of sharing it. Hope it runs well!

[Power Clicker]

I had to zoom in on my browser to read the text, and the upgrades did break when I bought two of the same one. (I didn't read the description until after, haha!)

These are always addicting! It would be more fun if the power bar POPPED each time you clicked on it, getting bigger and smaller.

LazerBladeStudios responds:

I am working on further updates for the game, I will definitely add that! Thank you.

[Killing fucking zombies with tomatoes]

I like your zombie and tomato sprites! It's really difficult because they can one-tap you. I did find the door and win the game, though.

TheAccountOfJose responds:

midgetsausage responds:

YEA BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! merry tankmas stepford

['Tower of the Missing Sock' - DEMO]

This game is awesome! The art style rocks. I just wish the player could move a bit quicker, swing faster and dodge a bit more. He feels like he's moving through molasses at times. Asides from that, awesome work!

Butzbo responds:

Checking all the reviews seems like the player's speed has been of most common issues to keep working on, will try looking for a better sweet spot next time haha
Thanks Stepford!!
