Aalasteir's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Save Your Girl]

Hi hhpony! Your game is nice. There are good puzzles, and I saved the girl. Thank you for using the song "Orange Lights Ahead." I think your running animation is nice, as well as the jumping one and the one where the stickman is floating. Overall, I had a positive experience with the game. However, I realized that if you die to the axe trap and go back, you cannot complete the game because the jumping puzzle is no longer active. This means the entire game has to be refreshed.

Please keep making your games! I had fun and enjoyed the experience because I was able to complete it. You are awesome!

Hi, thank you, I couldn't find any way around it as whenever the player dies he just moves back to the start. Because if I restart the level it gets complicated with the camera... I'll try adding a checkpoint.

Edit: Checkpoint added right before the white traps!

[The Newgrounds Bug Collab]

Bugs forever! The bugs are amazing, @conundrym's music is really nice! Complementing the collab presentation very well.

The way the camera zooms out to reveal a scene with a bug is smooth and well done. Additionally, being able to press Q to go to the author's NG page is a great idea.

[Heroes of Pico's School]

The starting scene is immediately captivating, with dynamic and action-packed animation. I am not great at puzzles and often need to redo them multiple times to get them right. It's great to see the differences in how Pico uses a gun while Danell uses a lighter to light things behind him, requiring you to be careful not to step into the fire. It's nice of Harry to donate the fire animation. Each character having their own mechanic is very creative!

The description is very well-organized, with clear information and good, readable typography. The cool logo design also has a lot of flair.

[The Newgrounds KinitoPET Collab]

Excellent art! Thank you all so much for making this an awesome collab. The drawings are very creative! It's always great to see passion!

Prismisho responds:

Collab.

[Mini Quest]

Thank you so much for creating your game! I helped the Scarecrow with his task, and I also saved the cat!

Thank you for using the song! Crying while Smiling! I feel the song is a good match for the snowy environment.

[Decapitaticide]

The style is terrific, and the gameplay is well-balanced. However, there's only one thing I think could use more explanation: how to get ammunition and health packs for Lucas.

Lucas, I cannot complete the section because I don't know how to pick up the health pickups and ammunition. I always run out of ammunition, and I don't know how to get more of it, as that's not explained in the description.

I found the best technique for defeating Alfredo was by holding down "E" and sometimes using "R" when he is charging up to attack.

Dav, the best way I thought to defeat him was by constantly being in cover and then shooting, peeking to shoot, and ducking back repeatedly, completely ignoring all of the other enemies that are there because if you are behind cover, they cannot hurt you.

Overall, it was a great experience! And a great selection of music.

[LOLympics 100m Flash]

I feel like you can use the disqualified scene to practice, which I think is cool, and the instructions explain it well. The gameplay is fun and takes practice to get used to. On my second try, I got to second place. It is difficult to get to first place. Sizzling! I keep getting to second place. On my fourth try, I got to first place at 11:39. Glorious! I feel the experience is short and concrete, and it has an interesting concept that I feel is well-executed.

AthleticDesign responds:

So, it is winnable after all! I'm pleased to hear. Yes exactly, my intention of not forcing a restart after a DQ was to enable stress free practicing (and also to put in a goof that sadly did not make it in time).

[Deeply Lost]

Your game is well-made; full of personality and has a unique and interesting style with functioning gameplay. However, I have trouble with the music; I find it disorienting, especially when the piano kicks in because the tonalities feel clashing with each other. It's a good decision that you can easily turn back and try to replay the level if you are stuck. The sound effects are good. I like you can buy different hats.
