MLScherbatov's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Through (#gbjam 4 version)]

thank you for having calming color schemes and giving me the ability to progress from level to level with only the space bar. these are two things that i look for in games

also other things i look for are eggs but i am not sure if there are eggs in this game or not because i havent finished it yet

are there eggs?

goshki responds:

Sorry, no eggs in this version. :/

[Stick Squad - 4]

this is really cool, but some of these levels are incredibly tedious and the objectives/ targets are poorly explained. i love sniper games like this and there are a lot of aspects of this title that are really great, but i absolutely should not have to sit around staring at levels for 2,3 or more minutes before i have a chance at success (yes, im talking about the gaming expo level, which i must have spent a lifetime on waiting for a good shot and then missing because the dev's head wasnt even visible)

it's great that you've added more depth than most sniper games of this [caliber HAHAHAHAHHA], but i really think this goes a little too slow for my taste. you should consider giving the player some options for how complete they want the level to be, because however satisfying it is to finally get that perfect shot, it's a real drag to struggle through all the frustration and tedium.

that said, great job. im only mentioning these criticisms because i thoroughly enjoyed the game and i'd like to see more

i liked everything except for the combat - i should be able to swing the sword at will, not just when in contact with an enemy. this combined with the clicking to move made it very difficult to use any kind of finesse and it felt like i was just blindly exchanging blows until i got a few more spells and abilities.
its important for the combat to develop over time, but i dont like that it felt turn based rather than real time

[Oni Yu Can Scare Them]

lolll.... this game is really gr8
im not sure if it was supposed to be a little bit funny but it definitely is a little bit funny
one thing i noticed is that you said 'press any key to continue' but actually you've got to press A or else nothing happens. not rly a big deal tho i figured it out pretty quick without breaking any keyboards in half or anything. also ladders seemed a bit unresponsive/difficult to mount, but otherwise the game seems pretty great. good work

Troisnyx responds:

Thanks! Oh yeah, noticed the bit with "Press any key" too. Thanks for pointing out what you did, too, I'm glad you gave it a go. Glad you like it otherwise!

[Ludum Dare 33: Monster]

this is visually appealing in certain ways and the music is alright, but it's incredibly 1 dimensional. there's no challenge, no real story, and no dynamic gameplay. im not even sure if there is a point other than keeping my hunger bar up, which basically gives me no motive to continue playing the game especially when the combat is just a grind. this could be really good if there were objectives, larger levels, different types of enemies, etc... right now it just seems to be more of a vignette than anything. i wont give it too bad of a rating because i think it has potential to be a good game, but it really seems like you could be doing a lot more with it even if all you did was to make the area larger.

i cant seem to unlock any of these upgrades. it would make sense for level 3 to be so difficult if you could farm for resources and upgrade your units further, but i cant seem to do anything but unlock the unit tiers. the idea is great and the game itself is fun, but its unplayable for me in it's current state
