EctiBot's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[HE ALMOST KILLED ME !]

Eyy, it's Blackthorn. Didn't know you were on newgrounds, love your vids!

This game is very visually appealing, and does a great job with telling the story you wanted. The gameplay is pretty good and the sound design is great, though I'm a sucker for jump sound effects to make jumping more pleasing.
Also, does this game has controller support, or is Unity just automatically assigning the left arrow keys to my Xbox-controller? Regardless I would love it if I could jump with my controller as well, as I'm already able to move left and right-

Overall a great fun little game, great job :)

BlackthornProd responds:

Thanks :) ! I'm really glad you liked this creation and my videos ! I didn't actually add controller support to it, but definitely will do for my next project :) !

It's a bit insane that this is a webgame made with construct 3. Even though this is still just a demo, it's probably one of the best platformers I've seen on here. The art is absolutely marvelous, and the sound design is a huge reason as to why I liked this so much. Can't wait to play the full thing!

[Songbird Symphony v0.1]

Aaa, can't wait until the full game is done. The art is wonderfully cute and wacky and the music catchy. Most of all I really look forward to how you'll continue using music as a part of the story. Really liked how you can interact with the enviroment through music like the platform at the beginning.
Keep up the great work :D!

Very interesting game. Reminds me of a typical arcade game i would play on the web as a kid :). The difficult controls gives it a personality and distinguises it from other platformers. I think a good challenge is an important part of making a platformer. I'll give you +0.5 stars for nostalgia :3

[Dungeon Deadline]

I don't get why people says this is stolen. RotMG took their sprites from a free sprite back by oryx. Maybe it's a good idea to read at least the first sentence in the description before reviewing the game :P.

[Acid Bunny]

Ae you some sort of genius o_O? Probably one of the best free platformers I have played :D.

SeethingSwarm responds:

Wow thank you! No I'm not a genius at all, not by a long shot! ... but thanks for the kind words! I just enjoy making games and I'm really glad people enjoy some of them :)

I would recommend that you use the w a s d insteam of the arrow keys. In games where you combine the mouse with the keyboard it works better. Also the game is pretty boring and you should have added some health to the player. most people don't like to play games where you die on first touch and have to start again just do to do just the same.
I would add some variation to the enmies as well. except from the shooting enemies they are all pretty much the same enemy but with different sprites. Can't give you more than 1 on this one.

SxeSpanky responds:

i still need to animate the sprites, but i think thatll take a lot more time, also i didnt even think about wasd, i will add that in.as for the enemys, this is just level one, of many. i guess its my bad to publish an unfinished game, i just wanted some input
