PegasuTV's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gloom]

Played this right when you posted but I put off writing a review because I wanted to try the mobile version. The game is pretty fun and challenging, I'm gonna break down my thoughts:

First I wanna say it runs well on mobile(tried it on my shitty moto g1) and even tough I couldn't use more than one button simultaneously, I love the touch screen joystick, I've always found that default touch screen control from Pico8 awesome, but I wish we had that on different Flash engines that weren't all necessarily using that resolution with pixel art thing Pico8 has, and you kinda granted my wish. Makes me wanna dive into a game project just to expand the "KwingControls" library. I gotta try to mess around with the code assets sometime, actually got some narrative walksimulator-y ideas that I'd love to try to do.

Secondly, the desktop version was optimal and pretty fun, plus the weird shift aligning thing actually felt like an nice added challenge to me, I dunno I just imagined the character was limping or was dragging some weight so they had to adjust theirselves constantly. I remember seeing some first person maze games on NG that are basically well mapped 2d point and click games, but I dont remember seeing what it seems like an actual 3d enviroment with made (entirely?) in Flash. I'm just very intrigued by the techincal stuff behind it and wondering how much polish this 3D engine could reach but I'll just get on to my final point...

Lastly, the actual game, even though it seems pretty barebones, it plays well, its actually fun and challenging, an it atually pulls off a creepy ambiance pretty nicely. The specters and summoners look simple but they work for me, and the ambient music is a nice touch. I still wanna see things done here expanded further.

I'm glad I saw you linking this on a thread and reminded me of how much I liked it.
I hope you mess around with this 3D flash thing more!

Kwing responds:

I'm pleasantly surprised that you enjoyed this on mobile - while I did feel good about the joystick, I couldn't stand using one button at a time. Power to you if you liked it though (along with the mediocre-at-best shift system.)

I do think the 3D engine lends itself to a walking simulator more than most other genres (you could probably do a racing game too,) though the most problematic issue with the engine as a whole is that you can't draw things to the screen that aren't easily represented by a single point (such as a wall of any significant length.) Part of the reason the game plays so well is that the engine's weaknesses (ugly walls, no floor textures, significant lag if rendering more than a few objects) are covered up by design choices (open environment, darkness to reduce draw distance, punishing the player for moving too far from bonfire.) I'd like to expand on the basic idea more, but the engine is unfortunately very limited.

Thanks for the review!

not cool, there should be one side missile w/ a bunch of soldier guys and tanks and shit, and on the other side like one armed muslim, and a bunch of children and women carrying babies and just fucking villages. innacurate but half star for effort and heavy metal guitar.

ZabuJard responds:

i will make accurate sequel for u lad

[Handulum]

I meant to write a review for this the first time I played it, but I've opened up this game a few times since and I'm always like "damn this is fun!" I end up playing for like an hour and eventually just close out the page quickly so I won't just spend my day playing it... and I forget to review

What I wanna say is, the way things work in this tiny game are super fun, you can try to clear every level in a milion different cool and trickier ways, please please please expand on this prototype, I've been playing your tiny games and they're all fun, but this one may be my fave

StuffedWombat responds:

Hey,

thanks for the kind words, it is very nice to see that people are enjoying these reduced games :)

I am currently working (among way too many other things) on an expanded version of Handulum!
But it may take quite some time before it is finished :/

Making tiny things is so fast that sometimes you just land on something that works accidentally, but replicating that feeling is very hard and maybe even impossible!

I hope you will enojy the next version of handulum as well, when it comes out :)

Have a nice day!

Damn it looks like the celebrity assassin beat up flashes that used to flood newgrounds, i like that.
also I'm not shure who that guy is, but I don't care. Also, who's the author for the music used?

FaultyMirror responds:

Brushy One String, a guy who makes music with a guitar with only one string.

[NG Advent Calendar 2012]

P.S.:
I'm never playing any ng game with medals in my account agn so I have my medal on my page FOEVA

TurkeyOnAStick responds:

Tell you what, there's no better feeling than having one of your pictures as an NG medal.

Well, there probably are better feelings out there, but a personal NG medal is up there.

[Fuck Cunt]

Oh joy what a marvellous piece of flash!
I just enjoy moronic material with a sense of humor that is just random or senseless.
Plus shall I state that dislike this game could be stated as Faggits.
Thank you my sir

TheClunkheads responds:

thank you kind sir, i wish i could pay you in back rubs

[Ace Pilot]

of course it was great.the design voice acting and the gamplay were all fucking great.
just wish it was a bit longer there should definitely have a sequel if possible.
also I dont know shit about programing so I dont know how this idea would work,but if somehow a multiplayer mode was added it would be beutiful,just the small ship shooting at each other like a flash online starfox thing.
anyways it was awsum.

EldritchAbomination responds:

@Sequel - oh you know it
