Yetman's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Florisher]

It is a nice game with a creative twist on minesweeper.

Nice game and the idea is very creative.
I didn't read the instructions before playing the first time, so I have become death, destroyer of chickens. My sincerest apologies to all the chickens harmed in the process.

[Bore of Time]

This game is a lot of fun. The rules are not complex yet they allow for some interesting and challenging levels.
However, I think the game requires a significant level of luck since some levels put the player in very difficult starting situations (they may even be unwinnable but I may be wrong). Some enemies feel too random (specifically the spiders) which makes it hard to plan ahead. Maybe there are some rules for the spiders' movement but I couldn't infer them.
Overall, I really enjoyed the game and I find myself coming back to it from time to time.

[Steps]

That was really fun to play. I totally prefer the idea of limiting the steps compared to Minit's time limit. The fact that I can stop and think in the middle makes it much more relaxing. The only thing I found a bit frustrating is the dark dungeons since I don't like to rely on my memory (I died a lot doing the same actions over and over) but that's just a personal preference. Overall, it was a joy to play. Next goal is to get the coins since I missed all of them.

Thanks a lot :) I am glad you enjoyed the game :) There is a torch upgrade that you can grab that make the dungeons easy and no need to lots of memory :)

[Size Is Difficult]

Nice game and the idea is creative and fun. Given that it is done in 3 days, you've done a really nice job. My criticism for the game is:
1- The controls are a bit unreliable. You can press jump while touching the ground and still not jump (the jump sound effect plays though).
2- The box rotation makes the physics feel a bit wonky. I am not sure but I think that game may feel better if the rotation is turned off.
3- The foreground green is a bit too saturated and is hard to look at for an extended period of time. The foreground and background green are not different enough from each other (especially in terms of brightness). In general, I think the color palette can use some tuning.
4- The sound effects and music are a bit hard on the ears. I am bad at sound/music stuff so I have no recommendations.
Anyway, I really enjoyed playing this game and I hope you achieve great success with all your projects.

[Winter Falling: Price of Life]

This is one of the games where I had a feeling I would never win. After losing 2 times, I quit. Later, I felt an urge to return and give it another try. Oh boy, It was such a satisfying comeback. I barely made it on normal but it felt amazing to analyze my past mistakes and reconsider my strategies.
I like the art, sounds, music and level designs. I specially admire the high replay value; there are still many things that I wish to go back and try.
I wish you great success with the full game.

Rarykos responds:

Ah, thank you very much! It's so nice to read a detailed opinion like this. Glad you had fun! I hope the full game will be just bigger and better!

[Robostar]

One of the most enjoyable games I've played. It really intrigued me that I didn't realize I played for nearly 3 hours to reach the end. Other than feeling lost for a few minutes, it was fun to explore. To be honest, I was lazy to read every line of dialog but I guess I understood the story in general. I am looking forward to go back and see what other endings I can get.

[Dystopian Nights]

This is an artistic masterpiece. The artwork, sound design, music and environment are mesmerizing. The only thing I dislike is the camera controls. First, the game does not capture the mouse pointer so the rotation gets interrupted whenever I reach the edge of the screen. Also, the camera distance changes abruptly when transitioning between open and closed areas. However, this didn't prevent me from curiously exploring this wonderful creation.

Jasonario responds:

Noted! If I choose to make this into a bigger game I will definitely fix that. Originally it was designed as a PC app so I didn't really think about the windowed controls. So I'll keep that in mind for sure.

Edited: Cursor lock should now be working! Thanks again!

[Economical]

This game is great. While winning is not hard, the challenge to do it as efficiently as possible is what makes it great. The level designs are also well done. My only problem is that I can't bear with the music for a long time. The music is good but it is too upbeat for a puzzle game in my opinion. I also noticed that the music icon is swapped with the sound effect icon in the options menu. I almost forgot to mention that I really like your art style. Awesome work.

[Labyrneath II]

It's been quite sometime since I felt invested enough to finish a hard platformer game. It was really fun and till the next chapter is out, I think I'll go play chapter 1 too.
