[DEAD PETALS]

Great game, but deader petals has pretty much no room to move in later stages.

bandaloo responds:

thanks for playing! that is a fair criticism. it's hard to strike the right balance with procedural generation stuff.

if i were to redo the bullet pattern generation, i would have each enemy have a certain amount of "skill" points it could slot into various stats, such as bullet spread, fire rate, bullet size, bullet speed, etc.. right now as the difficulty increases, it just widens the range of possible values. so occasionally, you'll just have some tiny blue duck or whatever that lucked out on all its stats way early in the game. i kind of like the jankiness because you don't know what to expect, and it forces you to spend some resources (hyper) to push past rough spots, but if i take this idea further i'll have the difficulty curve be a little smoother.

you *can* get thru with well-timed bullet cancels and your hitbox is actually super small, but it does get crazier than i anticipated. i did get a decent winstreak on deader petals the other day, though. and i'll have a custom game menu added soon!

[The Wizard Ran: Chapter 3]

I find it hard to navigate with the lack of depth, the style change wouldve been nice if there was a better sense of location, i get the whole point is the forest being cursed and hard to navigate, but I feel like I'm running aimlessly due to not being able to see far and lack of memorable landmarks.

adriendittrick responds:

That's what I get for experimenting in my engine :p

[Comatoast: Unjammed]

Great game, but i noticed a bug where naan gets stuck in platforms, or they end up stuck and cant flip again even when on the ground sometimes, it's ruined a few runs.

crow-seeds responds:

Working on fixing!!!!!

[The Impossible Newgrounds Game!]

Decent game, but it feels a bit lackluster. The controls are a bit janky and it kinda seems like a watered down version of the "world's hardest game". Maybe give something to make it a bit more unique in a sense? That's just my opinion, though.

FlankoTanko responds:

thx for the review
I plan on adding rng levels and fixing the movement (A Bunch)

I plan on adding more things soon ofc right now I am working on Some Nights At Pico's

[Madness Roulette 2]

i try to navigate the backrooms but I literally get stuck in the wall, i used the unstuck command and made it to the door and immediately after im in floor 2 but i cant move, use commands, anything, online is kinda scuffed

larrynachos responds:

When all else fails, try !room roomname to kick yourself to a private lobby

[/tilt/]

It's a really good concept, but it's a bit buggy. Mainly when I complete a level, It doesn't register my time, regardless of if I'm faster than the par time or not.

being-brin responds:

sorry! something broke while we were fixing an exploit. if you play it again and beat any of the levels (regardless of your time) it should resubmit!!
