EroPharaoh's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Surplus Snakes]

This is pretty awesome, especially for being done in less than 72 hours! I love that it's an angled view instead of straight-above, really adds depth to it.

orange08 responds:

Thank you Mister Pharaoh!! I also think that a straight top-down view feels too flat, so naturally I prefer the zelda kind of view.

[Super Hot Pellet Muncher 2000]

This is amazing. I see so many (Ms)Pacman clones on Newgrounds that don't try to do anything special..It's great to see something creative and visually beautiful to look at. Great work :)

SpaceTrucker2000 responds:

thanks a lot!

[Stick Fighter RPG]

Great job on this game! Would definitely like to see something like this with fleshed out characters; it's hard to relate to stick figures.

I want to point out however, the "white box" is Flash player loading the content; not anti-virus or flash player issues... It's either your preloader isn't on the first frame, or the assets are set to load before the preloader. That's why the preloader only appears for a split second after the rest of the content loads. Some evidence of this is if you throttle your internet connection you'll notice the white box will appear longer as it loads the ~50mb of content, and no matter how slow the connection it'll only show the preloader for a split second.

Unfortunately it is something that has to be fixed on your end, and since it's such a large file (for an SWF anyway) you're going to lose people with slower connections that don't realize how much longer it'll take to load.

ExtinctionGames responds:

Thank you for that.
I had tried making it so that all MC's are not loaded on frame 1 and that the pre loader is placed on the stage on frame 1. I don't know why anything could still be loading before the pre loader.

[Ultra Zultra]

I always love games where you can climb up walls! This is fun, and I love the graphics. The only thing that sort of bothered me is how the foreground moves before the "main stage" moves - it should indeed be moving the fastest, but not when the screen is still!

Vidsneezes responds:

Yea! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Right now i'm just seating here wondering why i hadn't notice the background moving when the camera wasn't xD going to fix it soon.

[Dead Horizon]

This is AMAZING! Though I would describe it as more of an interactive visual novel rather than a point-and-click adventure game...there aren't any choices! (I really didn't want to shoot the sheriff!)

Loved the sound, loved the music, loved the style, absolutely amazing!! I can really see how much was put into it and it really makes a difference!!

Emptygoddess responds:

Yeah. Poor Sheriff guy. Just doing his job ; -;

[Happy Chicken Jump]

As others said, very poor controls. In response to your responses - telling people who say the controls are poor to "try better" is being willfully ignorant to issues with your game. Instead of telling people they aren't good enough, maybe fix the problem with your game! A game should be hard because of gameplay mechanics; not because you chose to give it difficult controls.

As it is, this game is no different from the hundreds of other games like this aside from having worse controls; try to think of something that will set it apart!

odiusfly responds:

I fix the controls. Thanks for your time and comments!

[String Theory 2]

I saw the review that said they couldn't find a thing wrong with it and thought "We'll see!"

..Well, they were right. It's perfect. Interesting and addictive gameplay, and a STORY! I didn't expect voice-acting in a game like this. An absolutely surprising amount of fun, thank you for this creation!

LunarGamesDev responds:

We're very glad you enjoyed our game so much! Thanks for playing :D

[That Titanium Guy]

Awesome! My only complaint is that using the space key to jump isn't very comfortable or natural, I'd recommend switching jump to "W" to keep the classic WASD format.

jhypin responds:

Thank you for your feedback! We will definitely add a control settings option in our next release, be sure to check it out then!
