Plasmarift's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Human Chop]

This game is pretty good. It deals with many of the things in life that can destroy a person. The blocks and balls are mere physical representations of them.

[C.O.R.E]

This was actually more indepth then I was expecting and this could be so far one of your greatest games. It shows a real life problem and how you can make it worse by trying to break down the materials. There are a few problems though. I start with the big ones.
- I remember going through over 20 circuit boards at an acid barrel and getting nothing in return and not being able to use the broken circuit boards in it.
- I don't know how to repair myself even though I know what I can use to do it.
- Sometimes, you can't always reach everything in the game because the character can't fit into small places.
- The attack system is a little off in direction (I had to position myself a little to the side of the enemy to land an attack), but it still works.
- You should probably have a scrambling feature for the items to make each gameplay different.
- I'm never exactly sure when the game will end when I go around a corner. I expected it to go on longer when I saw more robots in the inner area.

Still, don't let this stuff take away from the good. The music is good (you might want to fix the sudden stop in the music before it loops) and the main character reminds me of a rogue discarded iPhone so it is cool. The concept is good. The last piece of advice I have is to add a return to menu button at the end of the game. Really, really great game!

Thanks for the feedback I worked on this game for quite a while and I'm glad to hear you liked it as for the music I noticed that to when I tested it right before I published it. But whenever I play the game as a .swf on my desktop it doesn't do it, so I am really stumped on why it suddenly stops like it does in browser. What I have been doing is taking ideas that I had for games making kinda mini flash games and seeing what people want then expanding on them as need. So I will be making, and expanding C.O.R.E so it feels a little less like a mini game and more like a full flash game. Thanks for the idea of a scrambling feature I planned to just make more maps but if I could just have 2 or 3 maps and have the items randomly generate that sounds much easier.

I wasn't expecting much out of a Stencyl. however, this game was okay, but it could have been so much better. There was nothing to collect and there was no point in exploring other than to find the door or if you were really curious about the game. You could have had the character take pictures of the skeletons or given him a weapon to kill the monsters with (why didn't the monsters harm the main character). You also could have had text pop up in between loading screens after you go through the doors to reflect the main character's reactions to the planet. It may have also been better if the song was a bit longer before it looped. I have to give you credit, though. I didn't come across any bugs which is rare for most of the Stencyl games I play.

Try playing Gyossait on newgrounds if you haven't already to see the potential that Stencyl has to offer users. Good luck with your other games.

[Test 442]

Wow, that was quick! Didn't expect to see a game from you so quickly. Was this the game you were referring to before that wanted me to test?

The music was a nice touch and sounded good, but for some reason during the game, it began playing again while it was already playing, overlapping each other and making it very annoying. I had to mute it while writing this. A few other problems.
- You have to jump when you are next to the door to enter it.
- If there is no ceiling or walls and your character goes off screen in the slightest,and you jump into it, you will restart.
- On the second level after the title screen, the character will appear in the upper left corner in the black and you will restart the level. This has so far happened ever time I entered the level.
- On the jungle level, there is an invisible object that blocked me.
- An ending screen would be nice, but this is a test so it is okay.

Things I liked
- Being able to control your jumping height by how long you hold jump. The smoothness of the character's movement.
- The background art when you go back in time was good. Did you make that?
- Some of the jumps were a little difficult so those were good. They challenge the player in skill.
- Thank you for explaining what is going on in the game under Author Comment.

You probably already know about all the problems I'd mention, but I thought I'd bring them up just in case loading it to newgrounds caused the problems. This is indeed an improvement. Very good job.

[American wormhole]

A pretty good game. It was kind of short though and I think the sound that occurs whenever you jump might get on some people's nerves. That last level was actually pretty tough. Good job!

[You Have To Eat]

I can't actually comment on the gameplay of it since I really did compete against anyone. However, the game mechanics do work though they do look a little cheap (the character just moving rapidly back and forth to run and moving rapidly back and forth to eat). The landscape looks very good. I think this would be a good game, but it relies on the inclusion of other players. In other words, less players equals less fun.

I suggest putting in a short message that says "warning, do not eat poop in real life" or at least a disclaimer so you don't get sued because kids might play this game and yes, one of them might be dumb enough to refer to this as their reason for doing something stupid.

[Rain Dance]

It's not bad. The concept is awesome, but when you begin and have all your water (health), it is nearly impossible to jump over spots without losing water. Also, five levels is a bit short although I understand you made this in 2 days-ish.

[Dresser Disaster Escape]

Pretty cool game. Nice mix of escape game and dress up game. I was thinking of doing something a little like this myself. Good job, but I think I've run into a problem. When I go to dress the girl up, I can only change her shirt and hair style. At the beginning, she had on blue under garments, but now it looks like she isn't wearing any underwear (though I'm not complaining :)

I've found 22 out of 24 clothes, but I can't find the last two. I don't know how to clean the computer so I don't know if the answer lies in there and I haven't taken out the trash because I don't know how to. I'd really like a walkthrough or some advice. The only item I still have is the fire poker. I used the hammer, book, knife, block of ice, and all the key already.

By the way, why is the game rated M?

[Cleansing]

I kind of disagree with the others. Why does everything need to have a story. For many art flash games, it's the unexplained motives that make the game more interesting.

As for the Evening Stroll medal, all I will say is that you can get through the gates without killing anybody.
