Plasmarift's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[No More Table]

Guys, read the comments. They'll tell you exactly what to do (although, I agree that the game should come with instructions). You have to gather three bullets, stop, and rapidly hit the z button to load the gun and fire. It's not impossible, but it is hard. Here are some tips.
- if the guy is about to shot from the upper part of the table, move down. His shots go straight forward.
- wait until you are ahead of him by a lot and he starts shooting or talking before you load your gun (if I had taken another third of a second longer, I wouldn't have won it may take a few tries).

Now for my review. I think this game needs a back story and the movement of the enemy needs a better transition between steps, but overall, it was a good game.

[Cats astronauts]

I like the game. I'm not sure what everyone else is complaining about. If you want more cats, you can get them during the flight and the astronaut medal isn't broken: you get it once you've gotten as high as you can possibly go upward (though it is somewhat misleading since if you pass up saturn, you are already in space and should be considered an astronaut). you'll know you've reached it when the cat has on a space helmet.

[A Game in One Week]

I didn't finish it. On day 6, if you lose, you have to replace the tiles all over again. There should have been a button that asked whether I wanted to keep the same placement after I lost. It wasn't worth starting over another time.

Also, the "car" enemies are too annoying and the floating enemy dots just add to the frustration of looking out for them and the cars.

[Care Baby Bears]

Kind of boring. There are only two levels and the fact that most of the stuff that you have to do is wave an object in front of the bear is annoying. If you could make it when the bear is wet that you have to drag the towel over the entire bear for him to get dry might make it more enjoyable.

Also, the music pauses just right after the high notes and then begins, which distracts from the good quality of the music.

[I Like To Relax]

I'm sorry, but not even the medals in this game are worth playing it. If you aren't lined up correctly with an object, then you won't get anything for holding the spacebar and you won't even know it until five seconds after you've been doing it wrong. Adding a progress bar for the five seconds would at least let me know I need to move a little closer or you could remove the five second wait altogether. Also, there are times where holding down the spacebar on an object will allow me to continue gathering stuff, while other times I just get one thing and again, I won't know it isn't working until five seconds later. The game is also progressing at a very slow pace, I don't know what some of the "advice" does, and like others are saying, there should be more things to interact with.

The music though is very good.

[Sole Gunner: Mini (DEMO)]

It's hard to believe I almost passed up playing this! It is very good. Even with the screen being so close up to the character, it didn't take anyway from the platforming skills and timing necessary to beat it. I also liked the Pong boss.

You made these levels in a day? That is more than pretty good. That is fantastic. Compared to what I've been playing recently, you could call this a full game, but I'm still looking forward to the full thing. Though, when you make the full thing, try to add a story to it as well. It might make it even better.

SinclairStrange responds:

Don't worry there will be a story :) Aye the levels were made yesterday and the engine was made about a month back in another day. Thanks, hope the final version will please!

[Rainbow Crash]

It is definitely a cute game. May get boring for hardcore gamers and with the lack of danger and extreme challenge, but the art is very good, especially the crystals. However, next time, work on the main character a little more. The girl in the thumbnail is very attract and looks very different from the sprite (though I understand the detail will be different since it was a close up of a girl's face). Putting some of that detail into the main character could boost your overall rating from other people since it is what players will be focused on.

[Vermillion]

I liked the game, but the boos at the end is too tedious and boring. I could sometimes sit in one spot for most of the battle without worrying about being hit except for in the second stage with the homing energy ball. The other bosses were short and sweet, which was good. There is a lot you could have done to make it more challenging (I didn't get the Red Victory medal because I failed to look at them closely beforehand and I don't want to replay it to get it and I like medals).

Still, this is good for a project you did nearly by yourself. On a note, if you make another similar game, could you make it so the special I select in the former part of a map stay selected.

Also, I have no idea how to get the secret medals. I went to the more option in the menu and clicked on the links, but I didn't get anything.

Thanks, i know there are a lot of issues with the game but sadly i do not have the original file to edit anymore :/

[Switch Blockin' Man]

The game is good and i was able to finish it, but it slowed down on a few of the levels (especially pseudo snake), which made it very hard and frustrating to get a large amount of coins. Also, the jumping mechanic may need a little work. I found myself sometimes able to control the height of my jump to avoid low objects while other time, I could not. Also, jumps from underneath a block is a pain sometimes because I just hit my head and fall.

Still, I like the game and the coin collecting aspect. I wanted to turn everything in the level into coins.
