Troisnyx's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Duck Catch]

For a game made in two hours, this is impressive. Mechanics work well and the music was fitting enough that it put a smile on my face. : ) But it can really get repetitive.... would I be willing to only catch ducks for two hours, especially with their random movements?

At any rate, great effort.

zephyr6 responds:

I'm glad the game made you smile! :) I added saving functionality, so you can take breaks in between catching ducks and doing whatever it is that we do in between catching ducks. :]

[Morra Even Or Odd]

Hey. I don't know if anyone does have the problem, but I'm stuck at the title screen and can't go further. Clicking or pressing any keys does not work. Can someone please fix this?

Otherwise, the graphics seem nice. I'll give this game a bit of a chance.

[Montezuma Treasures]

The game is bugging in Level 2: the treasures move up and down without us being able to match them. I do not know if this is intended or not.....

Otherwise, nice Bejeweled reference right there. Awesome graphics, pretty fun.

[Teddys Excellent Adventure]

This is one of the more outstanding simple platformers I've seen, mainly because it gives back a Kirby's Epic Yarn feel to it. The music is beautiful, the graphics are awesome.

My only complaint would be the bear's speed -- but otherwise, there is good traction, the controls are not slippery, and it makes for a good game.

Now onward I go to finish it!

[DANZZA]

I like the concept of animals dancing, but as a musician, this really doesn't tickle my fancy for a number of reasons.

1) Pretty much all the music I heard was this single, repeating drum loop. If you had challenges to different types of songs, and especially jungle ones, that'd have been far better. There are a lot of rhythm games here on NG that have actually fulfilled that mark, and I'm afraid this falls far short.

2) Being a musician, and having worked with rhythm for 18 years, I can already tell that the arrow placement doesn't follow the beat at all. There are some cases where I can hit Perfects on the bass and snare; other times, it just gives me a Good because the arrow placement doesn't follow the timing. This makes it no longer a rhythm game, but one which tests your typing skills to see whether you can get the arrow onto the placeholder as it falls. This defeats the whole purpose of the game, as well as the genre.

The aesthetics are cute, but otherwise, the game needs a lot of work.

[Snake, Just simple snake.]

One, this idea's been overdone. Two, you could've added some creativity into it. Three, there's only one speed setting, and it puts everyone off.

[Long Drive]

Good grief...

I loved the artwork and the BGM (they provided a pretty good feel), but the physics of this game is HORRIBLE.

You have very little acceleration and very poor handling on the car no matter how hard or how frequently you hit the Up button, and to make things even worse, you have those little obstructions on the road. Please, for the sake of us gamers, if you want to make the game at least playable, improve the movement of the car.

[Icons DropOut]

Eeeh....

1) The concept is one that has been used before, and hasn't been taken to a special level.
2) The music gets overly irritating because it's a short loop that goes super slowly and it just GETS to you after a while. Even Vs Kracko from Kirby's Epic Yarn looped over and over again for 15mn is better.
3) Whilst it does get challenging at around the end stages of Level 2, Level 1 is a drag.
4) The animations are quite slow, and they can be tedious for players to put up with.

The graphics are nice, though, and it's sad that whilst the graphics are nice, everything else is lacking. Please, polish up these aspects, and you'll leave gamers happy.

[Benito run]

Sweet. ^_^

The graphics are simplistic, but this game reminds me of NES' Road Fighter for some reason. Not bad!

[Soccer Word Search]

Great work. ^_^

It isn't everyday that you see word search games on NG, so there's something different. Great job! It's easy to play, fun to listen to and great to kill time.

My only pickle is that the word 'Football' on Easy Mode' cannot be highlighted (something goes wrong with it).

Brolyweb responds:

Hi TroisNyxEtienne, first of all thanks for the nice words :)
Second, your problem with the "Football" word is strange, I tried to play it and it worked fine...you had problem selecting it / the game didn't give it as "found" or with highlighting only ?
