Arakjin's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Die for the Lich [v0.3.3]]

This game is awesome, I had some points I wanted to raise earlier, but newest update seemed to patch those.

I haven't checked, but in earlier version the rng (atleast in daily) didn't seem to be that rng, is the rolls tied to seeds? here it would allow cheating simply by refreshing browser and starting the run again with knowledge of the rolls.

MadNukin responds:

The rolls are tied to the seed of the run. But you wouldn't be able to play more than one run per day. There are workaround, but I'm not too worried that people will exploit it.

Great work on engine, for full game I'd consider changing health bar location to somewhere else than above characters head, or atleast make it visible only on combat. Melee attacks would be great addition. Also it wouldn't hurt if you could buy ammo for weapons.

Slam a good story and polish around edges and you'll have a real gem in your hands.

busypixels responds:

Thanks!
Yes, i thought about that too... i think when i finally design the HUD i will place it somewhere on it.
Maybe with a little doom-style image of the player (with more wounds when health is lower).

Kinda dull, gameplay works, music is kinda annoying, but most of all, there wasn't anything new. Graphic wise, not bad. that's 'bout it

[Barbarium]

Great game, too bad it crashes on me and after a crash I have to start from the very beginning.

Hypnohustler responds:

Weird, haven't heard of this happening before... I have to check into it.

[Unnatural Selection]

Fun little game. I did find a small bug 'thou, you can run over the edges of game from few places.
I can see that with little polishing this could be a great game, maybe some spells or something so you could attack with wizard also, deeper story, harder difficult level and more levels and this would be diamond.

[Johnny Upgrade]

awesome game. 'thou it is kinda short

[Horror Blocks]

meh

bejeweled clone with horror theme, keeps you playing for awhile but there's just something missing.

[Diamond Hollow II]

Addicting

This sure was addicting game, played it through...

still it started to feel a bit repetitive pretty soon and I think that the music is to blame for that. I'm not sure was there 1 or 10 music tracks that looped but they sounded all the same and dulled the game experience, if I wouldn't be so bored right now I think I might've only try this and stop just becouse of the music

[Pixel Python]

's good

'thou it's been done before, well not exactly like this but similar, without moving apples
