Quest's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[ZenFish]

It's unfortunately really hard to see and really hard to catch anything. It would maybe be better if the fish were color coded, so it's easier to see what is prey (other than them just swimming away). Most of the time I just die immediately because I slam into a large fish as it lurches out from the dark. Even when I thought I was doing good, I just died to a fish that I couldn't see was chasing me. Also, it's hard to tell how much you're moving because the background is unchanging (maybe some repeating dark background structures would help, akin to Hero in the Ocean). There are some good things about this game. I like the mouse controls, they're pretty straightforward and responsive. The visual style is pretty good too, albeit a little plain. Overall, this is a good first flash game with a lot of potential, but at the end of the day it's just overly difficult as a result of the vignette and the behavior of the fish.

I do look forward to any revisions if you decide to continue developing this.

Thanks for the feedback! Original version (Unity) had bubbles. I was heavily constrained for time while making this version, so I leaned heavily into minimalism. I think I leaned too far, since most of the suggestions people made are things that were present in the original version XD

(Also didn't have much time to test and fine-tune it, which is the most important part of game development... ack!)

You're right that due to lack of bubbles, the absolute velocity is now impossible to judge. I was hoping that relative velocity would be all that matters, but I see how it can be disorienting.

Thanks for the encouragement. I would indeed love to keep working on this!

Buttons are infuriatingly unresponsive.

Edit: Is that the Land Before Time chasm?

[Skidder Dash]

Controls are a bit difficult to get used to, but this is fun. It has excellent speedrunning potential.

I love everyone's art together on a wall like this! The notes are a nice touch too. Music is nice and optimistic.

YOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS QUESTTREK

This is an excellent game! The art is cute, there's a decent challenge, and the combing game mechanic is fun. Final level is pretty difficult, but I'm not complaining. I beet (Hehehe, get it? Okay I'll stop) everything but the final level. I'll get it eventually. An explanation of what the different types of rocks do would be helpful.

[Escape Break]

Unfinished, nothing on the third floor.

[The Cube Adventure]

Good, but there's not enough content really. There's a single level with three diamonds, and it took me only a couple minutes to beat all of it.

[BlinkAndYouCrash!]

Colorful and fun! Good variety of obstacles too. Greed was what killed me...

[Duck Duck]

The AI generated title screen makes my skin crawl. Why not make something out of actual pixel art? Also, the dark level isn't very fair. The slimes should at least cross the paths of a torch once so you know generally where they are.

[Noob Clicker]

It stops after you reach the O2 tube guy.
