Quest's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alchemy of The Broo]

I have feedback. This is a cool idea, but it needed so much more polish, and just more stuff in general. The first thing I noticed is that you can go off the screen infinitely as the little black square. Why wouldn't there be borders? The whole method of collecting ingredients like that is tedious and boring too. You could make it a larger map or maze that you can explore to find the ingredients, so there's a bit more variety. The brewing system doesn't work well. Several times ingredients would get stuck or wouldn't go into the cauldron. The trial and error aspect is annoying. It's like struggling to remember crafting recipes in Minecraft. This game could really use some progression. Make the gold have some sort of purpose other than a number. Add mechanics that allow you to forage quicker, like a magnet. You can spend gold on larger cauldrons that allow you to create more complex recipes. There should just be more to this. Games don't always have to have an end goal, but they should have progression of some kind. This is what I meant by borderline shovelware. This is a great idea, but more needs to be built on it for it to be worth my time. You need two things: more mechanics and more polish.

That being said, one thing that I liked was the art style. It's simple and flat, but honestly really fitting for a game like this.

Thanks for your detailed response I will update soon!
Edit: Fixes made check it out

[Pac-Man Revamped]

I second that, the power pellets are very buggy and make the game incredibly unfun to play. The ghosts' AI is a bit strange too. Also, I know this wasn't designed to be completely accurate, but you could have at least made the points for eating ghosts correct. (It's 200 for the first, and doubles for each successive ghost, ending on 1600.)

SuperGibaLogan responds:

i tried to make the ghosts points correct but i also wanted to make points for the pellets, powerpellets, and fruits, but the ghosts points didnt add up well so i had to change it

[Gabin's Big Al Quiz!]

Gonna be honest, I read that as AI (artificial intelligence).

awesomeal82 responds:

this happens a lot

[STUPIDQUEST]

Stupid? Gee thanks.

All jokes aside, I like the story you crafted and the variety of endings. Only critisism is that there should be a way to go back one step instead of starting everything over.

microwaved-forks responds:

Ooh, i never thought of that! Thanks for the suggestion :D

[Do You Know? School Shootings]

I wish I could say a gun threat never happened at my school, but I would be lying if I did. Good information, good presentation. Mild criticism though, eventually you can just start spamming "true" in the US question set, although maybe that's just a good indication of how bad the problem is too.

applessmillion responds:

Appreciate the response - and yes halfway through making the questions I realized I wished some of the questions weren't true. I felt that having the reality that this stuff happens and isn't something I came up with to 'stump' you in a quiz is worse in a way.

Personally, I graduated from HS in 2015 and got to live through active shooter drills. Got to experience the fallout form bomb threat written in a school bathroom. I thought it was something weird then, and seeing how more and more common it's becoming it is horrible.

[Forest Run]

Nothing really happens, shouldn't have been uploaded at this incomplete of a state.

Edit: If you knew it wasn't finished, why did you upload it? It doesn't need much more to be basically complete. You just roll a few logs in different patterns from each side points go up for how many you dodge. Boom, you have a perfect little game. The reson I scored so low is because you can't do anything. The "game" part of the game is missing. There's nothing to do. It's misleading to anyone that clicked in expecting something to play. You can still update your game though. The scratch game that I uploaded two years ago was recently updated for optimization. You can update your game at any time, so you can still fix this game if you want to.

LiamBlueBlitz responds:

BRUH, ARE ANY OF GAMES GOOD TO YOU? This was OLD. This is why I quit.

[TERRORISTS ATTACK [UPDATE]]

Didn't work very well. His health just went down into the negatives after hitting zero. Not much gameplay either; you just spam click. No idea what you meant by secret ending. Also, 2009? You made this back on Scratch 1.x?

LG-studios responds:

i accedently typed it wrong .... dident notice it till now i meant 2019

[PROJECT JAM]

I really love the story you crafted. Theres a lot of depth and lore to unpack, most of which I don't understand yet. One piece of feedback though: The hallway is really empty at the moment, to the point of it being boring. Maybe spice it up with some pictures or furniture.

Edit: What were in those normal pills... (:

jakekleiner responds:

spoiler:room is empty for a reason
and there was zaza in those pills /j

[blockland (BETA)]

Fine game, but it has it's fair share of glitches and odd behavior. It has a decent art style and platforming. However, I hate all the invisible walls and blocks policing where you need to go, and it's super jarring running into them. Also, as soon as the game started getting intesesting, it ended. It was only two levels. I understand that this is a beta release, but I feel the game should have more content and bugfixing before being published. The replay button at the end doesn't work. Also when you die on Level 1, you respawn on Level 2 for some reason. Not sure if the misspelling of "you're" was intentional or not, but it just felt off. Everything is really quiet too, why not add some sound effects?

All in all, you have a good game, but it's held back by bugs and a lack of content.

ScuffedGames responds:

Ya it’s kind of glitchy. I kinda had a harder time playtesting also last time I put sound effects in construct it broke my game
