Lathryn's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Knotty story]

A beautiful platformer that tells a great tale. You don't get these sort of games too often anymore. I have to admit, I primarily enjoyed the art and the background more than the gameplay. Mechanics are simple and direct, which is a personal favorite for many gamers worldwide, but something that annoyed me at times is jumping. Sometimes you end up falling short on a jump, and there is little you can do but watch as your character plummets to the ground. The other thing that makes me concerned was the tracking of the mouse. In some occasions, when selecting trying to select the option screen, you remain highlighted on the "Begin" button. However, I am overjoyed by the beauty and the stage it sets itself in. The music was also extraordinary. Definetely something I'd be looking forward to seeing in full release.

CrounchyBrothers responds:

Thanks for you nice comment. We will try to avoid the mouse target conflictual problem when you enter the game. We'll also have a check on jumping, maybe something is different with the keyboard.
Thanks for the compliments on art & music <3

[The Impossible Quizmas]

Oh boy, where shall I start with this time? A broken screen? A smashed keyboard? A destroyed mouse? Or perhaps annihilated speakers?

Splapp-me-do responds:

How about all four!?

[Dienamite]

I like this game. It has that simple feel to it, and it is pretty nice how you made the bombs also a danger to yourself, so, you gotta handle with care. I would love to see people run a few bomb tricks within this game. But, the part that I feel unhappy with is the blood. Usually, it's better to have blood splatters to be highlighting the top parts of the blocks, and not fill up the whole block completely. It's still that nice and simplistic game that some people will like.

Aviv360 responds:

Thank you and I agree that the blood should not fill it up but I could not figure a way to put the blood on just one side. If you know a way to do this help will be welcome(i am using game maker 1.4 pro).

[UnderChat Official (2.18.9 PATCHED)]

It's nothing too big, nothing too small. Except, the servers, because you'll first see that it's pretty empty. And, not to be mean, or anything, but there are also chat portals in the community section, where they're also free to talk their wishes.

All in all, it's simple, and has a nice feeling towards it, despite there being a main chat system.

EX3StudioOfficial responds:

Well, we just wanted to make a chat dedicated to undertale fans themselves, and we're working on a BIIIG UPDATE just as we speak. Aaaand, we're (of course) adding many new features and easter eggs!
Oh, by the way - why don't you try naming yourself as a character from undertale and see what happens? (e.g. sans or papyrus)

[Flatwoods]

Unique animation, simplistic style of gaming, and impressive soundtracks. Truly something that really is interesting. Great job!

Gerkinman responds:

Thanks, I am glad you had a good time with it! :)

[Adventure Quest!]

Innovative game. Must be an excellent reference to obey and disobeying games where the narrator is trying to control the story, but the player shows that they also have the power to control the character. Not too bad, even though it was short.

punkfruit responds:

it was more a reference to the stanley parable, but thank you!

[Love at first bite]

Very impressive story! I don't see too many of these anymore, and the entire ghoul-human concept is very interesting. Never have I seen such a beautiful game. However, I think the story is a bit too linear. Choices in the original story mode is something that could make up our own choices. For example, the main character can stay with her as friends, be together forever, or perhaps start hating each other, based on your choices. It is a bit like that in the dating sim, but the story mode could have had a bit more choices, and not a linear storyline.

KoltonKennedy responds:

Thanks!
I originally planned to put choices in the main novel but I abandoned it.

[Every Man's Refund]

This is gonna be regarded as game of the year, because it is a way better version of No Man's Sky!!

Skudge responds:

Thanks a lot ;)

[Fantasy Cats Shooter 2]

Great scott! This is one of the greater bullet hell games that I have ever played. Despite having a lot of grammar errors and sometimes the controls are rather difficult to understand, this game is an excellent gem. Keep at it!

ClemiNeko responds:

Oh... well! I'm glad you like it, thank you!
(And sorry for my English! ^^')
