JME10135's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Infinite Road Trip]

More like infinite world trip.
It was an appealing and beautiful simulator. I did my best to try to crash my car but it is indeed very safe to drive. Maybe a bit bumpy but that could just be my driving style. After some minutes it went from something like 20 fps to 1 fps all of a sudden so I think there might be some memory leak.

I finally got all medals from this game. It was insanely hard. Sadly I don't feel any joy. Just misery from all failed attempts.

It has some cute graphics. I give it cudos for that.

The upgrade system does not really fit for this game. They are not many enough to make this game beatable for most players. If it is supposed to be a challenging game we would be better off to start fully upgraded so we can make serious attempts from the beginning in my honest opinion.

To beat this game is not THAT hard, but doing it without taking damage is. You need to have full health through all prior stages to get the medals for it and not just the current stage.

Here are some things that annoyed me:
In the second stage the boss can summon the three small spirits two times in a row and only take one or two hits in between. This could make the battle long.

After you defeat the small spirits in the second stage, the boss could keep hover higher than you can reach for a rather long time.

The small spirits spawn very suddenly and you take damage if one spawn where you are. They always spawn in the same order though so if you stay in the middle you can avoid them.

If the small spirits hit you they can easily drain all your HP in one go.

The boss at the first stage hits very frequently and it is very hard to get away before the next blow. Though you can finish it rather quickly with the best weapon if you keep mauling it but there is one attack that you cannot avoid by doing so.

The ghost that can be summoned at the second stage sometimes makes a turn after you have jumped over it. If you are unlucky it hits you without you are able to avoid it.

The boss does a seemingly identical pose when summoning a ghost and summoning lightning strikes to the point you see the blue glow in its eyes, but then it is too late to react. If it is a ghost you would like to stay in the middle but if it is lightning strikes you want to keep moving. The ideal is to move forth and back in the middle but then you need to turn often and you don't want to turn just before a strike. Though, this is a skill issue.

At the third stage it is pretty unclear which move the boss is going to make because some guestures are very similar to each other. Is it going to cast lightning strikes? Is it going to drain the mana from the totems so I can hit them? Is it going to throw blue fireballs all over the place? This could be pretty well predicted after a lot of practice but I often got caught by surprise by those lightning strikes.

I am not sure if I am supposed to be able to do this but sometimes I can get through the totems even if I cannot hit them (before they are drained from mana). I think it works best if I stand next to them, try to run into them and then dash.

Some attacks at the third stage can only be avoided if you are in the middle or at the far sides. The fireball rain can overlap the next attack and give you no room to dodge.
Basically what I complain about is the game being too hard.

What I liked though:
It takes very little time to start playing the game from when you boot it, so although you cannot go back from the battle without any of you losing, it is not any problem to restart it if you get hit and try to go for a hit-less run.

No major game-crashing bugs.

SOME PLAYING TIPS AND STRATS:
To keep your sanity, please consider not going for the no hit run.

If you do however:
Get all upgrades. You can farm the chest at the beginning. Just die and open it again.

Remember that you can duck! The only place where you actually need to do this is at the first stage when it shoots the lower laser beam. You can jump over it but that is much harder.

Do practice runs.

Try to dash to the first boss and just maul it. Its health depletes quickly and if it hits you with that fire attack just close the game and start it again.

If you get hit, really the fastest way is to just close and re-open the game. You can skip the intros.

The three small fighters are annoying, and they can spawn all of a sudden where you stand, but remember that they always spawn in the same order, so even if you cannot avoid the first you always have time to avoid the last.

Try not to attack the second boss in the middle unless it has a shield. You can actually hit through the shield if you jump at the middle, but if it spawns a blue orb just when you attack it you can take damage if you are where it spawns. Otherwise the blue orb gets destroyed by your mid-air attack.

The second boss throws three lightning strikes.

The third boss is very hard. I recommend to do practice runs before you try with a flawless victory.

The boss is going to alter between three fireballs and a random attack, so it casts three fireballs, do another move, three fireballs, something else, three fireballs and so on.

To damage the boss you need to first let it deactivate the totems so you can hit them, and you should hit all three heads in the same go to save time. When you have destroyed the six of them the boss lowers its head to let you hit it for a short while. Try to dash to it and jump into it from below to get as many hits as possible without getting knocked away. Try to aim at 2-3 hits but it can still cast attacks so if it does it is better to avoid the attack instead of hitting it.

When the third boss appears you should be at the far side of the screen and wait for it to deactivate the totems so you can hit one of them. Just be alert and pay attention if it is going to make an attack that can hit you. The lightning attack looks very similar to the move it does to deactivate the totems and I have not really a good strat for telling them apart more than maybe practice to the point when you can tell them apart fast enough that you can get away from the strike.

The third boss throws four lightning strikes.

While moving between totems the next attack should be the three fireballs attack. Wait for it and dash to the other side to smash that totem as soon as possible. Do not risk to be hit by an attack when you are at the inner side of a totem close to the boss' hand because you are very vulnerable there. Either move to the middle or try to get through the totem somehow. Moving to the middle is safer although you cannot hit any totem heads there, because getting past the totems doesn't always work and you can dodge the fireball rain easier from the middle.

While the first two bosses could be rushed through it might be a good idea to take your time and play through the third boss carefully. The reason for this is that it is a bit easier to predict and the battle takes a bit too long to rely on luck. Stay in the middle when you are not smashing totems and wait for the next attack if it is not those three fireballs. If you are unsure if the next attack is those fireballs or not it is still a good idea to be in the middle because if you are fast enough you can dash away before it hits you.

If you have a hard time and think you don't have enough to make it do more practice runs. Practice practice practice. Sure the game has many random unforgiving elements but most of them can be avoided. Not all though.

For a secret medal hint: Try the left way instead to avoid a boss fight?

I liked that little dance I make at the end.

Hi thanks for the feedback!
I will make sure to take this all on board and try make sure these issues are not present in future games. I am also impressed with your determination of getting all the medals too. Without criticism we cant grow so thank you. Happy gaming!

[Bandits & Barbarians]

You can get all medals just by playing the arrow dodging mini. If you choose to play competitive and make sure it shows at least 2 players online (a bug makes it 2x the actual amount) you will disconnect after a while and it still counts as a 'win'. You can rank up that way. If it shows 0 players online you wont disconnect automatically and may need to start the game again.

Sadly, even with someone to play with the actual game wont start. It just shows a 4 instead of a 2. I tested it with someone else but you cannot get past the arrow dodging mini so I have no idea of how the actual game is like.

You can get gold fast by dodging arrows and pulling gachas was fun :)

This was an april fool's prank, there is no real game only flappy bandit

Jk, but yeah this game is busted lmao. I don't know why matchmaking would be doing that, I'm able to get into a match. But the competitive matchmaking is kinda useless, I'd try just doing casual. Also like all of my games, some connections such as 4g mobile and wifi are incompatible with each other :(

[Creepypasta Collab 2023]

The game does not resize to the scale I zoom out to and the game window is too big. I cannot see the whole window at the same time.

Lizguy74 responds:

That happens with a lot of games on this site.

[chop the tree]

Add an axe and I will rate it better.

cloudcurriculumgames responds:

I FIXED IT

[Dice Hero]

YES
YES
I DID IT
Play this much and you get really happy if you win.

JackAstral responds:

haha congrats! i probably shouldn't have made a perfect game a medal, it drove some ppl crazy LOL

[Driftmania]

How do i delete my progress?
I got a medal that is not resending so it seems like I have made it impossibe to get.

EDIT: it took some refreshes. I even beat my personal scores twice, but now I have the medal.

EDIT 2: Seems like high-scores are not resending :/

EDIT 3: Sometimes it says that the ghost is on but it is not there.

POST-COMPLETE COMMENTS:
So I managed to beat all medal times. That Rainbow Rider medal is probably the hardest medal I have got from a racing game. The reason for why I do not have all times needen in the high-scores is that the high-scores do not resend. I have got all times needed in-game. The shortcuts felt like exploits. Sure it is always fun finding shortcuts in a timed game but in a racing game like this it feels like cheating. Level C1 was only possible under 40 seconds using shortcuts and I think also level B1 which I got a time of 40:23 in :)

The game is solid and a very fun racing game. The requirements for the last medal were a bit too hard imo (thinking of D2 especially) and the track for D4 is way too hard.

What is the purpose of level C3? Whole level no drift.

The backing controls are reversed which is not cool.

As said earlier I once got a problem with the ghost dissappearing (not goin back to level select. Just vanish between retries) but it has not happened again, so it is not a big deal.

By the way it is always good for any game to have a way to reset progress in-game. It could be for many reasons but mainly if you just want to start over fresh.

Frenchie14 responds:

There's no way to reset progress. Don't worry though, all medals for track times are resubmitted every time you start the game

[Wait in Line Simulator]

Neat and nice. I can not remember that I have played a game where you just wait in a line before. It was a nice simulator. Nothing that puts you in a bad mood. Very realistic. A bit dull just. I noticed that you never move forward. You only have that timer which tells you how long you have waited so far. The game is pretty humouristic that way. It could have used some idle animations though. The design with you being blue and everybody else red is nice. It is simplistic and clear.

CalamityGanon responds:

Thanks! I wanted to try and code the line to move but it would break every time I tried with only some moving and the others staying in place. Thank you for the advice though!

[Eat Spajeje]

Sometimes I come back to play this to feel better. Very few games I play again after I have done everything in them. Also very few games I play with sounds on.

[Day Dream Adventure]

Oww what time it took with searching rooms for the author's hat. Reached level 72 yesterday. Continued another two hours today from level one (probably because game cannot save in Newgrounds Player) until I finally found it in a hat chest. The luck factor with the items in this game is a bit too high. I wish there was an encyclopedia with all items you can get. It is also a bit unclear whether or not you unlock higher tier items as you level up. I read somewhere that you do.

The gameplay was good. I did not find any bugs and all in all it was a nice game. The delete save feature with the toilet should not award a medal. Though deleting your save is not a big deal in this game. The chests could have a random arrangement so that there is a different combination of chests the next time. I did not get many shirts or weapons since I always went for the hat chest. The fourth and fifth tier enemies were actually easier than the third tier enemies. That could be reworked but it does not matter much.

I do not like the penicorn as a hat. I mean the game should at least not be E rated. Maybe even A rated.

The six hours search for a specific hat wore me down. Otherwise I would have given a higher rating.

rhys510 responds:

Oh wow thanks for the feedback, this is a pretty old game I made and I wish I had kept the files to update It more but sadly they have been lost to time.

Thanks for playing the game and finding some enjoyment out of it and yes I agree the randomness Is pretty unbalanced and unforgiving. I might revisit a concept like this again in a future game :)
