Aardwolf's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[King's Strike]

Could be good, but almost unbeatable. Did you manage to finish it yourself? How do you defeat those dragons in level 8? I have all previous levels maxed, but those dragons in level 8 are just unbeatable. This with the "balance changed" 1.1.A.

Half score in the comments due to this. Holding off entering main rating.

[DESEEDER]

Very nice and smooth game!

My only critique is that the locations of those hearts should also be indicated beforehand, so that getting them is a matter of skill rather than of gambling.

Zanzlanz responds:

Thank you Aardwolf!

I had the same thought about the heart indicator too. The problem is, with the current level size, it makes it too easy to get them. I'd rather just "train" players to shoot at walls as they come by, which is equally as skill-based, in my opinion. Plus, walls give points :)
All things considered, I THINK it's balanced alright, and has the intended difficulty curve.

But yes, incorporating skill into an auto-shooter was extremely difficult. Hopefully next time the theme isn't "One Button Controls" hahah!

Thanks again!

[Sprout]

Very nice!

One annoying bug: after I got the jetpack, I flew up from map coordiantes 4,3 to 4,4 (coordinates starting at 0,0 from top left) upwards into green slime, and now I'm stuck forever, restart just makes me restart in the green slime again, cannot continue.

Yeah I'm an idiot some times..

Good, but why does it suddenly end with you won, why not keep playing?

Also, the cooldown of the big monsters is horribly. If you want to spawm more, you need to select others. And simply the time lost to selecting others ruins it. Why not allow clicking on the field to spwawn smaller monsters automatically while bigger has cooldown?

[Cap'n Marcela's Winter Wonderland]

Yay! Two new games in a row! Thanks! :)

[FLOOD!]

Hi, the puzzle concept and the level design is extremely great! Super addicting.

But the way to place walls is annoying. It would be easier if clicking a square would toggle between wall and no wall. Then you would not need to constantly switch between "place" and "delete" tool.

And, the scrolling is annoying and unnecessary. Most maps would fit on one screen. They don't center correctly at the start of a level, so you have to switch to keyboard to scroll every time, which is annoying when using mouse.

But the concept is *great*!!

Hoork responds:

I am very happy that you enjoyed my game! Thank you.

You gave me a really great Idea! But I need to think about it. It can turn out, that your mode is more tedious than old one(for example, you are trying to delete walls, but accidentally put some, while deleting it).

I added scrolling and give a player a full look of level at the start, that he did not miss anything. I just afraid that interface would hide the part of the level.

Thanks for your advices!

P.S. use "E" on the keyboard to switch to the "draw"/"erase" mode. It's less annoying actually.

[Galaxy Siege 3]

Not bad, but annoying bug, twice it picked the WRONG upgrade after defeating a boss. I choose the rocket launcher, it gives a riffle gun upgrade instead.

[Katja's Escape - The Pharaoh's Tomb]

I love most of your games, but this one was too short and contained too many things the ancient Egyptions didn't have invented yet.

[Don't Escape 3]

Fantastic game, very suspensful, and the exact enjoyable difficulty level for me (puzzles that make real sense, no one-pixel hunts, but still complicated enough :))

Voting with a 5 in the comment, due to a miss-click on the other voting with a wrong number that is not undo-able while I actually intended to click the author's name :/
