AFasterSlowpoke's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Avast!]

it's a nice co-op defense game with simple but charming stickfigure graphics and a simple yet good idea that anyone can understand within 5 minutes. however, i'd prefer if the attack+fix/dodge+cancel keys were next to each other ("Z" and "X" instead of "Z" and "C"). also, nobody is online, although that's something that's not in your (the devs) control, and the game is still playable on your own.

JJGamez64 responds:

Yeeeah there was gonna be a shooting mechanic and the key for that would've been X. That didn't make it in and I kept the key layout for time.
And yeah this is more of a "grab some fellas to play with" game than something like Stick Arena. I did take extra time to balance the enemy and ship damage spawning for one player to be able to solo this game.

face painters throw paint at people all the time, but when i do it i get the police called on me and they call it "harassment" smh...

Actually serious review: it's an alright game and I can definitely see this game being front paged with some polishing and effort. I'd say maybe make the panic meter fill up quicker as it goes quite slowly and I'd DEFINITELY advise to replace the AI generated preview image (if it is one) with something along the lines of a screenshot of the game or human made art, as using AI generated preview images could turn some people away or make people think it's a low-effort game.

ThePropagation responds:

Hi, thanks for playing! I've changed the image and tripled the panic gain, I planned on it being slow at first and you can buy a panic multiplier upgrade in the Lexicon.

One of the problems I have is making the game fun right at the beginning, I admit it's kind of a slog until cops show up, do you have any suggestions? What do you mean by polish and effort?

[The Newgrounds KinitoPET Collab]

you should add the boris johnson note in the next update (it crashes your pc, encrypts all your files, posts your ip on twitter, AND gets you arrested) (it is the drake note's brother)

In all serious, it's a pretty decent parodic rhythm game. as someone whose played a decent number of rhythm games (beyond FNF) and plays them regularly, I'd suggest add these features as settings for a slightly better gameplay experience:
- Change offset as a setting: Basically a setting that adjusts how many milliseconds earlier or later the notes should appear or the audio should start playing. This can be useful for Bluetooth users (has quite a bit of audio delay) or if the notes aren't on-sync for the player for whatever reason.
- Offset wizard: Basically an automated way to determine offset that some rhythm games do. A simple drum beat or something plays at a certain BPM and the player has to press a key to that beat a few times and the game determines the offset based on when they hit.
- Adjust scroll speed: Basically a setting adjust how quickly the notes go up.
- Downloadable .exe file: Could help with lag issues?

Chris responds:

These are excellent suggestions!

We're looking to improve upon the engine and eventually release a sequel for the US elections later in the year. So any suggestions like these are welcomed and will be considered.

[The Skibidi Toilet Collab]

On a more serious note, I kinda respect on how you managed to get over 100 people (who i'm guessing are mostly gen z/millenials) to draw a skibidi toilet, but I also think you should make it so you can move with arrow keys/wasd so you don't have to drag your mouse.

TigerPlushiefire responds:

I draw the skibidi toliet pony, joining the collab rather than going against it.

It's a pretty neat platformer with a nice gimmick (the sticky platforms). However, the 4th stage is impossible because the second sticky platform is broken and the music gets quite annoying and repetitive.
Other than that, it's again a pretty neat game with a good chunk of potential, and if the issues were fixed I'd bump up my review to a 4 or 4.5 star.

Kiwsety responds:

I don't know if it's the level I'm thinking of (I'm too lazy to play, in my country it's 7AM), but the last sticky platform needs a little precision. I agree that the level for a 4th level is very complicated. And about the music, I DON'T LIKE IT. I'll try to see when I make a better one. Now I have 2 projects to finish.
Thank you!

P.S.: 8:38 - The fourth level is all good. I tried it. I don't know what happened there. I didn't find anything. Could it be the 5th? In that case, the last sticky platform is difficult.
