haehyun's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lil' Jose's Build-a-Bot]

Awww

Dis is fun times :>
Hehe, I actually enjoy this very much and I get sucked in more and more when I unlock a new robot.
I love the stories behind them, the parodies are spot on.
Great design, no glitches, fun concept.
Only complaint is how slow Jose moves but I suppose you try to be realistic with the whole jetpack part. Though when he runs on the ground, he's just as sluggish. Idk maybe it's better for the difficulty of it all...I'll still give this a 10.
Kudos. ;)

DieterTheuns responds:

Thanks a lot, I'll talk to Tharos about the running speed, maybe he can fix it.

[Stealing the Diamond]

Hot shit

This was intense. I just played Escaping Prison an hour ago and decided to see if anything new was up. To my luck, you put up the sequel yesterday ;)
I dig the memes in the game and the gameplay itself. Plenty of humor which let me actually enjoy failing.
The animation was well executed and the character design was pretty dope.
And no glitches. That alone, I'm ecstatic about considering it's a new game.
Music was fly but the voice audio seemed a bit dull. Dialogue was chill, voice acting was chill, they both added to the humor though audio quality could be kicked up a notch.
The medal menu was real rad though
Anyway, I'll give you a 9. Lack of save option and the audio affected the score but overall, you did super duper time hurrr
Definitely kept my attention. Kudos.

PuffballsUnited responds:

Thanks for the review! The only thing about the sound was I had to turn the quality down or the filesize would be even bigger.. So I couldn't do too much about that. I understand the save feature option though. These games are getting long enough now for people to not want to play them in one sitting.

Real nice but some glitches

I'm definitely addicted though I have to agree with everyone else, the elevator glitch is happening to me too. I found a way around it though.
I don't know if this was mentioned either but I can't seem to make more than 4 floors. I try to make a 5th and the game tells me that I'm not allowed to put a building there. Which sort of hurts the progress in the game.... I've just been sitting with my 4 floors, making loads of cash and no more room to spend it on.
And I'd be happier if the fast-forward feature was a little more...fast. Like the night shift for example, I don't feel like staring at my screen to see if the guards chasing the robbers on time. That s pretty much all I can do till daytime.
Overall, very fun game. Cute graphics, just some kinks to work out.

Nice design but flawed plot

This was beautiful. Cute atmosphere with a tinge of eerie and as it progressed the eerie got more and more prevalent. I liked that. I also liked the sounds and how crisp everything went. I liked the clever obstacles and even Mama who was most certainly the villain in the end.
Unfortunately this just seems really pretentious if you dont give an ending. That's the beauty of the relationship between a game and a gamer, the gamer does everything the game asks; run, jump, grab, etc. And as a reward for the gamer's good efforts, they are given a short cutscene. You see, the gamer doesn't ask for much, they want to know the developer likes making the game, likes their fans and maybe allowing the gamer experience the story the developer is trying to tell. I'd say this is just a bunch of cryptic bullshit covered over with good game design. Maybe you should consider collabing with a writer and just stick to programming and designing.
You can't guise the fact that you're basically just scattering out tidbits of information and appear as if you're artistic. Granted, an artist never reveals all, but this is just silly. Not even a hint there will be a second one.
So I'm sorry, but I personally feel jerked around for spending a good hour or so running and jumping and breaking my fingers to simply find out there is no conclusion. I don't care what sort of message you were trying to deliver, every great metaphorical story has an ending.
I wish I could give you a better rating but the things you're lacking takes off a big, big chunk of my respect.
Also, you have some color glitches going on in the credits.

AtmosGames responds:

Haehyun,

Thanks for your time in writing such a lengthy review :)

As for the plot, give it another play, then see what you think. I truly believe the plot I revealed was just enough, but if you don't think so the second time through then maybe you could PM me your thoughts.

Thanks!

[Monster Basement 2]

Dudee

Ok i tried to play as far as i could without walkthrough but heres the problem: There are no matches on the television set!
I really cant go any further in the game. blaaah

[Vorago]

Well...yea.

Im either dumb as shit or the game but I cannot for the love of god give jonathan the rope to make a knot!
Ugh i tried on two different computers so I don't think it's the system. idk this is frustrating. nice voice acting and animation though.
got a little scared until the aggravation settled in.

[Warp Game]

Fun but some glitches

This is really cute though the game's cursor doesn't seem to follow my actual cursor. I kept pressing the wrong button because it didn't move. It's not really lag though.
Idk I have a Mac so...
Still, the game portion kept me interested.

[Gretel and Hansel]

Medals not granted..

Splendid game though I can't seem to get two more deaths to make 10.
The Bee Death achievement and the Spider Death achievement don't seem to be working though I've refreshed and replayed a few times already. :(
Overall, it's a beautifully done game, I just wish the achievements worked.
Good luck with Part 3! I'm sure it will be just was great as the others. :)

[Level Up!]

Nice job..

This was fun. I honestly got chills when I got to the ending.
It lagged up after a while though, which was annoying since I didn't know where I was and ended up landing on a monster.
Also, I collected the 450 gems and never got a "radar guitar" ? Was this a joke I wasn't aware of? :(
I spoke to Nails and then tried everyone else. What in the world is a radar guitar anyway?
--Anyway, overall this was cute. Wish the Guitar quest worked though, I wasted a lot of time collecting the gems and trying to talk to people but it was too late and me day ended. : /

[Tower Battle]

Hmm

It has some glitches but fun overall.
At level 2, I was in maybe the 10th wave and the artillery units were attacking me. I was clearly hitting them but they weren't losing any HP though I was getting damaged.
I also wish this went a little faster for the first few waves since I'm just trying to rack up points for bigger weapons.
I'll give this a 6. It's still fun to pass the time.
