Aslanemperor's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Would you help me draw a picture?]

Wow... That was just awful. Sorry to be so harsh, but can this really be classified as a game with no real interactivity? The story itself is so boring and depressing.

[Promenade: An Afternoon Walk in a Park]

So, my rating has a good bit of personal preference in it, which is a bit of a downer. It seems overly "artsy" to me to the point of coming off pretentious. Perhaps that's the point, though? The writing isn't necessarily bad, but it isn't holding my attention.
On the positive end: The voice acting is excellent, the music is excellent, and the art is excellent. Because of these things, I ended up rating this high in spite of this not fitting to my taste overall. If my main critique was the point of your project, then you can consider this a resounding success!

StudioMadeleineChai responds:

(Tim) Thank you for your review! I appreciate your critique.
When I did the writing, I wanted to make the narration (via choices) as distinct as possible so that the payoff of the narrator being an actual character is heightened. The stilted nature of their "conversation" was intentional, but there was certainly much room for improvement before the voice acting phase of the project.

Hope you stick around for other projects!

[Shoot The Asteroids!]

This game has promise, but there are some major problems:
Firstly, there's no explanation of controls either in the game or the description. Generally you want to include something in the game that tells you what the basic controls are.
Secondly, the movement is jerky and awkward, which makes the game hard to play smoothly.
I like the idea of the change into a sword fighter, but I'd love to see a more significant change in the controls besides just that now his attack is melee instead of ranged.
Finally, a start and end screen would be nice. Currently, as I write this review, the game is repeatedly running and the character is basically suiciding into asteroids and enemies.
I'd really like to see something like this pushed to the next level! If could be a lot of fun!

Don't worry! Updates are coming soon!

[Dancing Baby: The Gif: The Game]

I suppose it's not bad? It works in a basic way. The song gets REALLY old really fast. For some reason the controls cause the screen to move, even when I'm busy playing the game.

[Up Left Out]

This hit the spot! Exactly what I was in the mood for. Nice puzzle!

[Only One Tower]

What I like about the game: The concept of moving your tower around is fun, and changes the dynamic of a typical Tower Defense game.

What I didn't like: Considering the limitations, the game is basically impossible. Enemies become more than you can possibly handle within a few rounds. The limitation of a single tower works against you. Also, what even is the point of the bomb tower? It doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Stopsignal responds:

Thank you so much!!
Bomb tower is a bit borked at the moment- shoots twice then gets stuck (can circumvent by just changing off and back to it again). However it's extremely useful, as it one hit kills blue guys and also knights.
Check out the spoiler section in the description for details on how to kill the enemies!!
In any case, thanks for trying it out!

[Panic Shopper]

It's ok, I guess. It's a little easy and repetitive.

[Swingin']

Great game! A little too easy to break off a limb, I think, but still really fun. Certainly a novel idea!

[Drug City]

Sorry, but this is SOOOO slow. The graphics are poor. The map lacks detail. The system is glitchy so that you can only sell weed. Half the time when you click something, nothing happens with no explanation of whether it failed. The one star I gave is because this has potential to be something good. Improve the game and hopefully I can improve my score.

Arensnuphis responds:

I am still working on this game I will keep what you said here in mind while I work on it.

[Coronavirus: Outbreak]

This is incredibly lazy. The game's basic mechanics barely work most of the time, and simply don't work at all in others. My character is currently surrounded and being attacked but taking no damage. The art seems to be just pregen standard sprites. Top it off with the fact that this has NOTHING to do with the Coronavirus and it goes into the realm of irritating.
