KobatoGames's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Piece by Piece (Demo)]

I'm stuck on level 5. The only way I can see to get to piece that can get to the door the door is for the player to jump off the shelf into the one piece with a bottom knob, then for me to pull it apart really fast, but the pieces don't come apart when the player is jumping.

Psonbre responds:

If you remove the bottom piece while jumping in the top one you'll be able to stay inside it !

[Alexanders web browser]

Cool, but I would highly recommend putting a white outline effect around the black text. I can't see it on the the dark trees.

Not sure how to fullscreen, but I've seen it in done with GDevelop games on here like Pico Runner. On another topic, I recently found out you can add Newgrounds medals to GDevelop games, which could open up a lot of cool possibilities.

[North Pole Noir]

Great mystery game. I never would have imagined you could turn the north pole into a gritty noir, though many of the medals don't seem to be activating for me. I solved all three cases and got a bunch of medals, but for some reason the only ones I'm listed as winning is "A Glamorous Tragedy" and a handful of 5 point medals.

@Axethrower Ruffle worked for me in Chrome, though there is a setting in Ruffle that allows you to download to .swf if Ruffle won't work on your device.

[It's a Shore Thing]

If anyone is wondering, yes vinegar is actually recommended by experts then and currently (2024). WebMD, below, explains what to do with a jellyfish sting. (Side note, rinsing with water actually makes the sting worse surprisingly.)

['Lair of the Missing Sock']

Game looks great and I am enjoying it, though I am struggling slightly with the controls. J to jump makes sense, but I don't always think to press it and hit Space by instinct and pause the game. Might get better with practice.

Butzbo responds:

Great to hear! Controls have always been a bit tricky for keyboard, as it comes to preference sometimes, but I'll keep this in mind as I keep updating to have more versatile options, thank you for playing! (:

[DuckJump]

Fun. I got to 98, hit the top of a rock and the game froze. Is that how it ends or a glitch? If it's not a glitch, I would suggest adding a Restart button or at least automatically restarting the game.

Oh yes, it looks like you accidently set the genre to Visual Novel, which is kinda the opposite of an infinite runner.

[ZS Dead Detective - Walls can bleed]

Ruffle's not letting me leave the office. It goes to the map, but the only icon visible is the office :(

Hope this gets resolved as Ruffle continues to get tweaked. They've come so far from only being able to play Flash 2 games.

[Escape the "Outside"]

Neat escape game. It was fun fiddling around this odd room trying to figure out what worked or at least did something interesting. Thanks for including a walkthrough on YouTube. I had the hardest time thinking to combine two specific items and can't believe I never tried it by chance if nothing else.

[University Quest]

I did not have an issue with only one level working, though it might be clearer to players what order play the levels if you put a number over each building. I did notice a glitch by the third level that the music seemed to be looping back over itself constantly, so that it was playing many times at once.
