KobatoGames's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Riddle Workplace (Beta)]

Don't know if you've already seen this bug, but I was just trying to talk to Phred and it sent me to the window along with Phil, Phred and the inventory.

a0l responds:

Sorry it's in beta, also it sometimes bugs and sends you to the menu or maybe in your case a different room, it does this because the disclaimer used to be an audio so you could press any key for it to send you back to the menu. I will fix this soon!

[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 !

['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! (:

[Pico Skate]

Fun game. I've played this many times now. Cool to see a GDevelop project that can connect with NewGrounds Leaderboards. If you add tap buttons for jump and duck, you could make this game work on mobile too.

Edit: @tydaze. Oh yeah, I forgot you could have the mobile controls hidden depending on the detected device. Very polished game.

tydaze responds:

The touch controls should appear automatically when playing on mobile

[2-Bit Explorer]

I got this error (edit: had intended to paste the error but forgot) when I tried to use save for the first time. I was outside Antoine's house.

Edit: It was a aways into the game. I had arrived, talked to Antoine, explored the areas outside the maze, slashed all the bushes, entered the maze, slashed the bush over some stairs, retrieved a small key and gone back to the area outside Antoine's house to save. I also picked up the poem and examined every item in the inventory while in the house.

I am on Chrome, not incognito. I also just restarted the game to and tried saving inside the house after finishing the dialog and save worked. No idea how the error could have triggered last time.

Fiddleling responds:

Hello there, how are you? I am sorry for that bug! I am trying to replicate it, so could you specify a bit on what happens? Is it an error message? Does the game simply freeze or does it just not save? If you could tell which browser you are using and if you are on Incognito Mode it would help out too! Thank you very much!

[Snowy Night Escape]

Edit: The 2016-18 games appear to be working in Ruffle again as of this December.

As of November 2023, this game and many others in the 2016?-18? range are going to a white screen after clicking Play in the current version of Ruffle. Hopefully they will be playable again in future versions of Ruffle. I remember how exciting it was when Ruffle was FINALLY running these Flash3 games.

selfdefiant responds:

Some games only work in the Newgrounds player. I do hope Ruffle will allow them to work soon too!

[Spooky Season]

That was great! You ought to tag it halloween2023 to be part of Newgrounds' annual Halloween event. That way, you can be part of the 2023 page and maybe even win a prize.

arudasics responds:

Thanks for your suggestion! I will do that right now!

[Climbing the wall]

This is neat. I guess it's inspired by the precursor to the Henry Stickmin games, "Crossing the Pit"? -- another short simple game focused on comedic fails as opposed to the player being smart enough to choose the "right" option.

Good luck on future games!

W0lfr3d responds:

Thx :)

[rick the block]

Fine for a prototype. It really could use some background music and a jump sound effect for the character. I've found the jump effect in particular can really add a lot to a game. I don't use Scratch, but you might check if they have some built in sound effects or check out OpenGameArt or the Assets section of itch.io for some CC assets. I've found OpenGameArt in particular to be a really good source :)

DonaldTrump1946 responds:

update try playing it now ok

[A Little Walk in the Woods]

The visuals and effects in this game were extra well done.

y-zo responds:

Thank you very much!
