goldenPiGames's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bogden, Who Throws Axes]

I don't even have much to say about this game, other than that the visual design and high-and-low contrast is a pain on the eyes, the text scrolls way too slow in both the opening and NPC dialog, half the boss's attacks can't reasonably be dodged, the boss music stops playing after the first death, and there's just nothing interesting at all happening for the entire game.

[Bulb Boy]

It's kinda cute, and the last level was fairly interesting. The main things holding me back are the player power/health mechanic which does not add anything to the puzzles at all and only confuses or causes annoying resets in what's otherwise a lax game, and that it lags badly even on my beefy laptop.

STANNco responds:

it is sadly a bit demanding, I haven't seen it run well on any laptop unfortunately

[Planetwo]

The low contrast is not doing this game any favors when it comes to the circle guide, especially when Midnight Block has both the lowest contrast and is one of the hardest levels.

[Ring Ring Bang 2]

The lack of sound or visual effects when the player or an enemy is hit really makes the game feel unimpactful. The boss fight alternates between an annoying in-your-face chase and a pathetically easy windmill. And what's up with the filter? It hurts the eye, both with the pointless colors and how plain ugly it is. Oh, and there's a glitch where reloading manually doesn't stop you from shooting so you can keep shooting forever unless you hit 0 ammo.

[Archibald: Escape From Misty Grove]

What's up with the camera on the final boss? I think being able to see yourself is more important that seeing the boss's ugly mug.

[Shal's Game]

"Fixed Glitch where if you die then fall into a hole then the game soft locks lol" it still does

Shal responds:

are you fucking serious what level

[PARALLEL PAN!C]

...That's not how steering in reverse works.

[UFO Blocks]

It feels like it goes from "waiting" to "out of control" too suddenly.

bluswimmer responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

[Nearverse]

this game might be almost playable if the enemy ships weren't the same color as the background

HealliesGames responds:

I have no idea what you're talking about: background is dark, ships have brighter colours that normally stand out. If you meant lights effect, you can disabled them from settings.

[Interdimensional Square Off]

Both of my attempts so far have been ended by an enemy spawning on top of me because I couldn't see the blue spawning square through all the pointless bouncing green squares. I have no desire to attempt again.

Peti responds:

You're not alone in that complaint and I will defo be taking this into my next game! Very sorry it ended up being frustrating
