Nijsse's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[NG Advent Calendar 2012]

An amazing ending of a really cool collab. I really enjoyed all the artwork. It felt like getting a new little Christmas present every day. Keep up the great work and I hope to see another one these fine pieces of art next year! =)

TurkeyOnAStick responds:

Hm, don't think another advent collab is in the making, since it's a pain in t'arse to manage.
Would LOVE to do a Chrismtas based art collaboration game, though, so fingers crossed.

Merry Christmas btw!

[Lost Catacombs]

Very well done

I had a great time playing this game. The levels were challenging yet nothing too frustrating. Some of the puzzles were really clever, especially the Zelda-ish ones with the ice blocks. The graphics are nice, they are just right for the atmosphere you tried to create, without being too serious. The level editor works nicely, so even if you beat the game you can still enjoy other people's creations, or create a level of your own.

Overall I think this game deserves a way higher score than it has right now. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to Lost Catacombs pt. 2!

SantoNinoDeCebu responds:

Thanks man, appreciate it!

And damn you're better then me at my own game, I'm struggling to get the last few gems on the crazy door level myself!

I am a bit disappointed with the response(or lack of) I guess. The game steadily declined after judgement with not much input, but hey. What can ya do!

[THE DAWN 2]

Good, but a bit too dark

Nice game, I really liked the atmosphere and the music. I enjoyed the somewhat harder parts, even though they didn't really seem to fit into the game. I mean, you're wandering through a dark forest and a dark cave, and suddenly you are in a mine cart Donkey Kong Country style. I would've liked to see some more puzzles and maybe a nice storyline, but I definitely enjoyed the game. I think I do prefer part 1 though.

The only real point of criticism I have, is that you made the game too dark. Yes, it does add a Halloween vibe to the game, but this was the first time ever I had to adjust the brightness of my screen just to play. Other than this, keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to part 3!

NightDead responds:

Thank you very much for the contribution, I like these comments, help me to offer something of higher quality.

Have a creepy halloween!

Entertaining

After about 7 days of non-stop playing I finally got the 'Win without dying' medal. Like lots of people said before, this game is very challenging and addictive. It's amazing how you created those graphics using only MS Paint. The hardest part for me was to slay the dragon at the hilltop after you save the queen from the fire zombies. It took some time to figure it all out but the medal points are worth the hard work. Thanks for an amazing week and I'm really looking forward to the sequel!

Fro responds:

Has this game had medals that long now?

Awesome

Very nice game. I got hooked and played until lvl 17, then got tired of it. Very well done, couldn't find any bugs. The music becomes a little boring after a while, but not annoying. Good luck with your next games!

Casualty responds:

Wow! A guy who knows what he's talking about! I know it get's a bit boring after a while, but if you'd play 'till level 25 you'd die constantly. Nederlands power!

[King of Cursors: X-MAS]

Really good

Very nice game! Hehe, and very addictive too. Nice job, again!

GAMECUBICLE responds:

Thanks :)

Nice

Looks good! Very funny and very well done. I bet Tom will love this one. Too bad the music looped very bad. The music itself was good but it was annoying that the music stopped for a sec every loop. But apart from that it's really fun! Nice job!

alexsmolik responds:

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it. It's not THAT fun, but you know, just for the occasion. And yeah, I also hope Tom likes this little flash, if he ever sees it! The music loops badly? I'll try to take care of that ASAP. Thanks for telling me.
Thanks for the motivating review.
