Gooch's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spells&Orcs]

Nice game. It does make you think a lot after the intro levels. I like the fact that you do have so many things you can do in any given level, and there's a limit in doing so with your mana. I guess that's the mage way though, right? Anyways, it's a fun game, done well in the animation style, and a concept that is in no way boring.

I like the peggle-styled games, and this one is a fun version of it, as well. The levels are designed well, and it does present a bit of a challenge, too. I guess if there's a small thing I have to critique, it's that the stars for the points you accumulate doesn't feel like a necessity for the game. Passing the levels seems like enough of a challenge as is, but I understand that it poses another aspect of the game to try to complete. Overall, good stuff.

[GOBO the tiny robot army]

The concept is there. The controls are easy. As far as graphics and animation, it's a little choppy. Having said that, it's still a game that does capture your attention and is fun to play.

thanks for review (:

[Puppy Stew]

Wonderful game. It's one of the better pixel games I've played, to be honest. Lots of different, challenging games. The game had a great concept, as well. I completed the game, but had trouble with the last two medals. They didn't pop up when I completed the last two tasks to get them. That's not a point dinger, though. I thought this game was tremendous overall.

[Cupcake Empire 2]

I love idle games, and this one is right up there. I like having more interactions besides just collecting cupcakes, and strategically spending your money is important with having to pay your taxes, too. Overall, nice game.

You have no idea how good it feels to see those words right now, this is one of my biggest games, and my first time developing the last touches of a game. I really didn't make this game because I had to, but because it was fun. It feels really rewarding, thank you man.

[They Live: The Game]

Awesome game. Captures an iconic scene perfectly. Fun as hell, too. RIP Rowdy Roddy. Nice work.

deathink responds:

Thank you very much Gooch.

[Escape Run 2]

I liked it a lot. The game itself is quite challenging. Once you pick up the patterns, then it becomes a little easier, but timing is still everything even after that fact. Good, simple design for the game. And I thought the music was quite fitting. Overall, great stuff.

[Insert Coin]

It is quite the challenging game. Simple, yet fun. I do love the 8-bit style. Great stuff.

Note: I got eighteen points on one of my attempts in the game, but I didn't get credit for the medal. Possibly broken? I'm not sure.

drludos responds:

Hi, there was indeed a bug preventing you from unlocking the third medal (There was an erroneous blank space after the name of the medal in my code, so the API wasn't able identify the medal when you unlocked it).

It should be corrected now, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for reporting it!

[Saved by the Bell]

I love your concepts with the play on words, Munguia. They always make for a fun, playful concept. As far as this game is concerned, it doesn't disappoint in that category. The game itself was fun. I admit, the movement was a little difficult to keep with in avoiding some of the obstacles, but it wasn't too terrible. Still easily manageable, once you get a grasp of it. Overall, fun stuff as always. Keep it up!

[Cucco Chase]

It was a really enjoyable game. Challenging, exciting, and the concept was fun and simple.
