Monkius's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Christmas Gifts Push]

"Nothing too new or interesting"... I've seen this kind of game a lot before, but it was cool of you to put a Christmas spin on it so I could have some puzzle time during the holidays.

I'm not sure if I'm just an anomaly, but I didn't find this too terribly taxing. Maybe next Christmas, you can release a level pack with some more fiendish levels I can swear at...

duquekarl responds:

Yeah Monkius, this time the levels were not too hard. It's difficult to find a balance between easy and hard. If you really want fiendish levels and more challenge, try this previous game I made - SteamyBalls: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/610387

[One-legged man]

Level with the red guy. I don't get it. Then, again, I gave up pretty easily.

Also, I love all the ignorant people in the comments who don't realise this is a Ludum Dare game... (Okay, that's a lie; I don't love them at all. But it is funny in a sad sort of way, at least)

[You Only Get One SpaceMan]

Took me the longest time to figure out that I had to land on smooth ground, even though the ship didn't topple on the boulders and such... Lol... But other than that, this was great for a quickie.

xkoster responds:

Thanks for feedback! Ive changed the caption to 'land on a smooth spot'.

[Clumsy Robber]

A step forward in point-clickers. Even though the puzzles have bat-shit insane logic, it auto-combines the various inane items to form various other inane items /for you/, which is a whole lot less frustrating than trying to brute-force it. The downside of this is that you have to make it a longer game, because there is a whole lot less swearing-time. I felt like the game was over too soon :(

[Cyber Rush]

"I wonder why there was only one in stock?"
Probably because it's old as shit! :P

... But seriously, the graphics reminded me of TRON and the music reminded me of something out of Initial D. This game is like '90s-kid nostalgia (and having started kindergarten in the early '90s, I love it...)

The one thing that approaches a flaw is that the record barrier is a bit intrusive... I had one that was right before a volcano and was like "oh okay, just a record barrier, no need to jump" and by the time I realised... POOF. Shit.

[Good Daddy 2]

Good Daddy, my ass! A good father would just drive his kid to school in a Volvo or whatever, not take him on the most fucked-up parkour obstacle course imaginable, all in order to help collect some inane 5-pointed stars.

Despite the inaccurate name and bizarre, nonsensical plot, it's a fun game; the puzzles are entertaining and sometimes challenging, if you are driven to get all the stars for some reason, like I am.

Some puzzle elements can be tough to trigger properly though, like the dominoes in level 8.

[Rock Rush: Classic III]

Neat little puzzle game. It's nice that the player is notified that the exit is open, but it would be even better if we knew /where/ the exit was. I died when I had 82/80 gems on the first level before I figured out there was an "exit" I had to walk to... That was a bit frustrating, lol.

[Huantar]

Simple, yet elegant. Level 12 threw me for a loop, but when I figured out the solution, I facepalmed. If I had a "smart" phone, I would probably buy this. Looking forward to perhaps seeing more complex games from you in the future.

[Color Follower]

Level 30, What the F**K!

Please, please, for the love of god make checkpoints or something on the last level. I can get to the last level without rage-quitting; but /on/ the last level, when you get through about 5 "sub-levels" and then die because of a stupid mistake... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UU---

RatherRandomReality responds:

It's the LAST level for a reason, sorry buddy. Thanks for playing!
