HipnikDragomir's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kill Lola Bunny]

What year is it?

Fantastic job on emulating the classic style, down to the shitty music loop. Thanks for the trip.

[Snake Nokia 3310]

Good stuff. I miss playing this bad boy on my mom's phone.

[Monster Manor]

I really enjoyed this. The style is super charming and inviting and the gameplay was involved enough to keep me going. More games with this style would be pretty gangster.

['Curse of the Sock']

Super charming. I love the visuals and the goofy premise.There are a few issues I have with it though: the audio is pretty weak (even for the classic minimalist thing), the controls are a bit floaty/sluggish, and the enemy tracking is pretty cheap and makes it unnecessarily hard.

[Adventures With Anxiety!]

The subject matter is incredibly cringey. I'm so sick of my generation playing the "muh anxiety n depression lol" shtick.

That aside, the presentation, visuals and idea of it all is very charming, and the UI is intuitive too.

[Newgrounds in 2019]

Lovely piece to add to the Newgrounds "About" or "History" page or whatever's appropriate. I wish it was either a bit more decorated or cohesive with the layout of activities (dress-up is okay, but quiz doesn't stand out as it should), and overall it just looks bland. Also the text's font and being faded is a bit of a chore to read. Anyway, the intent is there and I wholly appreciate it.

And damn, I actually recognised the first song. Good times.

Little-Rena responds:

Sorry! I'm not great with design choices sometimes :(

[Knightin'+ Demo]

The production values overall are excellent, save for maybe the music and control feel. What I personally don't like is that it's just a reskin of Zelda and I think it's kinda lame. You can for whatever you want, of course, but I'd push it farther into something unique that can still carry its influences.

Wolod responds:

I totally understand your point. I'll try to add more original and fresh elements if I ever start making a sequel to this game.

[Darkhouse]

I like the set-up, the controls for the main character and his design, but the levels, audio, enemies and environments are just really bland and lacking. Spastic enemies running at you, shooting at you, and generic platforming. The first section is nothing but grey and the many layers of bricks make it unclear what I'm looking at. As the images of later sections show, I can see colour themes for each section, but you can incorporate different patterns, colour variations, and ease up on detail everywhere. A promising start, here.

[Crab Dream]

This really has potential. I like the cute graphics, the "story", and the remix (along with the crab dancing), but it's obviously rough given the timeframe. If you'd like, I'd say you ought to work more and refine this.

Pachachos responds:

Thanks a lot, we're glad you liked it. It's not really refined or optimized because we only had 48 hours to create it, but we'll consider to work more on it ^^

[Shantae Meets Sonic]

I actually liked this. I thought the crass writing was hilarious with the timing and everything. Really should've made it longer. And, y'know, put a logo in the main menu.

StaticSkull responds:

I know, but I got caught in so many other projects, so I cut it short
