germy300's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[noOS]

It was fun while it lasted. I actually thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay, the ambiance, and the quirky dialog between the small guy and the big guy. I thought the dialog was funny.

HOWEVER, one main gripe I have about the gameplay is your limited amount of lightberries. When you run out, you have to backtrack to the floor of the level to gain light again. Then, you wait for a bit for them to respawn in order to get more. It just feels really tedious for me.

Oh yes, and then on one of the levels, I fell through the floor. And then I had to restart from the beginning. So I just stopped playing at that point. But I actually did enjoy it while it lasted!

[Don't Escape]

Great! I really love all your games. I really like playing point and click games like this too. On my first playthrough I barely saved anyone; I like the results screen that shows your actions and the decreasing stamina bar, I thought that was pretty creative, and it gave me a really clear indication of what I was supposed to do.

Also, this is a pretty unique concept in that you prevent your escape rather than trying to escape.

And I like your style of art. Feels really retro. It also adds a lot to the atmosphere of the game, as well as the music. This game felt really ambient and unsettling, kinda like your other games. However, I'm a total wuss regarding horror movies and playing scary games--I couldn't play your Deep Sleep. x] But I love what you create with your art and music!

Love your work. :)

[BackDoor- Door 1]

Simple and fun. Mysterious story and atmosphere that I thought was very (um, I can't think of the exact word right now...) interesting. Enjoyed the puzzles too. Wasn't too hard, but still fairly challenging. Looking forward to the whole thing!

[Infiltrating the Airship]

Great game! Loved playing it, was really funny. :)

Thanks!

[Bertie the Butcher]

Great fun!

I had a lot of fun with this game. It has a funny premise. xD Degrees in Murderology and Muderonomy. And besides that, the gameplay was fun and simple with a satisfying upgrade system. Unique concept with the blood-cleaning-up. And catchy music.

Overall fun and simple. Liked it.

[Ugly Americans]

Cool game, I had a lot of fun with it.

To be honest...I had quite a lot of trouble with this game. I had to resort to a lot of "mix that with this" over and over again, and "use this item on that person" over and over again. Not a lot of options were readily apparent to me. Could just be me though, never know.

Also, some of the items were not that noticeable to click... I resorted to tabbing through the game to find what I could click, lol. Again, though, could just be (I'm not very good at these games lol).

But still, I played--almost to the end--and had fun with it. I liked the game's atmosphere, and I liked the voice acting and in general just the whole game itself!

(*might be spoilers*)
Near the end though, I had the unfortunate mishap of experiencing a bug... It was almost near the end, where I need to find a new look for the Elvis zombie to find a chin for Randall. I went to the sweatshop and picked up some hair, but I accidentally clicked on the blasted side ad on the sides of the Newgrounds website... So, I navigated away from the page. Luckily the game autosaves, but when I came back, I found that I didn't have the hair in my inventory! By the time I realized this, I was already in the bar. I tried to go back to the sweatshop, but the option to go back there wasn't there any more! The location had disappeared.

So, unfortunate bug. :( Prevented me from finishing the game. But, oh well. I liked the game's humor and atmosphere, and enjoyed playing it overall, and I didn't even know this was a TV series. And, I like these kinds of games, albeit not being the best at solving its puzzles. Great game!

(Also, at the beginning where Randall says hi to Mark, was that a The Room reference? xD)

ClickShake responds:

Sorry about that game save bug! That type of issue is harder to find when testing initially.

It could be a reference to The Room, I'm not sure! The writers might have stuck that in there, but I hadn't seen The Room myself so I wouldn't know.

[no-one has to die.]

Great game! Had me hooked. My mind was blown by what was happening... And I liked the however-so-slightly puzzle mechanics that were put in. Unique concept. And the music's nice too.

Awesome game! Loved playing.

[A small talk]

Great game. I love games like this, text adventures of some sort. And the atmosphere was immersing, with the ambient music and compelling dialogue from LDAC.

However, this game felt kind of limited. And of course, you said it wasn't completed. I thought it should have responded to things like:

You cannot feel, you are a machine./Machines have no emotions.
(^He actually did respond to "You are a machine." with "Are we really that different?" But he didn't go further than that.)
Why do you like me so much?
What is your relationship to me?
You're selfish to want to die alone.

And I wanted some other possibilities like "Can I communicate with anyone else?" or "Can I fix the ship?" to maybe lead into some other paths into the game, and this would've extended the game, which I would've loved to play more of! :p

Overall great game! Which I wish could have been longer. :)

[400 Years]

Wonderful game! Unique concept and puzzles. Also great music to build the atmosphere. Loved playing it.

Cool game. Creative puzzles. However, yeah, I was running into a bug where if I dropped some frames, my jump would hardly jump high enough to make anything. "Boot strapping" was a creative exploit, too haha. Overall short and sweet with a pretty cool mechanic.

FYI: To boot-strap, for anyone still confused, first jump onto the clock and then grab and jump at the same time.
