KoniWorx's game Reviews on Newgrounds

Hah! I love how much attention to detail there are in each choice!
I keep thinking "now I've must have done it correctly", and yet, you catch me every single time.

Great job on a short point and click adventure. Although, I can clearly see what other game this is inspired by :)

One thing I think you could have done better is to have the descriptive text above the mouse as you point on the object. That way the user won't have to look over to the corners as much. Either that, or have the text under the timer. Otherwise you'll dart around left and right too much.

Thanks for the feedback! I actually originally tried attaching the text box to the mouse and it was really distracting so I put it at the top. Curious what you think this game was inspired by (I was thinking of "Don't shit your pants" when I made it)

Visually and conceptually this game is lovely. It's polished like crazy and has a lot of juicy game-feel things.

The reason I'm still not giving this a full on 5 score is because I find the gameplay to be really monotonous. There isn't much that breaks up the gameplay patterns in this game, except for the leveling up which still doesn't change up the experience all that much.

You jump, mash one button, move away, repeat. It'd be great if you could pick up stuff, throw it at the bosses. Perhaps even parry bullets or something. I understand you guys wanted a very pure experience, with one action button doing everything. It's just that the gameplay around it is as simple as the inputs.

Gameplay aside, it's still like I said a really well made game that looks and feels great. It just didn't keep my attention.
