GameSmashDash's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Battle Pong]

Okay the gameplay is solid, even for a simple concept you do a lot with the idea, and you don't overplay or under play your hand here. Mad respect bud.

[Hoseki and Sayeko in Space]

Okay the controls are dog sh*t, this is as if it's made by a child. There is no way in hell you're 38. Why is it that we keep letting little kids onto these platforms to make horribly coded, long loading times only for this; so inefficient it's not even funny, and so little effort put in to making sure the controls work.

The collision is even broken!

bro I made this on scratch with little to no experience why are you so mad XD I'm in highschool dude. it says You're 23 on your account but acting like an elementary schooler over a children's game like chill out

[Happy New Year!]

Look, I get you wanted to make something funny; but... eh, the jokes fall flat. In choose your own adventure stories you need good writing, even in short simple ones like these.

I'm not going to lie, the writing is dull, the jokes don't land, and no this isn't because of the political red pill stuff or whatever. Heck, this isn't even offensive, it's bland.

I get that your username is Gimmick but this... sure it's a gimmick but it still needs to be good, unless this being bad was the gimmick??? Idk what else to tell you for any critical feedback.

No actual thought, and effort put into this.

The ripped/ simple art which as you point out to me breaking the rules is bad so you might want to take this down, I mean you've been a stickler for the rules yesterday so why stop now? I'll have to report this otherwise, the last thing we need is copyright strikes hitting Newgrounds now do we?

[Sunday Night StrawberryClockin']

Look; it's not a bad idea, and I know this is a game jam. However a couple things,
1. It lacks any actual rhythm game mechanics besides the very first one, no jack hammer notes, complex patterns, no precise combo stuff just a simple combo system, I see this as a youngster trying his hand at figuring out how to make games which I can respect.

However; I'm not going to lie, nor am I going to be blunt, and straight to the point, try to soften the blow a little as it were.

I will say this; the key pressing aspect was programmed good! The music was good! The reply button thing was funny! The gameplay was meh.

Which puts this at a generous 2.5 out of 5 stars.

[Pee Man vs the Monkeys]

Okay this won't let give much problems to lay out but;
1. annoying music
2. overly simplistic controls; your game is more on the casual side I get that, I can't dunk on you too hard but personally it's overly simple.
3. the art style; my god you could've chosen a better design, it's not the art itself is bad but it's hard on the eyes.
4. The levels are too fast for how you actually beat them, I mean why is it that the levels effectively complete before even actually defeating all the monkeys, it just seems like a passive objective.
5. The lack of any actual sound design being any form of feedback, Megaman has his shots for an example, and the sound of the hit landing but with this it's a noisy mess that's an assault on the ears.
6. Simple squares???
edit: 7. to expand upon my problems with this is the fact it's overly simple gameplay elements that feel bare bones, lacking any actual content, nothing of actual meat to sink your teeth into, and instead just little to no actual actions to perform.

It's weak gameplay lacks any actual fun to it, it's limited ammo system forces you to think with your weapon but not really needed with the fact how passive the given threats are, making it where going out of your way to hit anything is useless, you'd have to go out of your way to actively waste it.

That, and dealing with literal moving waves isn't creative, it's lazy, slapped together, and lacks any meaningful gameplay with how bare bones, and basic it is. Even having an un-attackable threat such as the squares makes the gun less of a use, making the moment to moment gameplay focus more around your movement rather than your actual tools at hand which is boring.

With this factor in mind it's mind numbing, and repetitive with no real change to gameplay, even pong has more depth with it's gameplay.

This feels like a game children would enjoy; and perhaps I'm not your target demographics so my criticism might not apply but still I might be saying something correct at the very least.
EDIT:
YOU wanted people to be giving feedback, I was straight to the point, and honest. I didn't insult you, I EVEN SAID, "I'm probably not your target audience" say what you will but I'm not attacking YOU personally, on twitter YOU asked for criticism but as soon as you get you decide to attack someone, yeah I don't like galatica or whatever it's called.

Hell criticize MY work instead. You don't have my respect, I've played one other game of yours, and you seem like a good game designer when putting your effort in the correct direction. I hope you make more games in the future, and NOT attack people for giving you what you literally asked for.

Edit: here, 5 stars for you

thanks, i'll be sure to make my music more annoying just for you <3<3

edit:
dude, chill. this is just a game made as a joke moments before pico day ended. thanks for your feedback, but i don't think it'd actually help since it's just a silly joke made from a podcast and this isn't representative of anything we make at all. if you expected an actual game with effort put into it, then too bad, go look at default's other submissions please if you want to give feedback.

edit 2:
you are unironically being the nerd emoji rn lmfao
