iWTBAT's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Into the Deep Web]

The gameplay definitely feels solid, and it's actually a bit challenging. For a small game I enjoyed it quite a lot, and I wish it could've been a longer game.

What a fun little game! Had fun with it, and it's not too difficult. Music is also nice and doesn't detract from the experience.

I'm surprised how well can the mechanics of Ace Attorney be put into a RPG Maker game, although unfortunately it has its downsides such as the lack of varying graphics and the full-blown breakdowns that is characteristic of those games. However, the story seems to be quite interesting.

The case so far was simple enough that even with my dazed, almost-midnight brain I can connect the dots and solve it, but then again it's the tutorial, so people unfamiliar with the Ace Attorney games can even get the gist of how to play the game.

I'll consider checking out the next two cases some other time! I'll definitely share this around.

[Escape Game - Computer Office Escape]

Very interesting and fun to play, honestly. The puzzles weren't too hard to solve.

[Touhou Fangame ~ The Mirror's Illusion]

This game is pretty shoddy in quality, though I wouldn't expect anything too good from a game made in Scratch. Despite that, I'm surprised at how much you could put into a fangame such as this.

The controls are a bit wonky; for starters, when I go in Focus Mode, I can only move up and to the right, but I cannot go down and to the left.

The graphics are quite bad, not gonna lie. The colors are too vivid, almost like the brightness of the PC-98 graphics. The sprites are quite shoddy for those that aren't Sanae, Alice, or Reimu. The bullets may look a bit nice, I've to admit, but sometimes they just hurt my eyes.

The music started out kinda bad as well, but I was starting to like it just a bit when Stage 6 came around. Otherwise, it didn't feel... Touhou-like to me?

The story's kinda solid, I suppose. Despite everything, I feel like the story could be the saving grace of this game.

All in all, it's... pretty mediocre, but there's some potential in it if it was done in a different engine, with better graphics and spritework, and with better music in mind. Kudos to making this in Scratch, anyways; I was able to get up to the Stage 6 boss fight.

Thanks for the feedback! I will consider what you mentioned for my next projects.

[Tadpole Man]

Pretty eh. Controls are a bit slow, it's like dragging a stick through mud.

[BackDoor- Door 3]

Man, it's been such a long time since I've played the last game, and this was just as intriguing as the first and second ones! The puzzles are pretty easy to get through, though, but the building of a larger story kinda made up for it. The flavor text and NPC interactions are also charming and funny in their own ways.

[STOP]

Very nice puzzle game! Mechanics are clear, graphics are pretty clean and minimalist, and the levels are challenging enough to be interesting instead of frustrating.

also, nice level names lmao

It's amazing how you were able to give the gist of the situation here in the Philippines with a game as short and simple as this. I also admire how you put the detail to almost everything in this game: the changing of the typical "All Rights Reserved" phrase on the bottom of the starting screen, the little ditty that starts off every night, the gut-wrenching phrases the player character shouts in response to those being shot, and even the color of those who you're supposed to kill.

I hope this gets as much attention as it does, especially with the volatile state of Philippine democracy nowadays. There aren't enough words for me to properly give this the acclaim it deserves.

Snackbyte responds:

Thank you so much; it means a lot!
They were difficult to portray, but I'm glad you were able to notice and appreciate them for what they were.

[Mother's Day Ciphers and Such]

I enjoyed the game! It's quite fun, and the puzzles weren't too hard to do. I hope your mother had fun with this game as much as I did.
