TLOSpyrogirl's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beyond Darkness]

It's kind of sad how suicide is really the best option... I think choosing to live should show Agnes living life in the future, and finding happiness somehow. Also I think the art could have been a bit more shaded. I also noticed a few grammar errors, and wish there had been more choices. But not many complaints here other than that.

[Lakeview Cabin]

I have nothing to say. This game is amazing. I mean you kind of spoiled my attempt to prank my boyfriend with that warning at the beginning, and I found nothing in this game to be THAT disturbing (then again I haven't been scared so much as occasionally startled by horror things since I was seven so maybe there's just something wrong with me), but still. That's the only thing wrong with the game... xD

I had trouble with some of the badges, so here's a badge tutorial for anyone who needs it. Obviously if you want to find the badges yourself you shouldn't read below. .-.

"Sauna"
First, take off your clothes. Take the bucket from the sauna and put it under the tap outside. Fill it with water by pressing X. Chop a log and drop it on the fireplace, then throw the water bucket on the fire and sit on the chair.

"Lawnmower Man"
Move everything outside into a building, then start the lawnmower and drive it to the left. It'll go faster if you don't sit on it. When it dies, take a stump into the bathroom, chop it, and pick up the key. Take the gasoline from the house and put it in the lawnmower, turn it, and let it go to the right now.

"Great Weekend"
First get the key from the bathroom. Then, chop the other log in your house right below the gun (make sure you take it outside). Take all four logs into your house and throw them in the fire, then jump into the lake. Take the gasoline out of the second house, then shoot the gun at the bottle. Take the bottle outside the sauna house and put it in against the far wall (so you can get out). Make sure the bucket isn't in the way. Finally, take the gasoline can into the outhouse and shoot it. EXTRA: For an interesting glitch, leave the game running or press O. The wife will still come for you and break through the outhouse door even though it's burned down, before immediately dying.

"Hunter"
Either chop a log above the trap on the other house or carry something big below it. Throw something at the trap (slightly after passing the lawnmower, press X) to close it, then take it near where the deer is. Throw it (don't just drop it) to set it, go in your house and back out, and chase the deer. Chop it up with the axe then drop its meat in a fireplace. (I think you can also just shoot it with the shotgun if you'd rather do that.)

"The End"
There are many ways to do this but here's what I think is the easiest: First place a log in your house, near the fireplace. Then go get the axe and cut the generator wire. Take the bucket and fill it with water then press O to summon her. When she is standing on the wire, throw the water at her then cut her with the axe until she's dead. Quickly run to your house and put the log in the fireplace, and wait for the fetus to come for you. (If you don't want your door to be broken just stand outside.) Press Z to pick it up; it will wriggle out of your grasp every few seconds but you can keep picking it up to take no damage. Go in your house and throw it at the fire. (Keep in mind you can't just drop it like a log, you HAVE to throw it.) If you messed up and forgot to put the log in the fire, throw the fetus in the lake to buy you about 30 seconds then go put the log in.

If you want to keep playing, while the fetus is burning in the fire (or if you set a trap in your house and throw it at that instead), go lay in your bed. The fetus' music will continue to play forever, and will get louder whenever you go near the fireplace/trap as if it's still alive, and "The End" will be plastered over the screen, and there's not much left to do anyway... but you can stand naked on the pier and get drunk and not have to worry about your wife and unborn baby that you probably murdered coming to eat your face! What's not to love?

[Caretaker]

For some reason I find this addictive. o.o There's not very much to say. It's a good little timewaster for a bit but it's not really a game game, and I really only kept playing to get high on the leaderboard. The sound effects are nice too. So solid 3.5.

[no-one has to die.]

This game is seriously broken for me... it has been since I first played it. It started with a black screen until I click off the tab, then it gets stuck on "loading sounds" until I click off. I can select one of the level branches, but it freezes until I click off. Then a black cutscene with nothing but music and a skip button. Same for all the cutscenes in the game. The game itself works fine, but at the end of each level it won't move to the cutscene until I click off.

At first I thought it had something to do with Pepper Flash (some games on the site screw up if it's disabled) but it's the same whether it's on or off. I'm on Google Chrome and everything is updated fine so I really don't know what the problem is. And apparently this game is the best thing since sliced bread but I can't see any of the story. .-. I really hope this gets fixed...

I'm just giving it 0 stars because I can't really play it to rate it, not because it's bad. The gameplay itself is okay, I'm not a fan of puzzle games but I know the point was more in the story than in the game itself. I'm sure it's more meaningful when people die if you actually know what's going on.

[You won't tell anyone?]

That was pretty sad... I think it was a little too short though. A full game taking you through the girl's life and allowing you to make various choices that affect the outcome of her life would be interesting. The only thing wrong was the weird character models, lack of animation, wall clipping, and the fact that you only have a shadow for your arm in the last stage. Other than that there were no problems. I liked it.

[The Grocery Store]

This was a cute little game. I liked it. Short but sweet. >w< A few problems/critiques: It would be cool if the characters at the side blinked, just a little extra detail. I noticed their clothes and eyes changed sometimes, which was nice.
If you click Retry after clicking through to see Ren's reaction to the food, it takes you all the way back to the menu instead of the vegetable selection. (You can still get the medal so it doesn't really matter, but.
Also I have no idea why, but the Games/Videos/etc drop-downs are going under the game. I don't know if that's something to do with the game or what. o.o

Anyway, cute game. :P

[Infectonator : Hot Chase]

I really liked this game. Being a fan of the series, it was a refreshing change. :P There are a few problems though. For instance, you can't use the coins you collected on the run to get a replay? And you should automatically use up your boosts if you're about to die, I get so annoyed whenever I die and have like five boosts left. .-. Other than that, it's a pretty addicting game.

[Fate Machine 1.0]

I am easy-to-please Darwin, the acne-ridden sun-eater, and my destiny is to slapfight with France.

The acne-ridden part is true at least... >.<

[Pixelo]

So far this looks really great! The easy puzzles are, well, easy, but I'm sure it gets more difficult later. The only problem I can find with this game is that it would really help if you made your selection on the menus highlight when you hover over it. I don't know why that bothers me but it does. >.<

[Road so far]

Alright, so I hope this helps you out. Here are some things that needs to be fixed:

-The characters need shading. They look really out-of-place with the detailed background.
-The light foggy/cloud backdrop has a seam. You should lighten the left edge so it's continuous.
-The edges of the level need an invisible wall to stop you from falling off.
-Runes are pointless... I'm not really sure what you should do with them, maybe give you a level-up function, consumable powerups, or unlockables? Or maybe a secret ending if you collect enough. However runes disappear when you die. One thing that would work while still keeping this mechanic is invincibility once you collect a certain amount.
-Your total rune count completely resets to 0 when you die. If you plan on giving these things a point, you should fix this.
-You can jump up one wall forever, so wall jumping is pointless.
-The demon hound's chase AI is kind of silly. Them committing suicide makes sense, but they don't turn around if you jump over them.

Finally, the squares on level 8 is WAY too hard. I had to stop playing because of them, after spending about fifteen minutes barely even to get past the second one. You need to make the ceiling shorter so you can see where the edge of the square is, because I got crushed by miscalculating where the square above me was going to come down about a million times. Also, the "safe" area between squares was too tiny, it literally seemed like if I went any further I'd walk into the next square's hitbox, but I still get crushed.

All I can really say at this point is to tone down the difficulty just a little bit, and fix the other issues.. It looks like a good game and it has mostly nice graphics but it needs some work.
