LULZ64's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[OverSexEd demo SFW]

Not to sound like an outraged hormone-filled sixteen year old, but as an outraged hormone-filled sixteen year old, I have to say that the game's title is a bit of a bluff.

I noticed your Patreon page. It's nice that you're keeping your games free, because if you were charging money for them then you would be in a metric shit-ton of trouble. I managed to spot countless images from multiple anime. Hell, you even had that school stage from Persona 4 Arena in there.

I'm not exactly sure on how the law works, but I'm pretty damn sure that if you were charging for these games then your ass would be sued at some point.

Even if you never intend to have an artist to avoid copyright infringement, you should still consider getting one before the official release. This way, not only will you have the option of using this as a monetary benefit, but you'll also have an aura of professionalism within your game. If you are having trouble finding artists, there are some willing to help you on Newgrounds. Please consider getting in contact with them. For your sake.

Moving on...

The core gameplay is very "copy and paste." It plays just like how many other visual novel / hentai games play. But the factor that makes every game different in this genre is the story. In this demo there is none. Like, whatsoever. Seriously, man, I was close to falling asleep. Yet again, I recommend searching Newgrounds' forums for writers. (Hell, I'd do it for free! It's not like I have anything else to do!

And hey, I'm not sure if there's some sort of secret ending or special requirement to GET to the ending, but I've been playing up until Day 30. Now, something you may not know the answer to when you're making your own game is the very important question: "IS IT FUN?"
You may not know the answer to this question due to the fact that you're not actually playing it.

I can answer this for you: "No."

In games, especially this genre of games, you need diversity. People play these types of games to escape and have fun. Not to sit around and do the same exact fucking thing every single in-game day for five God-forsaken hours.

HOWEVER, I have a strong conviction that you didn't add anything special for two reasons: (1), It's an early(?) demo. And (2), You just wanted to give the players a taste of how the game works.

At the end of the day, disregarding that the title is a massive lie, I'd say there's hope for this project of yours. I only really gave you a 4 Star rating because I like you. You show honest potential. THAT, and because I assume this is your first time making a game.

[TL;DR]

Story's shit: Get writers (my offer's out there)

Lazy art: Get artist

NO TITTIES, MAN. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE TITTIES.

Gave 4 Star: Good dev. Honest guy that just wants to make games where people fuck a lot.

P.S. There's no Sexual Education classes in this game. Yeah, I realize that's not the point, but still. The title for you game is really good at misinforming people.

yes! this is a demo, next releases will be NSFW (which means a lot of titties!!!)
I have asked for help a lot but artists and writers who works just for their name in credits are rarer than unicorns :/
If someone wants to help, please contact me :)

[Range of the Dead]

Not to be a downer, but this game is literally just you shooting at things for two hours. Quite boring.

However, I like how it feels like you're slowly connecting all of the games together. I cannot wait for the (hopefully) climactic conclusion!

(This game is definitely going to be the black sheep of the series, beeteedubs.)

Evil-Dog responds:

I'd think Segway of the Dead would be the black sheep lol
Range was just a bridge mini game :)

[StoryShift]

This idea is SEEPING with potential. Personally, I feel there should be more comics, though. There's only, like, two out of the twelve-ish stories there.

Evil-Dog responds:

Me too haha but it's hard finding comic artists who will commit to a long story

[Don't Fall!]

It's fun to play with the physics, but after a while, it just gets really boring. It feels like you tried to make the 2D version of games like Sumotori Dreams, but it was impossible because of the lack of a 3D plane. The controls are also very poor for what you're asking your players to do. You mapped general movement to only two buttons: Left and right. You didn't even make a walking animation, you just let gravity take over and allowed them to slide all across the floor. There are games on LittleBigPlanet that handle this concept way better than you did. Try to improve this idea and then try submitting it. I think you will enjoy the outcome a lot more when this game becomes the next bundle of fun on NG.

Draspur responds:

Thanks for the review! I've never heard of sumotori dreams until now, but it looks pretty fun. Hopefully I won't come out defensive, but just explanatory. There is a lack of controls, but that's sort of the point, it's quite simple but with two players I've found it to be fun. Have you tried grabbing the other player?

[Chains of Fate HD]

Mate. Mate, mate, mate.....

Have you considered making a "lite" version? You and I both know this project is way too big for Newgrounds. Try making some type of demo on Newgrounds, then post a link to a download page. Otherwise, you'll just get more 0-star ratings on your game for no reason. Just consider it, eh?

skullduggerystudios responds:

I'm almost done with the lite version, just have 2 more levels to finish remaking then I can upload it later on tonight =D

[Epixel]

It's a simple game that could last for hours. However, I can't shake the feeling that this could be better suited for handheld devices.

Fullzop responds:

I don't want to develop on handheld devices for now, it requires high competences in development that I really don't have. I used TGF2 because almost everything is visual, so there's only commands to master, not hundreds of lines just for one movement.

[Completion]

So I'm reading everyone's reviews, and I'm starting to think no one understands the point of this game.
In any case, I think there's a nice message behind the money and the never-ending loop. Another thing, the silence seems weirdly appropriate, so keep it. Jus' sayin'.

(P.S. It's hard to rate an art game, so I just gave it a 2.5/5-5/10)

VinceB responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I would love to know what you think it is about. Art is supposed to speak for itself so I refrain from just blurting out what my goals and subject matter is.

P. S. This is Newgrounds so you rate it however you feel like :)
