arachnid98's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico's School DX]

This is a fantastic remake!
...not much else to say, really. XD

[Red Keys and Black Rooms]

Eh, it's alright, but there are a few things I have a problem with. One, it's very, very simplistic, and I feel like it could be more polished. Secondly, it's not very clear sometimes what you're expected to do. I cant get past the "Base 16" level because I have no idea what I'm supposed to type in. I recognize a connection to hexadecimal, but that doesn't help when I have nothing else to connect it with. Overall, the game is good in concept, not so good in execution.

[Reunion]

Oh god, that ending... holy crap... ;_;
I thought the freaky Herobrine looking guys were scary, but then that freaking ending...
As far as the game goes, I think it's very well polished, and it definitely had the eery, shilling atmosphere you were going for. And I love how you used the game to convey a very serious message. If you were looking for an effective way to share that message , let me be the first to tell you that you found one.

Konash responds:

I can feel that you were highly impacted by the ending!
Thank you very much for your kind comment! I'm glad we succeeded :)

[no-one has to die.]

Duuuuuuude. That was an incredible game. The story was extremely well thought-out, and the whole thing almost seems like a Twilight Zone episode (Troy's timeline especially; there are quite a few Twilight Zone stories similar to his. Rod Serling would approve. XD).
<Spoilers Follow>
I especially love the way the four timelines eventually meet up into the final one, and how the stories all add up to the final conclusion. This shows that you really thought this story through, and executed it skillfully. Some people complain about the simple graphics, but I think they lend well to the atmosphere of the game. Overall, one of the best story-oriented games I've ever played. :D

[Hidden Challenge]

It's not bad, but it's awfully bland. Try adding some music, and maybe some cutscenes for the backstory, winning and losing screens. Other than that, its pretty darn cute, and it killed a good fifteen minutes. XD

[Troll Cannon 2]

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting: the best possible use for memes!

[15 coins]

Hmm, it's not bad. The puzzles are just easy enough to be solvable but just challenging enough to be interesting. But the lack of sound makes it seem incomplete, and there's really no discernible plotline or story. I could really do with an explanation as to what exactly I just played through... XD
In short, a decent game, but it feels like it could be better.

[Where's My Water?]

The sarcasm is so palpable I can almost taste it. XD
The game itself is nothing special, but then, it doesn't need to be; you got your point across, and gave me a good laugh besides, so you get five stars anyway.
Also, if those kids aren't careful, they're going to spill all of their magically attained water with all that celebration dancing. Silly kids...

[Widmo shooter]

Alright, this game has plenty of pros, but also a lot of cons. First, the pros: the atmosphere is definitely scary and suspenseful, which is awesome. The sound is great (although the player's footsteps are awfully loud) and the specific sounds I heard added suspense and made me want to know what the story was. However, there are some problems. Firstly, your goal isn't clear. I'm guessing you're supposed to be taking pictures, but since the only controls are for walking (unless the "shoot" button is someplace weird, since I tried the mouse button and the space bar), and since there's really not much to shoot except for the debris on the floor, I really don't see how you can shoot anything at all. In addition, I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that the game would be much more comfortable to play if the WASD keys could be used for walking. The arrow keys make it so that your hands are crowding the right side of the keyboard, and the on-screen buttons can't be used, since the mouse should be reserved for lighting your way. Lastly, I'm guessing the bloody handprints are supposed to be causing damage, but as far as I can tell there's no health bar of any sort (or sanity bar, if it's intended to be THAT kind of game). Basically, what you have here is a game that could be awesome, but isn't. If you're not already planning on fixing these issues, I highly recommend that you do, because this has the potential to be a great game.
Oh, and one more thing: what the hell is a widmo? XD

[Monsters' Den Chronicles]

Well, it's obviously a well-made game, with improved graphics and style, but there are a few things that bug me. First, it's really, really hard getting used to the new style. We're used to the battle style in the first and second games, so I'm a little thrown off by the sudden change. Secondly, I miss being able to customize the characters. I know it seems silly, but I really wanted to continue the adventure with the characters I made in the first game. So once again, while this is definitely an excellently made game, it's not quite the same...

garin-dan responds:

You can still customize the characters. Click the 'gear' icon under the character sprite, in the inventory or character screen.
