GoodSirFry's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flipanoid]

Dose not allow to start the first stage. I really want to try this looks good lmk when fixed. works on the site I love a good brake through type game.

StrictPossum responds:

That is odd. It loads fine for me.
You also also try it here:

It's the identical files.

[Bang!!]

This is a very simple concept executed with expert level craftsmanship. I really enjoy that that pause and draw speed of CPU is always different this adds replay-ability.

Chris responds:

Thanks. I found that when you don’t expect how long the draw will take it adds a surprising amount of tension for such a simple thing. At first I wasn’t sure if the game might play a little slow but I think now I probably got the pacing about right

[Hank: Straightjacket]

Well great now I have to play this over and over till I figure it out.

Emptygoddess responds:

I'll have to play you over and over tell I figure YOU out.

[BRICKBREAKER SPRINT WEB DEMO (NANO+)]

My browser dose not support graphics API "WebGL 2"? Tried this on desktop and laptop no luck(update) I love breakthrough looking forward to playing.

GlitchyPSI responds:

[Update] Thanks for trying it out!

—

This game is made with Unity 2022.2, so this error would mean that the graphics driver in both your desktop and laptop does not support WebGL 2 (meaning the driver is old) or your browser is outdated in both of them.

You can however go to the itch.io page and download the Desktop version, which hopefully should run on your machine and is functionally the same build as in here except it works better because it's not browser-based.

[Newgrounds Snowboarding]

Extreme Heli Boarding wana be.(update) Old BubbleBox flash game I think you can still play it on Addicting games.

MSGhero responds:

I have no idea what that is. Update: I wanna be that game

[Spongebobs weed smoke catch,]

I got nauseous soon as I moved the mouse around the swirling background is a bit much.

ZabuJard responds:

4 2 0

[Jewel Thief]

I tried this on both laptop and desktop ran slow. I really like this style of game I could get lost in it easy. the interactions on the bottom right need to highlight when they can be used or something it is disorienting to have them not link to anything visually,

ROSSCOGames responds:

Fair enough! Thank you for playing. I'll implement your criticisms right away.

[Crap Os X2 (2008)]

The paper clip was funny. None of the display changes do anything kind of a bummer if its going to be there. Sexy fox got my hopes up lol.

MrCongeniality responds:

It could be Ruffle because I marked it as compatible with Ruffle. It might not be, I'll double check after work tonight. I really would love to do more work on this!

Edit: I have disabled Ruffle emulation for now.

[Balaba (Morabaraba)]

This makes me want to try this game in real life, yeah unfortunately it's having a hard time running for me it got stuck twice right when I was at the computers last piece. (Update) I feel you on the tech end my camera is from 2008 and the software is 2012 I can put out 720p at best lmao I am following love the games ill play them all with time. (UPDATE 03/17) Now that it is working this is on my favorites. Still not getting how capture pieces at the end though

OrangeGroove responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I'm a newbie to newgrounds and the ruffle emulator, so I am
grateful to know things are not working...I discovered to my horror that everything I've put up is working enough that I haven't bothered play testing it - but also running just broke enough to make it seem like I'm slightly mental posting dysfunctional games LOL. I will try getting it to work like it does in flash and hopefully post a better version soon. The rocks and board version I first discovered in Malawi when played with a friend, is as fun and challenging as chess. My AI here was very primitive, programmed to win with no mercy or fault, is like playing against the terminator and its fairly unplayable/fun compared to the real thing...

My other game posted a few days ago is a real disaster - from level 2 till 10 the soundtrack breaks, glitches and cranks the cpu to 100%, wtf? i spent a day trying out different solutions but with no cure. After more research on Ruffle I discovered that the emulation is a knock off version of what was a highly evolved commercial product: Looks like a Porsche but don't feel like Porsche! Reverse engineering software is so cyberpunk and Ruffle is great, but I realize we basically using a back alley Porsche. If you look under the hood and discover a toyota engine don't be surprised you can't get to 260km an hour!

Mame has proved that even if you have a machine with a 100 * more powerful processing and with a 1 000 000 * more memory, you still can't reproduce a virtual version of a game. The essence is lost, it's system, it's hardware, the feeling that made the original great. I figure that a game created and perfected at a different moment in tech is lost if the hardware/software/interface is separated. The whole being greater than the parts - my argument being that no digital version of pinball has ever captured the infinite physics of a metal ball bouncing around a wooden box, enough to convince me that virtual pinball is better or even equal to its analog version.

Am I being morbid in thinking Ruffle/Newgounds is actual an old age retirement home for the crippled and walking dead - the flash devs of old, looking to relive their glory dayz? A place to weave a myth about a moment we can only ever re-experience as an emulation playing back at half the frame rate as the audio is reduced to glitchcore. A place for geeky wannabe coders to rant like drunken sailors about their great and tragic journeys into oblivion as their tech devolved into present day void. LOL
