Lohkie's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Amber Helix]

A lot of effort, good story, good controls, great music, but the progression system is hopelessly flawed and fundamentally turns the game into grinding.

Additionally, the regeneration mechanic is useless at early stages, due to the necessity of shooting disallowing any meaningful level of regeneration.

AmberHelix responds:

On easy i can play through the game without grinding, no need to repeat levels, in fact it gets too easy as I am overpowered after a while. I will not make it easier.

[Tek Tactical]

Functional, but suffers from standard art > design bloat.

Menus are numerous and excessive to compliment an extremely bland gameplay experience.

Seems almost like it was a scrapped mobile game given excessive amounts of menus to give it more depth.

Also, the intro has no reason being that long without being skipable.

tedgaming responds:

You inability to read the word "skip" and lack of common sense to press common skip keys like esc is not my fault.

[A Second Chance]

Hilarious, but needs bug testing.

You can plant the bomb on the asteroid without ever putting it on the ship, and detonate it, and it blows up the asteroid.

molkman responds:

Yeah, there are tons of bugs in there, for we had super little time to get that game out there.

[Cult Classic]

Isn't giving me credit for playing on newgrounds, and thus not 100%

deathink responds:

I added a how to in the author comments :)

[Magnetized]

Bugged for me.

Game operates like I am always clicking/pressing z.

rocky10529 responds:

Since the beginning?

[NightStrike]

Good, but needs some tweaking

The missles don't seem to charge/fire right at all times, I find myself having charged a missle, releasing, and then finding out the game never had even registered the first click.

Second, when firing, the gun locks in place, so there's an annoying delay between shots.

Third, the second bosses sting could penetrate your shields if you weren't at the exact perfect angle.

Fourth, you need a quality toggle and a choice for the extra wind particles. For some reason, they drag performance down significantly.

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

1st, the firing works fine, you just must have a slow computer (try low quality. Oh wait, you didnt read the instructions, sorry)

2nd, it's part of the game. Get used to it and learn to combo effectively. It stays in place for 3 or 4 frames (a 10th of a second, (unless you have a slow computer)

Third, get a bigger shield

Fourth, read comment 1
