WatchRyder's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space Order Mine]

Very cool game!
Well done Fluffy Lotus.
Some of the upgrades don't seem to work though.

FluffyLotus responds:

Thanks! I'll try to post an update in the next few days, there's a lot of things that got fixed.

[Cathedral Nautilus: Virgiliath]

Kinda neat game but the worst part is the game makes things too difficult to make out, it's like there's a fog covering everything.
The story line is hit and miss. The anti-Christian screed and whacky hate-your-mother vibe that seems to underpin the character is borderline cringe.
Graphics are kinda neat aside from the aforementioned.
Not bad.

MrDoth responds:

I had to summarize a lot of the story I had planned in order to keep the game from becoming a game of dialogues and at the same time give me time to finish it.

The intention was never to make an anti-Christian game, sorry if I offended you with any symbolism, it's more a kind of dystopian post-Christianity where even the god has changed. Anyway, thanks for your review!

[Dead Horizon: Demo]

Fantastically old school cool, reminds me of a C64 gunslinger game from back in the day where you played a sheriff cleaning up town.

Emptygoddess responds:

Law of the West. Great game. Unsurprisingly I've played it.

[Catastrophe Chaos]

Pretty good, but too hard, too soon.

PatrickZochAlves responds:

Thanks for playing and for the comment!

A run lasts less than 5 minutes, that's why I made it pretty hard, pretty fast. If I make a new version I'll try to make a better difficulty courbe.

[Cosmodrome Demo]

This is one of the best games on NG, no exaggeration. The old-school vibe and independent attitude is a great thing to behold.

The tower activation was a bit tricky but I got the hang of it, reminds me of Elite, Serenity and other sci-fi stuff from the old days.

Keep it up and keep on improving!

Questions: Not sure how you buy or make computers, that option isn't there on the screen, maybe you haven't added it yet?

JamesChapp responds:

Thank you very much for playing cosmodrome =)

It makes me very happy to be part of the NG community and after so many years of seeing so many good things on the portal. Now I am the one with something to contribute.

Regarding how to buy or make computers.
There is a bug that makes the computer resources icon disappear. I will fix it in the next update.
space traders sell computers. through the factions / special trades window.

I plan to create a medical bay module where I can produce medicines. and automated factory modules where to produce machines and computers.

did you find the AUTO SELL button? with which the posters of the ships that want to buy fuel do not appear and accept them automatically?

Regarding the skills.
to produce credits I recommend financial / trade / megawelth that work.
to shoot with the towers and mercenaries the skills weponry or ordnance and pilot.
but station maintenance skills and resource consumption are also important.
complement your skills with those of your officers to explore different strategies.
there are skills that don't work and others that do. I will improve the popups to be more descriptive.

the game can be won in different ways with different strategies.

the game has many hotkeys.
with the "Q" key you select all the units.
with SPACE pause the game
if you press the "Delete" key or delete. gives you credits.

Did you press the "0" key?
You go one level inside the station which simultaneously passes the tower defense outside the station. I'm going to implement that too.
with the key "E" the doors are used and with the "Q" you use or not a weapon. you point and shoot with the mouse.
the idea is to do action scenes inside the station like boardings and things like that.


Thank you for your sympathy

[RED in The Wrong Part of Town.]

Really vibbing to the neo-cowboy music and flow, but the adversaries are too difficult to shootdown in time IF you run left! They seem to not die without sperging out into you while invulnerable thing in the air just rains down bullets. There should be a way to kill that annoying bastard cat in the air.

So I ran right and made it to level 11, then it changed to 21 levels but wouldn't advance the level counter any further! Did I make it to the right part of town? :D

RowanFuture responds:

You can actually kill the cat-copter but its healthbar is a bit big
(the difficulty curve is just way too high currently)

[Horse with a Human Mask on a Tightrope]

Pretty cool and radical, but the 2nd level was cheeky and unexpected!

jefvel responds:

god gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers, you can do it! Thanks for playing though!

[Madness Roulette]

Pretty good, but most of the customization stuff doesn't work.

Edit: The custom options for color / character don't activate when I select and click on them once I've unlocked them.

spazgunk responds:

hmm, that's odd. have you unlocked all of them, or is this a visual bug you're encountering when you select them?

[Gyro Gear Tournament+]

Fairly mediocre game due to the lack of controls, no guide or tutorial. The random energy bar is stupid and just ends up being pressed accidentally.

rotcivsette responds:

The lack of a tutorial is indeed fair criticism.

[Satellite Dreamer]

Nice game but when I unlocked the third gun upgrade there was no-where else to go, when back the way I came but no way up the big drop.

Fortythreesam responds:

Did you try put down 3 grenades at the same time to launch? You should get enough height
