Gerkinman's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Bros]

A nice proof of concept

I like the engine itself, and its nice to see a vector based mario game for a change rather then a sprite based one. I do have a few issues with the game however. The controls feel a little loose when it comes to the jumping mechanics, I didn't mind the wall jumping, although I think it could be a little more forgiving with the distance it gives you when you do it. My main issue with the game is the fact that it is just another mario clone. I would have preferred to see original characters and music, but I guess you have the engine now so that should be easy. I also noticed some performance issues, even tho my PC has 8gb of ram, I suppose this could be due to the large number of vector assets? All in all tho, I think its a great engine and I hope I get to see it put to good use.

[Mario-Combat]

Fantastic Engine

Id like to see it used with something a little more original in the future, as in something that isnt related to mario, i think this engine could be used to create some truly great and unique games in the future with a little tweaking.

[Sneaky Snake's Adventure]

Its like Type of the Dead

Only with a better soundtrack. I demand a sequal. And with more boxes.

DAIRYDOG responds:

typing of the dead is like my favorite game

[Pico's Blam Jam]

Nice Game Dewds

Nice game indeed, nice graphics, nice responsive controls, nice physics, my only real gripes are with the lack of music, which made it sound a little empty, and the lack of a game over screen when you die, other then that great job, i look forward to seeing what you come out with next.

PivotGames responds:

haha, we actually had another reference to you in the game.. But due to the deadline I wasn't able to complete your ragdoll in time so we left it out :( sorry :P
thanks for the review!
