DanielIsAlive's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[WESTERN-SHOWDOWN]

Good first entry. For being a basic quickdraw with simple graphics, it's charming and surprisingly engaging. I could be wrong but it seems that in hardcore mode, clicks sometimes don't register if you aren't clicking on the player character, at least that was my experience starting with level 3 (I read the description and it has probably something to do with firefox).

tikiworkshop responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Ill look into it with ultra-hard and see if theres any issues with it. Its sad that FireFox is dodgy, especially since Im a diehard FF user, but when I retested things on chrome and it was a lot smoother.

[Trivial Trivia: Holidays and Celebrations Vol. 2]

Fun as usual. I almost want to say the title theme didn't have to go this hard for a trivia game but it's kinda refreshing in a weird contrasting way. Not sure whether you took my input from the flag guesser but I was glad to find some of the countries I wanted to see in these. I liked the new endless mode, definitely felt more like a challenge.
A couple of errors I found:
-There's a misspelling in the All Saint's question for the German states ("Saaarland" instead of "Saarland")
-The Australian pack has a question about Bastille Day
-Also in the Australian pack, the Bounty Day question is bugged and the wrong answers are all "undefined" while the correct one doesn't read anything at all

I'm still a bit hungover so I may have missed something but for what it's worth I actually went out learning some more random trivia. Happy holidays!

[Golden Tower]

Boy, this certainly is a blast from the past. Nice artstyle and character redesigns. I actually remember the original release of the stella series on toons in 2014 just after halloween. And man, even if it was short, I really enjoyed the combat. Definitely played angry birds epic before it got pulled.

[Tankmas ADVENTure 2024]

Tis the season again LETS GOOOOO-
But really, I was genuinely worried that tankmas wasn't a thing anymore. So glad I was wrong.
Let merry times be upon us

[Kill the Turkey]

Straight out of 2007. There's some weird issue with the buttons to the raygun and soul steal option where it just seems to restart without a kill? Other than that, a nice little throwback game. Congrats on the daily 4th.

CalamityGanon responds:

Thanks! I've actually been aware about the glitch with those two options. They only seem to work half the time, I've been trying to fix it along with one of the secret medals.
Thank you! I was really trying to nail the early Newgrounds feel.

[Trivial Guesser: Flags of the World]

Good game, a nice follow up to the previous title with lots of variety. I especially liked the added difficulty with the city/regional flags. I think I recognized most from the flag games, Maybe some more of those from more countries (UK, Poland, Germany, Australia etc.) if there's another flag guesser in the future?
Been kinda stumped on the daily challenges for a while. Yesterday's 16/71 for the americas definitely looked like belo horizonte, yet the first row had five letters? And today the flag is clearly durango, but there's m instead of n in the answer field. Not sure if it's errors or just skill issue for me,

TeamTrivial responds:

Hello!

Appreciate the feedback & info. You are correct in today's answer and indeed the flag displayed was wrong - this has been fixed. I checked yesterday's answer as well and your guess should've been correct so I'll see what may be going on with the display there.

Regarding future flag games - I'll take your suggestion and see what we could do for another release or update to this game (would probably add them to the static challenges just to make things easier if there would be an update)

[Milk Clicker!]

That's a lot of milmk

[Drop the Bomb (Medals)]

Still a pretty entertaining quiz game. The sports category is pretty America-centric, as has already been said, but overall, the trivia still holds up relatively well. As JimmyCarlos said below, most medals are very much up to rng, but the percentages aren't nearly as bad if you get a couple bomb rounds in, since they gain no points. (though I did get absolutely lucky with $100/200 questions and like thirteen bomb rounds total) The bonus spins seem to hate me though lol

[Stay Indoors]

Perfectly chilling game for the season. The prompts at the bottom of the screen give off the same vibe as those in 3D monster maze. Only bug I encountered is that your character gets stuck if you pass into a new area while too close to a wall, though I guess that was on me really.

Weird thing to praise in a horror game, but the map and overall town layout stuck out to me? I wasn't expecting the game to have this much of an actual town to explore and it definitely makes you want to keep looking around even after finding your dog. Really makes you FEEL like a british working class lad strolling through the suburbs during the 80s, haunted by the worst monster of all... Maggie Thatcher, milk snatcher.

But really, great game. Just left wondering: what were the blue books about and are they meant to be interacted with?

Chris responds:

Thanks! I really wanted the town to feel realistic in that way rather than just a bunch of buildings dropped on a grid. I see a lot of games put towns in like this and they put a lot of space between the buildings but areas of Britain like this are tight and the houses aren't very big so I tried to replicate that the best I could in this game. I think mundane settings are much more effective for horror.

Also haha those blue books in the woods are porn mags that have been dumped there. The amount of porn that got dumped in the woods near my house I figured it wouldn't be the same if I didn't include it. Originally I was going to have it so you could check them and it'd say what they were but it was a job that just got lost somewhere along the way.
