MagicalGirlFia's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Palm Cracker]

One of my hobbies is studding cryptology, so this game was a real treat! It was a pretty short and easy game, but it still required putting thought into the puzzles (now part of a page in my sketchbook is dedicated deciphering this game).
I really liked how you implemented the pigpen cypher- using a custom variant to avoid people being able to sequence break the game. The cat was also adorable.

Deklaration responds:

I think you're the first one who has ever called one of my games "easy"! Well done, and thanks for checking it out!

[FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN']

I do not have any silly goofy things to say but the new UI is really fresh.

[Peter: Aner]

Janky and a bit slow but I really enjoyed the aesthetic and feel of the game. My suggestion would mainly be to speed up the characters speed and work on the combat.

[Leslie & Brianne's Galactic Rampage]

My favorite part what when he went "It's clorbing time" and then clorbed all over those guys

[DEAD PETALS]

Not sure when just happened but I am pretty sure I had fun

bandaloo responds:

thanks, that's the best i can hope for :)

[The Wizard Ran: Chapter 4]

Woop-Woop! This is my favorite of the 4 so far. Nice job! The over world sprites are a massive step up and the murder mystery aspect is an interesting one-I do love a good murder mystery,even if this one is super short
Still confused on how to get the endings that aren't "solve" "fail" or "leave"

adriendittrick responds:

for ending 2, you'll just require a bit of luck or game restarts. For ending 5, you might need to get info from the next entry.

[The Wizard Ran: Chapter 3]

I like this better than the second game put I still perfer the first game in terms of mechanics. The visuals are creative but they really hurt my head after a while.

adriendittrick responds:

4th chapter will go back to the mechanics of the first game :)

[The Wizard Ran: Chapter 2]

I really enjoyed the first game but I do not think the jump in genre was very good for it. I went in expecting more cool puzzles with a hint of stealth and I got something that wasn't really aesthetically similar to the first game at all (the story-or what I got through of it-didn't even mention the first game,although I doubt that rings true for the whole thing)
Along with that the game is difficult but not in a very fun way to the point where I couldn't finish the game due to said difficulty-as it felt more unfair than it did difficult.

I enjoyed the general ideas however and will continue to follow this story due to the fact that I am genuinely interested to know where the story will go next. Sorry for typing up such an essay but I just wanted to make it clear that my criticisms of the game are in good faith and nothing else.

adriendittrick responds:

I expect most games to be similar in style to the first one (top-down gameplay with 3/4th side perspective) because it's the easiest for me to make, but I also want to explore a bunch of video game styles and how to exploit them for dumb interactions.
The platforming in this want is MEANT to be really hard/frustrating, but there are also ways to just NOT do it at all if you figure out cool shortcuts :)

[Tankmas ADVENTure 2022]

A tad janky (especially on mobile) but man am I glad to see this back again! As always great work on the art (I love the cookie almost clay-ish aesthetic) and especially the extremely fitting music!

[BAR-I-TONE]

i fucking suck at this game

super fun though
