Aquathros's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cube Escape: Case 23]

Got stuck at the fish. I guided the fly to the shell, then the fish. The fish ate it....and another fly appears. I did this a few times, and I didn't see any change. I went to a walkthrough and I'm supposed to get a key from the fish? Didn't work for me. I quit playing when the walkthrough shows I only need to do it once.

[The Awakening RPG]

Was good until I got to the phantom stalker. I could not kill it, nor could I flee(was never able to get my stamina up that high because the damn thing kept sapping it). Dodge barely worked, mostly just lagged (I had the game quality set on LOW.)

I tried for a good hour to beat the damn phantom stalker, then gave up. I will not play again.

RockLou responds:

You can't flee from boss battles even if you had full stamina.
Personally I think battles are so easy that I wanted atleast one boss to be really difficult. However I did sort of have mixed feelings about that since there's no way to prepare for the Stalker boss in particular, since you're stuck in the cave... In hindsight, I made a mistake with that one.

[Shrunken Survival 4]

How do I get to the forest?

I used a walkthrough to show me how to go there, but I do not have that option in game.

Stopped playing after that.

[Idle Web Tycoon]

Badges don't work.

Yes, >.>, I have bought and sold numerous times, then refreshed numerous times, still no badges.

[Dopaminium: The Heal Jour]

Level 1: I'm up to where I put the knob on the door. I click....and click...and click...and nothing. I click everywhere. I use the matches everywhere....nothing. I right click and nothing. I would like to continue, but I don't know where to go from here. I get that I need to make drugs, but that's it.

This is nothing more than a pixel hunt. I will not play this game again.

A tutorial would help (no, that half-assed attempted with the arrows is not a tutorial). Either walk the player through the entire first level or not at all.

The hit boxes could be larger unless you love pixel hunts.

One last thing, what is the deal with the random foot image thing that shows up and disappears in random places? I saw no explanation of that anywhere. Is it just decoration or is there a use?

Again, I will never play this game again. It is nothing more than a pixel hunt.

[Gretel and Hansel]

I have a major issue with the slingshot.

I found that I have to wait a few seconds before firing. Why? I click, hold and release only to find that I needed to wait another two seconds.

This makes the well impossible to complete.

I grew frustrated because I would aim at the flowers, and fire, but nothing happened. And I had to do it again and again.

Any time I used the slingshot, I had to wait before Gretel was ready not before. This takes too long.

I wanted to enjoy this game, but I cannot even get past the first part.

[Tortuga Escape]

I found all of the symbols for the chest. When I put them in (and I put them in the correct order), the chest does not open.

Other then that, it's a great game.

[Acorn Story]

I cannot get past the intro stage. After the tree with the huge acorn, there is a gap which I cannot jump across. I have restarted and done the tutorial exactly, not pressing jump or space before it says to.

This looks like a nice game, but I cannot play it, unfortunately.

[Aurora- chapter 1]

I usually don't like westerns, but this is an exception.

**SPOILER**

Just a couple of things: 1) the bomb. I had to use a walkthrough to find the fourth ace which was in the jail cell. Not intuitive.

2) I have done everything and consulted a walkthrough to make sure. At the end, I am unable to leave. I get a message saying something like, "I can't leave yet, she'll notice me." I have done everything. This may be a bug.

[ClickDragType 3]

I tried a few puzzles and thought I had solved them....THOUGHT....but no.
Tried one with sound...unable to understand what is being said...too many voices all at once.

Maybe offer hints after a certain time has passes....also, a reset button would be nice. RESET meaning I should not have to go back to the title screen to reset the puzzle. That is not a reset. This is annoying.

I will not play this game again.
