JuneSSantos's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fairy Simulator [WOMAN EDITION]]

The game is whatever, it's playable
I legit wish you could skip the intro dialogue, but it's not that big of a deal

However, people should stop trying to pretend to be morally superior in here
Even though most of the game is unfunny, there is no intent on harming anyone, it's all in good fun, just because you don't like it, doesn't make it mean spirited, and Newgrounds was always about celebrating everything, from the best, to the worst, and this isn't even that egregious in comparision to the shit I've seen in here back in the day

Virtue Signaling, specially on Newgrounds, doesn't make you any better than anyone in here, it just makes you sound like a complete fucking loser that decides to sperg over some rando saying a word on the internet, if you don't like it, just move on with your day, act like a functional, intelligent human being, please.

(Also, if you're from Twitter, stop trying to tell how people should be offended, and what people should be offended about, specially if the people "making the offense" are the minorities themselves, you fucking idiot.)

Ramen-Noodiles responds:

Thank you for understanding so much! We'll make better games in the future with different themes, maybe horror or dress up or whatever, depends on my mood. And yeah, the intro is supposed to be long and extra, that's why it's mid HAHA!!

But yeah, blancos needa calm down, this is OUR struggle that I faced through.

[Olive's Art-Venture]

Everyone did such a good job with this game, and every time I see anything ANDY LAND related I get so happy, Andy's artstyle and works are so fun, charming and unique that I can't help but feel excited whenever new stuff drops

This is mega awesome :)

(Also, worth nothing; I've downloaded the game instead of playing it through here, hence why my achievements are quite lacking, only here to leave a review and maybe replay it later in the future, lol)

Stepford responds:

If you DM me a list of achievements you should have, I can delicate them to you on my end!

Thanks for playing the game and for the kind words!

[Pengu Saves Christmas]

I know it's kinda early to give a review, but I gotta say, all the games you've been making so far have been pretty polished and interesting

I love the tunes, the visuals are incredibly cute and polished, and the character is adorable, and the sound effects you used for the penguin are the best, and the concept of getting updates every day to celebrate some sort of festivity will never not be my favorite thing ever

My only criticisms is that the camera could be zoomed out a little bit to make it easier to see what's ahead, which could facilitate using the slide ability, and maybe make the controls feel a little less slippery, which might be an intentional design choice, considering the levels are mostly snow and ice, but I still think it would help

But besides that, all I can say is, everyone involved on this is making a great job, and I'm really glad to see this getting it's so deserved spot on the main page, I'm really looking forward for the remaining content, and in general anything else you might have in the making for the future.

Stepford responds:

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! We were thinking of zooming out the camera but we figured since the levels are so short, remembering what's ahead can be a part of the fun. I can understand the frustration of it, tho! :P

[Tankmas ADVENTure 2021]

I know this is the first day and there's definitely more to come, but I just gotta say, this is and will always be one of the most amazing things to exist not only on Newgrounds, but in the internet in general, and this perfectly encapsulates everything I adore from Newgrounds; a bunch of cool people putting effort and time to make amazing things out of their passion for the site and the community, and the result being some of the most creative ideas and concepts that no other community could ever think about

I've seen last year's Tankmas Adventure and I always thought that the concept of a game that would get updated daily with more gifts (the gifts being fanarts) that celebrate the community and the site (and the christmas spirit lol) is something so charming, and one of the main reasons why I enjoy being a part of this site so much
You never know who's going to be the next big name tomorrow, who's going to join the site and make a name for themselves, one day the frontpage might be covered with familiar faces, and the other people I've never seen before, and this is legit one of the few things that get me excited on my day (also dissapointed considering some of the shit that gets picked on the daily features) and Tankmas Adventure encapsulates this perfectly, hence why I'm so excited to hop on this daily, and seeing that you can see people hanging around the map just gives this game a comfy feeling that not a lot of other games get right nowadays anymore

I know it's pretty early to give a definitive review, but the fact that I know you guys won't dissapoint and I have a pretty clear idea to what's planned considering we have last year's tankmas as a comparision, makes me sure that this is a legit banger
Congratulations to everyone working on this and collaborating on both the game and the community.

[Splat Chicken]

It's a pretty short game, but I really think there's genuinely tons of potential in this simple concept
I really like how the eggs work in this game, and the time slowdown in order for you to properly aim where you're flying and where your eggs will land can definitely give you some interesting puzzles, and if expanded upon, could lead into some genuinely interesting level ideas, like some sort of upgrade that allows you to use two eggs in the air once/let two eggs stick on surfaces or other similiar stuff

I only have two criticism, the first is that the movementation could definitely be worked upon
I feel like the game is not only a little too heavy, but the movement in the air is not exactly that precise, it's hard to tell why, but I always feel like something is holding me back (besides gravity)
And the other is those transition screens, although I don't really mind them, and I don't see why anyone should, it really feels out of place, not only because the in-game chicken itself is pretty adorable, but the whole game starts with this kinda melancholic feel due to the soundtrack playing at the menu (I fucking love the track, by the way) and the fact that you spend all game inside this laboratory, the sexy chicken just feels out of place

One suggestion that I have besides tweaking the physics a little, is to add a reticle of some sorts to show exactly where your eggs are landing, but other than that, I think this is a genuinely pretty fun but short game, and I really want to see this game being expanded upon.

STANNco responds:

I've made some changes to the movement, (and level tweaks) that'll hopefully be able to be uploaded soonish to address some of those faults.
(Newgrounds doesn't let me publish changes right now for some reason)

For the transitions, it was simply cause we thought it was fun, not for everyone it seems, but i don't have any intention of removing them right now haha
