8PoundGorilla's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Devil's Daughter]

I love everything about this. The characters and voice acting remind me of Invader Zim, and the music gives it an awesome retro-platformer feel. It'd be amazing to see this further developed; the only advice I could really give would be to include checkpoints in the more frustrating levels to prevent rage quits.

[THERE IS NO GAME]

Dude, that was amazing. And your accent makes it better.

[Abandoned Plantation Escape]

I tend to like point and click/escape games, so this one caught my eye. I thought it had a pretty good atmosphere (which is probably the biggest thing these kinds of games rely on); just a little bit eerie and melancholic. The game seemed a little rough around the edges overall though; for instance, navigation was kind of frustrating, I feel like this game could really have benefited from a map. Clickable items were hard to spot, to the point where I was randomly clicking around most screens to find what I needed. There were a few small things that I feel could have made the game a bit more enjoyable (for the piano puzzle, it would have been much cooler if the keys actually produced the notes when clicked). The puzzles were a good addition but were pretty simple overall.

Overall I'd say not bad, it could use some work but I look forward to seeing more of these.

[Golf is Hard]

I freaking love this and I don't even know why. It's almost like a game that hates the player, with all it's brilliant, simple mindfuckery (no walking on the course!). The fact that the happy little soundtrack only comes on when you've been at the same hole for a while makes it seem like the game is basking in your frustration. Simple concept, but very entertaining.

[Cube Escape: The Lake]

I generally love escape games, and this one's pretty well executed. In my opinion it's not quite as good as 'seasons' (which is definitely worth playing; I sort of understand the frustration over being directed to a different site but honestly don't think it's that big of a deal), my only real complaint being that there could have been more puzzles and it could have been longer. I thought the atmosphere was great, I'll definitely be looking forward to more of these in the future.
