Gaiacarra's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Winter Rider]

Smooth controls.

The controls make this game, they feel absolutely WONDERFUL. I could have fun just driving that bike around enjoying how responsive and "pleasantly springy" the controls feel.

I felt you crashed too easily, which is why I stopped playing around level 4 or something. And since the levels are fairly difficult, instead of getting a whole new bike after 9 levels, it would have been cool to be able to upgrade your bike by buying parts or something.

Very fun. 10/10 | 5/5

[Block Drop]

Really cool.

Nice and relaxing, and pretty fun. Honestly I think the ambience is worth even more than the gameplay (which is great too). I like how you added in the survival levels, that kept the player on their toes.

9/10 | 4/5

[Gravibounce]

Meh.

I... don't really know what else to say, it just didn't keep me occupied for every long. I think it was the level design. Pretty bland, I've got to say.

[Cell Warfare]

There are better ways to waste your time.

Oh wow, another space shooter where you move with the arrows and shoot with the mouse. YAWN.

That's... really all there is to say about it.

[Colour my Heart]

Not bad.

It's nice enough. But some of these people seem to think it's the holy grail, and I disagree. For starters, I wonder just how much of this game's power derived from the music? I think I could have experienced exactly the same emotions simply by listening to that piece of music, without playing the game.

The controls need a little work, they feel a bit unresponsive, which is a shame, because in an artistic game like this, the controls should feel like silk: wonderful to touch and use.

There wasn't enough to interact with, and the world was too small. And quite frankly, the ending sucked. I would have liked to find out more about the world this is set in, why they have those billboards forbidding emotion, and so on. Because this kind of reminded me of World Of Goo: a quirky-looking game with a darker secret. Except that you don't seem to have bothered to elaborate too much on the secret.

"Not bad. In fact... I like it!"

6/10 | 3/5

[Mecha Martyr]

Not great.

Not great, pretty generic, unoriginal.

Sort of interesting graphics.

[Shopping Cart Hero]

INCREDIBELY AWESOME.

GOD YES I LOVE THIS GAME.

Do want a sequel. A word of advice: do NOT upgrade the graphics. The simple, "crappy" style is great and focuses all your attention on the gameplay, which is awesome.

A few things that could be included in a sequel:

1. Different scenery such as a city or a volcano (possibly unlockable).
2. MORE UPGRADES.
3. Multiplayer (as in one person controls with WASD and you have a "race" to see who gets furthest).
4. A save function.

Oh, and one more thing: tricks should MULTIPLY your cash, not just add to it, because goddamn are they ever hard to pull off well.

10/10 | 5/5

[Free Board]

Pretty awesome.

There needs to be a way to inverse the controls, though. I couldn't get the hang of them, it felt like it was turning the wrong way.

[Planet Platformer 2]

Nice graphics.

I've got to commend you on the art style and on the idea. It's a pity the actual game is so bland.
