Codefreq's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wanted!]

This is insanely addictive! Brimming with personality in terms of the graphical style and types of sprites used. The music is really compelling as well. Normally this kind of bass-y beat music isn't my thing but it's used very well as a way of building tension as the game goes on; I really like how it increases in speed and intensity along with the game speed because it gives a Space-Invaders-esque tension to it.

Added to my favorites, great work, everybody! :D

The graphics are very slick; I know retro graphics can be difficult to make distinct from a stylistic perspective but I think you nailed it here. The game is really fun and compelling; I wanted to see the rest of the levels once I got started.

The only thing that I have a problem with is the toggle button for dashing. Making it the "Z" key makes the game artificially more difficult than it needs to be. Maybe map it to "F" or a key more easily accessed?

Still, great job! :)

Edit: Yes, I was using the AD keys for movement.

LVGames responds:

Oh I see you where using the A and D Keys. Thank you for letting me know. Happy you like it! I still get that feeling too after many times playing. I want to see the rest of the levels once I start playing.

Edit: Okay that makes sense because I added those keys just because someone in the comments mention I should have it. But because your comment, yes it would make sense for another key for the Charge Boost.

What a charming game! :)

I'm getting a serious "Mario Vs. Donkey Kong" vibe from this.

The graphics are cute and the music and audio fit that design well (The footstep sounds made me smirk when I heard them the first time). Every element fits together really well here. The game mechanics are clever yet simple and fun.

Nice work overall. :)

Oh man that’s a huge compilation, I LOVED that game as a kid.

Thank you :)
