Joe27's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[High Tea]

I finally beat this game. It's a very simple game. It turns into a fast paced game and it was pretty good, one of my favorites. There's a couple mechanics I've found in the game that make it even more interesting, like how the events occured within the game. Memorizing these events can help you succeed, such as a strategy of buying as much Opium as possible in the beginning of the game in order to have a high supply when the prices rise to 90 silver per chest. The only frustrating thing was how there was no financial compensation for the tea. It probably would've made the game easier. Or more interesting. Aren't they compensating the smugglers for their time? Anyway, great game. Enjoyed trying to beat it and it was really satisfying to do so.

[Easy Chess]

Well, the engine tried the scotch game, and blundered his queen. 10/10.

[Intruder CT 2X]

The best part of this game is the gunplay and progression. The gameplay isn't spectacular but it's an improvement of the previous game, and it's a well-made sequel.

[Orange Jet Fighter]

It's got a perfect amount of challenge in it, but it doesn't feel too friendly and I just think it needs a better UI or control scheme or whatever, but it gets the job done, 100%.

[1066]

Very cool, nice historical game here, was a classic back in the day, of course.

[Palisade Guardian]

It was never too impressive, but this was the game that started it all.

[Ghostscape 2 - The Cabin]

While it had more content, had a better atmosphere, was better themed, and was in general, scarier than the first one, I was never able to finish this game; I couldn't find everyting.

[Create the Police State]

Cheeky game, simple, but it's even a thought experiment. A postmodern commentary on police states, or something. Either way, I really like it.

[Gravity Simulator]

Cool! Like a 2D version of Universe sandbox. Pretty good, I guess. Kinda limited, but that's completely fine. Does this use real physics (Newton's universal gravitational constant) to calculate stuff? tah would be cool. But not bad, I guess.

TestTubeGames responds:

Yes, it does use real physics -- a 1/r^2 Newtonian force law (or a different force law if you so choose). I aimed to make it really accurate - physics accuracy being something I tend to obsess over. So what you see should be what you get with newtonian gravity.

[The Blind Swordsman]

This is a clever idea. It did frustrate me a great deal. I wonder... Who would win? This guy? Or Kenshi(MK)? I have a strong feeling Kenshi would win. They are both blind, both swordsmen, but Kenshi is telepathic and telekinetic. I digress. Nice game. I do have one single complaint, that almost all the sound people sound like everyone, in every game that you have. But that's ok, voice actors aren't that common. Again, I digress. Good one.
