tadame's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[SARCO]

Graphics are beautifully drawn. Game concepts are unique. I wasn't quite sure why we played as a floating stone until I found a guy with broken legs.

Hope to see more games from you.

Why would grandpa lock himself in a house and leave a key outside?! *Pff* Also, the bed was set without any bed linen and pillow. More shopping is needed, but the bank account has zero balance. :V

After all, this boy is not going to the town?

selfdefiant responds:

Yes, he went to town, the hospital was in town. :)

[Cube Escape: Seasons]

It's interesting to explore a lake house in four different years with occasional creepy scenes. After reading a couple of notes on a notice board, I got a feeling that this game might be related to depression. In order to go from one season to the next, one must find a complete set of torn picture pieces and a cube by solving puzzles. Most puzzles are easy to figure out except the television one. I didn't know I had to press the buttons based on the screen clues until I had watched the walk through. I went changing the time of a clock and it didn't work, of course.

The most confusing and frustrating moment came when I reached the last cube. One could change the memories of the past by doing some tricks on the clock. After trying a few things with a blender and travelling back and forth across cubes, a blank (black) screen appeared and I had to restart the game. The second time it happened, I decided to watch the walk through to see the ending.

Sound effects are brilliant and fit well to the scenes! I particularly like the sound track played in summer time. c:

[Invisible World!!]

Boring, but good try.

Snaynation responds:

I'll try my best to improve in the future. Thanks for the comment :)

[White Stone]

Sound effects are awesome!
Story is interesting, but I failed to defeat the ghost dragons at least five times. I decided to stop here.

[Alyssa's Quest]

Music is great! It sounds like Alyssa has an important mission to do for her King. Male voice actors sounded alright, but the female voices were unnatural. I expected Alyssa to have a strong voice since she's the dame.

Graphics is fine although some vector mushrooms didn't seem to blend in with the magical pond scene. I like the dragon and the electric effects.

Defrost the king was easy, but figuring out a way to take down Dr. Nightowl was confusing and less interesting.

[The Conjuring Escape]

Graphics are good! I'd love to hold a lantern while exploring the dark environment.

Game play is okay, but some clickable spots weren't easy to find until I zoomed in my screen. Most puzzles are straightforward except the piano one. One has to work out the position of the corresponding key pads before pressing. Hint: there are four As, Bs, and Cs, and two Ds.

It'll be great to have some sound effect when an action is performed. For example, pressing keys on the piano, opening a drawer, and wind coming through a window.

When did the store change their opening hours? I had to go there at night to get a hose.

Cute sheep I received from Randal. :3

[King's Escape]

I like that there are two hidden passages in this game which allow one to explore beyond the visible scenes. Although I couldn't relate the four sentences in a book to anything, I was able to find most items by random clicking on spots.

The billiard puzzle was difficult. I did pay attention to the trace marks left on each painting. However, I couldn't work out correctly the direction each ball would travel. I thought the second ball would do a corner turn, but I was wrong after reading the walk through.

PineStudio responds:

A little hint:
Sentences in the books are related to... paintings!

[Break Free The Fortress]

Puzzles are straightforward and items are easy to spot. Not bad, but not very interesting.
