VenJoe's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cube Escape: Harvey's Box]

So good, just like all the other Cube Escape games. No matter how many times I encounter the black shadow thing, it always creeps me out like it was the first. The dominos got me a little stuck, because I assumed that the '6' meant the number of dots at joints had to be six. Otherwise, the game was great! I love the little puzzles.

[It Needs Care]

I knew I didn't trust that innocent, adorable smile. This is a really nice concept! The only reason I didn't give full 5 stars is because, for some reason, it lagged in the card game part and the cards wouldn't show up. So I at first assumed that that was it, that was the game, the adorable squid cheats at card games and that's the deception. Then I reloaded, and boy was I wrong.

Wolod responds:

Thanks! I'll look up to that card game issue.

[Red Oz Episode 1]

I love it! The gameplay is excellent as always, the puzzles just hard enough, but the music! I loved the boogeyman song so much from the Alice is Dead series that I went off on my own time to find the music and its lyrics. And the boogeyman is back again!
Also, I'm loving this Dorothy! I couldn't be more excited for the next episode !

Hyptosis responds:

Thank you so much man, really excited that you liked it! :D

[What Do We Do Now?]

This was very nice, and very creative! I was hooked from the start page, and I can't wait for the second game.

seanjames responds:

Many thanks!

[Baby Hospital]

This is part of a Korean flash game series on Naver, etc., also available on android. I doubt that they are yours, please. If you did make those games and this belongs to you, then please reply to me in Korean. There is no conceivable reason why people who make money from merchandise would upload a free version of the game on Newgrounds.
이걸 스스로 만든게 맞다고 확신할수 있나요?

[Doodle God]

It's a very interesting concept, but also very annoying in the sense that, nearing the end, it makes almost no sense. How does vampire+beast equal werewolf? More odd is the fact that beast + cart makes the chariot, not domestic animal + cart; why would a beast pull a chariot?
Other than the irritation factor in the end, where I had to wait every turn for the hint, this was very nice.

[YouFindYourselfInARoom]

I really love this one! It's so clever and thought out; I love these kinds of thinking games.

[Playing With Letters]

I finally got to the end, yippee! I was quick to do the first puzzle, as I had googled the word 'anagram' previously and it gave me the result of 'nag a ram'. This was great; I enjoyed the lack of a visual, because then I could imagine the surroundings for myself instead of relying on the limits of graphics.
If I had to point out just one thing, it would be the ending. It was... okay. But the rest of the game was so much better than that, and I feel that had the ending been given more life, this game would be perfect.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Congratulations, and well done!

But shh!!! Don't accidentally reveal answers in the reviews XD
Even worse now that I'm pointing it out, hahha. No worries.

Yeah. I find that with text-based adventure games, I actually prefer just a black screen. "You Find Yourself In A Room", by 2DArray (FreeAsANerd on Newgrounds) is a great game of such kind.

Many people seem to think the ending is a bit lame. I get that, to some extent. That said, there actually is a secret ending, but it is so difficult and unfair to find that I don't advertise it with a medal. I think someone might already have told you this.
If you PM me, I can tell you how to find the secret ending :p

Thank you for the positively loaded review!!

[The Room Tribute]

I can't seem to get the football medals right, and I haven't seen half the things that I would wish to unsee - but still, this game is great! I didn't even watch the movie; I heard it was terrible/aesthetic, but maybe I will watch it after all.
