VenJoe's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

[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!!

[Drink Beer, Neglect Family]

I love the message, and I really like how the family consequences become more severe as the number of beers I drink goes up. The only downside to this game is that it gets very repetitive after a while; more challenging, but repetitive.

esayitch responds:

Glad you liked it overall, yeah it kinda gets repetitive due to there being only 9 effects and 1 level, and after the 11th or 12th beer or so the difficulty stops ramping up...
