Fritzien's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fishy Friends!]

I love the 8-bit style! Anxiously waiting on getting to that 'psychological horror' part the tags are teasing... Only thing I can think of to improve this is perhaps a dex to show what fish you've caught? Otherwise, the game is lovely!

shoebby responds:

Lol sorry the psychological horror tag was a joke, but after setting it I did start working on something related to that. I might update the game somewhere in the future to include this :)

Also a dex would be super nice, but I didn't manage to mesh it with Pico-8's restrictions. I'm currently looking to port the game to a different engine, thanks for the note though!

[The Trivially Possible Quiz]

Cute game! I enjoy things like this, it's fun to just read a bunch of nonsense sometimes. I surprisingly got on the scoreboard, though! So that's lovely!

EDIT: I'm number 68 for score,, there's so much lost potential...

[Pico's School: Love Conquers All]

I am SO GLAD you posted this separately... I love this.

[SELF]

This game is lovely! The soul mechanic is a bit weird at first, but you get used to it eventually and it proves to be a nice challenge! One thing that I really liked was the music. I ADORE how it sounds more muffled and drowned out when you're using your soul, and it really made the game feel special. I love little details like that, and it's very well done!

[Fancy a drink?]

I really liked this! It's really well made, and the dialogue is very good. I really enjoy how if you try to start it again, the screen stays the way you left it. It's a nice touch. The only gripe I have is that the music gets very repetitive, but otherwise it's a great short game!

kozmiksans responds:

Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated!

I was thinking of layering the music so each X sips, a new part of the song is added but didn't have the time.

I'll redo some stuff after the jam ends and more feedback comes.

['Brain-Toasting Dungeon']

Very very cute game!! I adore this simple style of flash game, and it was quite enjoyable albeit short! Very well made regardless, and I love the unique art style!

Butzbo responds:

Wow thanks Fritzien! :)

[Adventures With Anxiety!]

A very sweet, heartfelt game that speaks to me.

As someone with a generalized anxiety disorder, this game is wonderful. It really helps put into words what the things I go through day-to-day feel like. It might be silly, but this is genuinely a beautiful game that has truthfully reached me.

And of course, my anxiety is a spotted hyena. <3

[Catfishing Cuties <3]

Very cute game! I like the real-time mechanics of swapping around the available roster to catch. It's charming and fun to check up on occasionally!

Edit: And I almost forgot the gorgeous color palette!! I'm a sucker for color palettes, and this game has one of the nicest ones to boot. Not to mention how good it all looks! It's not often I find games that really use full color palettes WELL, but this one is definitely one of them!
