TheRaccalope's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[me and the key2]

You had to bring back the fucking brick level!

[Dad 'n Me]

Great, a classic i'm sure all have enjoyed. One problem, the ninjas are incredibly hard to hit and the running is kinda shit.

Score: 10/10, one of the best...

[Aether]

Not a lot to say about Aether good controls, solid puzzles, not to confusing. The only downside is the mapping, exploration is good and is filled with secrets just getting to your destination is a little challenging especially when the arrows are lightly shaded.

Score: 7/10, not a lot here...

[Weltling 2: Regurgitated]

It's good but I have a few complaints...

1. The skull elephant enemies are fucking shitheads, sometimes they charge at you right on to the screen without any warnings and sometimes they give an indication, it's just to erratic. The level they start at showing up is fucking horrible. The level takes the shithead jumping dumplings and the horrible elephants together and you get an unfair not fun challenge and is single handedly the worst part of the game.

2. The hitboxes are buggy, the only exception being the falling dumplings, the jumping dumplings seem fine but there's just something about them that makes them horrible to deal with. The worst hitbox has to be the character, Welting. The hitbox is bigger than it should be and when you have to tiptoe in between flying dumplings and a spike throwing Peashy, you get hit for no reason. It's just not a great experience.

I do however have some positives, like...

1. The game is still very enjoyable as an endless and brings a lot of content to the table, unlike Chainsaw the Children or SYNJ. Despite it's obvious flaws the game has potential and i hope to see Edmund revisit the characters, maybe a new game for consoles or a collection of all the Badland games similar to the Basement Collection.

Score: 5/10. A good time waster but will get you mad, except many deaths if you're gonna beat the story.

[Tri-achnid]

The game is good but getting all the grubs is a pain in the ass, especially the ones that require birds. Overall good but I don't recommend playing with a mousepad it just spoils the fun and overall pacing.

I could never really figure out how to kill enemies, whenever I would kill something it would be by random and I wouldn't realize how I did it.

However, one thing I can congratulate the game on is, with a mouse, the game does flow along surprisingly well, and swinging with the webs is actually really fun.

The atmosphere is good as well, it takes place in the same universe as Cereus Peachy in a land called the Badlands and they all pull off the nuclear world very well. The difference between Cereus Peachy and Triachnid is, Cereus Peachy focuses on the tribe filled world of violent psychopaths, where Triachnid focuses on the exact opposite. It focuses on the concept of a world full of loneliness and solitude, where you seem to be the last thing on the planet for the first full levels. But when you do see the other lifeforms that try to kill you, it catches you off guard. Almost all of your deaths up to this point have been inflicted by wrong movements. Now something is trying to kill you for real.

Overall good game but could use more control tuning as the hands latch on to things very easily which makes swinging from ledge to ledge a nuisance, which I have seen other people complain about.

Score: 7/10

[Time Fcuk]

For those of you asking, Time Fcuk/Cf Uk's main character is named steven. Steven has been confirmed as a future version of Isaac from the Binding of Isaac. So the boss and items are based off this game not the other way around.

[VVVVVV Demo]

A game like this should challenge you to your limits, but not frustrate you you the point of madness. This game hits it right on the nail, and the demo is one of the best i've ever seen, The demo takes the first level to introduce you to the mechanics, then uses the next level to put those skills to the test. Super Meat Boy is a great comparison, but unlike Super Meat Boy the game never made me feel like I couldn't do it without dying over one hundred times. Even the hardest rooms won't kill you more than 70 times. Both are amazing games and they both basically pioneered indigames, and those things are so damn popular these days. This game has been ported to the Nintendo Switch and has been marked down from it's original $10 to $5. The game isn't entirely long either, my first ever playthrough was only about 3 hours (without all trinkets). With 20 trinkets, 19 achievements, an outer space world, and 6 levels filled to the brim with fun challenges, the game will be quite a bit longer and is well worth the low price. Just a great game, good job!
