SurfinBeats's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mouse Mouse]

I laughed when the cockroach went splat.

[Epic Battle Fantasy 3]

I'll never forget ebf3 as it was my introduction to this series. It's still fun to replay and I didn't hesitate to do it again solely for the newgrounds medals!

[PICO NIGHT PUNKIN']

Pretty sweet de-make of FNF. The randomized charts are actually a really cool idea that I'd like to see in the original game for some increased replayability.

[Neon Rhythm]

Super fun rhythm game. I love the brief dialogue before each stage, but a faster method to skip it would be appreciated. However, I wouldn't have replayed it so many times for the secret fourth level if the music wasn't so catchy. Nice job!

[Randy Learns Science]

This game does a really good job at capturing that old edutainment game aesthetic. It's just kind of a shame that replaying the game for the multiple endings is really tedious, since practically nothing changes between playthroughs.

[Bullet Heaven 3 [Prototype]]

I'm not usually into these kinds of games, but I felt compelled to finish this one to the very end since it was only a prototype. As somebody who hasn't played a lot of the Bullet Heaven games, I had a pretty good time with this. I've only had a few minor issues, (performance being slow at times, this one bug I came across where a wave wouldn't start at all so I had to restart the level) but it's pretty solid so far. If this ever goes past being a prototype, I'll make sure to check it out.

[Drop Cannon]

Pretty fun game. I like how you're slowly introduced to new mechanics so that the later levels don't feel nearly as overwhelming. It helps especially with how frantic it gets by the final level.

[Seven]

Fun little platformer. Also this is lots of fun to speedrun, even if I probably won't get a sub one minute run like all the top players lol.

[Advent NEON DEMO [Web Version]]

Absolutely fantastic so far. Platforming is super fun with dashes and wall running, but what I love the most about this game is the bosses. Counter attacking is a cool mechanic that rewards you for knowing a boss's attacks well with an extra-powerful move. However, the timing for counters is pretty tight, which is good thing. Newer players can use dashing to more safely dodge with its brief invincibility, but more experienced players can go for the riskier counter to take them down faster. I'm looking forward to seeing this finished!

Thank you! That's pretty much the intent!
