SourJovis's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Enola: Prelude]

Good game. It froze up after I defeated that robot with the drill. It gave a grey screen that said loading 100%. Nothing happened. I had to choose quit to the world map, and all stages were locked again. I still had all my exp levels and weapons though.

GrindheadGames responds:

Hi there - we are sorry you experienced this problem, we have just updated a patch for the game that will fix this issue. Sorry about that! This is the final release now we hope. If you clear your cache and play again the problem should be fixed. When you complete the game you start again in prestige mode - you keep all your spells, equipment and items but the enemies level up and become stronger with each prestige. Good luck!

Nice atmosphere. Good music. The graphics aren't too bad. It would be better if the player wasn't forced to follow a certain path all of the time, and was given more choices. More game play would be nice. Puzzles maybe. I don't get what codes I have to enter. Even though the fact you shouldn't try to enter an E narrows it down. I wish there were more hints in the game. Good job overall.

Fun game. The back ground makes you feel weird after a while. As if the screen is tilted. Good music.

maybe the screen is tilted

[Where is 2013?]

Nice game. Beautiful photos. The drawn things didn't blend well with the photos but at least it helped to tell you what you could pick up and use. It's hard to see where you can or can't go. It took me a long time to find all of the locations and items. In the end I could finish it and get the good ending, so it's not too difficult.

[Moonlit]

Beautiful but short and too simple. I'd like to see more games by you in a similar style, but with more game play.

[Mall Kombat]

That's quite a fun game. Great graphics. Fantastic music :p Very hard to beat. I'd say it would be better if it were easier but with more opponents. That way you'd get more sense of achievement. Get further and further with each try. This is more like keep hitting a brick all, and hope one day you'll break it. It feels good once finally beat it though. And the end animation makes it well worth the effort.

Thanks for the comment, and for the music :)

[Siegius Arena]

Good game. addicting. okay graphics and sound. I think the music volume should turn down during the narration. I can't complete the first bonus stage. Can anyone show me how it's done?

[30 FPS vs 60 FPS]

Got a score of 3/3 on both a slow and a fast computer. There obviously is a difference. I see this difference too in 60 fps games that have been screen captured and uploaded on youtube (30 fps). But it's a bit more complex than that. Whether the difference between 60 or 30 fps is large or small depends on the situation. Generally in fast moving videos it matters more than in slow moving. Also in life action films the shutter speed makes a difference. Slow shutter speed is smoother than fast shutter speed, because slower shutter speed creates more motion blur. why slow shutter speed can also make up for a low frame rate. However, fast shutter speed gives sharper images than slow (it's a bit of a trade-off). Animated films or video games normally don't have motion blur, so difference in frame rate is more apparent.

Great game. Reminds me of Castlevania indeed. Fantastic graphics. Good voice acting. The music is good too, though I have used so much electronic instruments for a medieval setting. There are a few glitches though. Once you deplete all of Mogrimm's hp, and your lantern turns red, you're not always able to weave the sigil (weave the sigil is something I just made up). In fact, when the game starts lagging, these sigils are impossible to complete. When you weave the sigil on Zippelnum, but move out of the screen without shooting him, you'll get stuck forever. All of a sudden I can't choose Game and anymore. Probably my computer automatically removed the cookies. Anyway, good job making this. Looking forward to the sequel. Btw is there a walkthrough? I'm missing 3 medals. The final two and one between "But Why?" and "Oh

[Knightmare Tower]

Perfect game. Well balanced. Stays interesting. Addicting. Good graphics and sound. etc etc. The medals are quite difficult to get.
