The Chimaera Stones RPG

"ARGH! Crap, crap, CRAP!"

date: November 19, 2009

Ambitious, but rubbish, for the following reasons:

1: How do I *HEAL?!* I can't find a place or a way to 'rest' anywhere - I can't sleep at the Inn I started in, I can't kip down on the ground, there's no 'rest' button and I can't 'use' any beds, nor does anyone offer to let me stay at the Inn! This REALLY needs to be explained - I'm out of potions, out of wound balm, my Shadow is OUT of mana, and there's NO WAY TO HEAL MY PARTY!

2: Needs to be more EXP, and more ways to MAKE EXP. I've done the first quest and opened all the chests I could find, but only my Thief has even leveled up.

3: Needs to be more ways to make money. I'm playing a ranger, so I collected every single rat corpse I could find, thinking I could skin them and pawn them off for at least a FEW coppers! *NOPE!* Wonderful misleading character skill, there.

4: In a game where 90% of the enemies are 'animals', making one of the spellcasting classes' only offensive spell "often resisted by animals" was an awful move! The "Shadow" is almost stupidly useless - and don't even MENTION her stupid debuffs! They do all of jack and crap as far as actually helping me survive a fight, and they suck up her mana without doing much in the way of use. Her character profile needs not to have all that crap about consorting with demons and commanding vast power and needs to say she's a crappy debuffer with an offensive spell that won't work 90% of the time on 90% of the enemies in the game.

So basically, it was a good attempt, hampered horrifically by poor design choices and a COMPLETE and total dearth of documentation. I'm PRESUMING that at some point there should be a way to recover my party's HP/MP, but at this point that doesn't seem to be a safe presumption!

Jetpack Jailbreak

"Your high school physics teacher weeps."

submission: Jetpack Jailbreak
date: November 11, 2009

You fail physics forever, my friend. It was a good game, yes, very good... But...

GRAVITY DOES NOT GET STRONGER THE HIGHER YOU GET!

Gravity does not pull things against the surface of a planet. It pulls them towards the core. Gravity gets WEAKER the farther from the center of an object you go - that's a constant fact. You should, if anything, need the antigrav coil at the start, not at the finish.

You Fail Physics Forever.

Madness T E T R I S ' D

"Very funny. 10/10 | 5/5"

date: October 11, 2009

Is what you SHOULD be getting.

But I'm voting you low because you told me not to vote low.
Newsflash, we make the votes here, not you. Sorry to be an asshole about it, but hey, this is Newgrounds. If you expect different, you're mad enough that you could take over from Hank.

Author's Response:

Despite what you said, I find it ironic that even though you thought this deserves 10/10 AND 5/5, you do the exact opposite. And, to be more specific, I said there are certain things which people shouldn't vote low just because of.

*+*+(CT: To Faraway Times)+*+*

"Very, very true to the original."

date: July 25, 2007

Brings back so many good memories of faraway times. :)

This is just awesome. Sounds just like Squaresoft went and remade Chrono Trigger with modern hardware.

Author's Response:

hehe yes it does doesnt it.. however I do believe I should have made this a little more intense and put a bit more feeling into it to draw you in a little more - ah well.

And yes that is a lot of vg musician's goal is to take an existing song and update it so it sounds modernized - glad you liked it and thanks for the review!

Dance Of Illusions

"Should be clearly marked as a remix"

submission: Dance Of Illusions
date: March 10, 2007

As I was listening to it, I was saying "You know, this sounds familar, and I KNOW that title's familar."

This is "Dance of Illusions" from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. You really should mark it clearly as a remix, because as it is, IIRC, it could be considered plagarism.

"Belongs in a Half-Life 2 mod"

submission: Aran

This music.... It's just awesome. I could totally see Gordon Freeman fragging people to this tune.

Someone needs to snatch this tune up for a flash game, and GiganAgainstCammy needs to seek employment at Valve. :)
