Griffonmender's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sinful Scoops]

It's fun, but I can't complete it due to faulty shape recognition.
I've only successfully gotten it to recognize "Envy" once, and no matter what I do nothing registers as "Pride".
Wrath mostly works, but sometimes I draw it and it registers as something completely diffrent like Lust or Greed.
Confusingly, the game seems to have a strong bias for registering gestures as Gluttony, to the point that not only did I get "Gluttony" far more often than "unrecognized gesture", but a SINGLE DIAGONAL LINE is also seen as gluttony instead of being unrecognized.

Other than that, it's a good game.

[Yoshi: a Platformer]

It's not bad, but it's very short.
I would also recommend not making the sky and the spikes such a similar color, especially in a lineless style like this, as it makes them very hard to see.

[Type For Your Life]

Apparently I have been "eaten a cannibal".
The initial capital letter seems to be a bit difficult to register properly, but otherwise it works well.

[Gacha Life Dress]

Uses low quality pngs seemingly ripped directly from the original game with bizarre edits and color choices, while simultaneously having almost none of the customization or sheer number of options from there.

Some of the hair looks to be cropped out of other people's edits, as the shape is clearly that of the original asset, but the level of shading present simply isn't possible in even the most recent entry, Gacha Life 2.

Even if this massive glaring issue was ignored, many of the items aren't aligned properly with the model- including the sneakers placed by default, and going to the pet and background screen (also made with low quality images ripped straight from the original), you can no longer edit OR go back to the beginning, making the software nonfunctional and useless.

Stop taking images from other games and cramming them into a barely functioning end product.
If you want to make a good dress up - or any other kind of game- you need to make your own assets or work with someone willing to make them for you, and test your project before publishing so it's not riddled with obvious issues.

Please do better in the future.

[Ice cream cat!]

It's functional, and the medals work.
The graphics could stand to be better- even if it's just a more interesting background, or something other than the Scratch cat.
The ice cream are a bit uninteresting, especially since they're all recolors, but they are easy to tell apart.
Could use some different sounds and maybe some background music- the eating sound is ok, but otherwise the game is VERY quiet.

A good start.

[Runner Coin DX]

Not great.
You have multiple lives, but the current state of the respawn mechanic basically makes it more like one 90% of the time, since it often sends you falling directly into a gap- and sometimes even straight through platforms!
Seems very easy to get a bad start where there just isn't anywhere to jump to, exacerbating the first issue.
The platforms seem to be constantly moving as well???
I think starting at a slower speed and gradually getting faster instead of jumping straight to break neck speeds would help as well.

[Click the yummy Apple]

It exists???

[Cuppin N' Buppin (DEMO)]

Not much to it.
Scroll speed is way too fast for both songs, and notes don't appear to follow the beat or any other recognizable pattern.
Controls either can't respond fast enough, or the charting is too densely packed with notes to the point that it's not possible to keep up.
Medals don't unlock, either.

The cup is cute, and the look of the interface for the notes and health look good (and health certainly seems to be working just fine), but the gameplay is not there yet.

DeviousStudios responds:

I would fix those issues but the game is kinda cancelled
