MinatoArisato's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dungeon Watchers]

Super fun, it has the vibes of janky asian games where the art is good, the mechanics are interesting and different than usual, and you have no idea what to expect in terms of waves, ending, boss, etc. Was surprised when I got to the edge of the screen and warped back to the center by accident. Good feature because I hate the infinite looping of other VS clones. Also Bomber Elf OP, I just went all in on bombs because clearly if there's a character built around them it's probably gonna work. 4:00 wave was very scary with all the little slimes rushing in though.

The game is good, the sound is atrocious.

Sorry about that, you can lower it or mute it in the options

[Deep Snake]

Fuck, that last part was stressful. Cool concept, cool filter or however you managed to make the effect. Got really sketchy when an apple was somewhere deep down and you're just beelining straight down not knowing if an obstacle is going to be in front of you and just quickly trying to avoid.

[Hex Character Maker (Update)]

I had fun with it, the art is nice and cute, and the music was actually pretty comfy to listen to at length.

[Pillow Fight]

Finished it.
Really liked the art direction, very earthboundy with good music and nice textbox sounds/letters.
I liked the bedroom art too, I think its just the colour theory you used maybe? everything is just so nice and comfy to look at. I wish I was able to discern the same qualities if I ever did art.

Another banger from Kultisti that doesn't break my brain as hard for once. No matter what you make there's always puzzle elements and it's always pretty refined. I really liked this one since it was more action oriented and smooth, didn't get stuck twisting the wrong pipe or sliding the wrong block. HOWEVER

I will tell you that 'that level' wasn't that bad, Skatepark despite being a sharp adjustment and dying a bunch ended up being a cool mechanic. Also when I saw 'Final fly' I was like "LIKELY STORY, I DON'T BELIEVE IT." then credits roll and I'm like "Wow I actually completed it without too much wor- "B-side unlocked" NOOOOO!"

So yeah fuk u, but not really. This is great, I'll see if I can get through the B-sides too. Hopefully they aren't too painful.

[Gacha Panic]

Super lucky Gachapon!

[Piñata Poppers]

Numero Uno for today
first time for everything I guess.

It's a little more janky than Suika due to the shapes, but I actually really like the pinata aesthetics and the sounds you used for them, so great job.

[Lumera Numbera's PUZZLE POP]

It's like a more painful Bejeweled that forces me to do math, not a huge fan. It's colorful and the music is good, but the game itself isn't very intuitive, at least with what you start on. Maybe if you started the levels with 1-3 or 1-4 then added numbers after it would give time to understand the concept, but I was legit just clicking stuff and following the prompts looking for matches until I took the time to understand, and even knowing what to do, it didn't feel good to do.
