[Turing Test]

Chat bot!

After the chat bot says "Enough..." it proceeds to type out a long paragraph in a mere few moments. Although this is still a cool concept

[Profiteroles]

Haha...

Reminds me of the first time i saw magical trevor (the first one) Awesome animation.

[Inanimated]

I like your style

"One day you'll leave me David, and I won't be there! and when that day comes I hope i'm there to see your face!"

Awesome line/ ideas and good animation.

[Enter the Dungeon]

Played this game till level 35. Honestly, this game is probably a 3/5 in its current state but I can tell you put effort into this. Good simple game but a couple things that I noticed other people have not mentioned:

1) In game design if there's something you should be doing literally at all moments then that thing should be automatic. There's never a reason to NOT hold down the Left Mouse Button. Holding down LMB got tiring after a while. Make this autofire or put some kind of drawback to constant fire or bonus to not hold down LMB. I ended up jamming this button down.

2) You need a way to get rid of items. After a point picking up boots made me too fast and picking up too many (47) rage crystals made the arrow speed so fast that I had giant blind spots. The arrows were moving so fast that they didn't have hitboxes closes to the avatar. I stopped picking up those items but I would keep getting them in chests (or accidentally running into them because I was going too fast).

3) There's a glitch with the slime spawners. If you kill 2 of the spawners and leave 1 spawner and +1 mini slime alive you could leave the room and rejoin and the room will repopulate (sometimes with Giant slimes). I did this repeatedly to spawn enemies for experience and items. You should probably look into this.

4) A map option would be nice for locations i've already visited. Sometimes I wouldn't be sure what paths i've already gone through. Also, I'm not sure how your game is structured but a return to start portal at the end of dead-ends would be nice spent far too much time going through rooms i've cleared to search for the next floor.

5) After you gain too many level you stop gaining talents. I don't expect you to make infinite options but the ability to choose past talents you didn't choose before would extend the gamelife. Possibly make talents random and repeatable. This would make leveling infinitely useful.

6) I ended up muting this game after the arrow fire rate became too fast.

Good foundation overall. Hope this helps.

1) This is a very good point.
2) Fixed.
3) Fixed.
4) I dislike the idea of having that many free teleports, I like the journey, it makes me feel more invested and doesn't lower the value of floors. The map I'll look into and see if I think it fits in the game.
5) More are coming.
6) This one is funny
Thanks for the review!

Cool idea, like the new elements, need to fix the buttons as it freezes after element creation.

NOTE: To continue after freeze hit TAB until the question mark is surrounded in a yellow box then hit enter. This should *temporarily* fix the problem.

You have to be very exact in your movements to progress!!!

OK so to dodge the knife you have to start moving the INSTANT the mine deactivates, pick up the orange bag then have the the guy in the green vest (starts off to your right) in between you and the guy throwing the knife. SPAM the interact button!!! There's a very VERY small range you have to be in. Once that happens run North and a bit West into the forest (don't waste your time hiding behind the trees as the 2 closest ones will collapse easily and the others have a TINY area which protects you).

Eventually you'll come across water and you'll have to spam the interact button next to the water as quickly as possible, you can only to fill the bottle to about 75% and run. Go past that and you get ambushed not enough water and you die while waiting in the next part. Hide in the bushes and wait for night to pass (its about a 5 minute wait) until you get to the cutscene and save.

Right now i'm stuck because Glimmer is can actually shoot in the game (contrary to the book). Send me a message if you can get past this part. (You probably need to stand in a 4 pixel range i'm guessing).

WARNING: Author is apparently a TROLL and you have to do incredibly specific nearly impossible things to progress. In most cases you have a very small range in which you must stand. I'm hoping there's a more reasonable version made after April Fools because this one is too damn hard.

[ParagonX9 - No. 5 (NG Edit)]

@Alexanderjac

If you go to newgrounds.wikia it states that Paragonx9 is a man, although the profile indicates otherwise. Pictures thought to be of Paragonx9 are apparently of his girlfriend.

Regardless, great song. I listen to this on loop when I need to study. The sound at the middle of the 17th second seems a bit overused in songs, but then again you made this in 2006. If it had a "fuller" sound I would have given it the 10th star.

[Song of Storms Remix [mod15]]

Really good potential but...

There's that stupid beat that starts at 0:26. Now it only becomes a problem at the end of 0:41 when it starts to get irregular. Then it feels like a woodpecker is trying to get in through my headphones.

Honestly if you made with without that beat (or stopped the beat in question at 0:42, or make it not so damn annoying) I would give this a 9/10. I would really like to see you take another whack at this song. I imagine removing it would be the easiest for you if you have other projects you're working on... Hope to see more!

PS: i'd donate but i'm a student and thus so poor I have negative money.

DJSpire responds:

I wish I could remove it.
Like, seriously. It just won't let me. Because it has over 3000 views/listens. But I reeeaaalllllllyyy want to get rid of it.

I may eventually take another crack at it, but not right now. I've got a bigger project at the moment.
And I completely understand the negative money part. I'm a high school student.

On another note, if I do ever take another try, I'll send you a PM about it.

[Mary Zop - Mike Sever]

Reminds me of...

Reminds me of trans Siberian orchestra. Would have been nice to hear something longer (but isn't that always the case?). You made this back in '08 so i'm doubting you'll remake this. It has a very interesting sound to it and I like it, good job!
