Marckel's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Adventures With Anxiety!]

Absolutely beautiful! A fun, relatable game and a thoughtful session of self-introspection at the same time. Keep it up and thank you for the experience!

No instructions, unclear objectives and overall unpolished. Solid concept but ultimately unfinished.

[Lite Cycl]

That was quite fun actually. Would be great if extended beyond a sandbox. Small bug: can't seem to respawn if not immediately or very soon after dying. The Z button just wouldn't work. Good luck on making the ARG!

[Planaris 2]

The game looked quite promising with its simple yet interesting mechanics but for some reason I couldn't get past the tutorial even after completing it twice!

Edit: I did get a "level cleared" sort of popup showing the score but after jumping over to the world map, the next level was still locked.

BryceSummer responds:

Hmm... That's odd -- did it have the popup that said "Objective Complete" for the tutorial level after you finished all the steps?

[The Infected]

There wasn't anything unique about the gameplay and the cursor gets stuck pretty easily (I'm using Chrome on a laptop). A few extra game mechanics would've been a great improvement.

[A shard of mine]

I think what really reeled me in for the game was the cryptic yet interesting enough plot and the game mechanics. Learning the ropes was tremendously easy. It was definitely a success for a quick browser game to spend an hour on after abusing OTKs and getting pummeled for recklessly rushing to final boss.

The problem however, was that for some reason all my third skills bugged out after a while and became unusable (the button wasn't clickable). I don't know if this was a mistake on my part, but if there was a way to reverse this, it wasn't clear enough and that ruins the appeal of simplicity the game had.

3.5/5 beautiful water effects by the way. Also would've benefited from better (or at least a variety of) attack animations.
