TolaceWorks's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Walk in the Woods]

i mean. it was fine? a bit of a nothingburger. i just walked forward, drank my beer, ran when i got told i could run, and found the home instantly. did i miss something?

[The Blue Cartridge]

I think what's driving me crazy about this most is how much the early game feels like a real Game Gear entry in the Sonic franchise. Like Sonic Chaos or Sonic Blast or something. Even the chiptune remixes of Sky Sanctuary and so on feel like it came from the era!

Anyway, this game was genuinely impressive. I wasn't sure at first, I thought it'd be another EXE slopfest, but it reminds me a lot of Hellfire Saga (The S3&K romhack). The late-game spriting and writing is just stellar, and it feels very polished! Thank you for this <3

SomewhoRandomLol responds:

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed the game, that shows that 3 months of development weren't wasted

[Help! I'm Trapped on The Torment Trapeze]

it was very hard to understand at first but i got it in the end. so fun :3

[DOOM: The Gallery Experience]

i dont think it can be said enough just how INCREDIBLY you captured the feel of DOOM, despite this being made in Construct. like, you could convince me this was a .wad very easily. yes, its functionally simple at its core, but its DOOM, its cute, its fun! who cares if its 'simple'. keep at it mate :3

[Citizen Pico: Pico's School IV]

i meant to write a review for this ages ago, when i beat Hitler for the first time, but i forgot cuz i was annoyed that i missed an achievement. turns out i was stupid, just waited on the death screen and got it lol

anyway. once again, Kolumbo, you have done an incredible job at capturing the style of the early 2000s! it really does play and feel like old-school Pico, from the bullshit fights to the random interactable objects (e.g. the fire extinguisher) to the stupid edginess, and thats genuinely impressive :3

Kolumbo responds:

people usually miss the T in DOKTOR medal, so that's refreshing to see!

thank you so much, and thank you for following me - you brought me to 1k!!!!!

[Waha's Circuit Break]

im so glad to see the second half of Robot Daze is finally out :3
and its just as good as i was expecting, if not WAY better! i love the Waha games :3

[Windowz 98 NetTowns Edition]

why did i read all those Everybody Loves Raymond fanfics...

Kolumbo responds:

me and you both buddy

[Annalynn MD]

this is a STELLAR take on the Dr. Mario-like puzzle format.
I think the biggest stand-out to me is the depth of field. The game is 2D and only lets me see a small bit at a time, but I can understand where I placed everything in the capsule regardless! It makes management significantly better.
Also, shout-out to the art and music! It's really cute and helps give it its' own feel.

I really hope this game gets support for the Newgrounds leaderboard! I think being able to see other people's high scores would be awesome :3

[Character Select Collab]

this rules :3
all the art is great! also Sonic lol.

[SCAMS_FOR_THRILLS]

this is like taking candy from a baby. which is fine by me
