CheckeredZebra's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Socrates Jones: Pro Philo]

I loved this game so much. Thank you for making it!
(Also, love the bit during the epilogue that involved the deer repellant =P )

[Picture Frame]

I've seen this done way too many times, only better. Sorry. :( Like...literally, the other games had the same concept. Going across a platformer in the name of love, and the game would change slightly each screen to match the sentence. That knocks points off for me.

Yea haha

It's so glitchy I can't even finish it. If I click too quickly, the mood meter just resets to full. Even if I have the key, when that happens I have to play ALL THREE DAYS again. Due to the slow-paced nature of the game, this is highly annoying.

I couldn't even finish it due to glitches. I'm sorry, man. :/ It had a lot of potential though, hopefully you'll revisit this in the future and remake it.
(I'd have liked it if you did have actual choice. Like you go to school, the bully hits you. You go home, your dad hits you . That's a more realistic situation, and your whole point about "choosing" what you do wouldn't have been ruined. You'd have to go on a shooting spree either way...)

So yeah:
Needlessly limited choices (what I suggested would make realistic sense and still limit choice)
GLITCHES
Slow paced; no way to skip default walking animations.

*Gets through the first few rooms, expecting this to to be something completely different*

"Hey this is nifty! :D"

*Gets smeared across a wall*

"NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE"

[Ghostly Me]

It was good, but once I hit the slowmo power-up the game became too frustrating to hold my attention. Sorry! I was interested in the story, as well, until it became a "revenge" one paired with said frustration.

[Stranger than Fiction]

Going to be honest. At first I was a bit bored, but as I continued I wanted to see how the story unfolded more and more.

Noticed you spelled some letters at the bottom where you switch letters. I didn't get any meaning from them, but it was fun to notice they were there and discover even more words. :]

[no-one has to die.]

I really liked this game, and will be adding it to my favorites shortly. :p
It was quite compelling! My only complaint is, I wish the puzzles had been slightly harder in some instances. For me, they were all fairly straight forward.

:]
Hope to see more from you.

[A small talk]

Fun fact: Ask "Can I have some water?" after beating the game once. I mean, damn. Brilliant.

[NONDEVICER]

I thought the game was going to be really, really cool. HOWEVER...

Never make a precise platforming game have a SLIPPERY floor. Every time I made a mistake, I thought "AUGH this is frustrating!" instead of "Well that was my fault, I should try again. Maybe I'll be better this time around."

That is when a game becomes more "unfair" than "challenging." And you can only take so much unfairness before getting worn out from the game and wanting to stop.

It was fun and killed some time, but I honestly expected there to be more to the story.

I mean, would there not be other people around to build the moon station? Perhaps there would be some controversy or conspiracy plot. Maybe he goes back in time only to find out his co-workers are plotting to kill him, idk. There's just a lot more you could have done with this, and I'm sure you could have added spiced it up a bit even with your time limit. =P
Either way, good job for a 48 hour game! It was as good as one that had much time spent on it.

That is, well..until it ended suddenly. =P
