[Rob Ford's Career]

Ehhh.... I was hoping for something better, especially since I actually am from Toronto. Not only has Rob Ford most definitely had more than 10 scandals, (just check out some of the racist and backwards things he says, his drunk driving miming, or his blatant homophobia, the crack use is just the tip of the ice berg) but the gameplay was repetitive. There is no variation in the jumps, and the graphics are terrible. 0/5 dude

McTaku responds:

Yea I'm from toronto also and this project was a complete joke lol no intention of being good because it was a satire piece for my Grd 10 English class a while back. Just thought some people could get a kick out of it x3

[You won't tell anyone?]

I'm not rating this game, because I don't know what to rate it. I don't think the subject matter you chose for this is appropriate for a one week project. First of all, this childhood trauma, is not a phobia. A phobia is an extreme or irrational fear of something. This is a game about someone who was abused as a child. Not wanting to be abused does not equate phobia.
I also am not sure about the kind of message you might send to survivors of this particular kind of abuse.
SPOILER ALERT
Your endings are either suicide, murder, and the final more positive one is touched on so briefly and done so in a manner that the abuser calls the protagonist out for 'running away.' So basically, if a survivor plays this 'game' you will be conveying that their only options after something incredibly horrible such as this happens to them, are to kill their abuser, kill themselves, or run away, which is portrayed to be almost cowardly in the game.
People who have gone through this sort of trauma often do consider suicide, and this game isn't helping stop that stigma. There's a whole culture surrounding this kind of trauma, and it's not a pleasant one.
I understand that there was a lack of development, but I think that there may have also been a lack of empathy, understanding, and a surplus of ignorance.
Perhaps if you somehow extended the slightly more positive ending, and maybe did a little research, it could be a little better, and less triggering.

[#Escape: The Waiting Room]

I had a lot of fun with this one!
It seemed to be at the perfect level of difficulty, as I find that often times escape games are either way too easy, or are pretty much impossible. I also liked how the graphics remained consistent, and that there was actual logic going on to solve the game. There was no National Treasure with Nic Cage kind of logic going on, so it was great! One of the first good escape games I've played in quite a while to be frank! :)

Aprime responds:

Haha, thank you very much! :)
Glad you thought the graphics remained consistent. Haven't seen many games whereby they don't but it's nice to know :3

Thanks for the review! xD

[Kick Out Miley]

it was all good until I realized it's the exact same as your Bieber game. You didn't even take out Bieber's name from the Quest section. They all read Finish Bieber, Shoot Bieber 100x Times, and so on.

[The Dumb Quiz]

it's nearly impossible to pass the levels with the bombs and buttons. The only way to pass it is to right click to pause the game. The graphics could use some tweaking. This isn't bad for a first attempt though, but I'm not sure that it's newgrounds worthy just yet.
I hope to see more stuff from you in the future, practice makes perfect!

[PonyPOOP]

It is good in the respect that this is the first game you've made. (Also, props for using HTML5 instead of flash.) However, I'm not sure if newgrounds is necessarily the best place to put things like this up.
I've never watched the my little pony show, nor do I plan on it, ever, but I'm not totally sure how the plants and wizard fit in. Also, the font used on the menu made me cringe. Look up pictures of unique typography, and try showcasing your work a little better.
It's a great first attempt, however I think newgrounds is more about showcasing yourself as an independent game designer, and can help get you started and noticed in a company. You're off to a great start, but I don't think this should be uploaded here. I hope to see some of your stuff in the future though, practice makes perfect!

Luminem responds:

That's true, I think, the yours is the best review I've ever read. I'll try not to upload a poop here next time, I'll try to improve myself. Thank you very much from heart. :')

[Random Anime Girls Jigsaw]

there was a missing piece. :/
I'm not even joking, I used the normal difficulty with a puzzle that looked like a brunette on a bridge in a forest, and I got in all the pieces, except for one in the 5th column and fourth row. All the pieces look like they are where they belong, and I've tried clicking everyone to check, but I can't find the last piece anywhere. :/
