Joachim-Berger's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Into Ruins]

A very engaging, cool game! I playing quite a lot, compared to other newgrounds games. It's fun, but also frustrating when the rng just doesn't give you the tools to survive. Good tactics are needed to win, but ultimately, if and when I win is a matter of endurance and luck, not my skill, which takes a bit of the fun out if it for the kind of player I am. It does deserve its awards!

SparseGameDev responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I've just released an update that makes item spawns more consistent; hopefully it will cut back on the RNG aspect a little and make more runs viable.

I can feel the strong emotions that went into this project. I think I have felt something similar throughout my own life, so I can sympathize.
The content I can not give a rating, instead the rather low score I gave is due to the presentation. I assume English is not your first language and thus mistakes are understandable. More important to me however, is that you used many pictures and soundtracks without stating if you made them yourself, used an AI, aquired licences, commissioned them, found them under the public domain or anything else really.

ElvenNeko responds:

All of the images were AI generated, the artist is Midjourney. The soundtracks are from royalty-free music sources, also there are two songs from major bands, and they are creditted in setup. But since i found no way to upload a setup on this site, it's not visible. Also i found out that main menu music simply does not load here, and timings are also broken in web version. So for the full expirience and all the credits you can look for install package on itch: https://elvenneko.itch.io/alien
