crount60's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[AshBelt]

As always you have a way of doing art that is simply touching. I love the atmosphere, I love the art, the way you synchronize the music, the way everything works. I also love the fact that this happens in the same timeline as Armed with Wings. I dislike the fact that when I want to immediately turn, right or left while I'm running, it doesn't listen to me, for instance, I cannot turn left or right when I jump. Might just be me.

Great stuff, I love it, and I hope we can get to see more things from you.

Would be awesome to have a contest with regard to who gets the bigger score in this game.

Again, am having a blast with this. Keep up the good work and thank you!

[Sonic RPG Episode 10 - The Final Chapter]

Hope you're well!

I haven't played this yet, I will just leave a review and provide 5 stars already. Finally, it has come to a finish.

We hope this won't be the last we see of MidNightMaren. I've been waiting for 14 years for this series to come to a conclusion, and it is great we finally have it here.

I've shared this with my childhood friend. We've been into this since 2006 man... feels like eons ago.

I will restart the entire series to remember exactly each event from Sonic RPG and then get to this episode, can't wait to see what awaits me.

Love you guys for inspiring our childhood! All respect. Be proud of this!

great game, played this 9 years ago. What's good, remains good!

[You Broke the Game]

Okay...

Let's see...

Influences - Mario, Plants vs Zombies, sound FX Sonic & Knuckles.

I like it. I went through it 1 go without dying. The game is challenging a bit.

The game style also reminded me of some games I used to play, back in the day. Good times, good days. The only thing I don't quite seem to like is that it is short.

Overall good piece!

[Culmination]

I was introduced to this game back in 2012 by my sister. I've replayed it... It's just wonderful!

[Sonic RPG 10 Demo]

*Constructive Criticism*

Before I begin, I gotta say that, personally, as a 2005 fan of this series, I didn't feel as I was playing the SONIC RPG series/sequel, but another game.
Flash wise, it was ok, it was weird seeing the DBZ kamekameha sort of thing being found in the flash but meh...

Animation wise though... its... I mean you tried... it looks fine for a small 'demo' fan-made project.

But let me get myself clear on why I said, that I feel as though I was playing another game.

Its not something that MidNightMaren and his crew, would do. (FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AND JUDGING ON THE WAY HE BUILT HIS FLASHES... -NOT SAYING HIS IS BETTER THAN YOURS OR WHATEVER)

The style is different, in animating, but even when you look at the way you made the flash sprites move and the effects which you've added (I mean, don't get me wrong it looks alright), but it is not something that I feel MidNightMaren would do. Also on those effects, they've kinda been used like idk... 1000 times already for the past 10 years? Come with original effects and you might land your mark on the audience

The 'Fighting Style' to say the least, and I think I already pointed that out... it is the same DBZ corny ass fighting. On the other hand if you look at Sonic RPG 8 last cutscenes, man that was some nice choreography over there and the effects were self-made (FROM WHAT I KNOW) which I believe it brings a drop of originality... the way it was made it was so nice to watch, that it also keeps that atmosphere alive even to this day.

Personally, I got to a point in which, I no longer care if there would be an episode 10... we as people that appreciated the project waited for so long, and still keep on waiting, but if the EP.10 ain't going to be released by the official Author of it, then I don't really see the point in having it created by someone else.

4.5/5

[goodbye, doggy]

It made me feel a bit sad.
Adorable game

[Street Fighter LoA]

I left like, back a while ago, a review on your SF loa 2(bugged demo)

And now, for the sake of nostalgia, I've decided to replay this bugged but great masterpiece made by you as a fan.
I want to say 1 thing. This game... like, it sucks. I mean I love it, but... the whole situation sucks.
You quit on finishing this. This isn't fair for us. This needs to be finished.

I remember like, that a while ago, when I've played this back in like 2011 or so, I was reading the comments and saw how you replied to each individual, mostly letting us know that a 2nd part for this nicely, intelligently, artistically made flash, was going to be released soon. A few years later and, yes I understand, life happened, and you came to the conclusion that LoA won't have a 2nd part, but it will be left with this cliffhanger.

I want to say that I grew up in the age of Sega Genesis, and through all those well and nicely made games, I had this cartridge called Street Fighter: The New Challengers 2. So you can understand that it really made me feel nostalgic playing this, not only because I've played LoA back when it was released and few times after that, no... but it was AND because I was into SF since I was a child.

Yes this is a really selfish comment I know. I just want to say that I respect you, and the way you made this is, actually really incredible, just like a movie...YOU HAD ME THERE, mate... You TRULY, without EXAGGERATING, had me there, I was hit in the feels, I had a few chuckles here and there, I had goosebumps at times (RYU going into SATSUI NO HADO) but overall... If I were to choose... I would've never played this, since it has no sequel.

A lot of movies and series and even fan made games or flash movies (to name a few fanmades which gave me similar feelings - SMBZ/Sonic RPG and so on) which have no continuation or are just left unfinished, should I've never played or watched them in the first place. Even if they build me as a person, and probably leaving the series with a cliffhanger has the public more engaged with the actual movie/game and has the public thinking at it so much after the ending episode, still I'm left with a feeling of that I'm incomplete.

You made this so well, that I actually think of this as being truly the timeline of Street fighter.
I've actually looked it up and Gouken actually dies by Akuma. A very well made flash movie focusing on the youth of Ken Masters and Ryu. You get attached to the characters and, bro it really hits you in the feels.

I've wrote such a review because I just finished the game on the hardest level(again, for like the 4th time now), and also I see you actually engage with the fans for so many years... and I respect you for that as well.
The game basics and the style of RPG had me crazy, I love it so much and I saw that you are up to create a game as such (i don't know if I heard it correctly) STILL I AM focused on a potential LOA 2 to come out, but whatever you're going to release on Steam with this battle mechanism and cool story with original music / characters and so on, I'm just letting you know from now, that you can have my money.

I hate you, bye! (if u have discord lemme know privately, maybe u need a voice actor for your following games.)

Muja responds:

Hello there!
Sorry for my late reply, but I've had a few health problems during the past few months (nothing serious, I had to have surgery but all is well now!)

Now, to your review... I'm really glad you liked my game that much, and I'm quite sorry you felt betrayed by the ending..!
But let me explain, this is not an unfinished story. This game tells the story of young Ryu and Ken, how they lost their master and cemented their friendship in the meanwhile.
There's more after that? Sure, as Street Fighter is a ever growing franchise, but I can't be expected to tell ALL the story, or I'd never finish! Besides, it's not a story for me to tell.

This game's plot ends with a cliffhanger, true, but that's more of a way to tell you, the player, that SF will continue and to try out the other games in the franchise. Kind of a respectful way to say "Yeah this is only a fangame, if you want more try out the real deal".

By the way, yeah, I have all the intentions to make another game with the same-ish mechanic (maybe right after I release the Zombie Society game on Steam) but of course it won't be settled in the Street Fighter universe because I don't own the rights to that and the web is not as friendly to fangames as it was before.

So, stay tuned, and thank you for your support!

[Moonkid]

such a sad game...
Beautiful...

[Knotty story]

Will buy this game. It seems like something really interesting.
Will it be on steam or something ? or let us know where can we buy it from.
I for one, already love this game.
Peace and love!

CrounchyBrothers responds:
