ozuzo's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Homecoming]

Lovely, gut-wrenching feelings aside! I had an idea where this was headed and I tried to brace myself for it, but it didn't stop me from sheding a tear regardless, hahaha. It's so strange that you can grow up to be a person your parents don't know and that everything that feels like home can be so easily undone, I think you've expressed that queer otherness very well here! (which I'm sure a lot of people won't find relatable, but that's how it is with LGTB centric stories, isn't it?)

Anyway, the pacing is really neat and the overall aesthetic is so coherent and nicely constructed with the minimal animations! Love the sort of cutesy, sort of nostalgic old timey style. It just makes sense with the tone of the game! (I had mostly seen your colorful works before, so this feels kind of new to me :0)

Times aren't looking very bright as things stand, but hopefully things will continue to change in the right direction. Thanks for sharing!

Bleak-Creep responds:

Thank you so much!

I always try to change up my style a bit any time I’m working on a bigger project just for a change of pace, along with trying to match that overall tone. :)

Thanks for playing!

Really cool aesthetics, love the high contrast! And the game is really fun too, congrats!

FodderLabs responds:

Thanks for playing!

Glad you enjoyed the contrasting graphics and gameplay!

And from your "Little Flower" game, you seem to enjoy 1-bit games as well! :D (I found the flower!)

[We Have a Game? Demo 2]

Although the playability isn't too complex, I actually really like the aesthetic of the game! (and the fact that you can choose to race your other hand, hahaha)

[Maple's Maid Service]

What an adorable little game! I really like games that are a playable day in someone's life, no more pretenses! I loved exploring the town, sitting on every bench and speaking to the villagers, as well as completing the tasks and petting every single animal! (that will never not be a necessary feature)

My only issue with it would be that I completed all the tasks and went to bed, but for some reason I didn't get the Ultimaid Maidal of Honour? :0 And the tea scene scared me for a sec because I thought the game had frozen and I still had a task to finish, I was glad to find out that this wasn't the case!

Anyway, the game is giving me strong Animal Crossing x 2000s girly flash game vibes (Barbie, Polly Pocket... that sort of thing!) and I absolutely do mean that as a compliment! Perfect balance between wholesome and silly and there are so many details to look at!

Okay, this is getting stupidly long, but I just wanted to say how cute this was, you guys did a wonderful job! I don't know if it's weird to end this review with a rec, but I think you'd probably really enjoy “Catching The Train” by cottonsprout on Itch!

Thanks for a fun experience!!!

Peti responds:

Wow!! Thanks for the kind review!! 🐇💕 Sorry about the medal issue, they appear to be a bit inconsistent. I'll unlock it for you!

['Brain-Toasting Dungeon']

What a charming little game! The onion shaped guy truly is a good character design and the animations are so much fun that no matter the outcome of your choices, it doesn't feel frustrating at all. The game mechanics and general vibes are very "Flashy", love the nostalgic touch!

Butzbo responds:

Woah thanks so much for the review, glad to hear it was a fun time!! (:
