Holmfry's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cat Astro Phi]

Absolutely convincing!

Incredible! This could've been on the actual gameboy, you recreated the feel of it perfectly! And if anyone knows, it's me.. the guy who clocked 3 lifetimes' worth of hours into that little brick. Little details like making the space scenes mostly light in the background, instead of black (as they would've had to on the actual unit back in the day due to the motion blurry screen) makes it a completely awesome homage!

The game itself is awesome too! The music fits the style and I foresee many hours sunk in this spectacular retro title! Keep 'em coming!

You made my day!

Retro style gameplay & graphics, awesome soundtrack and ZOMBIES! This is a work of art. :^D Keep up the awesome work!

Makes me want to play it on an actual arcade cabinet!

[Rolling Fall]

Strangely amusing!

Great puzzle mechanic, and it made me snicker every time I knocked a zombie off of a ledge. Great job!

[Greek & Wicked]

Great minds think alike?

Wow, man - awesome recreation! Love the QTEs, nice touch ;) I never thought I'd see someone else think of a Game & Watch: God of War concept.. check out mine!

Hey, hi Holmfry :)
I saw it a year ago then totally forgot it. Your game is closer to a Game & Watch gameplay than ours :) We like it a lot.
Thanks for your message !

[Game & Watch: Bird Hunt]

Classic!

Love it! Excellent Game & Watch recreation!

To those below me.. wow, do some research on what a Game & Watch was, then come back and try it mmmkay?

[Hippolyta]

Awesome!

Love reaction games like this, very awesome. Gorgeous graphics, too, and the story is driving me to keep trying to finish it.

Also, not to be crass but I can't stop watching the bewbs swaying hypnotically, I'm sure that caused at least a few deaths. ;)

Zelda 2 + Kirby + Castle Crashers

= EPIC WIN! You sir, have just won the internet.

Zelda 2 was the first NES game I ever played, and remains my favorite to this day. The references to it in this game were great! The way you adapted the gameplay to fit your style was fantastic.

But above all that, the true testament to how AWESOME this game is: I, Holmfry, He Who Has No Attention Span, played the entire game start to finish in one play-through.

I love this game, it was tons of fun.. and the adorable voice acting is gold, too!

[Wall Walker]

Frikkin awesome!

The first time I rotated the world, I said "whoa." and decided this game was going in my favorites. Now to try and beat it!

Good job, really unique concept. :)
