fun and funny but boring :(
Reviews for "Retro Knight 5.0"
Takes ages to load, and it took me three tries to get the game working. Then, in the first room, the screen kept flashing for no reason. After that, the tutorial was unhelpful and didn't really explain much, it didn't tell you how to control the game at all besides holding to charge an attack. Also, the tutorial was quite long and got boring after a while. It's a functional game, and it's well polished, but there are some glaring issues.
scpgames responds:
Well for starters, it does sound like you have a glaring internet issue. Only takes me about 4 seconds to load. I can also verify that the first room is in no way 'flashing'. There's also a keyboard controls button on the title screen and pause menu.
A lot of other people are doing a lot of cool things, so it sounds more like your computer than my game. See for yourself: http://retroknight.com/gamestream.php
I'm not giving you my email address just so I can save.
edit: See, the fact that I need a PASSWORD to access my saves on a SINGLE PLAYER GAME is equally ridiculous.
scpgames responds:
Then don't. Type in butts@butts.com. I don't care. You won't get a way to recover your password is all.
Thanks for the zero vote because of this, btw. That part was sarcasm.
EDIT: Since passwords aren't important, can I have your password for Newgrounds?
wtf..?
why are you using flash?
and even with flash it's possible to use localstorage so why did you require us to make an account to save? why not just save locally like a normal human being..?
i saw you tell another person to just use a random email. not the point. it's still a pain and something you have to remember.
and i saw you get annoyed with them for giving you a zero for that reason.
then you need to learn that mass criticism is a sum of rational and emotional feedback. you will get people who vote emotionally (like i'm about to do) and that is a perfectly valid way to vote. the final tally is a weighted average of the scores from people who voted out of anger/love (it goes both ways so why would that be a problem?) and those who voted in some tedious per-category type of way.
also the tutorial never actually tells you any controls... lmao.
why on earth would you have us click to use abilities when we're using the arrow keys..? you actually expect people to move their hands between the keyboard and mouse? that is bad control design. probably the most major cardinal sin of control design.
lmao.. you even have a section in your menu that you can only access if you just think to hit 'shift' and this 'controls' section? doesn't show any controls! it just defines UI elements.
ok i'm done. at this point... the 0 is more than deserved. you're welcome.

Great, another child.
"WA WA WA! This game isn't exactly what I want and I'm gonna act like I know better." - most of Newgrounds
1) I have been using Flash (now Animate) for 15+ years. It's what I know. It's what I love. It makes me the big bucks, and will for a long, long time even after Newgrounds can't support Flash Player anymore.
2) You can't use local storage and then expect the game to work on mobile. Your data would be erased when you had to make any changes to your device. Hence: mySQL.
3) When dealing with logins, refer to #2.
4) Annoyed about the email? Yes. Because its stupid.
5) It is not a valid way to vote because your judgment is not based on the game, but some kind of twisted, righteous vendetta made up in your brain and you just want to bash me personally. Which, cool. I'm not here for you. I'm here for normal/sane/smart people. I expect people you to be on Newgrounds, and it humors me because I get to write responses like this.
6) THERE IS LITERALLY A "KEYBOARD BUTTON" ON THE TITLE SCREEN AND PAUSE MENUS THAT LETS YOU CHANGE THE KEYBOARD CONTROLS TO WHATEVER YOU WANT. LMAO MORE.
7) Mouse/Keyboard? Again, its a mobile game. Jesus. Learn to read. Some functions can be translated to the keyboard easier than others. You ever develop ... idk ... anything ever? Or are you just waiting for "a cute boy to come teach you via webcam"?
Thank you for embarrassing yourself. I save feedback like this to show my dev friends when we need a laugh.
