First of all - I don't get how to start the game - I was waiting, clicking, then I got bored, scrolled the reviews and the game somehow started. Then there's the grammar thing - I get tiny mistakes, but this is almost illegible - I am not from naturally english speaking country (as you can even notice) but these are atrocious. You should at least use google translator to erase the biggest ones (for example "extreamly" "where").
Then I had some serious problems getting what's hp, mp, tp and remembering what all the potions do - I know it may be just mine problem, but some small optional help button wouldn't be bad.
I really liked the snake thing - that all the members were walking in snake formation. The story is really cool and delightful, the graphics is nice, controls are easy to get.
I really liked the ending and the fact that it's half adventure and half fighting,
Reviews for "A Christmas Story"
merry christmas
Graphic wise the game is pretty good story wasn't too bad dialogue on the other hand needs a lot of proofreading there are many many error like misspelling using a incorrect word like using wait instead of way when they fall down into the castle. Kay's status page recently is spelled reccently and deadliest is also spelled wrong. And as dpasta11 stated the last boss battle is broken it gives a [failed to load img/enemies/particle.png] error. I'm using chrome so it doesn't look like it's a browser issue.
THANK YOU GREATLY FOR THE WELL WRITTEN REVIEW!!! i'm so glad even with the bug you ended up really liking what was created! i will deff take notice of thees spelling mistakes within my next game and hopefully keep them into a minimum. also happy to report to you that the bug has been fixed and you can use your old save file!!! HAPPY GAME PLAYING ALSO MERRY CHRISTMAS!
It's an enjoyable game but the grammar is atrocious and it really takes away from the story.
[ZKJ REVIEW] Not bad but needs work.
The first thing I would suggest is an in game title menu with a tutorial for the buttons and action keys and a settings menu in the title screen for audio, graphics etc. .
The second thing I would suggest is a proof reader to correct the grammatical errors. The gameplay and player movement is a bit slow and rough. I would suggest a couple bug fixes and tweaking the game so that it has smoother gameplay and movement.
Cons aside, the pros of this game are quite plentiful as well.
The humor is pretty good and realistic the art and graphics and pretty grade A for this type of game.
I also highly recommend a Newgrounds Medal system as it always improves reviews and it's a good way to give back to the people who play and review your games.
I will give you my full support on this game as long as you take the opportunity to fix what needs fixing and bring this game up to speed.
This game has a lot of potential and I would love to see this game flourish and prosper.
