BaconSpider's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[2-Bit Explorer]

pretty neat little game, oddly spooky at times.
kinda cryptic and there are a few puzzles that don't have any kind of hint and you just have to brute force but i still found in enjoyable.
i went through it a few times to get some the the different endings.
the little bits of lore you can find are pretty interesting and i like how picking a patron changes certain items depending on the god you choose.

if you're having trouble finding the 4th and 6th items. on the path to the hammer (the first set of stairs to the right of the main entrance to the labyrinth) there's a locked door you can open with a small key that leads to a room with a small chest, there's a hidden path in that room that leads to one of the items. after you get that item you're gonna wanna look around the whole map.

if you're having trouble finding the underground city. go into the dark maze room and wait about 30 seconds.

kinda annoying how you have to do the combat tutorial before you it will let you fight the bosses but you could probably just make a save right after the tutorial but before fighting any of the bosses so you don't need to redo it every run.

looked everywhere but couldn't figure out how to get the last valac shard. if i stand near the bottom edge of west garden i can see a fan block but i can't figure out how to get to it.

i'm also not really sure what's the point of giving the music box to the little girl.

if you want to go for all the endings i'd recommend making a save after you've found all the items but before you've picked a patron. probably pretty obvious but i didn't think of it until writing this review and it would've saved me a lot of time lol.

sorry if this was a little unorganized or ramble-y. i don't really leave reviews much and have some trouble organizing my thoughts sometimes

[FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN']

pretty good art and music
the games biggest problem right now is performance stuttering and even freezing for a few seconds on some songs, specifically pico and mom stutter a lot and i get a lot of freezing on eggnog
though this could just be a problem with the computer or browser i'm using

something i don't see mentioned a lot is the "level design"? for lack of a better term
most of the songs have a good mix of "calm" and "active" parts enough to keep the player engaged without overloading them

also, for the control mapping it seems you can't bind the triggers of a gamepad? you can set the bumpers just fine but it doesn't let you set the triggers to anything for some reason

[CHAINSAW DANCE]

pretty good
at first i thought the key set up was a bit strange but after using it i found that it works way way better then the normal key set up used by other games
the only like negative thing i could think of is that there are some lag problems but that's probably an issue with my pc
