Alllexia's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Slimilization]

If this game had a button to re-center the map to the city, it would be an easy 5 stars.
It's a really fun game!

[The Mirror]

There are few games that brought tears to my eyes and made me want to hug the developer(s). This was one of them. The story was so beautiful, the quotes so inspiring it is impossible not to love it.

EnameledKoi responds:

Wow, thank you so much for playing and for the heartfelt review. I am so happy to hear that the game touched you; I made it hoping that at least a few people would feel that way. Thanks again for writing about it, I needed this encouragement today.

[SOL: Dawn]

It's been so long since I first finished it and it still has a surprising amount of replayability. Great story, good character creation, smooth controls, not much else to be wished for from an RPG.

[Saccharine: a sim date]

I recognized it's one of your games from the gorgeous slightly unnerving art. The story is so heartbreaking I cannot understand which one is the happy end. I played them all and by the last one I was left saddened to bone. That's not to say I didn't love it. I must say, had Branwen gotten smitten by any of the men I would have been disappointed. She's a great character.

[Bunni: How we first met]

Oh, bummer. This game was amazing, I played it over and over again on pretty much every site I could find it on. Now I randomly found it here and it breaks my heart to see it stopped working.

[Caved In]

Really good game, with high replayability. It's exciting and can keep one distracted for hours.

[Reincarnation: LEET]

Ah, it;s been so long since I've seen a reincarnation game!
Even though it was so short, it keeps the same humour and good plot.

[Recordshop Tycoon 2]

It is hard to say whether my rating is so low because I was expecting more from a sequel to what was a pretty enjoyable game or because of the fact that it was really hard to play. But mainly the latter.
The game is beautiful, to say the least. The animation is very fluid, the idea with the blueprint for the build menu is pretty good, the colours are engaging and the tile builder may be the most elaborate way of customization for floors I have seen in a sim. Moreover, the news and the e-mail system provided both entertainment and a good way of building an evolving world as context for the game.
However, for every good part, there are quite a lot of bad parts, that made me give it such a low rating:
Firstly, the fact that some info in the tutorial couldn't be accessed after finishing it. It took me forever until I saw that info on how to rotate items could be found on the author's comments as well.
Secondly, the fact that you can't return to the main menu from the game. This is a problem because it forces you to refresh the page every time you want to restart the game.
Thirdly, as it has been said before, the game has to be refreshed before every seventh day. I am not sure what version I'm playing as I couldn't make out what it said on the phone, unfortunately.
Fourthly, even though the blueprint idea is good, the fact that if you build a square that is blocked by existing furniture you must delete it, go to the buy menu, move it if you have space (hint: you usually don't because that's why you're expanding your shop) and then return to the build menu tu build it again is frustrating to say the least (that is actually what made me rage quit before amassing the money to move to a better area and see how the rivalry between the player and the other companies unfolds). Actually, I'll replay it if this is fixed, since, as I said, it's a really good game, and I wouldn't mind refershing it a billion times.
Ah! I almost forgot. I read just about everything in the game and I have yet to figure out what the yellow records with a question mark mean when said by your customers. Do they mean that you don't have the genre they want? If so, it would be more useful to actually have a way of knowing what they want.

[Where Adabanas grow: An a]

It is always a pleasure to see time travel done right.
I love how unpredictable the endings are, you never know when a good ending will tear your heart to pieces and when it will be heartwarming and positive.
Also, if we choose the ending with the general or with the physician, does it mean that we create a paradox and none of this would have happened and the emperor is alive? I shouldn't have asked that, not my head hurts.
On the down side, the buildings, even though they were drawn differently, are particularly hard to recognize and remember which one represents what.

Amiralo responds:

Yes. If Naomi chooses Wushang or Jyuge, Changya basically uses Naomi knecklace to go back to the modern world while Naomi stays forever in the past.

[Reverie: an odd sim date]

I usually don't play dating sims, and when I do, I dislike them and quit quickly, but I must say, this game was amazing.
The art style is beautiful and so fit with the dream theme and the fact that one can only understand the full significance of her dream by getting all endings makes it pretty engaging. I loved the fact that the dialogue was pleasant and no matter how many times I had to start over, it didn't get boring or repetitive, since there was always a small detail I hadn't noticed before.I didn't like the fact that if you got killed, you had to start over from the very beginning, no checkpoints and all. However, the times I died before realising what I did wrong were not enough for it to become tedious.
I loved how, even though this is a dating sim, every ending had its twist, and it wasn't the same "And they lived happily ever after and made lots and lots of babies", but in stead revealed some of the mystery.
There is one thing I have to know: the Joker's nightmare ending is the one where you loop back to the beginning or is there another one?

Amiralo responds:

Nope. Joker's nightmare ending is if you managed not to die on the 30's day but didn't end up with any of the guys either.
Just raise one of the guy's affection points high enough for them to give you a knife, then kick them to the curb by sleeping away the rest of your days.
