Quick note when reviewing games, if I list 5 things I like and 10 things that could be better, it’s not that I dislike the game. I’m doing that because constructive criticism tends to be more beneficial than telling someone what they have already done right.
(Also if anyone wants I will do private reviews)
Thanks for the review!
Yeah I kinda forgot to add that level in correctly lol. It was the last level though so you didn’t miss out on much.
I definitely agree on the sound, I might actually take some time to add that in.
I’ll probably be thinking about the art, but I’m not 100% sure what I’m gonna do about it. Right now I have an unspoken policy of not changing my old games too much, just to preserve them. This was I also can keep making new projects instead of constantly reworking old ones. The sound is something that just wasn’t there in the first place so I’ll probably work on that.
I am also working on Gamougg 4 so I can respondd too
Summary
Which green?
what?
That’s just his style the default texture can be modified to look cool
Oh yeah John told me why this is. He said and I quote “Making Enter continue all the bits of text would continue all text so it would skip everything.”
I made a new skin for it does this work?
even i gotta say “augggghhhhhh”
The smaller game screen compared to taile gamougg 3 wouldn’t let John make the same kinds of lengthy messages that he made in that game, so he instead made more short messages instead of less long messages.
which boss though?
lore
It’s anglin’ time (angles)
No its because Gamougg is set to Keep Between Levels. Also stamina is really easy to regain, you just have to kill enemies/bosses, make a vehicle touch an electrolyte vial, or eat and drink food and beverages.
There are hardly any controls compared to Gamougg 3. Even MetaNinja said so in his review, I think it’s just the button combos you’re thinking of.
Are you running out of gravity? Hope not but the gravity is pulling the vehicle down and you have to skillfully keep it up in the air by periodically pressing the fly up button (you don’t wanna go too high!).
Phase 1:
At the start of the level it tells you to touch the blue light block after killing him.
Phase 2:
Kill the beef monster and fly over to the platform where Aurora is waiting with some soda. Talk to her to beat the level. Fun fact: You can “upgrade” the Speedlo G2 by pressing Y+T. This will come at the cost of leaving you temporarily defenseless, but you can easily re-equip all your weapons. The “upgrading” basically transforms the vehicle into a new gunship: the Electrol. It can punch super fast with fists made of pure electrolytes that make enemies drop electrolytes, and it can shoot bullets with an off-screen/invisible machine gun.
bro I thought john fixed this. any way you can fix this yourself in the meantime by pressing Y to unequip all your weapons after respawning. The weapons can be equipped again like this. Don’t forget this fix, as it is rather important for all GamougGaming games.
yeah i dont get this either. john is a strange dude. anyway, I think you can get around this by destroying the wall if you’re playing as Aurora, or using a Botdrone to literally push yourself into the wall, touch the key, and use the Botdrone to get out.
Idk man but everyone wants the music to be AWESOME so John tried, I guess
Just like real life!
how improve pls?
where? i wanna see
Some Answers
I’m talking about the grass/ground sprites in those quotes.
That may be his style, but it can be improve to still keep some of his stylistic choices and look like it fits the game still.
He should be using a Router set to Increment each time it gets an input. Using that will allow him to always use “Enter” (I’m assuming he’s using Text instead of multiple Labels)
A lot of the elements in the game don’t match each other, it’s not just the character it’s how all the other objects work together.
Using a custom text box is still better.
Oops, thought I said which one. I’m talking about meaty.
Well yes, but no.
The controls aren’t overbearingly too much, but it can be shortened. For example, the HJK to switch between weapons could just be J and click J will switch between the 3 (once again a problem solve via a Router)
Honestly, doesn’t seem like a great reason. If you just turned gravity off for it that would be even better.
I completely missed that. And it didn’t look blue, it looked the same as the walls (Display order problem?)
This is another button that should be cut from the game, it should give you your weapons back by itself.
Just the general sounds, nothing specific
tsm.
That might actually be the only thing not from withing the game.
I mean, the game isn’t perfect. It could be good just with an art redo. After that reworking some of the code will make better (For example the jump)
15番: バーガーキングの足レタス. 最後欲しい物はハンバーガーの内に誰の足真菌だぞ。 あのことは可能だけど。。。 匿名で4chanで誰は画像をアップデートした、画像で彼の足はレタス触れてる。。。 確かに靴着た、でももっとやばいね? 投稿したの時間は7月16日午後11:38だった。 20分後にあのバーガーキングの親分は警告された。
It’s all aboveground I just wanted to make the stone blue :)
Idk but I’m using multiple Labels.
My artstyle mixture style failed me :(
So his projectile looks bad? Hmm, I could change it yeah but its supposed to be messy since the monster’s fighting technique isn’t very well-refined.
Yeah but then people would have trouble in level 12, where using the 3 main weapons at once is crucial to the gameplay and story. Gamougg’s badassery wouldn’t be properly conveyed if he wasn’t able to hold and effectively wield a shotgun, an assault rifle, and a rocket launcher all at once.
Again, the character’s awesomeness would be damaged, if not ruined by this. Not only would the game’s difficulty be more casual and boring, like Genshin Impact, but the creativity and imaginative combos that can be done with the Beefblade (boss weapon dropped by the Nightmare Beef Monster) but you also probably wouldn’t be able to gain over 20,000 health like 117JOJO did either.
The light in the middle of the specific single block is blue, but I’ll double-check for visibility issues like Display Order as well.
Gamougg 3’s structure made this a lot easier to fix. Gamougg 4 is literally built different.
TSM isn’t an intentional reference to anything, it’s just an acronym for the mech boss battle that stands for “TT Seething Mecha”. All the current intentional Easter Eggs are in the editor (I’ve forgotten most of them lol).
Art will always be updated as long as I breathe bruh. Even if there are no code changes or other updates.
Thank you again for the review!

Art
What I like about the Art.
- Having different outfits is nice, the color choice seem to match each other decently (besides Brazil having a lime green instead of the darker grass colored green it should be)
- The icons expanding when you’re over them is good, a slight problem is that if the icron is near the edge of the screen it will be cut off.
- The rope for the shop going up is a nice touch.
- Having the sprite go smaller doing the jump is a simple thing, but chefs kiss to that because it looks great.
- For the most of the games, a lot of the objects actually manages to fit the game and has a decent style to it, even the hand drawn sky works.
What aspects of the Art could be better.
- Pixel size needs to stay consistent between all sprites, having it be be different makes it feel much more pixelated, but not it a good way. It shows clear differences between sprites and disconnects some elements of the game with others.
- The Label text style needs to be something that fits the game, what it currently is doesn’t seem to fit the rest of the game.
- Overall I’m not crazy about the sprites in the menu, this is mostly due to pixel size and and not having a consistent color palette.
- Text coloring is also very important and I feel this was misused. There are bright colors so you can tell things about apart, but it seems out of place and distracting.
- The game options could have a lot more character added to them besides the game name and a single object.
- When in full screen, having a black background with the black edge is a little confusing on where the edge of the screen is.
- A design thing, is having objects at the very edge of the screen doesn’t actually look good, having them a couple pixels away is a easy thing to do that can really help the overall look.
- The icons while they convey what they do, still could have more to them to fit the style of the game more.
- The hand goes behind the Labels. This is a Flowlab thing, but if it was a secondary object it could be fixed (I do understand that at the time of creation the Sprite Editor did not have the option to use Text so it’s understandable).
- Alerts don’t look great. Luckily for this game it looks better than in most, but it’s still worse than a custom UI element.
- Another disadvantage to using Labels is that the transition that covers the screen has the Labels over it.
- The gifts chests should fit the style more, this is going to be the last thing relating to art (most of the problems with the art are from the same things; color palette, pixel size, etc).
Fun
Some of the things that are Fun about the game.
- Soccer, while feeling a bit chaotic with the hyper bouncy ball is pretty fun. (ball may be a bit too bouncy so it takes some of the skill away.
- I like Hocky the most, it feels like it has the most control
Some of the things that could make the game more Fun (including fixing bugs).
- Sometimes points are randomly scored.
- I wish there was a 2 player mode to play with a friend IRL
- There needs to be a way to exit the daily boss, it takes a long time to beat and if you want to leave you can’t.
- How do you lose to the boss? It seems like you just wait for it to die.
- The AI isn’t very smart. It works decently and not a lot more could be expected.
- The bumbers are a bit unfair. Sometimes they make you always score a point.
- I wish there would be more varitey between the game modes.
Sound
Sound is pretty decent, the music fits well.
Creativity
A really nice concept, but not quite executed properly. At first I was pretty excited after player soccer to move onto football (american), but it was very similar to soccer (as are all the other games). They each have their own unique concept in them, but I would have liked more investment to make them different.
Overall
Art: 6/10, The style was decently consistent at parts and in others not quite correct. If a few things were fixed it could be a nice looking game
Fun: 6.5/10, It could be even more fun with improved graphics and more unique games.
Sound: 6.5/10, Fit decently well.
Creativity: 6/10,It was pretty creative at the start, but then the other games started to feel a little copy & paste
@MetaNinja It’s a nice game that can be good with a bit more work
Thank you so much for the review @CodeAlpaca!! I agree with several of your points, and this provides quite a lot of criticism I haven’t seen nor considered.
If I may, I would like to address some things you mentioned, including some of my opinions.
Quick Points
These are all common complaints whenever I ask people to share their opinions on the game. When I eventually get back to the game, I will do my best to fix these issues.
For the “copy & paste” problem with the gamemodes, I think the issue was that a lot of the game was inspired by Drive Ahead! Sports, which has a similar problem (except for the racing gamemode). I’ll try to put more thought into the gameplay experience.
There’s a timer at the top of the screen that shows how long you have to defeat the boss. It constantly got extended and squished throughout the development of the game because I was worried about the boss being too difficult or too easy (right now it’s too easy). Also, before I halted development, I was working on a feature where getting surrounded by Husks was a game over. I cannot recall if this is still present, but given how easy it is to kill the Husks, I’m not sure anyone would find that out. I can’t even remember if the boss spawns in the Husks, so chances are you might not know what I’m talking about.
Another common complaint with the boss is that it requires no skill to defeat them. Just wait for them to screw themselves over. At this point the boss might require another rework (the third or fourth in the game’s history).
Eh? That shouldn’t be happening. That is definitely a bug… Oops. 
Fun fact: I was actually planning on doing custom alerts for this game, but I got too lazy. I promise that isn’t gonna be the case for the other games. Alerts are kinda mid nowadays.
As a person with Brazilian blood, I’m embarrassed that I missed this error… 
Again, thank you so much for the review and I’ll take all your praises and criticisms into consideration, both for this project and all others!
Hey my offline best friend (@117JOJO) would like you to review this game for him. May you do it please?
What do you think of my reviews?
- I love it! I like how detailed the review is
- I like it! But I’m not a fan of how in-depth the review is
- Pretty standard
- Meh, some things could be better

Btw how do you like the format? Going through Art, then Fun, etc. And listing things I like and think could be better in those sections? Also do you think the ratings I give reflect what I’m saying in the review?
I guess one piece of feedback that would improve the reviews a bit (from my POV) would be to include the score received in the appropriate section instead of leaving them all at the end. For me personally it’s easier to follow along when reviews are formatted that way.
Everything else is already good enough. Detailed reviews that offer the most feedback are often the better ones.
oh btw I forgot to add the
Final Score: 6.25
Could you review Ducky so far?
i may not be @CodeAlpaca , but that is really good in my opinion. how’d you do the shadow thing?
The ui shadow??
