[Secret of Mystery House 2]

Spooky and Mysterious!

Short sweet and simple point and click adventure requiring you beat the clock. Great animation and music. I also enjoyed the tune from the record player. I only wish there was something menacing to try and kill me, but like you said you made this game just for the fun of it. Keep up the good work!

RetroRex responds:

Thanks for the great comment. Actually since the first game I wanted to add some kind of threat in the game, but left it more as an exploration only game. BUT, I am using the same format of this game to do a survival game, where the player is barricaded on a mansion, and its about moving to different rooms, and putting on defenses and backtracking until your have to do a last stand and fight against a horde of _______. Time will also be a factor. Thanks again. Glad you enjoyed it.

"About Time"

Games like this one is one of the main reasons that I keep coming back to Newgrounds. Great run-n-gun platformer with a twist. The worm kept me on edge throughout the entire game, forcing me to retrace my steps and find the best possible routes. Out of all the guns I really enjoyed the mine bag the best. The way it would scatter the shrapnel towards hordes of enemies made it a must. Especially after purchasing to damage sockets and one special, soon I was practically invincible by the time I reached the last five levels. I'm not sure what 'Berder' was talking about. I experienced no lag and the worm wasn't nearly as impossible as he made it sound. Either he has a slow connection or he just didn't utilize the upgrade system correctly. I really enjoyed this submission and look forward to a follow up in the near future. 5/5 10/10

I'm glad to hear you like using the mine bag - it's the least popular weapon according to the stats :(
I like that gun too!

"House of Dead meets RPG"

After twenty-seven long minutes I've come to realize, this game is awesome! The character classes meshed perfectly with the story and the upgrade system was flawless. I think I would have liked the game to be a bit longer though. Maybe the file was getting too big or you just didn't have enough time to expand, either way the end feels a bit rushed. I think it's great that there is going to be a sequel but I think I would have had a lot more fun maximizing my upgrade system for a glorious final confrontation. All in all great game and please make the sequel longer so that we can help our character classes grow. 5/5 10/10
