"I liked it"

submission: floo

The aesthetics of this short really blew me away. It's clearly not made in Flash but it looked great, I love the effects used for the orb. The design of the little character is cute, too.
I just wish you'd had more time to create more of a story and see what else you could have got out of this! I'd like to see what you make next :)

Shopping Cart Hero 2

"what the hell?"

date: 7 hours ago

I have no idea how you expect me to play this game. I realise there are "jump in, balance" popups but they don't tell me any more than which key to press. Do I hold it? Do I tap it? When? I can't believe you made such a stupidly basic mistake to what should have been a great game.

Ching Chong Beautiful

"Hmm"

date: December 11, 2009

It's a nice looking game and a great concept, but sadly it just doesn't play very well. The controls are incredibly unresponsive (particularly jump) and it just doesn't feel fluid. Also, I don't think I should trip over when I take a running jump and happen to land right next to a little obstacle, despite letting go of the "run" button in the air. It's frustrating. If you could tone down the difficulty and make the game more playable this would have been so fantastic.

Tank in action

"Not bad"

submission: Tank in action
date: December 1, 2009

A potentially great game let down by a poor choice of controls that are far too sensitive. Did you do any research into these types of games? It's evident that the best choice is to have up or W as the accelerate key and have left and right or A and D as the tilt keys. It's just a lot easier for people to co-ordinate that way. As mentioned, the sensitivity is way too high - even tapping one of the tilt keys sends the tank in to all sorts of angles.

It just needs a bit of work and some more bug fixing and this could be really fun. Give it another go, you've got the talent!

Level Up!

"Fantastic game"

submission: Level Up!
date: November 25, 2009

Totally addictive. It's easy to tell you love making games, this has got so much passion flowing from it. This is one of the best Flash games I've ever played.

Unfortunately my game froze after using the giant computer, so when I refreshed the browser I was sad to notice that nothing i had done was saved, despite the end of each nightmare telling me that my game was saved. I don't think I want to go through all that again, so that's a shame.

Nevertheless, the graphics were fun, the gameplay and idea was appealing, and it was well made. Thank you!

Highway Jumper

"Terrible."

submission: Highway Jumper
date: November 22, 2009

The reaction of the character is different each time - sometimes he will jump as soon as I release space, other times he won't jump for a second or two after I release space, meaning he's doomed. The graphics are terrible and you've put the most annoying music in the world in the most annoying game. The reason the preloader doesn't load for a while is because you stupidly put the annoying music on the first frame of your Flash, meaning it loads before the preloader.

Author's Response:

the reason i did that is because if someone goes to the menu again, it starts without stopping the music.

Forever Samurai

"Fantastic"

submission: Forever Samurai
date: November 21, 2009

As usual, the Forever series doesn't fail to disappoint. I had fun with this, but it was a tiny bit awkward with my laptop's trackpad :)

Very stylish, very well put together.

Author's Response:

Good to hear you can have fun even with a trackpad. I'll confess, I really did design it for just the mouse, but I've had a bunch of people tell me it's alright with a pad so that's a relief!

AXIT

"Not bad"

submission: AXIT
date: November 19, 2009

You've put a lot of time in to this and it's well Actionscripted. I was a little put off when the menu screen came up and I couldn't just click "start" and had to navigate my way there instead. Not a huge effort I know, but a minor confusion that could easily have been avoided.

The game was well-made, but sadly it didn't bring anything new to the genre. It was very basic and didn't really consist of anything that made it stand out from the crowd.

A nice attempt though, I hope anything I've said is useful feedback for future projects.

Author's Response:

yeah it is, thanks! tough i don't know how much you played it because there are many different levels and the more you play, the more traps and stuff show up.
maybe you're right about individuality but i think it's just in the first few levels..

Jetpack Jailbreak

"I had fun!"

submission: Jetpack Jailbreak
date: November 9, 2009

It was an entertaining game. What it lacked was longevity. More upgrades and a higher difficulty would improve it greatly, as well as more variation on the obstacles and things to do in-game. Even a nicer-looking upgrade screen would be nice!

However, putting those things aside, you did a great job of actionscripting the game together, and I admire your efforts. The implementation of 3D was a nice touch too. For these reasons, you get a 5/5 and a positive review :)

Zip Zap

"A fun game!"

submission: Zip Zap
date: October 26, 2009

The graphics are great, the audio is pretty good, and it's a nice little timewaster. My only complaint is that there's a problem with flying diagonally and shooting at the same time - Flash seems to lock up when there's more than two buttons being pressed. Maybe do a little Actionscript research to see if there's a way around that. It's evident you've put a lot of effort in to this game though, so there's no faulting you there. Well done :)
