"It's good."

submission: Tetraform

date: December 20, 2009

It's pretty fun. But as others have said, it needs more to it.

I have a problem with the first minelayer boss. The ability to fly around and smack straight into the spike towers and take them out utterly with next to no damage to himself is wrong. His flight path should either prevent him from hitting it, or he should take more damage, or the spike ball should take less.

Other than that, good fun.

"Meh."

Froze up after killing the second boss. Was fun before that. Enjoyed the weapons selection and methods of upgrading. Also, I liked that the bonuses/awards were clearly defined.

"Didn't like it."

submission: Warface

date: December 17, 2009

I'm guessing the voice was a spanish speaker, reading english to the best of his ability, and given that, the voice acting was ok.

This game is TOO much a rip off of full throttle for me. Seems like it would've been bearable if it weren't for the poorly executed knife game. For example, the guy at the table stabs himself by accident and says ouch just like full throttle. Too much copy. Additionally, the game ends when you stab yourself, even if you clicked nowhere near the hand itself. That irked me to no end and resulted in my quitting playing. I tried that about 10 times and either I ran out of time because I was being really careful, or it 'stabbed' the hand without really stabbing at all.

The puzzles are not intuitive. For example, Cherry says she needs something to put the guns in, but once you get the bucket, she says the same thing with no further clues.

Like others have said, the zones that are enterable are really poorly defined, making it very hard to navigate.

Overall, I wasn't pleased. So many things could've been done better to make this a decent game, but it just didn't come off well at all to me.

"The riddles killed it for me."

submission: Shadowreign RPG

date: December 13, 2009

I was enjoying it for a while, but after getting two of the riddle guys wrong, I quit. "If a third of six is three, what would half of 20 be?" is a stupid riddle, because there are lots of right answers. A pound of feathers is still a pound response is 10, which is wrong. Then, for the third of six is three, there are too many ways to arrive at that mount. There are too many legitimate answers for the player to have only one try.

Score: 3

"Slow..."

submission: B.C. Bow Contest

date: November 18, 2009

This game would be ok, like, a 5/6 if the AI weren't so incredibly slow. I left the game and did something else for the time the AI was playing. Additionally, it seemed like I got no replenishment on my special arrows? That's bull. Too slow and other stuff; I didn't like it.

Score: 6

"Needs better color differentiation"

submission: Phytrix

date: October 29, 2009

It would've gotten more from me, but when blue and purple are essentially indistinguishable and green and yellow very nearly so, the game loses its fun. The level requiring 15 + shaped purples was absurdly hard because blue and purple looked the same. It would be fairly easy to remedy by making the green slightly darker and the purple slightly darker or lighter. Or if you'd rather not adjust colors, maybe add an extra sparkle on the troubling colors to differentiate.

Other than that, I enjoyed it.

"My Dearest Glass Rhythm Fish"

submission: Glass Fish Rhythm

date: October 16, 2009

Oh Glass Rhythm Fish, I love your bassy notes raspy tones so much. Your beautiful appearance and perfect synchronicity have made me so happy... but... I don't feel things are quite right with us. I feel like we're not going anywhere soon. I'm always waiting and I keep having to start over with you and I'm not sure I can keep it up much longer. Sometimes it just gets so monotonous, and I'm just not that patient of a person. If only you were a bit quicker, I'd be able to give you a 10, but I'm just not that way...

...I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's not you, Glass Rhythm Fish, it's me. I'm the problem in our relationship, Glass Rhythm Fish and I'm really really sorry to have to do this to you, but we need to break up. No, no, I wasn't trying to be funny. I didn't mean for there to be a pun... I just really think it's time for us to go our separate ways... I hope you can understand. Please don't cry...

"This game is bull..."

submission: Memoir: Text Adventure

date: October 12, 2009

It was ok at first. A bit annoying in some ways. Eventually health becomes impossible to recover and it seemed like the pain killers and experiment didn't heal me at all. Then in an encounted with 6 ruffians, I chose to protect my body as I assumed protecting both body and head would result in neither being protected. It then said "You wake up 3 days later in the hospital, you could've died" then I died. That's annoying and completely contradictory and bullshitty.

"Inexplicable death"

submission: T E T R I S ' D: The Game

date: October 10, 2009

On my 4th and best run, the guy fell through already settled blocks bringing about losing. Glitches are ok, but in a game this simple and that soon, one like that is frustrating and unacceptable.

"don't like it"

submission: Arthropod Armada

date: October 7, 2009

but I would if it weren't so ridiculously poorly executed. The instantaneous death thing is really annoying. If it's going to be like that, it needs to have many many lives and frequent life replenishment. The powerups are next to impossible to get. You essentially have to be running into the enemies to get them which means death. The boss takes way too many hits before dying. You can't use more than one directional control simultaneously. If you changed all those things, which would essentially be recreating the game, it'd be good. Really, the only thing I'd suggest keeping would be the art.
