[Tank Search]

I had a good time playing.

This was such a simple concept for a game, yet it is so addicting. My friend and I had you use a walkthrough, yet we still couldn't get find the last tank. I thought the voice acting every five or so levels was actually amusing, it was a refreshing voice that recorded my progress. I could play this for hours if it had more levels.

Just it being one challenge in the gme can manke people lose interest. Maybe you could have eater egss or something to keep the player's eyes peeled, just for a little bonus. ALso, I'd recommend allowing users to upload their own pictures for this to hide the tank, it would make the game much more entertaining.

I thought you laid out the game well and all of the tanks were hidden creatively. My favorite level was probably the Super Paper Mario one. It was like Where's Waldo, only better. Keep up the great work!

[Gray]

A nice experiment to stretch your mind.

You made a very creative game. I might be worng, but my interpretation of the meaning of the game is that your words can change other people's opinions if you meet them in the middle, but sometimes what you create can lead to your own destruction. The artwork was nice, I like the grayscale effect. The controls were also simple to learn.

The only flaw was that the game got pretty repetitive. It didn't annoy me that much, but since there was only one concept in the game I lost interest after a couple of plays through it. It just needed some extra thing to give it more meaning and to make it have a higher replay value.

Overall, I thought this was a fascinating game. Skimming through the reviews, any of the users' logic behing the point you are trying to make could be correct. I hope to see more work like this from you in the future. Keep up the great work!

[- Music in Motion -]

A challenging and creative game.

This was game was pretty exciting, it kept me entertained for a while. I enjoyed how each of the levels had its own different theme, my favorite was the disco ball level. You timed the rising platforms with the music perfectly in the levels. I didn't get very far, but I still found this game to be amusing.

Only on the first level did I really notice that the game had some lag in it. The other levels had some too, but the first level stuck out to me. Also, the side-scrolling on the first level got annoying by having limited movement. An instructions section would also be nice to help theplayer figure out the main objective of each level.

I'll come back to play this game every so often mainly to achieve more medals. I think rhythm games are fascinating, your animation and programming skills are very good, you show much talent in those categories. Keep up the great work!

[turnz]

A pretty good challenge.

I thought this was an interesting game because it stretched you mind. The rotation controls made you think and plan out your moves ahead of time, it required a lot of logic. The animatioon and controls were nice. It took me numerous tries on the death block levels, but I still thought this was an amusing game.

I recommend trying to add some new features to it. I've seen several games that focus on the concept of rotation and gravity, this really wasn't to different. The teleport blocks and doors were creative but it started out way too slow. If more creativity is expressed, the replay value should definately increase.

This was a enjoyable game. It became repetitive at times, but the online feature was fun to use, I am definately going to send some levels to my friends. I'll recommend this to the puzzle games collection for you. Keep up the great work!

[Perfect Hair 2 Hollywood]

Fun at first, but the repetition kills it.

The animation and controls of the game were decent. It seemed like it was Diner Dash, except the stting is a hair salon. The music and sound effects were nice too. I would just add more of a concept to the game, simply cutting and dying people's hair makes the entertainment limited.

I didn't see much of a challenge within this game. It was like you played on the same level the entire time. It is too basic of an idea to be left alone with a simple task like cutting hair, there should be more features. Adding difficulty will make this game's replay value much higher.

I recommend increasing the difficulty and adding more things to do in the game. As long as there is a challenge it will be more amusing to the player. Keep up the good work, I'll be on the lookout for more things from you!

[The Arrow Of Time]

A highly addictive game with a great story.

This was really one of the better games I have played on this website. I enjoyed the storyline of the game, it was fun to follow with all of the changing warfare. The concept of the game was creative, I liked the whole fighting through time idea that this game expressed. I'll try to break it down for you a little more.

I thought the Toot and Peep characters were lovable guys. I like the style you used to create them, the technique you used made them look very nice in all of the action parts. I thought the dialogue between the two rebels was funny, especially when Toot hid in the shadows at the end.

As for strategy, the best idea I came across was combing homing arrows and explosive arrows, you should fully upgrade them to get the compete advantage over Toot in the boss battles. All of the defnse upgrades with forcefields and barriers were necessary in my opinion, the turrets are only important if you want all of the medals.

The animation was excellent. It looked awesome when the clock was rotating to show that you were in a new era. I also thought the way you animated the backgrounds were cool, my favorite was the Victorian era, I thought that one had the most creative enemies.

The only thing that keeps me from giving this a perfect score is the lag I experienced while playing it. I turned off the animation and set it to low quality, but the game was constantly freezing. Yet, that was the only problem I experienced, the rest of the game was delightful.

Another thing that improved the game was the music you selected, I thought each of the songs set the mood of the level perfectly. You have a good ear for that, the title menu fit together with the music. You did a great job of setting the tone, even a trivial addition like selecting the right music can really benefit a game.

Overall, this was an amusing game. I only achieved a few of the medals, but I am sure I will play this game several more times. A frozen screen occured every so often, but the gameplay and controls made up for it. I hope to see more work like this from you in the future. Keep up the excellent work!

[Powerpool Frenzy]

The entertainment is limited.

This game was amusing, but for a shortened amount of time. I thought the controls were nice and it was a good twist on normal pool. The power-up balls were good additions to the game, my favorites were the orange and gray ones. It was a decent game with alright graphics.

I was somewhat disappointed that this game was not very different from Powerpool 2. I was expecting some new power-ups, but it felt like I was playing the same game. I also preferred having a limited number of cue balls than competing against the time limit.

The game could definately use some new features to make it more entertaining, perhaps some upgrades on cue sticks or something. The game had a moderately low playability, but making it stand out would be something that would draw me back to playing it. Keep up the good work!

[Apartment 13]

A good mystery to solve.

I took me two tries, but I finally captured the culprit. After the first playthrough, it became so obvious who commited the crime. I have a somewhat interest in forensic science, so I found this game to be pretty entertaining. The animation and controls were smooth as well.

As I said before, this was an amusing game. I would recommend making it longer though. It also seemed as if the autopsy point in the game did not have a real purpose. Just exploring the victim's house and the suspect's characteristics was not enough.

You have a good game here. I enjoy most mystery games, and this one was a fun one to play. I'll recommend this to the adventure game collection for you. Keep up the great work!

Death is enjoyable in many ways.

This was a pretty silly game. I thought it was amusing how such an innocent looking ball would have death upon it in a matter of seconds. The animation was decent, and I thought the music was clever since the theme of the game is so dark. Like several other users said, the game just needs a few more buttons and then you will be in business. Keep up the great work!

Thanks, I will!

[Barbarian Bob [Remake]]

A nice platformer.

I enjoyed this game because I felt it had a good plot and the fact that you can create you own controls. The game itself is really fun, it reminds me of old school Zelda in a way. I only managed to get the rags to riches achievement, but the other ones will hopefully be mine soon. The animation was very cool, I never played the original Barbarian Bob, but this makes me want to give it a spin. Keep up the great work!
