[my asteroids]

K

^^Good Points^^
A nice new rendition of asteroids with quite a few new innovations. I like controlling the ship with the mouse instead of arrow keys, and the fast paced game play is much more interesting.

^^Needs Improving^^
The main thing I don't like about this is how I got quite a few cheap deaths. The game started me out with an asteroid on top of me, causing me to lose about three lives right off the bat, and this also happened sometimes when new levels stopped.

orv responds:

yeah I'll get round to fixing that soon as I get a chance. thanks for the review

^^Good Points^^
Definitely presented very well and made to look very professional. The graphics were great, with very detailed drawings and lots of good shading. I also liked the different songs in here, they were entertaining. The game functioned flawlessly too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Not really much in the line of items in this game. You only had a few different pieces for each part, and none of them were really that outrageous. This would definitely score higher if it had some more objects in it.

RSQViper responds:

Glad you liked the layout and art and stuff. It was certainly a team effort.

I agree with needing more things to spice it up next time and we will. This was more of a beta than anything to see how it went over and to get used to working with each other.

Thanks for the great review!

[VG Trivia Challenge]

K

^^Good Points^^
Neat game here. I like how it has a few different types of games you can compete in, with both music and trivia. Nice setup. The music and sound effects throughout were a nice addition too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Graphics were a little lack luster. Too many cut images in this if you ask me. You should have had some different images that you drew yourself. Another thing, the animations after questions are cute, but they are annoying after a while.

jogo52793 responds:

Hey- you can turn the animation off in the options menu! Glad you like the game :)

[Lost in dimensions]

K

^^Good Points^^
Not a bad game at all. It's an original idea and has pretty original graphics, which look like you spent a lot of time on. The music and sound effects were cool as well. Playing the game itself was pretty fun. It was challenging as you got onto the levels with the eyes, as the time was much shorter and I had trouble with this one. However, the functioning didn't at all hinder me.

^^Needs Improving^^
Haha, this needs more detailed instructions. At first I thought the broom was a bad thing if it hit my cursor, which caused me to die a lot in the beginning. Chalk that up to me being stupid though.

Abs55 responds:

Thanks for the review, the game's graphics took quite a while to draw and design so thanks for appreciating them. I thought people might understand how to play quite easily but I was wrong so I will put a hint in the main comments area for the game.

Yet another installment of this series, and definitely the best one yet. I see you have adopted just about every idea I had suggested in the last few games, and they all worked out just as I had hoped they would. The game was much more enjoyable with the difficulty levels, and the game worked well. Very nice job.

^^Needs Improving^^
I'm afraid this series has little to improve upon in my mind. For what the game is supposed to do, I can't think of anything specific.

^^Good Points^^
Neat graphics. The background looked like a scanned image or something, which made for a pretty cool effect. The animations were cool, graphics were definitely above average in this game.

^^Needs Improving^^
I really tried to understand how to play this one, but it was really confusing to me. I read the directions, but still I'm not sure exactly how to play this game. Shooting in the right direction seems to be a little strange to me, overall a strange game. Could also use a few more sound effects.

Bezman responds:

Thanks a lot!

I'm generally apprehensive about my art, so it's good to hear folk liked it.

You don't fire when you click - you fire on the next beat of the music. Next time there'll be commentary and hopefully better instructions to explain things.

Thanks for the input!

This game was pretty cool. You really had to think in order to play it, it was pretty challenging to me. The interface of the game was easy to understand and play with. Cool music and sound effects, and good scoring system as well. A well made game.

^^Needs Improving^^
Actually little I can think of to improve on this, sorry.

Funkay. Thanks for the review :)

[Paddle Ball]

K

^^Good Points^^
Graphics are pretty decent. Looks like an actual paddle ball! Yay!

^^Needs Improving^^
Really a poorly made game. Controlling the ball really made no sense to me. It seemed pretty much random when the ball would feel like hitting my paddle. There were no sound effects and no graphics to make things a little more interesting for the eyes. overall very boring.

bezz responds:

Ahh sound. I'll throw that into the next version.

[White Noise Generator]

K

^^Good Points^^
The layout was nice. Pretty neat graphics and I like how it was kind of like a radio dial to choose the noise.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really see the purpose of this submission. It's basically just a few fancy buttons with some generic noises attached. I really don't see a practical application for this game, nor is it very entertaining.

superturbo responds:

Thanks for the review. Yeah, some people get this one and some people don't. That's fine with me. Mostly I'm learning how to use Actionscript and this was a good way to learn the basics.

^^Good Points^^
A superb word search game. I just played on yesterday, and this one was much better made. The interface was really simple and the graphics were very clean. Easy to play and the unlocking system was a great thing to have. Very nice effort and planning on this game.

^^Needs Improving^^
Really not too much to say here. The game was very well done for a search game.

BoMToons responds:

Thanks for playing and leaving a good review.
