[There can be only one]

K

^^Good Points^^
Some parts of this were decent. The game worked and functioned well. I liked the sound effects you used, especially the various grunts and stuff. The graphics were kind of funny as well. The music was cool too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Not a very fun game. The interactivity does not go very far to make this any better either. You just click on stuff and have no control other than that over what happens in the game.

[Kill Bob 1]

^^Good Points^^
Pretty good layout you've got in this. I liked the menu with a preview of each death. The interactivity was good because the guy was always saying stuff. Pretty good sound effects as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
The one with the bell seemed to be animated way too slow. Overall you just need to work on the graphics more. More realistic animations and better coloring will do you a world of good.

[Resident Evil (REAL LIFE]

K

^^Good Points^^
The storyline was laughable, mainly because of how lame it was, but it was still kind of funny.

^^Needs Improving^^
A good attempt, but it falls far short of a good game. The graphics were really bad. The drawings were mostly just gradient filled rectangles, and the sprites were not very well cut or animated. The storyline isn't too original, which made it boring. Overall just a very average game.

[No Speed Limit]

^^Good Points^^
The sound effects were the best part about this, sadly. The explosion noises were well placed, and the brake noise was clever.

^^Needs Improving^^
First, if you make a game, first you should include instructions. I had no idea I was supposed to pick up the little squares when I first started. Playing the game is incredibly easy, even at full speed. I missed almost no gas cans and had absolutely no trouble keeping my life meter at 100. The game doesn't get harder, so it gets boring really quickly. There is also no end to the game, even after you hit 0 gas. You can also go off of the road and screen without consequence.

Nothing was really that great. The explosions looked pretty neat, and the sound effects weren't bad too.

This is riddled with problems that most simple 2d shooters like this have. For one, you can rapidfire without consequence, even when you die you can auto-fire by holding down the control button. The scoreboard also doesn't seem to work, I don't really see the purpose of it either, since it doesn't seem to keep a global score.

The original reason that I decided to protect this was because of Ageha, one of the greatest BEMANI derived games every to be made :) The game itself is well made of course, which contributed to the five. Everything was drawn and shaded well and also everything fit and was layered perfectly.

^^Needs Improving^^
Definitely needs some more clothing, and definitely some accessories, since the best part about a dress up game is making things look funny. You may want to think about some different background choices as well.

[1D RGB Flipper Puzzle 1.0]

K

^^Good Points^^
I really like the games you make since they take a lot of thought and mental stress to figure out. Of course since I was lazy when I played I didn't really try to get a low score, but if I were in the mood for a good puzzle I'm sure I would find this game really entertaining. Great music too, got me into a thinking mood!

^^Needs Improving^^
Perhaps on later levels you could add some more bubbles to this for added difficulty, or perhaps more levels in all with random starting colors or something. It would just give the game more replay value.

Thanks again for the reviews!

Glad you liked it generally.

I found that with more circles, it wasn't that much more difficult. In fact, it's easier to see where we need to click if it's the same number of clicks needed. And as the 1D format makes it pretty easy to complete, I thought it best to keep the clicks needed low and instead challenge folk to try and attain that score.

All the levels are algorithmically generated. The colour you're trying to reach is random, as is the locations you need to click on.

For the last level, there's 176400 possible levels, I think.

[Katakana Game v0.25]

K

^^Good Points^^
This was a very cool game. I really liked the music you chose, since it is pretty calming and a unique song. I liked the game itself because you really have to concentrate. As you said, if you look away you often forget what you were just looking at and have to take a complete guess. Fun game to play because of this. It looks simple, yet is very challenging.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't know, the game does what it is supposed to without error, so maybe just improve background or something.

Thanks again for the reviews!

As with 1D RGB, I'd have been interested to know your score. I'm guessing it didn't hold your attention for long? I don't know though.

LJCoffee is really a great musician. I've been going through his stuff and finding things that fit. Good to know others enjoy it as much as I do.

I'll definitely add various different backgrounds for v1, along with other stuff.

Thanks for the review!

Stay funky,

[Run to the Portal 3!]

^^Good Points^^
A good final update to the series. I really liked the elimination mode, which I suggested in my review for the first episode. You presented elimination mode well, with the line and the constant score updating and what not. nice job on this one sir!

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, you improved the game a lot from the first episode, but the graphics never really changed and the music was the same from episode to episode. This was a little disappointing, as the graphics could use much improving, and different music is just more interesting.
