[Mousemaze #2]

a big improvement

^^Good Points^^
After just playing the first version of this game, I am impressed with the amount of improvement this second version has recieved. The level designs are better, the added check points make failing less annoying, and the survival levels are a cool idea. This was much better.

^^Needs Improving^^
Still, the levels are without a lot of graphical spark and are very boring. Add some fancy graphics or something to make this more appealing.

I've started working on a third version :P just because these are easy to make. but i will, as many people suggested: improve graphics, add more sound, background music, background, levels. etc.

[Mousemaze #1]

heh, this is pretty bad!

^^Good Points^^
I suppose that the graphics aren't too terrible. The lines are nice and straight, and I liked how you added in the locks and keys, that was a unique feature.

^^Needs Improving^^
A lot more in this section...there was no music or sound effects, automatically this makes this not so great. The game play doesn't help this games situation either. The level designs were lack luster and lacked variety and good design. This also only had three levels, not very fun. Another nice thing you should add is going back to the level you were on when you fail, that way you don't have to do the greuling task of going through each level.

This I can like.

^^Good Points^^
This game is original. I've never seen a game exactly like this one. I found the graphics to be subtle, you very impressive. For example, I liked how some start, meant to be further away, move down slower than ones meant to look closer, giving a sense of realism in this. The smooth movements of the ship also looks cool and makes the game fun to play. This game is very well made, is challenging, and not to mention, fun to play.

^^Needs Improving^^
There really isn't anything I can think of to improve this, sorry.

iVisual responds:

Thanx. Well there are some things i need to improve but never mind ;)

[Space Invaders: Reborn]

Basically stolen

^^Good Points^^
The graphics were nicely done. The gradients were subtle yet made the game look very nice. The game worked fine as well. As far as I can see there aren't any bugs that hurt game play a lot.

^^Needs Improving^^
I've seen many games just like this one, probably using the same exact script come through the portal. The game works just like them and this isn't very original at all, and I hate when stuff is unoriginal. Next time make a game that doesn't already exist in five hundred other forms.

iVisual responds:

Ok....

[From Dusk Till Dawn SB]

Not bad at all.

^^Good Points^^
I liked the music on the menu. I've never seen the movie, but it seems to go along with the mood of the movie from what I can decipher from the sounds. The movie info, help, and website part of this were a nice addition and really help to spruce this up. The soundboard itself is nicely done as well. The text is nice and big and all of the buttons work well. A lot of the quotes were good ones.

^^Needs Improving^^
This definitely could have done without the teal background. Also some of the sounds have a lot of background noise in them, which I don't find too attractive in a soundboard. There weren't too many sounds either...only seventeen. :S

Overall, this is a nice soundboard, but a little lacking in quantity.

Thanks for your review!

[Marshmallow]

*Yawn*

^^Good Points^^
This game is presented very well. The menu is easy to read and the game is easy to understand. The graphics are very well done. Both the drawings and animations are well done. The music and sound effects were also pretty good.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't really like playing this game at all. The way the Marshmellow moved was really annoying and the game play was paced to slow to be fun. The game didn't really get harder as it went on, and it gets really repetitive since there are no levels/upgrades/etc. This could definitely use some revising.

Overall, a nice looking game, but not so great to play.

Absolute-Requiem responds:

Well thats fair enough not everyone likes the movement and having to time the moves. Fiar points made for the improvements. I am planning on doing a new veriosn at some point with highscores, leveling, possibly upgrades because many people have pointed this out as gd improvments to make. Thanks very much for the comments.

[Ryan's Dream Adventure]

Decent

^^Good Points^^
I liked how this really felt like playing an old video game, maybe one on the SNES. The beginning was cool how it "reset" ever once in a while to simulate that. The music was real retro sounding and the graphics were done well. I liked how this game was presented.

^^Needs Improving^^
I can't really say honestly that I had a whole lot of fun playing this game. I found the controls to be a little sketchy, and the game itself seemed to leave me stuck in a lot of places, where my only option was to jump.

The game is well designed, this just didn't appeal much to me.

Sk8erGirl14 responds:

yeah, this was a pretty good learning experience...

I know it's problems and hopefully they will be avoided in the next games I develope...

thanks for the review...

[Coke Head]

Very bad.

^^Good Points^^
The only thing about this movie that was mildly good was the graphics.

^^Needs Improving^^
When I first hit the next button, I had no idea I was at a menu. The text is really blurry and hard to read. The game itself is bad as well. I don't like the game play, it moves too slowly, and it isn't really fun since it doesn't add much on top of the original Pac-Man game.

Overall, the graphics weren't terrible, but the game play sure is!

[the skullkid]

Cool.

^^Good Points^^
The graphics were done very well. The animations were very realistic and the drawings were realistic as well. The game itself is pretty fun to play and has no bugs that I can find. The game play varies from level to level, so this doesn't get old quickly.

^^Needs Improving^^
The game play was a little slow going and was a little frustrating. I also didn't like the complete lack of upgrades etc.

[Rapid Fire]

Not bad at all

^^Good Points^^
First off, I'd like to say that this game is presented very well. The graphics were pretty well done and the variety throughout the game was pretty cool. The music was good as well. I had fun playing this game and it was pretty challenging.

^^Needs Improving^^
I was a little mad when I lost because of not hitting targets that were physically impossible to hit (off of the screen). This is a major problem that should be fixed. The robot voice didn't really go well with the light hearted mood of this game either.

Good effort, but a few problems to go along with it.
