[MS01: Mini Skears]

Not bad

I like the Skears game, but this one was too short. Only three levels and the extra one if you can get it which seems incredibly hard(I couldn't do it). I liked the new scoring system on it though, that was cool and added some replay value to the game. The "What FC" button was also a little weird and hard to find a place to click. Other than that not a bad game.

AcidDimensions responds:

A couple of bits of crit, praise, some personal experience told. Opinion summarised.

All good stuff.

Your criticisms seem to generally be nicely thought out, which is nice.

You do, however, seem to ignore the fact that this is intentionally short.

Also, maybe even more comments would be nice. Any specific feedback on levels, did you like any particular one, etc.

Anyhoo, the review's helpful as it is and I thank you for leaving it.

Aggrivating, but addicting

This game graphically looked much better than the other skear games. I liked the bigger screen size and I think it was a lot more challenging, especially the last level which was incredibly agrivating, but still fun to play. I still can't beat it, but I'd say you created a very good series of games off of this skear thing. Nice job.

AcidDimensions responds:

You get quite specific with your praise, mentioning "the bigger screen size". That's great.

Touching upon your experience is useful also.

However, your review does lack any real criticisms or suggestions.

That's the only real flaw in your review.

Still, it was somewhat useful to read.

Thanks.

[letters (demo)]

Pretty good

I say this game was pretty good...for a game where all you have to do is punch letters. I didn't like your choice of text though because for a few letters I had to think for a second what letter of the alphabet it was. The game was pretty challenging and took a little getting used to, but you added a lot of variables into this game that aren't in many other games like this one. Probably one of the best of this type.

AcidDimensions responds:

review of your review:

A few back-handed compliments, some nice words, a single contructive crit.

I like your small expansion on your crit.

Maybe more crit would be nice though. That's my main request - just more.

Another useful review. Good as it is. Thanks.

[taiping v0.4]

Not that fun

This game looked like rubbish, not to mention it game without instructions so I didn't really know what to do at first. The letters move quite fast and it is good for practicing quick jamming of keys, but really isn't that fun to play. Challenging, but lacks good game play.

AcidDimensions responds:

Though a bit of praise would have been nice (if only, 'well done for at least trying'). Had this been your only review I might have gotten upset. (I wouldn't have. But I might have.) A little bit of praise in each review helps ensure everyone realises your good intentions.

Still, thanks to the way you mention a few specifics, the review doesn't come across as a rant.

Some of the criticism is definitely constructive.

[rol-ovir 2]

Very fun and challenging!

I must admit that though this game has a very simple design and goal, it provides a lot of challenge. I got to the last stage but couldn't get all of them when it said the end. That game was really fun actually and I enjoyed playing it, even though I have no idea what a skear is. Still could use some background music though. Nice job on this.

AcidDimensions responds:

Praise, a piece of contructive criticism, some info about your experience, a summary.

Great review.

More feedback would be nicer, but it's nice as it is.

[rol-ovir]

ok...

I know I wasn't supposed to play this game, but I thought I should anyway just to find out what it was. The text was pretty funny and I liked that, but the game didn't have much substance. Only two levels that weren't very challenging isn't a very good game. There was also very few good graphics and no sound, which again is a bad thing.

AcidDimensions responds:

A far better review than the game deserves. Praise and criticism abound. Maybe there could be more of a summary. A short line at the end.

Nice review though.

[NSG001: 4 Bats, 1 Ball]

Moderately fun

I thought this was a neat twist on pong, it was very original. I know the challenge of the game was to get the ball to move faster, but I would have enjoyed it more had the ball not slowed down so much. This game could have also used some color and sound, it is very bland without these things.

AcidDimensions responds:

Praise, constructive criticism and a quick summary in the title.

Some feedback on your personal experience/progress would have been nice.

I like the way you give the caveat, " I know the challenge of the game was to get the ball to move faster," before making your valid suggestion.

A dense review, in terms of info.

Good work.

[Dodging Circles]

Pretty entertaining.

Though this game was really simple, it was still pretty entertaining and challenging. It started off easy, but once you get to aroudn 500 points it gets a lot harder. It could use some improvment on the graphics and needs some type of sound. This game was really fun and addictive and I liked the highscore page. nice job

AcidDimensions responds:

review of your review:

praise, constructive criticism and a summary of opinion all exist.

You told a little about your opinion of the difficulty. Feedback on your experience of a game is good to hear.

You could get a bit more specific on how the graphics could be improved, maybe give some more feedback on your experience (how far you got etc.) and maybe split the review into paragraphs.

It is a useful review as is and I thank you for it.

[~~ytmnd finale~~]

ok...

There wasn't that much funny stuff in here, and you're completely missing the point of a soundboard. They are used to make prank calls, not to just listen to random clips.

Mechabloby responds:

Yeah I know.
Well the ytmnd soundboards are actually only the ones people e-mailed and reviewed told me what they wanted on it.

[Samurai Jack Soundboard]

Could use a few things

This was not a bad soundboard by any means, but it needs a few things. First off, the text needs to be bigger, I can't even read half of the buttons. There also needs to be a stop sounds button. Other than that you had a very good library of sounds that could be used for some good prank calls.
