[Defend Level 60]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Quite good! I always find these NG stat related games to be quite fun. Someone needs to make one about reviews! I have to say that I thought the game got pretty challenging as it went on, and the music made the game seem quite intense. Good job on this one.

The edges of some of the icons looked a bit weird. A white one drawn in Flash would have been better. Other than that, maybe think about adding a highscore list, but make sure you add an anti-cheating measure if you do!

Objection responds:

The edges of the icons will always look weird, no matter how I do them. Tried and tested.
Also, I have a hi-score list (armorbot) and it has cheater warnings.

[Mission: Strawberry]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Not many games on Clock Day, so it's nice to see one here and there. It had a good concept to it, seeing how SBC always has to avoid the bad ratings.

^^Needs Improving^^
Filesize was really large, probably due to the audio. Other than that, I felt there should have been more of a game mode to this, rather than just an endless mode. Maybe you could have counted 200 and taken the average to see if the movie "passes" judgment or not.

[Halloween Squid]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
This was a very solid game. The game play was pretty challenging, but still fun to play for a while. The graphics were excellent, and was definitely themed well for Halloween. Definitely a good Halloween game.

^^Needs Improving^^
The main problem I have with this is the fact that your game "Jellyfish" is pretty much the same thing as this. In fact, I'm pretty sure it is the same exact game just with some Halloween themed graphics.

Vengeance responds:

Well, it is a sequel, so it has similar gameplay. This one has everything that was criticised in the first one. A larger area with scrolling, a jellyfish that doesn't shoot straight to the corner. Not only that, but I made a lot of changes to the physics of the jellyfish to make it lag a lot less as well as fix a few glitches with it. These aren't overly noticable because wel, they were fixing glitches and making it lag less.

[Red, White, & Blue]

^^Good Points^^
A good collection of games here that were all themed nicely. I got a kick out of the old Missile Command rendition. That hasn't been seen much here on NG. Definitely my favorite of the bunch.

^^Needs Improving^^
The graphics weren't that great. The theming was good, but a little bit too plain if I do say.

[AirHockey]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A very well made air hockey style game. The AI I was pretty good, though not too close to human intelligence. I thought the many different options were useful in making the game more fun for anyone playing.

^^Needs Improving^^
Can't really say anything bad about this game. It's challenging, has good physics and overall no problems I can see.

[Shoot George Bush]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
The graphics weren't too bad compared to some other stuff contributed to NG at the time. I liked the begging "No, no" that you played too, that fit well.

^^Needs Improving^^
The game hardly even works. When you click on the head, nothing happens. You need to click on the torso, which then does a blow to the head. Doesn't make much sense to me. Very short game and not very challenging.

[Hoppity hop]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A pretty basic maze game. Some obstacles and unlocked objects. Game was simple enough and had a good load time.

^^Needs Improving^^
The most annoying thing about this game was having to start all over when you die in a level. It's very annoying, especially considering I got some cheap deaths, like from below the fire on the third level. Needs something to make it out of the ordinary.

[End of Nightmares]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
This game was somewhat entertaining to me. The graphics were fun. They were very well detailed and nicely animated, which made game play more fun. This also had decent game play that was easy to get into.

^^Needs Improving^^
One thing that really bothered me was that you pretty much had to be right up against the right side of the screen in order to move forward, which made defending against new bots pretty hard.

[ARGHH ALIENS!]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Graphics were pretty good. The explosions had very realistic detail, and the sound effects went nicely with this. Low filesize made for a quick load time.

^^Needs Improving^^
Game lagged terribly when shooting. Really made game play quite hard. I don't see how this can happen with such a small game. Definitely needs some graphical optimization to fix that.

[Advanced Tutorials]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Definitely an awesome tutorial. It's not a very typical tutorial, seeing how the information in this is not in many tutorials. I thought the custom text was very useful, and the Madness blood was an interesting section, where I learned some cool things. Seems like you know what you are talking about.

^^Needs Improving^^
Honestly, I could do without the cinematic at the beginning of this tutorial. Just get right to it if you ask me.
