[Scorched Earth Flash]

Really cool remake of the old Atari game "Artillery Duel". Fortunately, you made this version a lot more enjoyable than the original. The powerups and gauges made game play more fun, and the strategy involved also makes for a fun game play experience.

^^Needs Improving^^
It would be a lot cooler if one could play against a computer player. Not that the two player version is bad, but I think more people would play this if it were a little more playable on your own.

Well, it definitely has some promise if it is improved a bit. The graphics were really unique...looked like you have some drawing skill and animating skill as well. Graphics were very clean. I liked the briefing and such too, that was a nice touch.

^^Needs Improving^^
There was no sound, which is definitely needed in a game such as this. Also, game play was pretty weird. For some reason, shooting seemed awkward, as half the time I couldn't shoot. Guess i had to reload or something. You should not be able to hold down the CTRL button and shoot constantly.

The graphics weren't too bad. They were all black, like the light was from behind, which is kind of lame, but that's ok.

The game play is just terrible. Moving doesn't even really do anything, except slowly move you. Attacking is very awkward, and I found really no strategy of the game. Basically just randomly attacking.

Ok, let's see. Why would I want to play an online Tic-Tac-Toe game? I guess if I did, it would be because I had no one to play with and wanted a decent challenge. However, I'm pretty much convinced that there really is no second player. The placement of the computer's pieces seems to be completely random, and not strategical at all. Honestly, it's better to simply play alone, which doesn't make much sense. So the one player mode is a wash. You should have at least added a two player mode available, so you don't have to draw the grids at least.

Game functioned well and had a very low filesize. I like how you can choose from different difficulty too.

Could really use some music, and definitely some sound effects. It's kind of awkward how the pattern restarts so quickly after you complete it. It's a bit strange the way that works. I think sound effects for each glowing arrow would be better.

[Drifting Championships]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A pretty cool game. It takes some skill to get the drifting quite right and to go through the course without messing up. The physics were pretty fairly well done and somewhat realistic. At least enough to make the game enjoyable. The league idea looks cool, though I didn't try it out.

A weird thing happened the first time I tried to play. My car was simply stationary. I would press accelerate, and hear the acceleration sound effect, but I wouldn't move. Going to the menu and trying again fixed the problem for some reason.

[office quest (rpg)]

^^Good Points^^
Hehe, I found this quite charming to be honest. At first it was a little hard to get into, but once you get into it, it has a silly storyline with weird characters, and a simple game to play and have fun with. Loved the music too. Reminds me of something from Earthbound, which is probably why I find this charming.

^^Needs Improving^^
As I said, a bit hard to start out with...just needed one hint to get going though. Controls were also a little bit hard to get into.

[Jessica Chobot Invasion]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Really a whole lot better than most Galaga knockoffs. It had a nice charm to it, with its creative graphics and boss battles. I liked the health system...much better than having lives in this sort of game. The boss battles were fun, and overall the game was obviously very carefully made. Nice job.

^^Needs Improving^^
One thing I don't like would be the purple flames these Chobots shoot. They blend in too much with the white circles in the background. Also, felt like I got a few cheap hits on me during the first boss battle :(

[Collision]

^^Good Points^^
Honestly, I was surprised by the amount of fun and challenge I got out of this. It doesn't look very challenging, but its looks were certainly deceiving. A delightful surprise if I do say.

^^Needs Improving^^
If you fixed all of the bugs related to cheating I would say create a highscore list. If not one that everyone is ranked, at least keep the highest score from the player in the session. Would make replay value much higher.

Kind of neat. The clay graphics were definitely unique and interesting. I liked the Penguins and devils in here...they were interesting as well. Great sound effects.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really like how you can just set the power/angle to whatever you want so easily. It really takes the skill out of the game, and basically just leaves your score to randomness of what you hit and miss.
