[ngtank dressup vol.3]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
This was a pretty rad dressup game, taking advantage of our mascot...well sort of. There were a lot of items, including a bunch to change the color of the tank, and some random ones as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
The main thing that I found wrong with this was the layering of the Tankman. He seems to be on one of the topmost layers, which makes putting items over him, like the grim reaper, devil, etc, pretty impossible, since they appear behind him.

[Click game]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Heh, that little guy with the flaming head up top gave me the most entertainment. It's also a groovy idea to put the score rankings at the end.

^^Needs Improving^^
It's very easy to cheat on this game, using the tab button. You should have surely added some kind of safeguard from that. Other than just being a very dull game, I can't really think of anything else.

[Meteor Mash-Up]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
The game had a decent concept to it. Interesting rules and such. Kind of entertaining for a little bit.

^^Needs Improving^^
I was honestly pretty bored by this. The game is very repetitive, and doesn't seem to get any harder as you play longer, which makes it even more drab. There is also the problem that you can just hide inside the sun and not get hurt, which doesn't make much sense. Not a big fan of the music either. Didn't really seem to fit well to me.

[Lights ON! (open source)]

^^Good Points^^
It offered a minute of entertainment. Nice filesize for the game as well. Can't get much lower than that.

^^Needs Improving^^
Far too easy if you ask me. You only had two levels, the first of which, was pretty obvious on how to beat, the second one only taking me slightly longer to complete. Needs more levels to make it better. Some nicer graphics and backgrounds would make this look nicer too.

[Variables Tutorial]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
It was a decent tutorial. Some decent information was found in here, if you have the knowhow to decipher what you are saying.

^^Needs Improving^^
It didn't really seem like you were too knowledgeable on the subjects covered in this one. For example, when creating a scoring system, you don't explain anything very well at all. I.e., how to change the score increments and how to implement them. You would change the target to a button, but the way you explain it sounds like you are just creating a random button. Needs some work.

The graphics in this game were pretty good. I liked how there was a foreground and a background, definitely makes this appear more interesting. The game was definitely challenging, though mostly because of problems with it. Decent game.

^^Needs Improving^^
I really don't like how you lose health very rapidly when touching an enemy. My though is, you should touch an enemy, lose a certain amount of health, then be invincible for a second, to avoid losing more health. The system you have setup is very primitive.

[5 Differences]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A pretty good game of spotting the differences. It was quite challenging, and on a few stages I found myself stuck and just randomly clicking to find the last difference. The art was really good, and adding some animation made it look a whole lot nicer.

^^Good Points^^
I don't really like how you can just click randomly and find the differences that way without consequence. Also, it's kind of weird how there is no music or anything.

[Uber Breakout II]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A really challenging remake of breakout. I'm happy that this was really nothing like breakout, as the original game already has a ton of cookie cutter remakes on NG. A very neat style of game play, and it was definitely challenging to get a hang of moving the paddles around. I got confused many times and missed the ball.

^^Needs Improving^^
I really can't complain. Even the preloader mini-game was really fun to play!

[Color Ball 2]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Not too bad at all. I thought it was a neat idea how the color changed randomly from time to time. Made the game hard to adjust too. Each color had its own effect, which was also a pretty neat idea to make the game more interesting.

^^Needs Improving^^
I found it kind of boring. I went on playing this for quite a while and really didn't find it challenging at all. Played for about 10 minutes without much error. Needs to be harder.

[Spot the Difference!]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Awesome game you've got here. Really quite original and has a lot of good ideas implemented into it. For example, the fact that the backgrounds move and you have to react quickly is something I haven't seen, and randomizing the objects is a really good idea. I got to level 3 before I struck out until I lost all of my lives. Great selection of music as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
I think sometimes things were a bit too obvious. Like obvious different shapes. They should be more subtle differences throughout.
