[Windows HIV]

k

^^Good Points^^
This is actually one of the better windows parodies I've seen. It was very humorous with all of the contradictions and such, like "This is your fault" when you get an error. Also, the best part had to be the minesweeper game.

^^Needs Improving^^
Graphics were a little choppy in some spots.

It gave me a little bit of a surprise watching it for the first time. I was wondering what this had to do with Backsteet boys.

This doesn't offer much. Looking at it a second time, it's very poorly photoshopped. You could have at least changed the skin tones to match a bit better. Also, this was just one set, I was expecting this to be a few more images.

[A Random Generator]

K

^^Good Points^^
The sentences part was pretty funny. I didn't think I would be amused by random sentences, but I found each one to be pretty funny. The best had to be "The magnet growled at the chair".

^^Needs Improving^^
The word generator was pretty lame I didn't see much of a point in this. The sentence generator really made up for it though.

[Lights Out 3D]

^^Good Points^^
Really not my type of game, but its still pretty well made. It works quickly and simply. Adding a move counter was a good idea for people who want to compete with themselves or others.

^^Needs Improving^^
Just nothing much graphically in here. Perhaps some larger grids would be fun to add for some people.

Flame-Reaper responds:

Thanks for the comment. The move counter does serve another purpose. You actualy loose 5 points per move. so it helps to finished quickly.

Graphics wise i was kinda of limited i chose to keep it rather minimalistic as i felt it looked best with this kinda of game.

As for larger grids. the engine will suport grids of any size, i just found that the 3x3x3 was tricky enough. going any bigger makes it incredibly difficult.

[Word Destroyer]

^^Good Points^^
The music was definitely thinking music. The graphics are very nicely done and really add a lot to the game.

^^Needs Improving^^
This game was really hard to learn how to play. I found the instructions were kind of murky and it took a bit of experimenting to really figure out what I was doing. After that, the game play just seems more tedious than anything else.

[Go! Spin]

K

^^Good Points^^
A quite impressive game. The far east theme is really cool. I thought the many different cats throughout were rather humorous, and the ice cream cone character was neat as well. The game play was very challenging, and the crazy music was cool too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Needs more instruction. I didn't see any instruction and had no idea what to do at first when different colors were introduced.

[Castlevania Priest Battle]

K

^^Good Points^^
A very odd twist on Castlevania. I think it was rather funny how you presented this. The appearance of Jesus was unexpected, and fighting him was even more of a treat. I liked the music and sound effects, they were well placed.

^^Needs Improving^^
I thought the text went way too slow, and the scenes should have been controlled by the player more to speed things along.

[Knights of Rock]

K

^^Good Points^^
A very neat game that is also very unique in the way it is played. The animations were pretty cool, and the graphics were very detailed. Overall a great job on this game, I thought it was quite enjoyable. The banners at the end were pretty cool as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
Sometimes during this it didn't seem quite synced to the music, but that may have been just me.

A very vintage looking game. The graphics looked nice in their simple and pixilated fashion. The music did the same thing to help that nostalgic mood. The game had very simple controls that are familiar to most PC gamers, which made getting into the game easy.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't know really what everything meant. I believe that the left bar was your health, but the right bar was a mystery to me. Needs a bit more instruction.

[Zombieland]

A very impressive show of your programming and Flash skills. The game was very smooth in running and the animations and backgrounds were excellent. I really love the many cool weapons and the quick pace of the game.

^^Needs Improving^^
The sound effects, mainly the screaming got a little annoying after a while.
