"Isn't this just Ellipsis, but, like, not as good?"

submission: Sixty

date: August 9, 2008

I honestly struggle to see the point in this game - it's unoriginal, the graphics are all blocky, and the background, while it may be pretty, distracts from the game. I know you were experimenting with bitmapData which is all fine and good, but it seems that you could have done something more impressive than just simplifying Ellipsis. On the positive side, I can see the attraction of playing for just a small amount of time and then trying to beat your score. Easy to pick up, but difficult to master kind-of-thing.
Out of your 40+ games this is probably the first one I didn't like much... sorry to have to lower your review average!

"Nice game."

submission: Death Row

date: March 16, 2008

It's a fun, original idea let down by a few major glitches - after a few days, whatever I said to him, he would say "undefined" back, and the prison shop was empty. But the graphics are great and there's lots to do. 3/5. Would be 5/5 if it wasn't for the glitches.

Score: 5

"Short and simple"

submission: Who Shall Win

date: January 13, 2008

This was very smoothly animated, however it was too simple and short for my liking.

Score: 6

"Delightfully Surreal"

submission: Catnip Mission

date: January 13, 2008

I like cats. I've yet to see a bad game which features cats. While the gameplay concept wasn't original, I liked the quirky idea of shooting toys off of a sleeping cat with a watergun. I didn't like the traced images - the original photo's would have looked better in my opinion. I also found the frame rate to be a bit low, to the point where my brief clicks weren't registering. The difficulty curve seems to be well-balanced, and I liked how the game didn't start over when you failed a level. The addition of a highscore board would have increased the replayability for me.

Interesting sidenote - this game only uses the mouse so I can play it on my Wii :) Could be s light problem with the targets being so small though.

Overall, good job let down by bad graphics and slow framerate. Nothing that an hour or two of extra work couldn't fix :)

Score: 9

"Nice one :D"

submission: Time Assault

date: November 23, 2007

I was wondering when you'd get this out, and playing it again brought a smile to my face, even though it's 1am and my feet are sore and I have a headache. The controls are very simple and intuitive, but highly effective. The graphics were also fairly simple yet effective, which is probably good considering how much it lags when there are 200+ ninjas on screen. I love the dynamic background and the screams of the ninjas. It is very well programmed - I didn't find any glitches. My only complaint is that there are no highscore boards, so I can't tell if I'm good or bad.
Great game :)

P.s. Is this supposed to be an "evaluation version"?

Score: 7

"A worthy competitor"

submission: Bushy's Cleanup Crusade

date: August 5, 2007

As stubborn as I am, I have to say this is definately a worthy competitor to the game I'm working on for the contest. The gameplay was varied and interesting, if not a little slow, and the enemy-capturing animation made me laugh. It'll challenge kids to think. :) Good work.

Score: 9

"OMG COPPYWRITE INFRIGEMETS!!"

submission: Luis and the Cloud Sigs

date: August 1, 2007

You used my cloud sig without my permission, I sue you for 7 internets. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 internets.

Seriously though, really fun animation :) I like the easter egg, and good use of the comic-cam luis image.

Score: 5

"Half decent"

submission: Hairlarious Adventure

date: July 18, 2007

I liked the lyrics and how it had so many different words the rhymed, however, the audio quality was kind of bad. The animations/illustrations were OK, but could be improved.

Score: 8

"Loved it"

submission: Luis' Mexican Adventures!

date: July 12, 2007

Had me laughing all the way through :) Pity that Luis seems ot be in denial of his mexican heritage :( Fifened.

"Creepy but sustaining"

submission: Squirrel, a Symphony

date: June 26, 2007

That video left me slightly creeped, it seemed very dark and sinister. That normally wouldn't be a good thing for me, but it worked well in this. The images seemed a bit blurry and low-res at times, but I suppose it's better than having a huge filesize. I liked this 'silent movie' style, although the music got a little annoying; more appropriate orchestra style music could have done the job better in my opinion. The plot and characters were imaginative and the ending made me chuckle. Overall a nice movie, but a little short and maybe too creepy seeming.
