[Gollum Soundboard]

well ..

I'm not counting points off for violence as there was none to speak of, just .. ahhm .. this was a waste of time, maybe ? :)

David

[Braineaters from mars]

exceptionally well done

You pplz need to play this game through to the end. It is very well written, dialogued, and designed. It's reminiscent of arcade games with cut-scenes, bosses, bonus-rounds, grand finale, and a chainsaw to hack into people if you're into that sort of thing. :)

VERY NICELY DONE.
Easily a 10.

David

[Spoilt Brat!]

well ..

I like the fact that it's a mini pick-your-own-path type of RPG. There was some good (albeit difficult) animation of him taking the book down from the shelf. Where was this kid trying to go ?
:)

David

[DTD survival v1.1]

nicely done

Hard to keep that bastard alive isn't it ?
Made it to 3 days.
Neat game, but .. ?? What does he do for fun ?

David

[Rock'em Sock'em Snowbots]

nicely done

Does what it promises. Might look better if the loser's head went into orbit. Maybe.

:)

David

[Strawberry X-MAS (game)]

good

I especially like it that SC has hover-mode on that sleigh of his, makes it easier to line up the presents.

I wrote one compiled in QBasic years ago with the 12 reindeer, 3 different houses (had to land a tree in that chimney as well) and both stars and satellites to avoid in the sky. Drop a snowflake on Frosty for bonus Santa. Phew ! I went crazy doodling it back then.

Nice job on yours, but needs a bit of variety. :)

David

[The Prize Grab Machine!]

nicely done

I'd be interested to see you do this with all vector graphics though (lose the kibitzer).
GREAT JOB on the prize that just WON'T make it to the drop-chute. Ver-rr-ry frustrating. :D

David

[Garbage (version 3.1)]

neat job

What is especially challenging and interesting in this game is that the targets descend both in a random acceleration and random direction. This makes it difficult and fun to determine which one will land first and it is that one you had better catch first.

Would like to see this game expanded with:

"EO Folder" to remove a missed "Crap SWF"
And added "JUNK SWF" which MUST be missed or it counts as a penalty.

There are many possibilites.

Thanks !

David

[Castonia RPG]

well done

I don't think people realize just how small this SWF is. For what it does, it is EXCELLENT and I would personally very much enjoy seeing you make a RPG with this start of an engine.

Reminds me of my early work in QBasic. :)

David

[NES Gamesplit (demo)]

well ..

I think it looks great when someone uses NES or SNES sprites to make a parody, well, this isn't, and it's pretty painfully obvious that these are sprites from older games.

You are a good programmer, that is seen in the gameplay, make all the images vector-graphics, worthy of Flash. :)
