[Balls: Too Many]

Original take on a mediocure game mechanic

Not a big fan of this type of game. Get the object, an obstacle appears bouncing horizontally or vertically; wash, rinse, repeat until the player dies.

But I do applaud your original take on what I felt is a rather tiresome arcade game. Just the fact the balls bounce around dynamically at varying angles and speeds, made it more fun and challenging. Knowing it's tougher than the original play mechanics, adding in a health meter really helped balance out what would've been a overly hard game.

Again, despite not liking the original play mechanics of this kind of game, I do applaud your efforts on giving it an original spin.

Wow,
I really appreciate this.
Thank you.

[6 Differences]

One of the best "Difference" game ever

Just the fact the these are animated made it stand out from the rest. Also, marking the differences by "correcting" the mistake is pretty original rather than just circling it. While I like "ATI: Spot The Difference" for its bubble-headed cuteness, excellent art, and story; I love this one for its casual flair, animated look, music, and ambiance. Excellent game to play at night before heading off to sleep. Sweet dreams here.

Ivorydrive responds:

Thanks for all the kind words, that means a lot to me as I'm a big fan of sweet dreaming.

[You Have To Burn The Rope]

A great satire on gaming

A very unique satire on videogames with blatant instructions [instead of having people figuring out what to do], easy boss battle [as oppose to those that make you want to break your controller in half], and an awesome song. If anything, the song made this game worth it.

[Cyber Kart 3D]

Not Bad

The game is not all that bad, the engine's good, but it needs some work.

-The physics are VERY wonky. For example, when I veer left, the car still continues "right" for quite some time, causing me to crash frequently. Increase the deceleration rate.

-The camera angle is too low for my taste. With the barriers the same, it'll be best to bring the camera up more, so you'll get a much better view of the area and where you should start turning.

[Brick Hole]

Excellent concept, mediocure execution

I do like the concept of a cylinder tetris, but there are some quirks that has to be resolved if you plan on a sequel.

-The controls are slow. Slow as in they are not that responsive. At least in my style, I constantly tap the buttons to move, and in this case they only work about half the time. Like scqjayce said, puzzle games, especially Tetris rely on fast and responsive controls. Gameplay-wise, this is the biggest grudge I have against the game.

-The depth of field is pretty poor, as in the radius of the each circle inside of it is the same distance from their respective outer. Commonly known fact that an object appears to shrinks slower as it gets farther away (that's the best I can word it). Read up on how perspectives are drawn, especially highway tunnels. Look at some pictures of them, all the lights are technically the same distance apart, but from YOUR view, how far apart do they look like? This is a big problem to me in terms of I'm an artist and it also made it tough for me to line up the blocks, which leads into some suggestions.

Suggestions
-Improve the depth of field, it'll look better.
-Alternate the line colors, it will make it a lot easier to line up the block to where you want it.
-Improve on the controls to have it respond quicker.
-Also add some music in the background. Even the generic Tetris theme would work since it's easy to listen to while playing, and not too distracting.

[Indiana Jones:Ipod Quest]

Still needs more work

I can see where this is going, but I can't see it at the same time. Definitely needs a lot more work, then resubmit it.

here's the things to work on:
-The humor
-More choices to go to
-Just doesn't feel "Indy" enough
-The length is too short

[ETE: Techno Tetris.]

It was alright

Pretty much alright controls and the cutey girl saved this submission.

Even though the girl provided some eye candy, the game is just too plain. I suggest playing Sonic Blox for some inspiration for enhancing the gameplay.

Decent game, hope you can improve on it.

EmeraldTokyo responds:

Well, I plan on fixing her so she's interactive with the game, and reacts to your moves, which will be a lot better then it is now. The codes at this moment just elude me. Thanks for the score and truthful review.

[MMPolarity Reconstruction]

The best Megaman game on NG ever

I'm serious too, you've got the controls down, and the Polarity switch works like a charm. Stage layout is great, and the Quickman stage energy beams is thankfully not a chore.

I would have like to have seen this turned into a top down shooter like Shikigami no Shiro or the old Capcom game Gunsmoke. Actually, take that as a recommendation for a possible sequel. Although that meant creating custom sprites.

Frankenroc responds:

I like your suggestion, thanks!

[Great Teacher Onizuka SE]

Too much the same

I've played the original one and now this one. It almost the same. The only changes you've made are that you can heal youself now in this version in battle, and the vice principle attacks are random now.

People say that it was too easy, but not to me, plays the same.

Oh yeah, i was the one who mentioned to you about Gokusen. The first DVD is already out.

And I'll qoute from my old review:
"Nice to see a different type of anime sim besides a dating. This is going on my favorites just for that reason."

The score is the same except for INTERACTIVITY, which is before a 7 and now an 8.

DAIRYDOG responds:

I'm afraid you are incorrect sir. Not only did I let you heal yourself now in battle and add more vice principle attacks, I added more encounters with Fuyutsuki, more character quests, and a new area, the arcade. Anyways, thanks for the review.

[Bitch-Slap Bush v2]

Plays too much like its older brother

I liked Spank the Monkey, and this bitch-slap Bush is just as good. But it is too much of the same.

And the song America, F**K YEAH!, sounds perfect for this game!
