"Pretty good!"

submission: Dino Run

date: June 18, 2008

This is a just fine racing game. Good power ups and stuff. I like the pixelated look. Also, I played on Firefox 3.0 and it ran just fine (haha unless it's not supposed to be pixelated in which case... oh well). I haven't played the multiplayer version but I can see how that would be amusing as well. The reason it's a 9 and not a 10 is it's so damn sad! haha which is dumb, because that is the point. All those dinosaur skeletons everywhere and balls of flame. Such a good job depicting extinction!

"It's good."

submission: Draw My Thing

date: May 20, 2008

It may be a complete copy of InkLink from Shockwave which was a complete copy of Pictionary, but you did a good job doing it in Flash. I do have to say sometimes drawing is awkward. You should reconsider the enormous pencils, especially when they flip upside down when you're drawing near the top of the screen. Good color choice and everything. It's really easy to figure out how to play.

You're always going to have dumb people being immature in the rooms, and I'm glad you've created the concept of the host, who can kick people out for being obscene or unnecessarily rude/annoying. That's a good job there. As for people writing the words on the walls instead of drawing them, sometimes it is really hard to figure out how to draw stuff like "pleasure" or "stir fry."

Overall you did a good job with a game that has of course been done before.

Score: 9

"Almost perfect"

submission: Magic Pen

date: April 13, 2008

Sometimes drawing is impossible. I am using a trackpad and it really did not function that well with this game. It would work until I needed to do some quick drawing right in the heat of the moment and then of course, fail. Also that you can only draw within a limited range of shapes can be frustrating. The YouTube walkthroughs were helpful, so thanks for that! But I got frustrated very often with a simple line I draw not finishing itself and letting a ball drop.

Score: 8

"It is hard and semi-addicting."

submission: The World's Hardest Game

date: March 28, 2008

I agree. You definitely need a music on/off button. But it does seem like the hit area on the blue balls extends just slightly beyond where they are. I noticed this the most on level 6, where I would clearly not be hitting anything but I would still lose. It just makes the game more frustrating which I guess is the point. The farthest I have gotten is level 8 and unfortunately this is not addicting enough for me to want to continue on! I am not sure what it is about it: probably that it's so hard! But I get tired of this quickly. Being able to turn the music off might help. Overall, though, a really great game.

Score: 9

"I really like it"

but oh my god I get frustrated when I can't jump right! It's a good game.

"really creative"

submission: Scribble 2!

date: February 29, 2008

I admit I haven't played the first one (yet) but some of the end results of these made me laugh. It was very frantic and I liked it. Also shiny. There was something kind of adorable about the whole thing...? I guess because it's connect-the-dots. I was a crap drawer though. This is kind of hard to do on a touch pad on a laptop.

Score: 9

"Really good"

submission: SimianLogic's Filler

This is fun and engaging. It is a big dichromatic though. Otherwise a stellar job.

Score: 7

"didn't work"

submission: Jane's Hotel

date: November 19, 2007

I'm playing on Firefox on a Macbook so I think it's probably my laptop that's the problem, but after the first two lady customers on day one left after checking in and getting coffee, nothing happened. I could still move around and stuff, but I just waited for about five minutes and... nothing. I had a score of 53/50 so I guess the day was over, but the advertisement I assume was supposed to appear didn't happen... I'm not sure there is anything you can do about this but just thought I'd let you know. May be a glitchy type thing like other people are talking about.

Score: 9

"Love it."

submission: Hexiom

date: September 2, 2007

Very nice! The music wasn't awful and I liked the sound effects. I only played up to level 14 before I decided to do something else (nothing against the game; I just really shouldn't be wasting my time as such). Anyway really really nice.

Score: 7

"Too easy :("

submission: Chompy's Winter Rescue

date: February 1, 2007

I love the concept of this game, and got through a few levels waiting for it to get really hard. Upon reaching level 6, though, I just got too bored to continue. I started driving the sled recklessly at 70 mph out of sheer boredom-- there need to be more obstacles in the way more quickly. The conveyor belt needs to get much faster. Also, the first time the second conveyor belt appeared, nothing came on it! Anyway, it's fun for a little while but incredibly easy and repetitive. Thus, 7.
