[N?na, Ha?e F?aith]

Too hard to play

It looks like an interesting remake of Eversion, but I just can't handle the controls. "Jump for key, overshoot...go all the way back around...jump for key, fall off too soon...go all the way back around...jump for key, get it...knocked away by enemy...Jump for key, overshoot..." I really wanted to like this game, too.

Droqen responds:

try shoot enemy first? :)

[Ancient Powers NX8]

Impossible

So I got the fire powers and the key, but there's no other key and nothing else to do. Too bad, I was kinda having fun up until that point.

More interesting puzzle games

Ah, another Magical Drop clone, that's good. It needs a couple of things, though; First, you need a button to press to make more rows come down. As it is now, you spend most of your time waiting for stuff to appear. Secondly, when you have a diamond and you click in a column with a diamond of the same color, you should grab that diamond as well. As it is now, you shoot up the diamond and *then* you can grab them all.

...and, uh, why does the description talk about "Santa completing presents" but the game is all about diamonds in a jungle? Suspicious. :P

[Tentacle Wars]

Needs instructions

It's kind of a neat implementation of a kind of strategy game I've seen before, but it seriously needs some instructions. I shouldn't have to watch a YouTube video to learn how to play.

[Numeric Madness]

Okay puzzle

It's an all right puzzle game. Just a couple of problems that I saw...first, it seemed like the squares didn't always activate when I clicked, I had to click several times. Second, you should learn the differences between it's/its and than/then.

[Doodle Devil]

Okay, if a few flaws

This remake of Alchemy is all right, but there are a couple of problems...First, some of the combinations seem really random. Magic + TV = Stone? Dragon + Hydra = Sex? Seriously, what?

The bigger problem is that most of the game consists of guessing wrong. The player may have all sorts of cool ideas but they don't work because they're not EXACTLY the ones the designer thought of. It's like the player is told "No, you're wrong" over and over and OVER. Eventually they just use the hint button.

[Doomrunner Fx]

Pretty fun!

Nice graphics, not too complicated but nice; nice bullet trails and other effects like that. The control scheme is not my favorite (I like mouse-guided movement or even Robotron controls), but actually I got used to the controls pretty quickly. The gameplay was fun, I liked the screen-wrap effect; it was fun to evade enemies by going off the edge. All in all, not too ambitious but good for what it was.

[5k FISH]

Not bad for 5k

Interesting, but it's a little hard to figure out what to do. It's not obvious which fish you control, especially when you get eaten before you even drop into the water!

i wish i had more to work with but i didn't wana go above 5k

[STREEMERZ]

A NES love letter indeed

For those of us who played Bionic Commando back in the day, this is awesome. I laughed out loud several times. Well, Bionic Commando's translation wasn't THAT bad, but the joke is still funny.

This game is also damn hard. I don't really know if I want to build up the skill to play it...It's pretty neat, though, how the one mechanic allows so many different moves.

In all: Good work, very polished.

[Run, Jesus Run!]

Blasphemously amusing

I'm an atheist too, but for some reason this made me break out laughing. Any game that makes me break out laughing is okay in my book.
