"Pretty boring"

submission: Mini-Game-O-Rama

date: August 10, 2004

Since there are 3 different games, there are 3 different reviews.

BALOON POP : 1/10
Musn't have taken that much time to make. No replay value. Average graphics.

TANK GAME : 4/10
Good concept, but lacks variety. Make it that bigger tanks or helicopters or soldiers come to attack you as the game advances. Should have put an animation of the tank exploding when you lose, instead of going directly to the YOU LOSE screen.

MARIO ARCADE : 7/10
Good job here. Really long and addictive. The presence of coins to collect adds replay value.
Hopefully next time you can add lives so that when you die you can restart at the screen intsead of having to redo the ENTIRE game. Mushrooms would be good so that when you're hit by an obstacle you dont die immediatly. And adding a death animation when mario dies would be a plus.

Next time, give the artists more time to create a minigame. Hopefully the next Minigame-O-Rama will be better

Score :
(1 + 4 + 7) / 3 = 4

"Too simple and nothing original"

submission: Spaceship Shooter

date: June 5, 2004

I've seen this type of game 1000 times before so it isn't anything very fresh.
The graphics wern't that great (sprites and flash made graphics don't mix that well) and the gameplay was too basic.
Plus, getting hit by an enemy moves you immediatly to the GAME OVER screen. You should have put an animation of the ship exploding when you die.
Adding a sheild or health bar or maybe a boss or levels of difficuly would have added value to the game.
The only thing I did like was the overwhelming amount of enemies in the screen and the amazingly fast speed of your ship. Feels like you're on caffeine or something (and that's a good thing).
So next time, add more depth into the gameplay. But taking into consideration this was your first flash, I would say it's a good start.

Score: 7

"Nice game"

submission: Area51

date: June 5, 2004

Nothing really ground breaking, but fun.
Some things were pretty well thought up, such as the first part where you have to press the space bar when the alien came up. Unfortunatly other parts were just annoying, like guessing the switches.
Also having to restart from the beggining of the scene with no way of skipping it when you die was time wasting.
Finnaly I hope the next chapter will be more "game" than its is "movie".
Can't wait until the sequel!

Score: 8

"Getting better and better!"

submission: Trapped 3

date: June 4, 2004

Its great that Trapped is getting more and more puzzle oriented! Most of the puzzles were very original (especially the one that was sorta like Battleship and the last one before the end of the game).
It was also a good idea not to have to restart from the biggening every time you die.
My only complaint would be that the puzzle where the store is open only on a certain date is annoying and just wastes my time.

Score: 7

"Better than the first"

submission: Trapped 2

date: June 4, 2004

Level design is alot better that the first one. Trapped is starting more and more to feel like Chip's Challenge.
Graphics are pretty boring, but i suppose that's just your style.

Score: 6

"Good game"

submission: Trapped

date: June 4, 2004

The level design isn't very impressive : get key, open door, get key, open door....
The graphics were rather simple.
But it was fun.

Score: 7

"So sad"

submission: Xiao Xiao type

date: May 27, 2004

It would have been soooooo much better if it wasn't a stick movie.
Good effects though.

Score: 8

"Great music video"

submission: Because

date: May 26, 2004

The graphics were great.
The song was beautiful.
But damn, the ending was stupid.

Score: 10

"Great Adventure game!"

submission: Swedish Saveloy

date: May 25, 2004

Truly reminds me of those old LucasArts games i loved. The World's Largest Scud missle part seriously reminds me of "The Worlds largest Ball of Twine" in Sam & Max hit the road though.

Score: 4

"Worst of your movies"

submission: FF7: About Random Battles

date: May 20, 2004

All you have a narrator that states whats unrealistic about the game elements in an RPG and who has a fetish for the girls in FF7.
I didn't laugh once.
Good animation though.
