[Matrix Rampage]

Pretty sweet!

Hey, this is Brian (bloghogger1), the guy who gave you some suggestions on flashkit. Awesome game!

This is a solid game, for the most part. The graphics, animation, and effects were well done, if not almost perfect. The overall presentation was also great.

PROS: Like I said before, nice visuals. The destructible environment was also a cool feature, as well as the ability to use anything as a weapon. I liked how the AI improved over time.

CONS: The combat seemed a bit...stiff sometimes. Also, the keys didn't respond as quickly as I'd like them to, but that's not a big issue. While this game does have some replay value, it doesn't have a lot.

This seems to be well scripted, and it's just a fun game to play.

p.s. It's amazing that this is your first flash game! Great work!

[World Domination Battle]

Fun

Loved it. Can't say much for the actual combat, but the rest was perfect.

The menus were well done, the art was hilarious, and the sounds were awesome (good sound quality).

Best of all, I loved the chacters and their different animations and personalities. Hitler and Bush were the best, in my opinion.

However, the combat was pretty watered down. If you had added 1 or 2 more combat moves, this would have been dramatically better.

As it is, the combat is somewhat weak, but the game's overall personality makes up for it's shortcomings.

5/5

[Draw-Play 2]

Good, but still needs improvements

When I reviewed the 1st Draw-Play, I stated that I thought it was very innovative and addicting.
Unfortunately, after playing the first one for endless hours, this one seems pretty...well, to be honest, uninteresting.
Other than more levels and traps, it's exactly the same.

I suggest spending more time creating different game modes and elements, and possibly a screen that scrolls to the right and forces you to quickly draw the line to escape the screen.

[QWERTY Warriors]

Addicting

It's pretty addicting, I think. I've played games like this before, and this game actually does it right.

Here's my stats:
Final Score: 58410

Words Correct: 340

Awesome game.

[Tri-achnid]

Innovative...but kind of pointless..

Okay, I can't say much for the interface, but I can say the overall presentation of the game was practically excellent.

The sound effects were incredible, and the music really set the mood. Needless to say, the art was polished, and it looked very professional.

However, I will that, although the game brought something new to the table as far as game play goes, it just didn't work too well. The physics were a cool touch, but I felt that controlling the actual Tri-anchnid was pretty awkward.

Anyway, great art/sound, cool concept, but it just felt a bit too awkward.

[Red Baron]

Pwned LOL NUTZ!!!

Awesome job! I loved this game!

For starters, it was a down to earth beat'em up. There wasn't any excess polish, or useless effects. It was just plain, solid, and awesome.
That's not to say that the art/animation wasn't great. I loved the character animations, especially the ninja animations on the 3rd level.
The bosses were awesome, and so were the weapons.

My only complaint about the game is that the enemies seemed a bit repetitious, and most of them took too long to kill. Other than that, this game is one of my favorites.

Nutz!

5/5 x 5

P.S - the background art was CRAZY. Some of the best background/foreground art I've seen in a flash game.

[Trouble in Mimbelton 2]

Not much point...

There wasn't much point to this game. I couldn't find any real objectives, and it was a bit slow..

However, I will say that you coded this well (as far as I can tell). The enemies were pretty fun to kill, but you ran out of ammo way too quickly.

Anyway, it has potential, but I think this game needs a lot of impovements. Try to get that story mode done, and your game will have more personality.
As it is, it's kind of on the crappy side, but I still managed to get some entertainment out of it.

Hope to see more of your work in the future -

Brian

Thanks brian, I'll try to make my next game a bit more on the solid side

[Mad Vlad!]

Nice game!

Nice game you've got going on here. I was pretty impressed with it, and had some fun along the way.

Graphics, art, and animation were very well done, and the overall atmosphere of the game was pleasent.

Music was decent enough, I guess, and the sound effects got the job done.

My only complaint is that it ran a bit slowly, even on Low Quality graphics, and I've got a decent computer, so I'm pretty sure it was just the game. Also, the jumping was too slow for my taste, but it wasn't a big deal.

Good game -
4/5

Thanks for the review :)

[Black Sheep Acres]

Great fun!

Loved the intro and the story plot. Sounds like something I'd think up. Liked the part about the "mainliest weapons"!

Smooth graphics and game play, and I liked the weapon chioces, although they seemed a bit limited.

All in all, great game, but became a bit boring after a while. Needs more types of enemies, if you asked me. A bit difficult too, which made it funner than most games of this type..

5/5

[Madness Reaction Time]

Pretty fun..

Personally, I think this should be part of a collection or something. This is actually pretty addicting!

Smooth presentation and nice graphics add to the game play -- I especially like how the camera follows the bullet as it's speeding through the air.

Good work -

4/5
