[Thirst: A Survival Game]

Cool idea.

I like that this game is pretty original, at least for a flash game. It's got a cool style, even though the graphics need some work. Mostly though, i just wish there were more options. Everything gets too repetitive, and it relies too much of luck. And it REALLY needs a save button! How am i supposed to know how long to power up for a boss? I cant know, so when i die after all that, it's really irritating. Anyway... there's some cool stuff, but i think you should fix some things and add some things and have a new version of it.
Oh, and maybe after i pick up the bags a few times it could start just saying "got a bag of food" and showing me the new numbers. Would be a little faster that way.

[Stay Alive v.2]

Fast Attacking!

Too many flash games with fighting have really slow response time for some reason. They need to take a lesson from this, cause the response time is great. I think it deserves a much better rating cause it seems so much has been put into it. But even with the fast response time, this isn't the kind of game that many people would really enjoy playing. Not completely sure what a fighting game would need, but with flash games it seems they just need something new. The flashback is cool, but not enough.
Also, as for style, i dont know what other people think, but i'd like a drawn background more than 3d. And i dont particularly like any of the characters.

"Oh, I dont really like this"

I dont like the graphics, i dont like the style, i dont like the voices, i dont like the writing, and i dont like what i've seen of the "game", but if you think i'm picky, what about that damn character who will only accept that one retarded looking sword? Why make us choose a weapon if it will only accept one? Is that supposed to be a puzzle or something? ... finding the right thing to click does not make this a game. Of course, it started too boring for me to go on after i found the sword, so i'm really just talking about the beginning.

[Alloy: Arena]

Too Slow

I think probably everything in this is just a little bit too slow. Mainly, i think it's the response time with the attacks, and how there's so much time between attacks. It's a good start though.

[Splinter Cell: Late Home]

Not much of a game.

The graphics are great of course, but it's not really a game. For the most part you just push the space bar and follow simple instructions.
It took me a while pushing all the keys in the keyboard to find out which button fires the gun. And i thought i'd tried space bar, but i guess i missed, and then the sound was too quiet, so i didn't realize it fired the first time.

[Plumber 2]

Fun game.

Fun game, but i feel like i've played something very very similar before. The fake overflow pipes are the stupidest fucking thing ever. Was that just an accident or something? Didn't think it was possible to get to them or something? Having overflow pipes that you cant get to is fine... But having one that you can get to, and then it just gives a game over is like just flipping a coin to see if i win or lose. cool game though.

[NG BG: Parastone VS Jimmy]

NGBG??

The parastone game had NOTHING to do with ng bg! not just because it's a game, but it didn't have the other persons character in it at all, and you're kind of supposed to make your own character win.

Is it a crime for me to be dfferent?

[StarCraft FA]

Pretty hard.

I dont remember it being so hard in the demo to click the zerg running by... hmm.. It's a good thing in the terran one that you dont have to kill all the scourges, Cause the ship Doesn't go all the way to the edge of the screen. And with yamato gun hurting you so much, and the other weapon being so slow and pathetic, it makes it pretty damn hard. So anyway, technically it's pretty well done, but it's just not fun enough.

dz2001 responds:

Is it really hard?
when i and my friends played and tested it
the game seemed to be TOO easy
Dont try to kill ALL the targets, just try to avoid the missiles =)

[BotArena v0.2 Beta]

What's the point?

You cant control the robots can you? If not, what's the point? Not like you have much choice in the stuff to buy. Just wait forever until the battle ends to get a tiny bit of money, and hope you win? I mean, is it even a game if you cant play? And you say you dont even plan on having in game activity? Then i just dont see the point to it.

thewasteofwebspace responds:

Not at this stage. Maybe in later releases. there will be an option to edit and choose your robots script, such as shoot and movement priorities. I played the game a while myself and re-playing matches is very irritating... i'll give more money after every match in the new release. anyway, thanks for playing...

[Squirrel Squash 2]

Hmm...

Big file size for such a small game. Terrible choice in music, and there's way too much crap flashing on the screen constantly, so i cant even see what i'm doing half the time, cause it has words and other crap covering the screen. Felt like pop ups while you're trying to look at a webpage. Even without those problems it probably wouldn't be that fun, like how it switches to the next screen and you have such a small time to see whether you need to jump or not.

Wiesi-Mausland responds:

hm ok, i´ve no problem playing this game but perhaps you´re right.. i dont know :)
