[NG Sketchbook Tour 08]

Simple & cool

I liked it. If it was only the pictures I would have said "meh", but the whole combinaison of music / cool GUI and cool drawings made this piece of flash really enjoyable !

[Creating a Hand]

tip

For the "next" button, put an invisible square behind the button so that the whole area is clickable and not only the letters.

Ok tutorial

[The Majesty of Colors]

loved the graphics

it fit well with the game.
But I wasn't a big fan of the whole concept. Good job though

[Achievement Unlocked]

finished !

Damn, that was pointless and awesome !
The Level select code was the weirdest thing

[Meat boy (map pack)]

Awesome game, awesome pack

I loved it ! Just as good as the first one.

To people giving bad ratings because "it's too hard"... well it's not their fault if you suck !

[Climbing Ninja]

front page ?

please, it's not really good.
The "jumping" is kind of slow and weird looking and the overall doesn't look smooth.

I didn't like it

[Destroy All Zombies III]

Too easy

Really nice game, I loved it.
But WAY too easy. I was saving up my amo for when the "real" fighting was going to start and I just ended up with 30 rockets to blow up the last boss...

[Noidzor 2]

Ok I liked it... BUT

There is room for improvements.
First of all I didn't play the first one, so I was a bit like "hum... what is going on here ? A red guy playing pong ? wait... what ?", but no big deal.

The problem is that the begining of a level is way too hard, bullets spawns on your face by billion, and the end is boring, you struggle for 5 minutes trying to bring the last block down.

The RPG features are a great idea, without that I would have stopped playing after 2 levels. The problem is that you don't really see the difference !
I mean, the damages don't look to improve that much, recovery either...

It would have been a nice touch to add a visual effect showing that you actually got better. Also the frustrating thing : the "destruction" action. To be it would be so much better if the ball accelerated with some cool visual effects. Because here it just feels like it bumped on a dead horse.

The bosses were a nice touch as well. Too bad they don't improve as they loose life... if they do I didn't noticed.

The music is terrible. Please give us a way to mute that. Also add better sound effects !

Last thing, concerning the HP/MP management. You should give back full MP at the begining of a level, like, really. Why starting with the previous MP ? Didn't the guy got some time to walk and rest between levels ?
I didn't mind the life management... but I can get that it is frustrating to not be able to recover life. You could give like "everytime you complete a level you get 30 HP" or something.

Other than that, I really liked this game, but I don't think I'll play again.

8/10, 5/5

[Xenon Prime Racing]

Ok...

It was ok. I mean, good display of programming skills, but the gameplay is not really interesting. I'd rather play a fun 2D ugly game than a neat 3D boring game
