[RPG Shooter: Starwish]

Flash shooter?

What I found interesting about this was that it really did work out as a shooting game. At first I thought it was going to be an RPG with all the dialogue at the beginning. Of course, that's nothing to complain about as you can simply skip it. What was cool was how there was a unique design for every level. Everything seemed kind of mundane at first, with how it was a dream, but then it got more interesting. The character designs are pretty interesting as well.

It has all the features of a good shooter in terms of gameplay. It's unique because you have little idea what is going to happen next. I am surprised at how well I did getting rid of all the bosses the first time I encountered them. Too bad I could not figure out how to even use most of the powerups. At least the gameplay was pretty straightforward.

So nicely detailed

This is a good game because of how well detailed it is. It's amazing that you were able to come up with such great colors and a good sense of happiness created. The things that weighed it down was that there were not a lot of things going on as it seemed, but still cool to look at. The dog looked a lot like an armadillo. Well, obviously that was the intention with the name of the game and all. These colors are just so amazingly lush.

The music also does a good job of soothing the player. It's just that I would expect this to have more variety instead of just going over the same hills over and over. It's still worth playing and checking out. It's especially cute how the dog sounds when he barks. I have little idea what diamonds would have to do with anything, but it's fairly fun.

Am I the only ones who loves this?

It really reminds me of the game Chinese checkers, which is something I play with my mom all the time. It's really cool to see just how far you can get in this game. It's a great game of experimentation. I am glad it informs you when you have lost and when there are no combinations left, as I would have never figured that out myself. While there isn't much in terms of graphics, it makes up for it in terms of how fun it is. If you like a good puzzle game, be sure to check this out.

Everything just looks so authentic. It doesn't matter if there isn't much design, because you have so much fun trying to figure out how to beat it. Sometimes, you have to just play with it, as you might expect with a game like this. While not a noted game, at least someone like me played it. It even makes a cute sound when you get ahead.

I am happy you liked it! :) Thanks for the review! :)

[Moby Dick:Ahab's Struggle]

Interesting submission

While not the best in the NG Game Jam this time around, it was still good. I guess it doesn't help that this was easily the most difficult of any game I had played so far. What does matter is that it has positive points in terms of the animation as well as the sound. It was pretty satisfying to be able to at least cause some damage to Moby. How wonderful it is people are embracing classic literature in any way they can. You can just keep pressing the attack button to at least get the 10pt medal.

You really know how to create a dark and creepy atmosphere. While it's still pretty cartoony, it's somewhat faithful to the original story. I think I read it, but maybe that was just a movie version I saw. It's good to see how cool those spears look when you throw them everywhere. You should right click and "Play" to go ahead of the opening scene.

Sweet game!

Probably the only reason I love this game so much is because I'm really good at it. The only medal I seem to be having trouble with is the one with the 30X combo. This was just awesome and it was amazing you came up with this. It's a great theme to talk about literary classics. I bet a lot of people don't even know that "Jaws" was based on a movie at all. It was great to look at the most popular stuff out there in terms of literature, as reading isn't that popular enough.

The music was great as well. The protagonist of this game kind of looked like Luis to me for some reason. Whatever the intended design was, it was great to play because you had to keep an open mind out for everyone. I think my favorite transformation would be Harry Potter because he can fly and destroy any obstacle out of the ordinary. I also love how fast paced it is.

[Insectonator: Zombie Mode]

Sweeeeeet

Woah, this is one of the most addictive games I have ever played on the Internet! It is amazing just how long you can play this game and never get bored! There are so many ways to beat every level and so many different levels! The only complaint is that some of the combos are hard to use. At least I was lucky enough to get some medals. It was just amazing how this was simply a game I could not lose and a zombie game at that!

Well, except the levels with the gems. I have no clue how you managed to do so much with only the first submission to this website. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff. The coolest part is probably being able to see the horned monsters on the ground get shot over and over. Who needs World Of Warcraft when you have something like this?!

[Delaware: Cold Waters P1]

A game?

I was confused as to how this was a game at first, but at least it became one later. The thing about this that I did not like was how the graphics were not good. Everything seemed to be drawn with simple lines. There was no shading or anything. The gameplay is also probably too simple, although it was a bit hard to kill the boss at the end. You need to put in more levels and more variety. From the title, I thought this game was going to be about George Washington.

The music is pretty good a bit of a saving grace. I also did not see that you were able to replay or go onto another level. There should be a lot more detail in your works. Please try to brush up on your skills with making games to have your works be more playable. . At least you managed to achieve a following with the high score you have.

[Ragdoll Man Tag]

Fun overall

This was for the most part something that I would recommend. It helps that the premise is just so dang fun and it's wonderful to watch the guy smash around everywhere. The best part was when he got stuck between rocks and blood was everywhere. The only two areas where you lost points were how there were no sound effects and how it was a blank background. It is still fascinating how much you can do with just a few simple shapes on the screen. Ragdolls simply give you unlimited fun.

The music was great and the most fun part was being able to do whatever you wanted. You could simply let your mouse take on a life of its own and fling the guy everywhere. This game seems to go on forever and I am glad it does. It serves no more or less point than any other game. Thank you for givng us a great time waster.

[Meet'N'Fuck: SniperMaiden]

How polarizing

Well, you guys set a new record for biggest difference between current score and average score. In situations like these, it is most suitable for me to go right smack in the middle. The thing that could have made this less annoying is if you didn't have the music be a loop at the end. Unless it's a great song, that's never a good idea. Of course, seeing as how the end told me to F myself, I doubt you were concerned with that. I can actually tell you guys all worked on this.

The sniper maiden shown on the loading screen is really well drawn! It makes you wish she was actually there. Of course, when something is put in the "Spam" genre, most people should realize what they are getting. The middle part actually wasn't too bad. For being doodles, the drawings were just fine.

[Riddle Transfer]

What a long game

You know people put effort into their game when the opening cutscene is as long as some popular flashes. It was interesting to see how well a style this had even though the character designs were pretty basic. It was also great to have such a wide variety of music to listen to. That being said, I was not able to get anywhere far in this game at all. The only thing I did was look into the toilet lid and recieve the toilet flusher. I guess it's supposed to be combined with something.

I was fascinated at how the main kid characters looked similar in this. The ship they were in also had a great design. The music is great because it doesn't stop even as I am writing this review. While I am not a fan of the series, I appreciate it for how well drawn it is and how it has an interesting story. This should please any fan of the series.
