[Ether Of Magic Cards]

Not bad!

When I first heard about the rules of this game, I thought it was going to be about "Yu-Gi-Oh". I actually do think that the card game itself is better than the show. Anyway, I love how you seemed to truly work hard to create something original. It was probably more fun than any standard card game would be, as I am not really a fan of those in the first place. I think the designs of the characters and the cards are all pretty creative. I normally do not like this games, but this one had so much going for it.

Thanks for that th dev really made it work with careful balence. with some good animation

[Greek & Wicked]

Very weird

Well, this has seriously got to be one of the weirdest games that I have ever encountered. It is not so much that it is hard to play, it is just that I do not understand how to do anything. I mean, I attack the hydra as best I can, using both attack patterns but my score is still 0. I guess it is still a pretty unique game, as with the graphics and everything. While the gameplay may be incomprehensible, I have to give you credit for creativity. It would have been a little nicer if there was a song playing.

SwingSwing responds:

If a little hydra doesn't disappear, so you haven't killed it (that's why you gain no points).
You should try to stunt it and then find a solution to crush its head :)

[Wayfinder: Episode One]

Pretty good

As I am not a fan of point-and-click adventures, this did not appeal to me. What did appeal to me, however, was how well the animation and character designs were. It was great to have so many unique voices work on this, as there was obviously effort put into this. I keep thinking every game where I talk to women is going to be a hentai game. Anyway, the music is alright and the overall setting is pretty interesting. It of course always helps that you guys were nice enough to tell where the walkthrough was.

haha, no problem, thanks for the feedback! ^^

[South Park Wazzup Shooter]

Best "South Park" thing we have

As a big fan of "South Park" it is always interesting to see popular things about it on the Internet. I really liked how this game just had so many little things going on. I bet that if the Daily Feature was in existance back then, it would have won it. I was never really a fan of the "Wazzup" meme, but this is probably the best use of it. I love how angry Cartman and everyone else sounds when they die. It is kind of strange to play seeing as how the show does not really kill Kenny anymore, so it is appropriate to avoid him now.

[Jewel search]

Pretty good game

I have seen a lot of games like this, but I liked this more than some others because it was more creative. It is also a game that is fairly easy to understand and you can beat easily. The designs for all of the different jewels is very cool and original. It is the best example of how this game has good graphics, even if there are not many graphics besides those jewels. The music was pretty good, even if it did get a little irritating after awhile. This was a harmless game that had enough interesting things in it to like.

[Maus Trap]

Better than you would think

Terry Paton, you always know how to make good stuff especially when it comes to underrated stuff. I liked playing this game a lot, because it was just so simple. It still saves everything I have played after all this time, and I can go wherever I want even if I have not beaten the level! I actually got a really high ranking on this (#3 for the day) although that could be more to the fact that few people seem to play it. It is interesting to see how coordinated you can get with this game. The #2 was 11,000 and the #1 was 102,000!

[Galaxy Gems]

Gotta love those gems

I have played many a game similar to this, but this was still quite fun to play, simply because these kinds of games are good. I again can not believe that my data has been saved when I first played this game back in 2009! My biggest complaint is that you have to click between the gems to progress further in the game. It actually does require more strategy the more you play it. I guess it is kind of unique for a game of its kind. I can just get frustrated and click anywhere on the blocks to try to get ahead.

[Vector Defender.]

Give this a chance!

I think this is one of the better games that you have made, because it tries to be different than what you usually do. I was interested simply when you show all those crazy vector planets. I like how you can get more points by hitting more things with one ball. The designs are interesting and especially the diversity of the enemies. It seems like a good example of what you can do when you try something different. Even the little effects with the blastings and the guys falling down is cool.

[Treasure Caves 2]

Cute

I really liked playing this game as that energetic little Kirby thing. Even when I come back to play it after all this time, it still has all of my data saved! I liked the graphics that were used in this, particularly the unique design of all the gems and things you collected. I can not believe that you literally made dozens of levels on just one game! It has a lot of interesting gameplay, which is inevitable as the games goes on. I also think the music is pretty neat and gives off a feel of wonder and adventure.

[Xmas Cannon]

Yep, late

I have seen all of your games on your website before they were submitted here, so I had played this before. This was a pretty good addition to your many series, as it was pleasant. Granted, it would have been nicer if you could specify which houses you already went to. I was surprised at how tough this turned out to be. I liked the 3D representation of the cannon, but I think that made it harder than most games like this would be. The graphics used in this are really cute and homey looking.
