[Recoil 1.3]

Good, but hard

This was a pretty enjoyable game to play, even though the gameplay was pretty hard to understand. In the beginning, it seemed like I was just pressing the buttons at random times just to see if I was lucky. You put in some interesting twists into this, like the nitro and the disappearing blocks. I like how the graphics are simplistic, yet it still manages to be pretty original. It is a pretty interesting environment to explore too. The little pitter-patter sound the spring makes is pretty cute too.

Never found the cheat

This is a really interesting game to play, not just because the gameplay is great, but because it is also educational. There is a pretty funny story behind this game for me. I was not allowed to play games on the Internet in class, but I did in fact play this game in my class because I thought it was educational. The teacher apparently got tired of this and would not allow it. Now, looking back, I can probably not even remember anything that I learned from this. At least you came up with great gameplay and a lot of intelligent effort being put into it.

Pretty nice game

The main problem with this game is that you are simply not allowed to advance further onto the screen. There are a lot of things going on, but it is difficult to hit all of them as you can only stay in the same spot. It was pretty nice how you could speed up or slow down the rate of the plane. The designs are pretty cool, especially those big urchin things. I would probably not recommend this, but it does have its good points. The graphics are good and it reminds me of CGI stuff.

Great game!

This kinds of games will simply never get old to me, as there is an infinite number of ways that you can blast these guys! I think this was not as good as "Toss The Turtle" mostly because it was pretty hard. It seemed like I could actually get more ground with the first weapon than the second. Still, the graphics are as good as ever. It is interesting to find out how creative you were with the different things in this. It seemed like there was not a single theme you had going on, but a lot of stuff.

[Talesworth Adventure Ep.1]

Very well done

There I go again, talking about how original the games are getting and boy are they ever! This was another case of having a main character that you could not actually control, but still had to control. I am currently stuck on one of the levels, but I should be able to figure it out. I like how you can activate those doors that block the arrows. The graphics are simple enough, but are a lot of things going on you start to notice. The music is also nice and fits the medevial theme pretty well.

There you go again!

I heard about a sequel to this game being made by you and it was as awesome as I could imagine. I really like how it is a lot longer distance, because you are simply able to get more points that way. I knew there would be tons of medals to get in this, and it's too bad my computer has so poor quality it can not go straight with the controls. The graphics used in this are awesome and I loved all of the different things like geese, horses (?), people, etc. to attack over an over! I love this game and everything it does!

[Explosioneer]

Awesome!

I was extremely impressed at how fun this game managed to be, even though I could not understand it at first! It was great for SpikeVallentine to work on this, even though I could not recognize his artwork. This is a wonderfully original idea and I simply love how you do not even control the guy yourself, but rather the things that happen below him. I think it may be the first game I ever played, where the character did absolutely nothing at all but some other force did. The designs were simple, but also unique.

[Async Racing]

Nice game!

KingDotCom has always done a good job of sponsoring good games and this is no exception. While I am not the biggest fan of driving games myself, this was pretty cool. The graphics were decent enough and I really like the use of the aerial shot. It was pretty complicated, although that could only be because I stupidly put it on hard mode. It is generally a fun game to play and has all that you could want in a racing game. I also like the different kinds of stages you can go through, so you can pace yourself.

[Operation:Onslaught]

Quite an onslaught

This was an underappreciate game I played and a very unique one. At first, I thought it was just going to be like this other game that had medals, but it was quite different. While the graphics were not flawless, it was still really fun to play. I do not quite understand how to get the upgrades, but that is my fault. It is embarassing how I was killed with that one boss not even by the boss himself, but by the little spiders it sent out. It is a pretty interesting environment and it is always fun to shoot guys up.

ZT responds:

Oh, man! Got snuffed by the spiders, huh? Don't be embarrassed, they can be tricky ;)

Upgrades are handled in the Shop, which is located in the Main Menu to the right of the Campaign button. Hope you can find it!

Thanks for playing, glad you liked it!

Pretty enjoyable

I was not impressed by this game that much at first, due to the fact that the graphics looked kind of silly. It reminded me of something that would appear on freeworldgroup or even MiniClip. This still managed to be a pretty fun game despite that. The ideas used were pretty inventive and you would be surprised at how much strategy it takes to beat the levels. It is always fun to blow up your enemies or simply destroy them. Birds carrying missiles is probably the best part of this.
