[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.

XweaselX responds:

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.

Hyptosis responds:

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

[The Final Death Wish]

Final Death Wish?

I like this game a lot, because it is really cool with how you are able to just shoot these guys over and over. I guess the idea is really creative, especially with how the guy thinks his Jesus and that guy's God. I imagine that some good things would indeed come from the Recycle Bin. I will say that the one thing you could have improved on this was being able to crotch down. Those little beetle things would not have much of a chance to hit you if you could do that. The music is also nice.

Arkuni responds:

The music is awesome! Thanks a lot to Kimken for making it!

[Faen]

It is very strange

I can tell this is your first game as it shows off a style that is just very out of the ordinary. What I mean is, it feels as thought you are not sure of what technique you want to use. Normally, I am a fan of more action games but this was actually pretty playable. You were not able to do much at all except press some buttons at a certain time. I was even able to get as far as Level 3, and I still do not understand what this game means. I guess it is a very interesting journey into this website as it is quite incomprehensible.

Propell responds:

When I made this game I experimented with Actionscript for the first time. I found out with the code I understood I could make a type of "healing-game", like in world of warcraft. Basically it is the same as world of warcraft (as the healer role) without the graphics.
This website is filled with interesting stuff. I have also been browsing a lot on this site :)

[Everybody Edits 1.0+]

Needs sound, but great

I enjoyed playing this game simply because it was a great example of creativity. People are coming on to a flash game that is similar to an open forum where everyone can give what they think is the best things to add. I did not like how there was no sound, but that was my only problem. It is the sort of thing that you can do on all day as there are so many environments to explore. I love those little smiley faces who just roll and float everywhere for no reason. It is an interesting game as there is really not even a way to win.

Benjaminsen responds:

Mmm good point about sound, just hard to find something that does not annoy most of the users

[killah thrillah!]

Too old looking

This would probably have been better if it was a flash that was submitted in a time like 2000. Now, it looks pretty cheesy. I will say that the thing most disappointing about this was that it had nothing to do with Michael Jackson at all. Yeah, I know he is dead, but you could have at least put the "Thriller" song in, as it is my favorite song of his. I did kind of like how the blood remained in the same window when you shot the guy. You really have a lot of room to show off your creativity as best you can.

mizmoz responds:

i know its old looking but i wanted to make an old school game :)

[Ultimate Chess]

Very cool!

I am going to say right now that I really have no idea at all how to play chess, but perhaps I know more than the average person. I love how you get to see all the different kinds of death scenes. There was a point where I was simply unable to move anywhere. I like the graphics used in this one, as the way the characters look is really goofy. I may not be good at it, but it is just fun to hear all those guys talk in their dumb voices. It seems like something a lot older, but still manages to be funny.

RatherRandomReality responds:

Humor and entertainment were the main ideas behind this game, I'm glad you were able to enjoy it.

[Pyroscape]

I found the secret

How ironic that the only medal I would gain would happen to be the secret medal. Anyway, I thought this was a standard game but it was unique in that it was an entire live-action game with some animated fire in it. It must be interesting to win both the Underdog of the Week and Daily 4th Place award. Everything is realistic although I am sure you modeled that on your own room. It was interesting to see your comments when I clicked the wrong things in the room. It took me intuition to make this.

Fro responds:

Thanks for checking this one out before you checked the sequel out. ;) (making fun of your review for the teaser for number 2)

[Pico's Ludo Vengeance]

Very nice game

I find myself very fortunate that I was only the 5th person to view this submission. I even managed to get the first medal! For all of you who may want to know about that, you simply find the giant flower and then go back to the woman picking the flowers. It is the first time I ever played a game with medals and got a medal before it was passed! As for the game itself, the graphics were nice, but the controls could use a bit of work. It is too bad that you were not able to get this submission in time for Pico Day.

MarcyVF responds:

Thanks :)
Yeah the medals are not "in function" right now it seems, but I'll just wait for that. I really tried to finish it for Pico Day but I was away all weekend so yeah... :/ Too bad.
