[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!

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

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.

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.

[Attack of the Ubermothers]

Loved the slo-mo

This was a very nice game of me to play, simply because I love the graphics. It was a little annoying with how I was not able to go anywhere, but still good. I just wish that I could shoot those stupid grannies that keep popping up. I also love how the madness just seems to never end and while it is hard, it does give you time to come up with strategy. There is so little thought to this game, I could not help but love it. The slow motion is among the most fun that I have ever seen used in any game here.

Arkuni responds:

All my submissions have slow-motion somewhere.
People can love it & hate it all they want. I'm still gonna use it ^_^

[Super Adventure Game Land]

Great title

I knew this was going to be a very interesting game just from the great title it had. At first, I thought it might be a joke game where it was simply no gameplay at all and that guy talking on for so long. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it did indeed have a story and adventure of its own. I do not know how to talk to the princess or fight the dragon or anything. It is still a very cute effort because you are simply able to have those cute little graphics. I like how stupidly the character's legs move.

squidly responds:

Ouch, I don't like those "joke games" where the joke is that the game doesn't exist.
I like some substance, you know?
And uh, to talk to the princess, I mean, it's just like the info booth guy.
And the dragon, just keep going right... You'll go through the "dangerous outside," the forest of homicidal trees, and eventually you'll get to his cave.

[Programming God]

I am a fast typer

I was also a fast typer and this seemed to be a good way to test out my true skills. My highest score is 269,000 which at least ended me up on the Top 40. I love this game simply because I have always prided myself on being a great typist and this is such a great way to do it. It reminds me of that scene in the movie "Bruce Almighty" where Bruce basically does that. He is, in fact, playing God in that scene. I like the holy music that is played to truly give the player a sense that he or she is a God.

Wiesi responds:

Thanks for reviewing!
