[Moovlin PC Demo Version]

Nice!

Graphics: Decent, but the same as always. The animation is way better, but I'd have preferred if you gave Moovlin a facelift or something. No matter how well animated he is, he's just a bunch of squares. Still, you did a good job putting everything together... This one has a nice professional layout. You should've set the registry point to the side on the health bars, though.

Sound: Voiceovers were decent; in a different release I couldn't hear them for crap. Better quality, too. The musical score was pretty nice, and the sound effects were good. One thing was that the only 'getting hurt' sound effect was the electric buzz. I refuse to believe that getting hit with a spiked barrel creates an electro-magnetic force around me that jolts my health by 1/5.

Gameplay: It was decent, but lacked a bit. You need in-depth enemies, with a bit more health, like your bosses. Maybe some generic enemies too that don't follow patterns, especially something that'll follow you around. I didn't like the backflip move, since you couldn't move left or right during the flip. This ate up a lot of my time. The gameplay was also pretty brutal; fall once and boom, no leaderboard for you! It was strange seeing Moovlin as more of a race level... It's not even an RPG anymore, really.

Overall, this was pretty good, but seemed to lack something. I guess that's why it's a demo. Add more enemies, with different abilities. It would also be pretty good if you could make a leveling system so you could train your health and damage.

[Cave of Wonders]

Bad

Graphics: These were pretty good, but simple. No lighting effects, nothing extravagant, the colors were pretty bland.
Sounds: I didn't like the music that much, but since all of it came from the same artist, it maintains a decent theme. Sound effects were a little annoying.
Gameplay: Bad. BoMToons always uses similar game engines. Thankfully this one didn't feature moving up and down, so it wasn't so much a spamming strategy like it usually is. Even so, it's another dodge-crap-and-attack game. There weren't many randomizations in the fighting, or anything special, like powerups or being able to use special attacks on the enemy.
Style: It's the same stuff again. You need to save the world from some dude and then you get a frame praising you cheesily.

BoMToons responds:

You so sassy!

[Pirate Golf Adventure]

Hmm, Decent, but...

> Graphics: Pretty good, had a nice art style, had a nice effect that I rarely see in Flash. Good lighting, realistic proportions.
> Sound: A bit modest. Wasn't too fond of the music myself, but I guess it's better than nothing.
> Style: Horrible. This game just made pirates less badass. D:<
> Gameplay: It was interesting. I didn't really like how you could hit the ball in the air or while it was still moving... The coin collecting got kind of old, and I would have preferred if holes had a "par" to them. In some cases, the gameplay depended grotesquely on brute force, like firing off as many powerful shots as quickly as possible.

All in all, it was fun, but nothing special. The physics had a twist to them, but it wasn't anything off the wall.

headjump responds:

Thank you very much for your detailed review. It helps me a lot to know about your thoughts.

I'm sorry that my pirates are not badass enough, but unfortunately all the badass pirates in my game passed away during the storm... ;)

[Freelancer RPG]

A Bit Dull

Sorry, Zorse. This wasn't really anything special.

Graphics were good, especially the ones on the computer, but I still think you're a bit out of Fluff's range (no offense to Fluff). Decent art style, but would have preferred some realism in it.

Sound: Got kind of annoying. That's all I can say about it. It just about drove my brains out.

Style: Decent, but didn't have much of a story, not much of anything going on in it. It was just clicking around on different stuff.

Gameplay: It was fun but got old quickly. The save feature isn't very good, either. The cheats were kind of funny, especially trying out all of the desktops. I liked the whole concept of getting all of the goals, but it would have been nice if there were several ways to complete them. It would have been nice if there were different ways to gain stats, like a fast way OR an expensive way, the way Stick RPG had different strategies depending on whether you wanted to cash in long-term or short-term. Some mini-games would have been nice, especially because otherwise the game was just a point-and-click.

This game is a pretty good engine, and has some potential, but you should work on it.

just for shitz n' giggles

[Windows Doors Demo]

Cool!

I really liked it! Realistic graphics, good style, not much sound I'm afraid, but it was a nice program. The chatbot was bloody awesome considering you're a single person and not a company, and the Word was pretty cool, too.

Archawn responds:

Thanks! People really do love the chatbot. The full version comes out on December 16!

[Vector Boom]

Expertly Done!

Graphics: 9/10 - Very cool backgrounds, good cinematics, some cool fading and glow effects, great graphics for the spacecraft, although the minion spaceships seemed a bit simple.
Sound: 10/10 - Music didn't get old, nice quality, very satisfying explosion sounds.
Style: 10/10 - Everything about it was awesome!!! Great art style, great gameplay style, very neat concept, everything was delicious!
Gameplay: 15/10 - Very good style of gameplay. I love how a new player is instantly handed incredible power, although it's their job to be responsible with it. Also great about it was how simple the gameplay was, and how there were so many levels of difficulty. Upgrades were definitely cool, but more than anything I loved the way the player attacked. Very original and easy to use.

This game was an absolute joy to play!!

[Upgrade Complete!]

Fun

I love how the game evolves from a simple shooter into powerful instruments of war. The upgrades are a bit folly, aside from the in-game ones, though... The game was also a bit easy. Maybe some kind of medal like "Beat the game without losing more than 5 times" would be cool.

And here's the best thing you can do:
Line up guns side by side until you have 4 on each side... Start them off as level 1s, you don't need to build up each one slowly before adding another. Just direct the kill zone wherever, and the enemies drop like stones.

[OCD+]

Bad

Graphics: 5/10 - Very simple, yet decent. Nothing excessive, no animation, so I'll have to go with a 5, though.
Sound: 7/10 - Nice music, good quality, sound effects could get annoying though.
Style: 10/10 - I very much liked the joke on how ridiculous of extents people like Life, Fleshlight, or KingExodus go to just to get some medals. It was a bit funny how you made fun of them in such a painful way.
Gameplay: 0/10 - The gameplay is terrible. Like you said, it's just some OCD crap. Leave your computer on for 14 hours, prop up some toothpaste on the K button, hit Tab and Enter, and decompile the Flash and copy/paste it into the typing terminal. It was very bland, and although everything worked, who would want it to?

[Barbarian Bob [Remake]]

Didn't Like It

It was fun, the graphics were simple but pithy and I liked them. The soundtrack was phenomenal, but the gameplay wasn't too hot. You couldn't really button mash or perform combos, the strategy was haywire as the key response time was totally wack, I can't say I enjoyed it too much.

For InvinciBob, just run from the enemies and don't fight them EXCEPT for the level with the first boss. I made the mistake of skipping the enemies, only to have them come back and bite me in the butt while I was fighting the boss. Be thorough with the guys on these levels, and always have your shield in front of you. If it's running out, jump onto a ledge and wait it out.

For Shieldless Wonder, don't fight the enemies AT ALL, AT ALL, AT ALL. You also need the Tutorial to be off, and I like setting the Shield button to something I'll never press, like `. Doesn't matter if you die a few times, just don't lose all of your lives.

[Darnell's Recount]

Fun, Fun, Fun!

The graphics were utterly awesome, especially the You Got Wrecked skull. Funky and utterly hilarious. Great musical score, the animation lacked proper physics, although my guess is it wasn't supposed to be a style of realism. I loved the secret levels, and how the game was hard but not too hard. Very, very funny, maybe a bit stereotypical, but fun. Definitely.
