[Shota Dress-up]

Good start

This is actually not too bad for a starters dressing game and you haven't even been here for about a week and you are already doing good with flash I see. This game is ok for a start but once you start getting better you can add backgrounds and songs to make it even more fun and possibly an option to print it out on printers too.

The background was basic but alright at the same time so nice work in that area I think. The main part of the fun was giving him different looks and such. Took me a moment to figure out the line thing was a leash. Why would he need a leash though, little kids though I guess, they wander away from their parents every now and then on accident or purpose.

The outfits, hair, and other stuff was nice. I think the next one though you should give a bit more variety with unisex, male, and female clothes for the fun of it. It would make the dress up funner and give some people a good little laugh I think.

Overall, this is actually pretty good for your first attempt at a dress up game. You have patience to draw nicely too. How do you draw so well? Good luck on future flash projects.

:3 Thank you soooo much for the fair review! On a side not, it's not a leash, haha ^_^ It's supposed to be an mp3 player *shot*

Thank you for the helpful tips! I am going to apply those in my future endeavors!

[From Beyond]

Excellent game

This actually turned out to be real simple with no story line but it was also felt a bit like Katamri Damacy but instead of reloading the planet for each level you had to try to pick up whatever was leftover from the last level and by the time I kept getting to the black hole there was barely anything left to work with. The highest I can manage to get here is around 22,000 but you have to get a really good spot and have good timing when you toss whatever you got at the planet.

The animating was great. The background is really simple. However it would be nice if for the black hole if the background would also start getting sucked in as well, would make for a nice effect for this game. The cosmic horror looks pretty simple yet weird as well.

The audio was fitting and felt a bit creepy too. That seems to be fitting for a game like this though.

Overall, great piece of work.

[Wings of Genesis]

Very fun game, loved it!!

I don't play many side scrolling games but I surely liked this one and would recommend others to play it as well too. The way the game is played is a bit different from most side scrollers I play as it incorporates the feel of an RPG with a level up system. The higher your level the easier and faster you can complete a level here.

I found the game play to be straightforward with the ability to swap what attacks and leveled up spirit creature you were using as you evolved it later in the game. Also liked how you could go back and change what the leveled up creature was by clicking on an earlier form of the spirit creature. That made it pretty fun.

The accessories and items are a real help. I always made sure to have at least one lady luck on me for the later levels when I could synthesize better items to equip on me. Also nice how the golden apple is on the list of things to synthesize that can't be made, it had to be found and earned instead.

The story line was also beautifully mastered here. You start off with the simple task of finding someone and then have to go on to beat all twelve zodiac beasts before you fight the final boss who takes awhile. I found an easy thing to do was go back through the earlier levels and try to play the easiest one you can that gives you the most exp with each run through to beef up your character and beast while gathering stones and other items in the level.

The graphics were greatly done here. The bosses looked pretty cool. The one I liked the most was the third one though, she looked pretty awesome. However I was able to dodge her with ease after figuring out her attack pattern. I would wait until after her attack and continue the assault afterward. The background images and foreground images were very nice looking here too. When it all came together it made a beautiful scene.

The status ailments make it true to an rpg genre, the only thing I ever got annoyed with was the poison status as early on in the game I would have to restart a level several times to get enough exp to try boosting my poison resistance enough. The no attack status was cool but short. The only one I never understood was the heart barrier. I didn't get what was going on and saw nothing happening with the hp either.

The game overall was a big blast to play. The final boss was fun and trying to play through using all three characters gives a great view point and challenged me to try different attack strategies as well. I will say that overall I really enjoyed this game. Excellent piece of work!!

[The Squirrel Game]

Cute and fun

I actually found this to be a pretty cute game. What makes it even better is that it contains medals!! The game is quite fun though. I like how simple the music loop is as well. reminds me of 100 Acre Woods from Kingdom Hearts as well.

Really like the graphics as they look cutesy and all that nice stuff. The background looked pretty sweet as well. I just enjoyed the background as I went along in this game too.

The game play was great here. Simple game play and the options of 3 life or hardcore 1 life where you die on contact. The hardcore difficulty I would recommend to those who have really good time speed running things and almost never take damage at all. The nuts you pick up are great. However I only encounter one downside to this flash game.... never changing scenery.

I mean the rooftop running is nice but it would be cool if they both finally got away from the city and began running in a forest and a couple of other places as well.

I will just say that overall this is a great game though. Good music, fun time, and the only downside is that you are always running on rooftops. Excellent work here.

[REPLAYING :the game:]

Repeat and defeat

This is just as much fun as the first one but now you have a couple of achievements to unlock in this second round of the same game.

The graphics never got incredible except on the Mona and shooting level. The only level I even had problems with was the stock market level. How the heck do I even finish that level up anyways?

The game play was repetitive and always ended with you dying except for the couch level involved. Really kind of wish that more than just the background changed here to make it even more entertaining to the player.

Overall, great game but too repetitive for me.

[Achievement Unlocked 2]

Great workout

I think this is a pretty good workout for the mind since you need to work out a really good path ahead of time if you aim to get more than half the achievements in a single run through of this quick action game.

The graphics are still simple as they were in the first version of this game but now with a lot more stuff to do in such a short time. I found the hardest one to get was reaching the top and touching all of the floor in ceiling tiles in under four minutes. That was just insane to try pulling off actually.

Still this game had a lot of upsides aside from the never ending carnival loop that always plays in this short game.

I would say that overall this game turned out excellent.

[Exit Path]

Challenging

I found this to be a great game to play. It was quite amusing, daring, and fun.

The graphics were pretty nice. Really liked how interesting it got right as soon as you "finish" the game and find out someone had written in blood that they would be trapped there for awhile.

The game play was fun and I enjoyed being able to make a custom little stick figure to run and complete courses with. The funner part is watching yourself rewind to the point of where you died to the last check point you hit. I found the later levels to be fun yet challenging sine the swinging axes, spikes, and lasers made this game very good.

The audio was pretty nice as well and livened up the game by a lot.

Overall, a very fun and quickly addicting game.

[Sugar, sugar]

Pretty simple

This has some cool graphics. Not much with the music even though it is still good.

I like this game and all but it was just too simple for me. The graphics and game play are nice though but not much of a way in challenge even in the later levels. I found some of the user made content fun though so that is an upside.

Overall, was cool to me, however the game play is too simple. I guess that is good in a way since it's a good quick time killer when you have nothing to do.

[Tsunami Fighter]

Quite fun

I actually think this is going to be worth playing for awhile since it also allows users to donate to help the victims of the earthquakes in Japan.

The graphics were nice and retro as always. How do you two always manage to make everything look retro yet fun at the same time if I may ask?

The game play was nice and kind of felt like it was teaching players to type so I guess it could be a game aimed toward a young audience as well right? I found that the farther I went that it kept getting harder with each wave requiring faster finger tapping.

The music was nice and kind of reminded me of Pokemon Puzzle League for some reason or another.

Overall, this game turned out nice.

The reason is that I'm awesome at pixel graphics and Rog is awesome at making NES music.

[The Invisible Trousers]

Great piece of work

I have to say this was rather creative and made the game fun with the fact that the bottom part of your body is invisible and you can defy the laws of physics as well!!

The graphics were very simple yet nice at the same time as well to me. The way that you die causes a slight blood spot for a moment as you are recreated and enter the same room is nice too. Like how there is not a lot of dialogue which is good. It is even better that you can skip the dialogue without listening to those people too.

The audio choices were quite nice here. The songs were fitting and added a bit more drama to the story.

The gameplay was great but the only real thing that ever annoyed me in some levels was the inability to duck and dodge spikes. Also kind of sad but interesting how those trapezoid pieces prevent you from walking in a certain direction however you can fall through them.

Overall, an interesting game and story!!
