[The Bester Game Ever Made]

I found this game was ironic and yet fun to play at the same time. The game was more about having patience to get everything done. Even getting all the medals required patience since you had to play through more than once to get them all.

That being said I did enjoy the messages I saw whenever I decided to talk or look at something aside from Fonz who just says "AYYYYY!" every time. However you do need to talk to him a lot to get the medal which kind of felt like a waste and makes me wonder why he was put in the game if he serves on purpose at all.

Another funny set of medals I enjoyed was Talkative (talk to everything before taking stuff and after taking stuff) and Temporal Paradox (secret medal) where you go back to where the ghost hugged you only to see your own ghost instead and from there you can pretty much complete the game normally since nothing really seems to happen aside from a small conversation between the two.

The graphics of this game reminded me a lot of older video games yet at the same time there was some stuff that looked like it was drawn in MS Paint and not very pixelated such as the people and jellyfish. Then the black screen area with the ghost made me think of those times where you go out of bounds in video games and sometimes see stuff that was never meant to be seen.

The audio seemed pretty simple to me since it was just one sound I heard for when the trex was walking everywhere.

Game play was just having to be patient since moving from one screen to the next took a little bit of time to wait on. I did enjoy seeing the dialogue boxes saying various things and the game probably would have been more interesting had the ocean been grape soda instead as the trex in the game suggested. The duck's beak coming off and then ending the game with lasers and snakes was also pretty funny. Then there was the end where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles say they are aliens instead because of Michael Bay making a movie about them and I think the trex is right with saying childhoods will be ruined due to the movie possibly. Was very fun just trying to get through the game.

Then lastly the medals were rather fun and simple to get. Nice to see the way medals are unlocked is a little differently worded with a dinosaur appearing in the corner and saying what was unlocked in a speech bubble.

Overall, the game is funny with some of the dialogue. Ironic with the title of the flash (could be the best though depending on your opinion of the game). Very retro with the graphics, simple with the audio, and just a fun yet slow game to play. Nice work on this game, I guess there will be a third called "The Bestest Game Ever Made" too. Had fun playing this, great job.

[Hungry Gamers]

I found this to be an excellent and hilarious game at the same time. The sad part is might take a few playthroughs to realize you can't dodge the knife which is the whole joke of the game. The game itself was still fun and hilarious nonetheless.

The graphics here were pretty nice and no matter where you go the place looks really nice. Kind of funny though how hiding nearly right behind a tree just results in you dying most of the time without the tree falling since you have to be right up behind it. Good to see each character got their own look although the chances of being near most of them are slim to none since it is impossible to play for more than a few moments before being killed, or if you try to move off the platform before the timer goes down then you just blow up.

The music playing was pretty nice so that was rather enjoyable to say the least. Good work on Oney's part.

The medals are fun yet misleading all together. While they say one thing, how you get them is pretty different since as said earlier, you only play for a few moments each time meaning you have to know where to go to get each one. Probably the easiest medal to get though is the 100 point medal, just die 10 times to win. Then for the second medal, stand to the tree nearest to you on the left side. Then go to the black kid by going left for another one. Then grab the orange bag in front of you for another medal. Then go to the left and be near the guy with a mustache for another medal.

Overall, this is a hilarious April Fools Day game. Excellent work on this game.

[The Epic Hard Maze]

This game felt rather broken to me since you can literally get almost all of the medals without bothering to play for more than two minutes. After getting the first switch just keep pressing space to get all of the switch medals then watch the credits foe two more medals.

The music for the game felt alright.

The graphics of this game seemed to be ok but I feel maybe more work could have been put into it to make it look better and author description is a bit misleading since you say the robot is green yet they are blue/red instead. The underground was alright looking as well.

The parts of the game that need the most fixing is the game play itself. Mostly, hitting switches, every time I hit one I don't want to be sent to the menu to watch another ad, this gets annoying rather quickly and most of the times also enlarges the screen too with no way to zoom out to get it back to regular view just making it harder to see where switches are as the game goes on, possibly a coding but but I doubt anyone wants to see the menu and "PLAY" button every time they hit a switch.

Another glitch encountered was going to the underground resets the switches making the game take far longer to play.

This game could have been much better but far too buggy to even be able to enjoy. Best of luck making games in the future, hopefully they will be less buggy too.

[War of the Web]

This game is so small in size yet is fun to play online too with other people. Nice to see a lot of people have played it since it came out a couple of days ago. Another excellent online game from you I see.

The game play mostly focuses on strategy and being able to launch a base first with which said, you can either put up a launch pad or protect other people have gotten up a launch pad and try to race to get in the most research first to launch your team's rocket to Mars first. However, other things can be done such as building up an armory and barracks together to have a large amount of soldiers to defend yourself or attack with, making a spy hub for spying on anyone who has a large amount of coins, research, soldiers and such, or simply building up cities to get lots of coins real quickly.

The music I have to say was pretty nice and simple for the most part. The only sad thing is when the song is over instead of looping it simply ends until you do something then starts up again. The clicking and hovering over things sounds were nice as well. Would be nice to have a little more variety in music I suppose, maybe a different tune for each place you go and attack.

The graphics here were nice and simple, like how the background seems to look like the front page of the website the player is on giving it kind of a home feeling and then each site has a unique looking set of weapons, bases, cities, and etc. The panels change in color too to match the corresponding website that is being played on.

Possibly the hardest part is getting enough money stocked up in case you wish to do something or keeping the population happiness up enough to get an attack bonus. Found a nice idea for getting good money was having four to five cities then setting the tax rate to 0-3% until happiness was at 100% then keep the tax rate at 50-55% as it does not seem to go down when in that range and you get a nice sum of coins per turn. Then possibly stocking up on soldiers and level nine weapons which will help a lot if you get attacked or lose some soldiers while attacking.

The only other problem I encountered with the game was from time to time when the timer went down to zero is instead of gaining nine turns as usual you would get no turns at all for some reason. It doesn't happen often though which is very good.

Overall, very fun and competitive online game. Only problem is you do not get your turns every now and then. Excellent work!!

[Walls Lite has an error]

Well this needs some work on it. For one the secret medals DO NOT WORK currently. Beat the game, first secret medal is obtained yet does not show up as being unlocked making it a broken medal. The second secret medal does work though so if you ever get to working on this game again, fix up the "Lights, Camera..." medal so it appears and can be obtained.

Game play seemed simple which was just click some stuff for easy medals and obeying the ":3" face that appears on the computer. Clicking on "Who Cares" when it appears causes a glitch where no buttons can be clicked and the game must be restarted. The "Get help" option is kind of funny I guess since you go to a chat room where no one can really help with the problem anyways.

Graphics here seem pretty low and just slapped together. Could have at least spent some time doing the graphics if you aimed to make the game that easy to play. That and there is no music playing either making this an incredibly dull thing to play at all.

Overall, fix the broken medal, update the graphics, fix the "Who Cares" button so it won't mess up the game. Just needs improving.

[Ball Run]

This game needs a seriously heavy amount of work done to it!

For one I actually have not beaten the game yet as you spawn in the corner for level three and no matter how carefully I plan out the movement to get out of the corner I get hit by one of the balls anyways. To me it seems like that is simply making the game unwinnable. Should do as you did for the first to and have them randomly going somewhere on the screen rather coming right into the corner so you can't beat the level and finish the game. Fix that and do the same for any of the levels for four through seven as that just seem to be making the game unfair to most or all players.

The medal should either be removed altogether or actually given a name and description, "M", and "y" don't tell me anything about the medal or how to get it, for all I know it could be for getting hit by the balls a certain amount of times or restarting or whatever. That and seeing the medal, it looks like it has "Level 1" on it which makes me think even more that it's just for doing something on the first level rather than trying to complete the game.

Graphically, this game was boring. Black and white visuals aren't very appealing and since you aren't really having to do much aside from trying or attempting to beat the game you could have spent more time, far more time on the graphics and making it better than what it currently is which is bland.

The game play itself remains difficult and seems you did not spend very much time trying to code it very well. The circles while they do bounce seem to have been coded with a square in mind since multiple times for the bigger balls even when they did not touch me I would die and have to start over again, need to check and redo the coding there. Another minor thing is when I go right after doing the coded walking motion the character will be facing left again instead of standing and looking right. Playing around a bit, you coded the walking left correctly but left out a frame for going right since they auto turn left.

Another thing that could be done is giving instructions of how to play which seems rather easy as it is left and right. That and possibly giving a back story as to why they are running from the balls so they have a purpose to run. Do that much and maybe the game will be better than it currently is.

Sadly, the only thing I was even able to enjoy from the game was the music which was not too bad of a choice although a couple of other songs could have been used maybe to try to be more fitting to the game itself.

Overall, aside from the music itself which was actually alright, the rest of this game needs to be worked on a lot! The coding is a bit unfinished, level three cannot be finished or even get started long enough to survive in its current state, walking cycle for going right is missing a frame, no instructions or back story, medal has no purpose and needs to be updated so players will understand how to get it even though it is possibly just beating the game but I have no idea if that is what it is for. Graphics could use updating, maybe another song or two. Game just needs overall, a major redoing and lots of fixes.
