[Avoid Posidon's Wrath]

Great.

Overall, it was a good game. But there are some things that can be improved upon:

1. The glitch that occurs when you jump off the left/right side of the screen.
2. The fact that the water moves too slowly. You could possibly have it so that there is a burst of water every 3 secs, then 2.9 secs, then 2.8 secs, etc., to make for a more interesting game.
3. Under certain conditions, after coming into contact with the water, and the player shrinking, the game does not go to the death screen, but rather the character reverts to its regular size and the game continues.
4. Maybe adding some bonuses can make the game a bit more interesting. After every gush of water, a bonus can appear on the screen for a certain amount of time. The bonuses can be extra points, imperviousness to water, higher jumps, slowed-down time, etc.
5. The artwork as it was a great, especially the water, but maybe you should add the ocean slightly below the platforms, and have there be a discernable water/horizon-line.
6. Maybe after a set time (30 secs or so) lightning could appear -- not only the surges of water to add another element of complexity to the game.
7. You could have more difficulty levels - easy is three platforms with one surge of water at a time, medium is four platforms with two surges of water at a time, and hard is five platforms with three surges of water at a time. The four platforms could be arranged as if they were the verticies of a rhombus so that two and only two platforms could be jumped on from any given plat more. The five platforms could be arranged as in a rhombus with a platform at its center so that three platforms could be jumped on from any given point.

Anyway, great game overall. 4/5.

[::Alien Attack::]

Nice game

Overall, a very nice game. Some possible suggestions:

1. At around level 3, you can just hold down space for incessant shooting abilities. Unless you wanted it that way, you could get rid of that.
2. You could do some things to vary the game. For example, you can have bonuses that drop from the sky, such as a speed booster, a laser shooter, a bomb, a shield, etc.
3. The enemies could also be varied. Their moving style is monotonous, and can make the game fairly boring. As you progress through the levels, you can make them go in predetermined zig-zags or any other motion path to add a bit of variety to the game.
4. You could add a story mode/plot to the game. For example, you are out on a quest to save the galatic princess from the evil spaceships (well, not that, as it would be incredibly stupid, but something with some sort of plot).
5. You could make an explosion animation. It doesn't substantially improve the game a lot, but it could make it more fun.
6. Perhaps you can add a meter that shows how much life you have left. The coloring of the spaceship to indicate health was good, and should be kept, but an additional meter would be nice so that you can tell precisely how much life you have left.
7. You can give the enemies different weapons. Or maybe have a shot that explodes when it reaches the bottom of the screen. As the levels progress, that explosion may become bigger, therefore making the level harder.
8. A relatively simple addition (although largely unneeded) would be a two-player mode. Just make a button for two-player mode, add another spaceship with different controls.
9. Another small improvement might be to have the stars randomly arranged upon completion of a level. It might minimally improve the game.

Other than that, great game. 4/5.

[Bomberman Card Game]

...

Don't worry, I would've given this the same score had it been stolen or not. Pathetically, however, it was stolen.

[Flushed]

Nice

This was a very good game. Nice sound, smooth gameplay, good graphics. Some things that you might want to work on are:

1. Making buttons that you can press, because some people will give this a zero just because they are too stupid to read the instructions, and cannot figure out how to play the game.
2. A better storyline. Not much, just some sort of explanation.
3. Some sort of powerups, such as something to make you jump higher, something to make you run faster, invincibility, a weapon, etc.
4. More levels. It was a great game, but it was over too fast.
5. Different kinds of enemies. Maybe some enemies that can fly, some that can jump, instead of just walking ones.
6. Maybe a different kind of health bar, so you know exactly how much health you have instead of a picture of an explosion.
7. Clearer instructions on how to compete a level. Maybe I missed them, but something saying that you need to collect all the rings before completing the level.

Anyway, great game!

this is a great review, i think il work on those listed features that you posted. thx for the input

[Earth Defense l]

Good...

This was a fairly good game. Some things that can be added are:

1) Shorter, but more, levels.
2) Maybe some sort of powerups to make your opponents slow down, make you speed up, etc.
3) Some different enemies, maybe someone shooting at you or such.
4) Something should happen when you collide with your enemy, maybe you bounce off, slow down, etc.
5) Maybe an exploding animation for bombs that you don't get to.
6) A health bar, so you know how many bombs your opponent needs to get to win. When he gets a bomb, your health goes down.

Other than that, it was a very good game. I'd say 6.5/10.

[Shooting Fish In A Barrel]

Short

The idea for the game is nice, but it was way too short and easy. I beat it in under a minute. If you add more levels, make is harder, add different weapons, add different fish, etc., it would be a much better game.
