[Attack Of The Demon Sword]

This was pretty hard and nearly unplayable to me. The controls are a bit too loose for its own good, difficulty takes the sport and feel out of it (can barely get past 5 in the coin collecting in it) and there's no sound (as far as I can see) or even music to add atmosphere to it. This to me might be an interesting game once its polished and given some 'piazzas' to it to make it more fun and a unique gameplay experience. However, I'm only reviewing on what I assume is the "beta" version before official release. I'm going to give you a 1 in a half out of 5. And a 2/5 in voting power. Keep polishing it and do some tweaks and maybe it might be a great title for all I know! Keep trying and don't give up! I hope you've enjoyed this review and have a good day.

I have to say, this game was 'unique' to say the least. It felt very old fashioned and dated. And to play it in a "business" based scenario was fun in some concept and design. But there's where the bad stuff comes in. The game felt virtually almost unplayable, hit detection was very weak, difficulty was a bit high some so it doesn't give you too much time to react or fool around and just the overall style made it hard for me to tell what was coming, where to hit and even what to do some. I'm bestowing you a 1 in a half out of 5 for trying. And a 2/5 in voting power. Keep practicing and bettering yourself and then, I bet you'll make a great flash game down the road. I hope you have a good day.

That was quite and intriguing physics based game! It was challenging yet fun and it tests your skill and patience. Audio was quite nice, especially accompanied by a nice little soundtrack to give you the feeling of relaxation. Although the tune does get repetitious after awhile. Style is very shaded and bright vivid colors. I really did enjoy this game friend! I'm going to bestow you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 3/5 in voting power. I hope you've enjoyed this review friend. Good day.

[The Visit]

That was great!!!! I really loved this. Your style kind of gave me that "Adventure Time" vibe but with your own twists in it. Audio was original and audible to say the least. The game basically from my playthrough is that there's "three" endings as far as I can see. The first is the main plot driven story where you get past the friendly crab people and get to the "Hero's" girl, THE END! Then you have the latter route where if you "kill" a crab person in a dark comedic twist cops arrest and apprehend the protagonists where he's presented on trial. There's two choices in the matter: 1. is your really apologetic and sorry. 2. Your a complete jerk and doesn't care about the consequences. Then you await your "sentences" where it actually in a sense "punishes" the player by letting them wait. Afterwards your set free and everything has changed for he worst. Including weeping or enraged crab people (or both!). If you apologized earlier you can apologize to the grieving little crustacean filled crowd. Or if you've chosen the alternative and wasn't sorry to begin with they are just a raging little crowd. Then you finally get to the Hero's girlfriend.....Who is plain pissed at him. And also depending on the ending your cat come's to you and either slaps your for the "atrocities" you committed or it forgives you in a sense. this game wowed me some and has minor repay value for it. To me the game should of been a tad bit longer since i enjoyed the whole feel of the game but then it just goes into an abrupt end. I'm going to bestow you a 3 in a half out of 5. And a 4/5 in voting power. You've done a fantastic job here friend. Also as a quick side note. Will you make something like this similar in the future? My mind keeps saying that if you went farther with this it might end up as an indie game, And I love indie games! Anywho, I hope you've enjoyed this review and keep practicing and honing those awesome skills! Good day.

Oh man, thanks for the elaborate review. Glad you enjoyed it.

We're in fact thinking about expanding the project or a similiar one.

[Oh my... Ghosts!]

not what I was expecting. I was turned off by how unfortunate this game was. Frankly it would of been a bit decent if it were not for the controls and the software used. I'm used to seeing regular NG labels that would ask you to proceed on one's judgement. However I'm greeted with a different screen that makes mention of "Content may not be appropriate". ....Huh!? What's that about? There's nothing in this game that would be considered "in appropriate". And the game itself is unfortunately not fun as previously mentioned the controls just weren't cut out out since mainly the game is played in wide screen and whenever I hit the arrow keys the damn screen keeps moving about to side to side and when I click the space bar it takes the blasted page down where I can't react in time and all the spooks just gang rape me like I was nothing. In terms this game was made almost unplayable to only a certain degree. Also the game itself felt weathered and dry. That's how bland it is. So if I can't play through fairly who else can? Unless of course I guess maybe this game was made for I-touches or something. But I digress, I'm going to give you 1/5 and a 1/5 in voting power. Hopefully you can conquer these minor problems that plagued my fun and hopefully might not ruin anybody elses fun. Good day.

[Billy's Barricade]

That was fun and challenging! It was a cute horror themed game, you can literally feel some of the tension on trying to survive each challenging day. Not only that but it also had unique opening as well. The only problem is basically it get a little repetitive after awhile and then there's the big issue with the viewing of the objects and your progress and timer bars. They almost feel useless and only adds more nerve racking tension on trying not to miss one single solitary piece of furniture. But besides being a bit seldom difficult it was as mentioned before fun and a challenging game to beat. I'm going to bestow you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 2/5 in voting power. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

[Cabin Survival Horror]

This wasn't what I expected. This felt a bit rushed to me. There's so many flaws to shift through. For starters The environment felt very bland, not really a creepy mood that I was expecting. Whenever I attack the character just repetitively hollers out "Gunshot!" "Gunshot!" while the rest of the dialogues are fitting in its own rights I didn't need to holler out what he's doing to his adversaries (Being undead flesh eaters). Character designs were very plain and overly simplistic. Also the zombies the way they kept coming made them very relentless, they go into formation like something out of Space Invaders. They get into single file and such and just literally gang rape you without any consent. And when I attack you shoot....one.......at.......a........
Time! I was over taken just under 1 minute and 56 seconds before my cabin was over ran. The only positive things to make mention is the sound effects and the various items that litter the screen to keep you "alive" but doesn't do any good anyway since you barely get much of a fighting fair chance to even survive one minute. I'm going to give a solid 1/5 and a 1/5 in voting power. I had high hopes, yet I've been let down (as usual). I hope you keep practicing and improving in the deep future here. Keep at it! Good day.

This being my second game EVER it was a bit rushed. But worry not because I am ironing out all of the bugs as I type this.

Thanks for the input though.

[Shadow Tag]

This was a great game! The graphics were gorgeous and the atmosphere was foreboding and unwelcoming. However either my system is making the game lag some from time to time or this game might have some minor problems since my game keeps dying on me. And plus not only that but non of you creator commentary have me a full explanation to anything about this game besides being done for the "NG Game Jam 8" which again this is a nice entry but I was thrown headfirst into this game with no explanation via plot, controls or any background into on characters and such. Eitherway though this game does give one a sense of being "hunted" which this is tag we're taking about right? Only instead of being a friendly childhood game your life is the one at stake. I made it till the fourth round, again due to the game "freaking out" it refused to continue for me. So I gave up, even though I wanted t get all the medals and unlock something more malevolent the "gruesome twosome". I love and admire Slendy (a.k.a Slender man) and would of had one hell of a time if I made it to him! But anywho, it is what it is. I'm going to bestow you a 3 in a half out of 5. And a 4/5 in voting power. I hope you've enjoyed this review friends. Good day.
