[Barbarian]

This was an okay game. Unfortunately it lacks the content that you've mentioned, basically a story mode. Otherwise though its a nice update from the previous version. It has this heavy metal theme but also throw in some classic Conan the Barbarian action and this is your result! Fighting is brutal and it blends in both action and some minor strategy along with (of course) luck. I ended up winning two bouts before having my head instantly lopped off which can also be done to your adversary. Which brings me to another problem, lack of various characters. Its basically one barbarian against another "doppelganger". Both are virtually the same barbarian in character design down to the last detail, the only minor difference is both color pallets or their color scheme via one being more brighter than the other. However, Its not entirely "bad" since these are minor flaws to behold. If story mode was implemented it would of been a better fighter for me. I'm going to bestow you a 1 in a half out of 5. And a 2/5 in voting power. This was again, an okay game and it did have some nice versatility especially in sprite motion and design. I hope you've enjoyed this review and keep creating friend. Good day.

Heya! Thanks for taking the time to review the game.

I'm an artist, and not much of a coder - I started this game with some help, but ended up finishing the polish phase myself. The game we originally planned was supposed to be bigger, but since we stopped dev mid-way through it, I decided to polish the parts that were mostly done, and publish the game "as is".
As an artist, most of the sprites work was done, as well as the background, etc, so I thought publishing the game would at least allow me to showcase my art :)
I believe the game is still very playable, but I do agree it lacks the "scope" of the original (although, not by much :))

[Cabin Within Wood]

This was nice even though it was hastily made. It only took you six hour to accomplish this clickable game? Not bad! It enjoy the mood of it, for some reason it felt more like a noir or a horror themed game but I was proven wrong. Audio was decent to say the least. I'm going to bestow you a 2/5 and a 2/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

[Kaboom Zombies]

This was pretty fun! At the beginning I was assuming that you just slay one puzzled level of zombies after another then the harder levels changed my whole perception of it! It was tricky due to where you place your shots and how many said shots you have left. I managed to get through every level but not without retrying certain ones at a certain amount of time. I managed to finally beat the 20th level and win the game! Again the later levels become more demanding. Otherwise though its a fun decent little puzzle based game to kill some time. 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.

[BLAZING ELVES DEMO]

Beautiful Game! Well done my friends, well done. Its been ages since I've seen or even played a side-scrolling beat'em up based game. This gave me so many nostalgic memories. The style is almost reminiscent to ukiyo-e painting to a certain level and degree. Audio is very classical in a gaming sense, Even the score sound effect from metal Slug is in here! Gameplay wise it has your classical old-school controls, including configurations setup and to easily access audio controls as well. The source and soul of the gameplay belies in your close quartered fighting, even grappling and jump attacking is easily implemented to give yourself some leeway and quarter up to dishing out your onslaught of attacks. The story was riveting to a certain length and degree. The minor scratches that got to me was the grammar and how the characters were portrayed, from being engaging to then befuddling and out there. But above all else though you won the fan boy in my heart as an old school gamer! I can't wait for the actual release of the final product soon. I'm going to bestow you a 4 in a half out of 5. And a 4/5 in voting power. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Again, I cant wait to play your awesome game soon! Good day.

[The Brawl 2 - Nicki Minaj]

This was a fun and somewhat nostalgic game. The only minor complaint I had with the game was its occasional lag in gameplay and in the dialogue used via lip synching but other than that it was a fun great game. I won out after a good brawl and curious about who I should take on next! The nostalgic value is that it reminds me of the NG collection, basically the Assassin Portal that is loaded with parodies and games of tongue and cheek use of mocking celebrities (of the most loved and "most" hated people and beings in the world). To me this brought me back to the 90's for a brief moment. I'm going to bestow you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 3/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I hope you've enjoyed this review just as much as I have enjoyed this awesome game. Good day.

[Nazi Doctor]

Nice mixed emotional game. True it is offensive but one must understand what underwent in the Second World War. Joseph Mengele was just one out of the many fiends and cowards that slain and butchered many people of many sides whether you were friend or foe if you were a thorn in Hitler's side or any of the Nazi regime's high ranking powers you might as well in that time and era signed your own death warrant since there was no going back when you went down that winding road of Hell. Sad and so tragically true. Graphics and playability wise its very typical in an old gaming sense since its your friendly neighborhood button masher from Hell (in this game's topic and subject)! Audio is in an 8-bit Atari like manner too! It was nice to stir up some underlying emotions in a historical sense. Others may or may not approve or enjoy this game as I did in again a historical insight. I'm going to bestow you a 3/5 in and a 3/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

[Locked Room]

This was a fun, cute, simple game. You've done a good job on creating something that is worth racing to see who can unlock the door the fastest! The difficulty is basic but can be tricky for those that don't observe their surroundings with a bit of patience. I'm going to bestow you a 2 in a half out of 5 and a 3/5 in voting power. You've done a good job friend! Keep creating, practicing and contributing on here. I hope you've enjoyed this review as I did with your game. Good day.

[Ancient Asylum]

This was a fun game. Although its a pretty tricky game to accomplish I had my fun. I'm going to bestow you a 3/5. And a 3/5 in voting power. I hope you've enjoyed this review as I did your game. Good day.

[The Most Wanted Bandito]

This was a well rounded game! Everything was perfect except for two things. The first is that I notice sometimes the game would lag from time to time but not so much as to disrupt gameplay. The last is the control scheme, It was hard and a bit on the horrible side. If it wasn't for these controls I would be the best bandito that the wild west would of had for a long time. Everything else as mentioned is perfect. The soundtracks, graphics and gameplay flawless. 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 and keep up the contributions for the best flash games here! Good day.

[Negative Space]

Intriguing! Not only is it a challenging game but it delves into the world of physics. In order to overcome the many obstacles it not just some mere simple rocket propulsion and then win, There are areas that get more progressively challenging as one continues into the great voyage of deep space! The graphics were simply gorgeous for a flash gm and not only that but the elements seen in the backgrounds are various shout outs to many science fictional movies the range from the 40's, 50's and the 60's. Music is also a nice little tune to get you int some stellar mood. I really have enjoyed this game. I'm going to bestow you a 3 in a half out of 5. And a 3/5 in voting power. I hope you keep creating and contributing here. I've hoped you've enjoyed this review. Good day.
