[Folds -- Origami Game]

Amazingly awesome! Very creative making an origami game, first one I've ever seen. Controls are simple but very solid. I love the way the paper folds, very realistic. The only con I could think of is that I can't think of any. Great work man, keep it up!

[Reconstruction 2.0]

I like the concept a lot, seems really fun to play with, but I feel that this game lacks a few flaws that can not be over looked. They are all minor flaws, more or less, but it is the combination of them that makes them so bad. Firstly, the game was rather laggy. I discovered this very quickly before the game even started, when I was clicking through the opening menus. I have seen that this problem has been brought up and that you are looking into a solution, so I find the lag a little bit forgivable. My second complaint is that I could only place one unit of anything at a time. Meaning that when I wanted to build a wall, I had to click the wall button on the right side of the screen to place every section. I also had problems with getting the game to even place the pieces I wanted to place. I had to click the wall button and then the place on the map I wanted it to go about 5 times on more than one occasion for it to do anything.

All of this being said, I really think this game has a lot of potential. As I said before, the flaws that I noticed are minor, but all of them put together kinda brings down the experience a little bit. I would love to play this game at full speed if the lag issue can be fixed though.

[Just Politics]

Was good but I would have liked to see some variety. Maybe have the "money stealing" levels between decision screens. For example; You are posed with the choice of cutting taxes in one area or another, then the money stealing, then you have to do an interview, then the money stealing, etc.

Other than that I liked it. Would have liked more laws, though. I would like to see a sequel, but only if you are going to put more into it than you did this (in terms of content not time and labor, which seem to be pretty good as is). Graphics were good and I like the idea, really good political satire, but variety would have been nice.

Thanks for the review.

Yeah there are lots of ways we could expand the game even more, as a sequel or updates. We'll see then.

[Internet Avenger]

Awesome game. A lot of people do not seem to get it, but I love it. Was weird killing Google Chrome though since that is the browser I use the most, 2nd being FireFox. Love the HQ for both of those by the way. Also, I love the graphics, lol. I have to say, if the graphics were better I would be less forgiving for the two points that brought my rating down to 4 stars. Speaking of...

The only 2 complaints I have is that I wish it was a little longer. It seemed like the areas leading to the boss areas got a little bigger each level, but I would have liked to see better scaling in terms of that. The 2nd complaint I have is that it did get a little too repetitive. Changing up the ground each level would have been nice (i.e. have platforms that fall/break when you land on them so you have to move faster across those ones and possibly add new elements like moving platforms or something, basically some kind of extra variety would have been welcomed).

Other than that, I loved this game. Great job man.

[Climber]

Fun game. It is simple but still fun.

Pros:
-Great job on making the ladders generate randomly, helps keep it from getting repetitive whenever you have to start over.
-I like the little blue ball guys that fall down, they seem to generate in a pretty balanced way

Cons:
-Would have liked a life system, maybe allow two or three hits before you die
-I played until I died a few times and once or twice I died and had to refresh the page because when the game prompted me to hit ENTER to restart I would press, for example, the left arrow once and the sprite would jump right continuously until he jumped off the far ladder, might be something to look into

Other than that, I liked it. A life system or some kind of pick up system would have put it over the top into a 4.5 or 5 star rating though. Good work.

[Community College Sim]

I will be honest, judging by the name, I fully expected this to be nothing more than a short distraction when I clicked the thumbnail. Now, having played through twice, I have to say I love this game.

The humor is very likable and I thought helped bring replay value to it (since there seems to be slightly different commentary based on class) and I enjoy the funny little epilogue sequences at the end. I also like the balancing your social life and your education (or just all out sacrificing one in favor of the other).

The only complaint I would have is the lack of options. My first play through I clicked on as many people as possible and did as much as possible for the first few days until I realized I can just go to class or talk to the one girl in the lounge. Once I figured this out it got very repetitive since the other options were not as helpful. So I guess my complaint is really more that I would have liked to see the energy consuming options balanced a little bit better.

Other than that one complaint it was a great game and one I'm sure I will keep playing for a little while. Great job. Sequel maybe?

[Interlocked]

Amazingly epic in its awesomeness

Amazing. The pace in which the difficulty rises is pretty nice. The game play is nearly flawless. Everything about this game was just awesome. I found it a little difficult to move on the axis I wanted to at times, but very rarely. I highly look forward to a follow up.

[Dadgame]

Awesome game!

I've played a great many games on the internet and this one will forever stick out in my mind. The only qualm I have with the game is the length; I wanted more! Also, the controls are a little touchy. It is hard to get Dad to stop once he starts moving which makes it easy to fall off edges and to your death and also makes it hard to get Dad in the spot that you want him in sometimes. Great game none the less and I thank you for sharing it with the world.
