[Mobile Weapon]

One of the best RPG´s I´ve ever seen

Graphics: I really liked the 3d effects. It made everything look very good and different from most other RPG´s. The characters were nicely drawn too.

Sounds: Well, the main battle theme wasn´t bad, but it gave me a headache after a while. The boss battle theme was very nice however, and all the backgroundsongs for the areas were great too.

Interactivity: Loved the save option, it was a good idea to add that. It was also nice that you can equip your MAW´s with so many items. But I didn´t really get what the energy recharge rate did which you got from the generators. Thought it made your EP go up faster beside giving you extra CAP, but I didn´t notice much improvement at all when I switched my steam generator for a dynamo.

Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. One of the best RPG´s I´ve ever seen here. I already liked Mobile Weapon Zero a lot, but this one was even a lot better. I really can´t wait till the second part comes out. Keep up the excellent work.

[Legend of Zelda Quiz]

Needs more questions and a better lay-out

You should´ve made it way longer. You´ve made only 12 questions for three Zelda games. There are quizes here that have 40 questions about only one. I´m sure it´s not that hard to think of some more, theres so much you can ask about. The diffeculity of the quiz was good though. The OoT and MM questions were no problem for me, but I had quite some trouble with the TP questions.

Anyway, perpaps you can also add some pictures and stuff to make it look better. Just some text, a few buttons and a black background didn´t looked that impressive. The buttons also moved when you answered and were not placed straight below eachother.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5. It was an okay quiz in my opinion, I´ve seen better. Please just make the quiz a lot longer and take another look at the lay-out. I would especially like to see some more twilight princess questions. There´s no-one who made a quiz about TP yet as far as I know.

[Swords and Sandals 2]

Better then the first

I enjoyed this one a lot more then the first. I think this one had a couple of things that were missing in the first version. Like tournaments, magic and I especially liked that there was a bit more of a story here.

The first tournament was really hard however. And you absolutely have to go there after only 3 or 4 battles. I probably had the highest amount of armor, the best possible weapon and was able to kill the first two opponents. But the arenachampion was really too strong for me. It kinda sucked that he uses a poisoned weapon. I´ve been trying a couple of times now and it´s starting to get annoying. So could you please either make the battle a bit easier, or let us have a few more battles (gain a few more levels) before the tournament?

It would also be nice if there was some battlemusic playing during the fights or maybe crowd noises. It was a bit quiet during the fights in my opinion.

Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5. Much better then the first, and hopefully there will be even better versions after this one. Keep up the excellent work.

[Mario in space]

Nicely made, but it got annoying after a while

Seen games like this before; This was deffinatly not the best version. The game is not badly made, but it just got boring and annoying after a while. In the beginning it´s okay, you get plenty of space to move and land. Later I got closed in, sandwiched etc. even when I just started. I was especially annoyed when a rock suddenly came from under the platform while I was just busy landing softly and that happened pretty often.

There also doesn´t seem to be an end to this game. You can just try over and over again, watching your success rate go down along the way. In my opinion it would be better if you actually added levels, and made it so that there are no rocks when you begin and only let all the rocks fly in from the side of the screen.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 10. I thought the graphics were pretty good (only Mario could look a little better) and I like the song, but that´s about it. It was fun in the beginning, but became very annoying later on. Perhaps you should also add a few more enemies like aliens or something.

[Deflector]

Nice game, but I got stuck

A pretty good game, never really seen anything like it before. The graphics were pretty good, I especially liked how the base was made with those thingies circeling around it. The sounds were also pretty good, although the music got a little boring after a while. There were a few other bad things as well.

When I died and wanted to continue again, I kept the same score and there were no lives or anything. So you could get an incredibly high score by just destroying a few spaceships and then letting yourself die. I think you should either add some lives, or make us start over again, or let the score go back to where it was when you started that level. Another bad thing was that you switched between upgrades when you hitted another one. This was a bit annoying in my opinion since I only wanted to keep the spreadshot. If you could just have all three of them at the same time, it would´ve been a lot better. The last bad thing was that I was stuck at level 7. There was a spaceship with shields at the left top corner, and when I deflected his shots it took so long that the enemy was already back into his shield when the rock(?) got there. The only way I could win was by deflecting a few of his shots again and again till one hitted him right when he opened his shields. But this was just too hard, could you please turn that guy into a normal spaceship?

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. A pretty good game like I said, but too bad I couldn´t get further after the seventh level. Hope you can change it a little. Anyway, congrats with your daily third and keep up the good work.

freeworldgroup responds:

yeah we might alter the scoring a bit, so you lose points if you continue... The level 7 spaceship can be killed - just make sure you draw the deflector line right next to the boarder of the space station circle to reduce flight time.

[Lord Of The Rings Quiz]

Average

Not a bad quiz, but could´ve been better. The diffeculity was good though, I´ve seen all the movies at least twice and I had quite a lot of trouble with the questions. I believe one of the questions was wrong by the way. "Who breaks the staff of Gandalf?", thought that was the Balrog, since Gandalf has a new staff when he returns in the forest after the fight with the Balrog. You said it was the wizard king, but he doesn´t even meet the wizard king in the movie. Perhaps its different in the book, but it would be nice then if you told us whether this is about the book or the movie before.

The lay-out of the quiz was not that special. Just a pic on the right and some text on the left. You could try to put a little bit more work in that. I also think the last part of the quiz, with the pics was a little bit weird. It was pretty obvious in every pic, except the one with the city. And I think you should choose some different music. Not that I dislike this song, but it doesn´t really suit a quiz game. Would be better if you added a more relaxing song in my opinion.

Overall 5 out of 10, 2 out of 5. Not a bad quiz like I said, but it could use a lot more work. Try to make a better lay-out, add a different song and maybe add a few more questions.

[Go.]

Enjoyed it

Really enjoyed this one. Especially liked the backgrounds and the music, the tricks looked good as well. Also nice that it got a highscore list, got the second score in easy mode (and 5th, 7th, 9th and a few times around 20) hehe =) Too bad I couldn´t submit my score on medium mode. I just got a black screen with snow falling when I pressed submit. Nothing happened, but I could still press submit again and the screen turned back to normal. Perhaps you could take a look at this.

Anyway, the final score seems to depend a lot on the final battle. If you just try to make that one as long as possible, you can easily gather another 13,000 points or so. And the cookies were really worthless, only 5 points or something. Just doing a trick for one millisecond is worth more. They´re probably just there to guide you, but perhaps you can make them more valuable. The rings also did not gave that many points.

What annoyed me a little was that the ice falling from the ceiling could hurt you even when you already passed it. I always speeded up a little when the ice was falling, and sometimes I was very sure I was safe, but I still lost a life. Maybe you could check this out as well.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. I enjoyed it like I said. But I think it was a bit short, you can easily beat this game within 2 minutes. It would be nice if you added a few more areas and maybe add another boss. Anyway, still congrats with the award and keep up the good work.

[Pick Money]

Could play this for hours

I could play this game for hours without getting bored. You constantly have to find ways out and it´s pretty fast paced making it lots of fun. The graphics were pretty good, and I also liked the backgroundmusic a lot.

I only didn´t get why there was a level meter in this. I really didn´t noticed that the game got harder or anything. I only saw I got some points for every level, but it seems a bit unnecessary to me this way. It would be better if the game started slowly and goes faster after some levels. Also, I think it would be nice if you could jump a little, like just enough to grab some diamonds above you if you skipped that platform. And so that you could also reach a little further. I was stuck on one side sometimes, cause all platforms went to the other side.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. I´m still going for the highest score, my personal high score was 11,940 which is currently fifth place, hehe =) Hope I can beat it. Anyway, I would really like to see some more of these, keep up the good work.

[Dragon Wizard]

Cool

A pretty good game. The graphics were very nice, I really liked the flapping of the dragons wings and how they stopped when you didn´t moved. I also liked the look of most of the spells. The sounds were also good. I didn´t liked some of the music, but luckily I could switch to another song of I wanted to.

A bad part was that sometimes the whole screen was filled with enemies, arrows and rocks attacking you and you really couldn´t avoid being hit anymore. This costed me all my lives at the beginning. Later I bought the water spells which healed me enough to keep me going until the windy level (level 7 I think it was) and then I died, so the game was very hard. I can´t imagine it´s possible to reach level 13, especially not if the game get´s harder with each level. It would be better if there were less enemies on the screen at the same time. Also the levels were pretty long, I wouldn´t mind if they were shorter and that there are more levels in total. And one last thing: Perhaps you should add "already purchased" in the upgrade screen at stuff you´ve bought already. I know I could check this myself, but it´s just much nicer.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Well I did enjoyed it, even though it was very hard. I wouldn´t mind seeing more of these, keep up the great work.

[Aquacubes]

I liked it

I have never really seen a game like this before, but I liked it. It was nice and simple. It did required some thinking sometimes and it was quite challenging, cause the game starts to get harder pretty soon. The graphics were pretty good too, and I liked the music that was playing at the background.

There were not many bad parts in this game. Only one thing: When the fuel bar is full, the level ends immediatly while I was still halfway in a big combo. This annoyed me a little, since I could´ve had a lot more points in the end. Please just let the game finish it´s combo before you go to the next level. As for improvements: It would be nice if there were more special items in it. The only thing I saw were a few bombs that came in every once in a while and they were not that usefull.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. It was a good game, although I couldn´t get any further then level 6 =) Anyway, I hope you´ll make some more of these, keep up the good work.
