[Dragonfire: The Lost Soul]

I hope you'll improve this game

It had a promising title for sure and the idea was pretty good. I liked the idea of making it in 3D, but you deffinatly need to improve the graphics. The demons looked weird, the main character himself didn't looked very good and you should use more colors than orange and brown. Make it look more like a forest, give the trees some leaves and give us the idea that we are walking on grass or in the mud. It was also hard to see when you could hit an enemy and when not. Sometimes the enemy stood a couple of meters from me, but when I swinged my sword, I killed him. Because of this it's also hard to see which enemy hits you and the game became pretty hard, even at level 1. That was it for the graphics, now I have to say, the music was good. Maybe you should add some more sounds, sounds when you walk, sounds when you hit a demon with your sword etc. That will make the game a little better. Well I deffinatly hope you'll improve this game, it's a great idea like I already said. Good luck with improving it.

Scross responds:

there are sounds for both your suggestions...(message to the dude) and please don't criticise the death noise lol, just give me another one somehow (message to everyone)

[Cursor Thief: Amped]

Pretty addictive

This is quite an addictive game and pretty funny too. It had some bad things however, like the graphics. They could be a bit better, at least put a different background in it because this one was a bit boring. The game could also use some sounds and some nice backgroundmusic, this also made the game a bit boring. Maybe some more powerups will make the game a little better too like something that makes the thief run slower and something that can make you lift the ball for a short while. And one last thing, if the thief teleported it was almost impossible avoiding being caught, please remove that or make it a bit easier to get away. Overall it's still a nice, addictive game. Keep it up and good luck with your next submission.

Cartmack responds:

There is a way to get round him from getting you when he teleports. One way is to move the mouse around fast. The other way is to....:) And it works 100% of the time.

[Battle - Lord of the Ring]

Awesome

Now this was one good game. It deffinatly had some nice backgroundmusic. The graphics were very nice too, good job. I liked it, that you can save and load your game. Very handy, now I don't have to start over and over again. Now some bad things about this. The menu screen looked a bit like the one from Demonic Defence, dunno if this happened accidently or on purpose.
The battling system was very slow, it took quite a while before I finally finished a battle. And the last thing, it would be nice if there were more characters available. I could only pick gandalf here, please add Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Frodo and maybe even some less important people like Boromir, Faramir, Gollum and maybe Arwen. Overall it was still an awesome game, I really liked it, 8 out of 10. Keep up the good work.

EviLudy responds:

There's a little lag.
And about the characters, well, I was too lazy ^^

[POPS!]

Didn't really liked it

I didn't really liked playing this game. First of all, it needs better sounds and it deffinatly needs some better backgroundmusic. I think the current backgroundmusic is a little boring. Second, it needs some better graphics. The graphics also became a bit shocky when more popcorn was falling, know what I mean? Third, the screen which explained everything should be a bit more clear. I didn't really know which color of popcorn did what. This is about it, 4 out of 10, I hope you'll improve all this stuff. Good luck with your next submission.

DragonSnare responds:

yep thx for the review I'll look at that on the next game

[Viridarium Berry Catch v2]

Pretty hard, but I liked it

Say, this was a pretty nice game. I liked the graphics, they were pretty well drawn. The backgroundmusic was also pretty nice. The game was pretty hard, the time you had was not very long. I couldn't get past level 4 actually. The fact that you lose five berries when you caught a black one made the game even harder. The game also gets a little boring after a while, I dunno what you could do against that, maybe some extra little things. Like you see a monkey dropping the berries from the tree and some more stuff you can catch. Like something that slows or even freezes time for a short while, something that makes your basket bigger and something that makes the berries fall slower. These are just some little ideas that may make the game even better. Anyway overall I think you all did a nice job, 7 out of 10. Good luck with your next version, if your gonna make one.

Vector88 responds:

Thanks for the suggestions, all things taken into consideration, esp suggestions :)

[Rampage: NY Demo]

That was pretty good

This game was pretty good, some things I liked, other things I didn't. The good things: The menu screen looked really nice, graphics were pretty good and the sounds were pretty good as well. The things that could be better: I could barely hear backgroundmusic (I'm not even sure if there was any) while playing the game. It was a bit annoying that it took a while before you can shoot again, it was a bit hard to destroy buildings because of this. And the last thing, there should be some better explosions in a game like this. Overall I think it's still a pretty nice game, good luck with your next submission.

TrueDarkness responds:

Thanks. I know what you mean about all the downsides though. The full version will have much better stuff and more things. I will make a lil bit faster reload time and definatly left and right movement. Thanks for the review.

[The Apartment V.2]

Improved deffinatly

It has deffinatly improved from the last time. I still think you should make the other figures defend themselves, but if it's reall too diffecult nevermind than. I dunno why there isn't any elevator in it anymore, putting the elevator in was not a bad idea in my opinion. One that it still needs is something like levels, restarting the game and doing the same the whole time gets a little boring.

Say I was thinking maybe you could make some kind of puzzelgame, you know. You have to kick things on the lowest floor so that something on the 2nd floor happens. Than you have to do something on the second floor so that something on the upper floor happens and so on. At the end a door will open and you'll proceed to the next level.

Well anyway the game deffinatly improved like I said, good luck with the third version (if your gonna make one)

dcp2k4 responds:

ive already started on the third theres 5 levels and theres kinda i puzzle aspect to it because u have to find the door to go on to the next level theres the hardest part is modeling all that crap in 3d. i took the elevator out cuz the sequence was too long and annoying plus it caused alot of actionscript problems and as for the bad guys defending themselves im gonna try hard to get that in their concidering thats the biggest aspect ppl want in the game
