"Needs more content"

submission: Blosics

date: December 20, 2009

I enjoyed this game. I like simple, physics-based challenges. I didn't find it all that hard though, and definitely wish there were more levels. Games like these generally have 30-50 levels, with new features being added along the way. I see from your "author comments" that's exactly what the next version will bring, so that's awesome.

One thing you might want to change is when the NEXT button appears. I personally think it'd work better if the game waited until ALL blocks stopped moving before displaying the button. As it is now, it's possible to knock over a pile of both red and green blocks, and hit NEXT before they finish falling off the screen, even though you'd fail the level at the end of the turn. Maybe include an Easy and Hard mode option in the next game, where Easy works like this version and Hard works like I described?

Looking forward to the next release!

"Song is stuck in my head!"

submission: Shoe- "Egg"

date: December 6, 2009

Since hearing this a few days ago I've had this song stuck in my head. I went to the site to check out the band, Little Bird is good song too. Wasn't such a big fan of Holiday. But anyway, I really enjoyed this video. The timing was spot on with the music, and I've always been a fan of the "trippy" art style. Not a perfect 10, only because the art seemed a bit oversimplified at times. That's not a criticism though since I know much of it was intentional. Nicely done, I'd love to see another!

"Inappropriate content"

submission: Vete a la Versh 11

date: October 27, 2009

The animation was well done, there was some humor to it, and overall I'd have enjoyed it. Except for the part with the animal raping a little girl.

You can delete this review again if you like. While it's true that this is far from the most offensive thing that's been posted on NG, it should NOT be rated appropriate for teens.

Score: 9

"Not so much a "game", but a nice interactive piece"

submission: Colour My World

date: October 18, 2009

I enjoyed this flash. As an interactive art piece, it has subtle use of color, a gradual shift in message from negative to positive, and a simple but distinct art style. It might have done better as a flash movie however. I can imagine one in which the protagonist travels through various terrain, interacting with the environment to bring color and life to it along his way. But for that same reason, I wouldn't call this a good "game". Yes, the "player" interacts with the environment to allow the protagonist to continue, but the protagonist himself rarely does (aside from using platforms, etc). Maybe it's meant to be symbolic, that the actual human player should look for and create color and life in an otherwise drab existence, and the true journey is your own, not the stick-man's. Maybe I'm reading into it too much and it was never really meant to play as a "game" at all.

Either way, nicely done.

"Not bad"

submission: umbross

date: October 18, 2009

There was a glitch on the second to last screen, with the white logo of a person sitting cross-legged. When I jumped onto the spring, I fell through it and wasn't able to progress.

Score: 9

"Simple, fun"

submission: lint

date: September 30, 2009

I enjoyed playing through this. The only screen I thought was particularly difficult was the one early on, where you can either jump over the springs (to avoid being bounced into spikes) or take the higher route and double jump over/between the sets of spikes. The music and simple color scheme worked well to create atmosphere. 9 of 10, only because it felt a little TOO basic.. something was missing, but I can't put my finger on it.

Score: 3

"Familiar characters, not much else..."

submission: Madness 3D Combat

date: September 26, 2009

This is a Madness game in the same way that the Street Fighter skin pack made Wolfenstein a Street Fighter game. That is to say, it isn't one. Only one single weapon, one area with no progression to another, none of the game's trademarks (Red sky? Nevada desert? Psycho Clown?). It's a fun exercise in a three-dimensional shooter platform, but little else. At the bare minimum, you'd need enemies with weapons, which you could then use. That's the very basic element of the Madness series.

Score: 10

"Mind Fcku"

submission: Time Fcuk

date: September 20, 2009

This game was pretty neat. Moderately difficult puzzles with an interesting gameplay dynamic (multiple dimensions FTW) combined with a somewhat "wacky" plot makes for an interesting experience. It would have been nice to have some music other than the funeral dirge, but that's ok. I actually found it more difficult to get the bad ending than the good ending.. couldn't figure out what to do, and then got it by accident. All in all, it was a fun playthrough. I'm a big fan of other McMillen games (Meatboy, Spewer), and look forward to the next.

"Nice video"

submission: Please Don't Mute Me!

date: August 9, 2009

The animation was pretty good. I enjoyed the song a lot though, it reminded me of Four Tet, although it was a bit more structured than their stuff tends to be. I'd listen to more by this artist, and considering that was the point of this flash it's safe to say you met your goal.
