An idea to polish

I like the idea, but, as said in the author comments, this game will lag a lot, which is unfortunate, which makes finishing the third level impossible.

Obviously, the thing to improve would be the lag. Try calibrating it. Many games with "pretty paper"(full of debris) use it. Like this, the game runs at a very high framerate, and is forced to skip frames if performance is going down. It will look like lag, but all it will be doing is to try to preserve speed.

Physics could also work, sort of like the one in the Ball Revamped series.

4/5, improvement please.

Kwing responds:

The third level is easily possible. You just need to be very careful.

[Pimon]

I (somewhat) enjoyed it

I've seen these kind of games before, so I was a little bored with the game. Maybe spice it up a bit. Add distractions! Make it deceptive! Anything that will make the game harder will help.

1/5, it will need to be harder

mikeedla responds:

not a bad idea, I'll think about some ideas.

[NG level/exp calculator]

I'll need this in the future(and now, too.)

Great idea! Some things that didn't work out for me was the level 60 icon. Your Flash had trouble loading one. Also, you can be level 6, but right in the middle of getting to level 7, so the calculator will be a little inaccurate. If users could get to type in their numbers, it would be much more precise.

5/5

andy70707 responds:

The level 60 icon is a problem with the server, not this flash. Try copying the URL for the level 60 icon into the browser, that won't work either. I suppose I hadn't thought about the EXP thing, although people remember what level they are, not the exact so and this was designed to be easy to use.

[PongOut 2]

Remids me of CoolioDJ.

Awesome. My suggestion for the third is to have both games share space. The pong ball would go though the bricks and the breakout ball disregards the pong paddles. Anyway, it was fun and addicting.

5/5

Ab9003 responds:

Hmm, I was thinking of maybe having Pong-Pong and Break-Break where you'd play only one of the games in two different screens for the next one. I'll think about what you said though, thanks!

[NG review generator]

Is a semi-naked woman needed?

It was good, but I don't see the point of a near-nude woman on the side.

Soulbeer responds:

It would be boring without her ^_^

[Basic Mouse Puzzle 3]

More casual than other avoider games

I like that casuality in the game. Other games like this would just piss me off, but the music and simple graphics in yours makes it great for relaxed playing. There is a thing though: people are able to cheat with a right-click rather than pressing ALT. There shouldn't be a cheat option, if you ask me. That just makes the game boring. That's why you lost 2 on my review.
3/5

Logico responds:

thanks for your review.
"There is a thing though: people are able to cheat with a right-click rather than pressing ALT. " - that would just be stupid, right click brings up your real mouse and it starts looking ugly, plus, ALT is faster and easier to use, why would anyone use RMB?! anyway, I get it, no cheaters should be allowed!

[AS Basics Tutorial]

I think you need to fix up your own AS

For some reason, the back/next arrows don't work. Didn't really go far into the thing anyway.

heofacker responds:

They are not buttons. Press the left/right key in your keyboard.

[Cursor Testing]

Interesting...

It's a neat little idea, but I discovered that the superman and the actual cursor was off a bit. Still, pretty nice, add sounds, denser code and you have yourself a game!

iNimiNi responds:

Yeah thanks!1

[Red is Bad]

Somewhat addicting, still good

That was a good game. It's still a little flat, though, so my suggestion to you is to add some music(we have an audio portal here!), add more powerups, and crazy game twists(balls come from every side). The game is too easy, try adding more red balls.

C360 responds:

I might add my own music! I created all the sound effects from synths I have, even the game over sound. You're right the game is too easy, it needs to progress differently.

[Black 2 White]

Good enough.

Some better graphics would work. Also, the button for the moves are a little hard to see. Try top-down view next time. Still good to play!!

ComRad01 responds:

Thanks i will try that next time
