"Nice concept at first, but bored by the 4th level"

submission: In Another Chateau

date: October 9, 2009

Subject says it all. Visually lovely, and a good concept too, but I just couldn't be bothered to go any further beyond the 5th level as I felt I had seen it all. I'm sure I hadn't, but at the rate new features were being introduced I couldn't be bothered to wait any longer to find out. Seeing how far up the goal was and knowing I had to build a giant tower to it just put me off totally.

Score: 9

"Good fun, if you've got the time"

submission: Eridani RTS

date: September 4, 2009

I really enjoyed this - it wasted a good half an hour of my lunch break today. It's quite slow going at first, but once you get into it there is a fun little RTS game lurking in here. I got at far as taking over 4 sectors, and would have gone further but ran out of time. Not sure if it saves my progress locally or not, but if it does then I'll play it again later. If not then I probably won't bother.

Score: 10

"Awesomeness"

submission: Heat Rush

date: September 1, 2009

This is easily the best game of this under-represented genre in Flash. Not many other games have tried the full-on Outrun style approach, but this one pulls it off with aplomb. Great track selection too.

Score: 9

"Sweet game missing only the thrust"

submission: cronusX

date: August 13, 2009

Lovely graphics. Rock solid execution. Nice menu system and it plays well. But I agree with others who say that removing the inertia / momentum that the original has makes removed a little of its soul too. The thrust was important as it meant you could continue blasting something, while moving, without thinking about moving (the asteroids "drift kill" ability). Sorry but I miss it too :)

Score: 9

"Good fun"

submission: Wallace & Gromit: Top Bun

date: December 12, 2008

I like it - nice graphics, funny audio. Game is addictive, but maybe a bit girly :)

Score: 7

"Cute and fun for the first few levels"

submission: Ma-Ku - The Rain Cloud

date: November 8, 2008

First up the visuals in this game are lovely. They fit really well and are nicely animated. The sound also fits perfectly. Good attention to detail in the menu and other in-game elements.

The core idea behind the game is simple but effective. A good mix of strategy is required to get through the levels. My only comments would be that even with the power-ups there was little incentive for me to play beyond level 3 as the core game didn't appear to change much (just more flowers and bugs). Also there was quite a bit of slow-down as more filters were applied to the visuals, at one point it was lagging quite a bit, but once the effects had worn off it sped up again. Very nice game though, great stuff for 3 weeks work.

Score: 10

"Excellent!"

submission: Jerry and The Closet

date: October 22, 2008

Brilliant animation quality, great voice acting, funny and great plot :)

"Show me a better Flash pinball game?"

submission: Law of the West Pinball

date: July 29, 2008

This is great, certainly one of the best (if not THE best) Flash pinball game made. Ignore the idiots who say "go play Windows pinball and learn something", this is a great example of arcade pinball. I'm not a massive fan of the horizontal scrolling, and there is a bit of a lack of things to do on the table, but it's all good fun anyway.

Score: 7

"Entertaining remake"

submission: Law of the West

date: May 20, 2008

If you enjoyed the original Westbank game then this is a great remake of it. It's much easier to play with the keyboard than the mouse, and for the first few days is extremely easy - but it soon hots up, and surprises you how easy it is to accidentally shoot a customer instead of a robber. A few interface issues and a repetitive nature stop this from being a truly great game, but it's not bad by any means.
