[Celebrity Wedgie Toss]

Nice Job!

I dig it. The celeb heads give it a very Jib Jab feel, which cracks me up.

[Z-Rox]

Very Original

It's always nice to see an original concept come through. I happen to love games like this that make you "think outside the box" (sorry for the corporate lingo). But even if this wasn't my type of game, I would have been able to appreciate the originality of it. Very nice work.

[Shrubbery.]

I really enjoyed it

Very original concept. Nice work.

[Hexiom]

Excellent

This is a really clever game...lots of fun. Nice work.

[Pinch Hitter 2 Full Game]

I love this game

My on ly criticism is that it's way too hard. I almost got past 7, but haven't yet. I can only assume it gets progressively harder. I love a challenge, but I think this is a bit too difficult as to border on frustrating. Very nice clean game though.

[Rocket Run]

Not bad

The controls take a little getting used to, but I think that's ok. It's a little frustrating to have to start all the way over just for one little bump. I'd consider revising this with a health meter or at least checkpoints. Secondly, the sound levels are all too high. Listen to some music on your computer at a comfortable volume to get a baseline and go from there. With the rocket sound effect playing so frequently, it should be much softer...and to a lesser extent the stars, but those need to be a bit quieter too. It's a decent game though. Nice work.

[Bloons]

Excellent concept

I loved your game...pretty much played it all the way through. The only comments I'd have would be to make the PacMan guy easier to control (he was a bit buggy) and tweak the coding of the bouncers a little bit...sometimes the darts travel through them if they're going to fast (I understand why but there's a way to fix it). You might also update the graphics. But honestly, this is one of the most original concepts to come through the portal in a while. Nice work!

[Froggeh]

Waaaay too hard

I love the graphics upgrade you gave this classic. It had a soft hazy look which was nice. But it's just too hard. Being that it's no more than a copy (rather than a new twist) of the original, the fact that it's almost impossible will have people clicking the x in about 20 seconds. Work on the speed of your vehicles. Other than that, nice work.

Thanks for the nice review! You have to move around quickly but it can be beaten quite easily!

[Dual Thrust]

Not too bad

I actually like the idea of having the two thrusters; it adds a certain level of mental difficulty. There are enough lunar lander clones out there. However, you need to make the gravity and inertia a little weaker and I think you'd have a pretty fun game. With each of these variables a little weaker, you can have more intricate levels. As is right now, you need too much time to decelerate, accelerate or change directions. Nice work though. And I love the retro graphics and sounds, by the way.

[Hearts 1.1]

Fantastic

The best games are simple in concept but tough to master. You can pick this up and within a few seconds the concept and gameplay is obvious. It's intuitive and fun but more importantly it varies enough during gameplay that is continues to be challenging in different ways. Truly excellent work!
