[Bouncy Jump]

As a starting point, okay

It seems you have the ability to make a good game - you've implemented an interesting mechanism (reminds me of the jumping in Gish). However, you've jumped the gun and clicked 'upload' too early, there is just no way that this is a finished game.

Take this as a starting point, and get back to the drawing board!

Komix responds:

Well, I know that this isnt a game so far. I just wanted to get some reviews. Maybe even some fans. I ll make more of that engine, later. Thanks for looking at it.

What a honor to be compared to Gish ^^

[F-16 Steel Fighter Zero]

Bit too simple

The game play, or what there is of it, is well executed. However, there is not enough to keep the player entertained. Create some different challenges.
Also, I will reiterate has been said in previous reviews. The explosions are way too much; as soon as the player kills a plane too close, or gets hit by an enemy, they are left flying blind - which just isn't fun.
On the plus side, it looks nice - and what has been made plays solidly.

[Museys Coin catch 2]

Okay for 5 mins

You have a fun game here, for the first level or two, however (as is so often the case), it quickly becomes repetitive.
The graphics are well done, and the choons are good -however you should look into the looping on some of them.
In all, simple fun.

[Thicker then Water]

Eh?

This is really too bug riddled to be given many points.
A game that starts by telling you that 'undefined' has a headcount of 'NaN' ain't good, and you seem to play the same level every time.
The gameplay isn't much to mention either.
Please fix the bugs!

CKF responds:

fixed

[Bomb Disposal Hippos]

Great!

The gameplay is completely faithful to the original! (mindless button bashing)
Bit easy to beat the comp players, but i suppose i shouldn't play on my own like a loser...
I'M A LOSER! IT'S TRUE! *sob*
ehm, sorry....
Great game

blobbostuff responds:

thanks a lot for the review!


lol

[Projectile tank]

Nice

Cool game, fairly original
The AI is good, those choppers are damn tricky to hit!
However, a lot of the challenge comes from how slow the turret moves, this could be tweaked, and it should become more playable

[RoadCarnage]

A new age in roadkill

Great game!
Fun game - as everyone else has said, it would be even better with more levels/ options - as it stands it's pretty short.
Also the movement of the car is pretty unrealistic, not too bad with some time to get used to it - but the handling could be improved (slides/hadbrake turns over pedestrians ... :D)
Yeah - and work on the graphics a bit.
...so far - so fun!

[Maze (with a twist)]

As above

Just like everyone else said - it's a good start but...
FIX THE COLLISIONS

Bieng able to go through walls isn't on, and having the maze reset if you happen to brush against a wall isn't nice - maybe just put the player back in a valid place?

Like you said, a simple collision test won't work, you'll have to look up a line intersection algorithm so that frmerate / speed of motion won't affect it.

Fix the bugs and resubmit, this could turn out very well

[The Brick Game]

Fun, but a bit too basic

Nice rendition of a classic, but it could have been better featured

Different shaped levels, some bonuses....
and the score should DEFO carry over from the last level!

+ Brilliant sound, loved the stereo FX

Cool.
