"Well, this is obviously better than a rubbish game"

But really, it feels only average.

The first minigame is decent, but done too many times before. I recommend adding some more features and things to it.

Second was fun, just too short. However, I could see it getting pretty bored if any longer.

The third minigame was rubbish. I can see how this would be fun, but it's simply too hard. Making it easier would improve it.

Score: 6

"Alright."

First of all, the graphics were fantastic. The programming is also flawless.

However:
-The gameplay is not well explained. I was clueless about darklings and fairies and ruins until I actually encountered one.
-This game is far too similar to platforming games if've encountered in the past, without adding anything unique.
-There is far too much mindless wandering in this game.

Score: 7

"Meh..."

submission: How to Raise a Dragon

Too much of this game is based around the fact that you want to play it over and over again.

However, as for the gameplay itself, this is well made and teeming with creativity.

Score: 5

"Bleh."

Pretty boring gameplay. All of the difficulty in this game is based around timing jumps.

It would be a lot better with less jumping and some sort of other gameplay contraption.

Score: 4

"Hmm..."

submission: Coil

date: July 14, 2009

The biggest problem with this game is its concept.

Even from the start, the game amazes you with ridiculously confusing gameplay. First of all, very few people expect that rolling the mouse around the "coil" (circle in the middle of the screen) will advance. People are so used to waiting for the advance to happen instead of trying to prompt it that they sit there and become annoyed when it never does.

The first level is a bit of a waste of my time. Anybody with even minor sexual education can guess the goal. The second is somewhat entertaining. Afterwards, the third is enjoyable, but too painful on the hand. The fourth is too confusing and boring to do once figured out. Fifth is boring, not only is it obvious but it's mindless. And the sixth has no clear goal.

If you really want to make a game like this, improve the gameplay. Make it more puzzling, in the right ways, and make it more entertaining. Although the music fits perfectly (however, I would like to be able turn it off) and the graphics are superb, this game needs to be more enjoyable.

Score: 8

"ROFL."

submission: Science!

That was pretty funny, but isn't really a music video.

In a music video, the video accompanies the music (most of the focus is on the music). However, in this, the music accompanies the video, and there is a larger focus on the video.

I'm not saying that's wrong, it just isn't a music video: more of a video with background music. So, I was unprepared for the content, which distracted me from the video for a few moments. But, that aside, the actual content was perfect for a video with background music. It was animated nicely and the storyline itself was entertaining. The music was appropriate, just not the focus.

Score: 3

"Blah."

submission: !Hungry Blocks!

Needs more features and originality. Anyone could make a game like this with decent programming skills.

It's very easy to master and with the lack of a high score board, it gets boring almost instantly.

Score: 5

"Sorry..."

submission: Sparks and Dust

date: June 26, 2009

But the game simply won't play. It loads, and the graphics look great, but it doesn't really get to any kind of menu.

Please, make it start up. And if it already does, make it start up significantly faster.

Score: 8

"Could be longer."

Good game. The challenges were rewarding and not too difficult. The graphics and storyline was also good. I would just like it if it was a little longer.

Score: 6

"Fine."

submission: A Norse in the 9th Ward

date: June 23, 2009

Hilarious enough to watch, but really, it's the same racial joke being used over and over again. Also, ending was confusing.
