[CAZE]

-too slow

-hate that i had to use WASD and couldn't use arrow keys. in a one-handed game, arrow keys are preferable

-inappropriate music

-music way too loud. if i lower my speaker volume even one millimeter, they're silent. at the minimum to hear the music it's loud as hell

-most importantly: a completely uninspired and boring concept.

-graphics.. there basically are none.. and not in a charmingly minimalist way.

CjElliott responds:

-Looking at your medals you are still on the controls tutorial of the levels, the game gets faster and a lot more challenging on the later levels.
-Use Space bar to speed up the game for the first few levels if needed.
- Arrow keys are supported, simply press the keys.

-Sorry that the music is too loud, you are the first person to state this, I will look into it.

-Sorry that you don't like my idea, most others seem to enjoy it.

Thanks for reviewing my game :D

[Acorn Story]

This was really nice.

Didn't overstay its welcome. Art 10/10. Music 10/10. Sound effects 10/10. Difficulty 4/10

[Rumble in the Soup]

The missions are extremely bugged.

For example, the 7th mission in level 1 has me complete level without using grenade.

I had to do it three times before it counted it as completed.

The 8th mission was "without greed" which I'm yet to get credit for. Trying attempt two now.

Just fought boss and I wasn't even on the screen and unable to move into screen or anything. Boss wasn't hitting me. Nothing was happening really.

So... as much fun as I was having with this, it's time to move on.

Game breaking bugs earn a 0.

[Wizurd]

I got 107.. and submitted high score and I don't see myself on the high score list.

Window is too small. I don't like the lack of mobility and how small the room is.

The music is a bit jarring without a bass track

HenrikSahlin responds:

Your score did get submitted, just look again it is there.

[Don't Escape 3]

I fucking love scriptwelder's shit.

This was yet another truly great game.

[Abstract Dungeon]

Terrible. No sound. No positive player feedback. No feedback loop.

Game crashed immediately on the second level. I have an intellectually superior computer and use Chrome. It was your daft programming.

The concept is uninteresting and uninspired.

I wasn't even able to click any of the bottom buttons when level two began it's crashed existence.

[The Company of Copperhill]

It just didn't grab me. The art was great. The sound seemed fine. The music was good.

Combat was nice and simple, a nice change from the tedious combat of other games in this genre.

But I'm just not attracted to clicking through lots of exposition.

The best stories are told implicitly. I think using lots of dialog is lazy and breaks immersion.

People don't understand that theme is far more important than story.

I think obectively I can give this a 4, despite what to me were shortcomings, the quality of the game was higher than my experience.

Hyptosis responds:

Thanks!

[The Towers of Annoy]

Really stupid that you can't use the arrow keys.

Huge and ridiculous oversight. Would be way more comfortable.

[Defend US! 2]

Survival crashed on wave 33

Art was just ok.

Music was good.

Interface was really solid. No annoying extra clicking.

One major thing is that towers need to look more distinctive when upgraded. It can make it annoying upgrading tons of towers not knowing which ones are at which level.

They differ slightly, visually, but not enough.

Probably too easy for hardcores, but when it comes to tower defense games, I prefer them to be easy.
