[The Depths]

I'm never going to like these brawlers. The ambiguous role of "depth" makes for an annoying experience.

Depth when your depth is actually "width=0" just feels wrong and off.

Doesn't mean I can't see how solid this is though.

I won't give a less-than-deserved score just because I don't like the genre.

Great art/sound/design. Pretty much good looking and feeling everything.

[Control X/V]

ok i'll just run down my impressions as i play

-the jump sound effect sounds so horrible and clashes with the art style so harshly that it basically ruined the game for me right at the start
-the non smoothness of the cut/paste box when moving it around with click held down
-the ugly slide-ish animation of the character walking around
-the lack of any auditory feedback that the player has initiated a second jump is an oversight but almost a welcome one given the disgusting jump noise

forget this. not worth the time.

MiscEtc responds:

I found your response a bit rude, but I appreciate the feedback anyway.

[Epic Boss Fighter]

really fun. only complaint was that robot doesn't fire down center of cursor

[Ditto]

great game. nitrome's best work. against a body of work that is already incredible.

[Space Crash Saga]

bite sized and fun

[CookieClickerJam2014]

I would have given this a 3 for being a crappy clone

But since favoritefavorites gave it a 5 to counteract the honest rating, I'm going to give it a 0.

This is a crappy buggy clone of cookie clicker.

And just because the author says so in the notes doesn't change a thing about it.

[Install_D]

this feels very fresh. vector graphics and a tron-ish theme really drive it home.

[ALZ]

this is just flappy bird without the bird or pipes and forcing you to move to the right with the arrow key instead of automatically. and forcing you to hit space to interact with objects instead of flapping.

why is this obvious clone/ripoff allowed?

dylan responds:

and I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids

[The Last Door - Chapter 3]

Last Door Chapters ranked from bet to worst:

2, 3, 1, 4

note: 4 was still good. just not as good as the prior 3. it was very short and not particularly impactful.

[Defend your king]

upgrades system is literally the dumbest thing i've ever seen.
