[PongOut: AE]

mathematical variance equivelant

if you keep track of the mathematical variance equivelant between horizontal and vertical movements you'll notice it follows a deterministic pattern.

basically the first derivative of activity here is not random.

change that and the game could have more depth.

Ab9003 responds:

First of all, you give no reason why you gave this game such a poor rating.
Second of all, your suggesting I make the physics of my game random? Trying to sound smart doesn't make you right.

freeze ray

whatever you do, do NOT buy the freeze ray.

it does terrible damage.. and you can't turn it off. if you buy it you are guaranteed to lose in the later levels.

also.. the gun builds up heat when u try to shoot.. EVEN if your heat is too high to fire a bullet.. this is utterly retarded.

[Tree Troopers]

i'm confused

wait a sec.. when you're going through the tutorial.. there's no back button? i'm confused.. seriously? you didn't put one? or am i not seeing it.

like.. say you have that problem where your mouse double clicks when you single click occasionally.. (very annoying and very common problem)

or say you just accidentally clicked too fast or wanted to go back to read something again w/e

i mean seriouslY? no back button? like.. am i misinterpreting the interface? no back button at all? seriously? none?

i'm forced to refresh the entire applet.. cuz of one click? seriously?

illogical controls

The controls were illogical.

Should have been left/right/up arrows for movement and jumping and C or Z to switch characters.

There was no need for a "follow" button.

Having Z and C be controls made it so you often hit the wrong key.

DAIRYDOG responds:

3 keys

3 fucking keys

+ up arrow key being jump is irreversibly gay

[Stoneage Assassin:Revenge]

rife with problems

1. you force quality to low each level.

2. on the first couple levels it was obvious what to do. nail the guy with the red ribbon.

3. on the 3rd level i kept killing the three red ribboned guys and then i'd fail the mission for some reason. no one wants to read the long story/narration you've got going on so if the mission isn't obvious, please put some simple instructions.

4. kind of lame how it cuts to the same scene each time when you kill someone. why not let them actually die on the battlefield. i'd like to see the results of my work. not just some cheap repeated cutscene.

1/10 for almost decent graphics

[CrackShot!]

reached 13,000

i reached 13,086.

13k should be the victory condition. 11k can be reached without even trying.

[Type It II]

uhm no

my browser crashes when i click "words" in the game-modes selection screen.

i use firefox and have no malware of any kind.

my computer is more than capable of running this. i assure you i have a far better and more powerful system than the author of this flash and i would assume it ran fine on his computer.

[Magi Wars]

excuse me?

uhm.. excuse me? can't mute or turn down the music?

excuse me?

[SAS: Zombie Assault]

absolutely horrible

i'm sorry this is just an absolutely terrible game.

the way you can't move when a zombie touches you is retardedly ridiculous and the difficulty is way too high.

even on normal it's hard as hell to get to the machine gun.

[Sin Mark]

well well well

i equipped my fire runes or w/e to give me fire arrows.. then it was like "equip spells"? but i had no spells. so i figured this meant my arrows were fire now.

they weren't.

i instantly closed the bad game. i'm not here to play a poorly designed game.

following this, i voted it 0 and rated it 0. i then wrote this review and it made me feel a lot better about myself. :)
