[Don't Escape 2]

this must have been horrendously complex to design.

[Hermit the sluggish caterpillar of the sea]

I like it but my main complaint would be that some deaths are unfair.

[RowRow]

"each shape represent the number above"

bam. before the game even starts, bad english. and now i know i'm about to play a bad game.

i see no reason to use shapes instead of numbers. other than to artificially inflate the difficulty of the game.

dragging is cumbersome. often times it won't drag or it drags two spaces over when i only wanted it to drag once.

it's idiotic that i'll click a segment to drag it and then after i start movement it immediately realigns so that it's translational center is my mouse location. so that makes segments blast off slightly when they start moving.

ugh this is just too bad to continue.

you get a zero and i'm thoroughly uninterested in seeing any improvements.

[Charly Garcia´s Epic Jump]

hmm.... whatever.

[Delver]

incoherent design.

fuel flies down rapidly even with all but last upgrade in it. don't know what the last upgrade does for it. i just know that i was so disappointed in how NOT empowering the fuel upgrades were that i lost any incentive to play.

but i will go play motherload. cuz this reminded me of the genre. and motherload actually knew how to do it properly.

Template88 responds:

Contrary to what you may think, the fuel upgrades are balanced out to match the depth of the game. You'll find it difficult/impossible to beat the game without upgrading. The fuel levels are pretty significantly spaced, so if you didnt feel a difference, perhaps it was because you were running out of money staying up near the surface? I think you prefer a slower paced version of digging game to this, the fuel runs out faster in this game because the game is much shorter than motherload 8V.

[Night Strike Infiltrators]

top notch. investigation initiated into anyone who rated below 3

Wolod responds:

Well, what can I say? Thanks :)

[Nymphiad]

underrated imo. i've submitted a report to investigate people who rated it low.

Wolod responds:

Thanks for your support.

[Mumphy (Quest for Banana)]

i would say the biggest problem with this game is it is way too blatant a ripoff of mario. every mechanic works exactly the same and the art style is a complete ripoff.

you even copied mechanics that are universally considered terrible. like lives/game over/etc.

[Gragyriss, Captor of Princesses]

I was excited when I saw this here with a Jan 20 upload date....

and yet you added nothing. Really a huge disappointment. You already got my high score on kong. Adding zero is what you get.

edit: alright I'll update to a 3.5 because it actually is a sick game. but damnit i hope that sequel doesn't take too long!

SnowRoadGames responds:

We are working on the sequel, okay?

[Escape Fate]

good. some parts were a bit pixel hunty. but this is one of your older works so that's forgivable since you've improved quite a bit in that regard.
