[Game & Watch: Dodgeman]

Very familiar....

I think there's a Game and Watch game almost exactly like this. Helmet or something like that. Gameplay is exactly the same. Just the graphics are different. Check that one out.
Very good, though.

Holmfry responds:

Haha, it's so true. Funny story - I never actually played Helmet until after I'd made the original Dodgeman.. when I first saw helmet, I was like "whoa. it's dodgeman." Perhaps that was part of my inspiration for making this.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[Tehpivot's Explosive tut.]

You're very knowledgable about this, good work.

One thing, though. Change the color. Dark red is not very legible. Other than that, this did everything expected of it. ...Actually, though, maybe a tutorial is the wrong word for this. It's more of just a how to. Tutorials let you try it out yourself, something that is obviously impossible with this. But that's just me being overly smart lol

Very nice other than color. 9/10

Tehpivot responds:

yeah, that usually is the response I get. But I have one of those super-uber-bright monitors so it wasn't a problem for me.

[Snake Evade]

Dude. This needs instructions.

I was able to figure this out fine, but it needs to have instructions. Someone will eventually come along who is a complete nimrod, and won't know what to do.
That aside...this was a nice take on the classic Snake game. I liked the turret blasting aspect of it.
Nice work, just add instructions, please.

[Zelda: Links Backyard]

Good, obvious improvements over your last beta.

I can tell you've been working hard at this, you've got a lot more of the classic zelda mechanics going. Even the "pick up the items with your sword" one is good. Fantastic gameplay, I look forward to seeing how this progresses. Keep me informed :)
And please leave Toad in! He's too funny.

[The Dragon and the Wizard]

Great! But one thing.

This was great! This is possibly the best story-difference game I've seen come out of this account! The artwork was gorgeous, and the "alternate scenes" were cool too. My only thing was, as you've probably heard, the distortions around the differences. It made it so I didn't even have to try to see the differences in some cases.
Barring that, though, great job!

[The Aimless Game]

eh.

there's too many glitches. I like that you address them in game, but it would be a better idea to fix them.

Aidmun responds:

I have tried to fix them but to be honest im not excatly a flash wizkid and i just got so frustrated at trying to fix somthing with no help (which i asked for so many times)

[Bumper Boat Battle]

cool!

I liked the controls, simple, easy to learn. The game is simple and difficult at the same time. Nice.

[Ashlee Dance]

lol nice.

well done, there. You officially succeeded in making Ashlee Simpson look like the most retarded person on the planet. <^_^> I love it! Though some of the stuff was a bit uncalled for, I wasn't expecting the puke.

[Comic-Con 2008 Poster]

very nice!

I like the style, the poses for everything, it just seems to all mesh. Very well done!

[Escape the Blaze]

Nice, but one complaint.

I thought this was a great game! But there is one major flaw. As the ball melts, it drifts upward ever so slightly. I haven't checked all the levels, but it happened on the narrow passageway level about 15 or so in (hopefully you know what I'm talking about. This kind of takes away from gameplay...other than that, great! 4/5

blindbaker49 responds:

Funny, I noticed this too but never got around to fixing it... It drifts up? I can fix that.
