[Generic Defense Game]

Not bad

It was very fun, dont get me wrong, I played till day 21 on the first game. I have a few beefs with that game type and a few more over all.

The Turrets seem to start off the level working well, but as the level moves on, the turrets seem to get "stupider". They're reaction time slows down (turning to the next enemy) and it doesnt shoot at the enemy as much making them near useless after a few minutes.

I probably would ahve liked it better if it wasnt random game,s but if they all worked together in one story or something where some days your in a turret and some days your on foot.

Its a very well made game, the items might be a bit to expensive, but other then that, I enjoyed it alot.

Great game

I enjoyed it alot, great job

[Azul Baronis]

too hard...

I couldnt get past level 4, maybe make an easy mode or something. Is it possible to spawn into the big circle ships? Also, you should be able to start as a destroyer. I read what you said about pushing the end button or something, had no idea what you were talking about. Great game though, I liked it.

AndrewMartin responds:

The End key on your keyboard, below the Home key & next to the Delete key...

Possibly not if you're on a mac? I have no idea whether there's an End key on macs =|

Very nice, best i nthe contest so far.

I'm a big Guitar Hero fan, I liekd this alot, having two sets of three keys, and having them placed some what appart added a neat dynamic in the game play, having to look back and forth trying to get it right.

I had a few gripes: on a song, there was no way to pause, restart, go back to the menu, those are vital options ofr GH and are for this. Also, a retry option in the score screen after a song would have been nice. OVer all, good good job.

[Spectrum]

pretty cool.

Good job getting it all automatic, rather then having to sit there and manually write the notecharts for each song, But I thought it didnt work quite right for me. Maybe because there was too many tracks, I ended up just moving my mouse around randomly without any strategy. I liked it though, and cant wait to see what other games come out of this contest.

Great Job

I spent about 2 hours trying to beat the final battle between convict and the three jerks. I literally cant do it. Great job

[The Last Stand.]

The perfect flash game!

I played this game for over an hour and a half, which is BY FAR, the longest I ever played a flash game. I played through once, and noticed that the weapon meter was still going up, so I figured maybe there was one more weapon that wasnt on the wall, so I played through again and got that final gun. Awesome, amazing game.

Some ideas: interuptable reload. Sometimes, I would shoot the last shot jsut as soemthing ran out, then I would have to wait to reload before shooting. If I could switch guns in the middle of the reload animation (which would cancel the reload), it would be more realistic.

Also, what abotu a survival mode where more and more zombies come, faster and faster, and you get to pick which gun to start with, maybe some other unlockables or survival game types, liek Infinite ammo, one shot kill, or some other weapons, I'd love to see some explosives!

Great job. Again, this is the perfect flash game!

Good idea, bad hittesting

The hit testing was almost unplayably bad. If it came close to the stick, it counted as a kill, which, in the bouncing ball level, means automatic loss. I'd fix the hit test, and then maybe put a HP bar on al lthe game modes, not just the first one

[Top Figures]

Great, but needs ONE THING top be perfect

This game needs a free play mods in the wirst way. I dont care about what my score is, this was a fun game and I wanted to exparament and be able to play all the different puzzels, or maybe even make my own. I have it a 6 out of 10 because the way it is now with three lives makes it nearly un playable for me, only being able to get a few levels in before having to start over (And replay those first few basic levels overand over. Would have been a perfect 10 if tere was a free play mode, but really, it was a great game, jsut should have that freeplay mode to be perfect.

[Overhead: persistence]

Cool game

I'm not so great at these kinds of games, I tried this one a few times and died, but then the real game for me was trying to figure out how to cheat it, heh. Normaly with these games, you can cheat it by moving your mose quickly, "jumping" over the wall. Some times, you can move your mouse off the side of the flash movie, and back on at another location, often enough, you can right click, and then move over the walls, then right click back where you want to go. None of these worked, so I guess you won! I also tried to press the "start" button without clicking on it (tab, enter) but you stoped that too.

Good job!
