Great idea

Belive it or not, I had an idea to do soemthing like this, a DDR/Fighter mix, but I couldnt figure out a good way to do it. What you made was pretty good, but all it really was is a DDR game with an animation of a fight scene behind it. I thought about it for a long time anf couldnt figure out how to mix the two very different styles and have it work, having a little bit of each genre. Have you ever seen a game like this before? I'm curious if you have, PM me if so.

[Project Validus: Survival]

Awesome game!

I love top down shooters, and the great graphics and zombies are a big plus of course! One thing I would have changed is make the bullet travel all along the line from you to your mouse, hitting te first thing in its path, not only hitting just where you click. Check out a game called Crimson Land, its a great (non-flash) top down shooter. But awesome game, cant wait to play more!

I remember crimsonland from back in the day, although it's probably up to version ten million by now haha.

Yeah I experimented with some line testing code that an aquaintance sent me, but I figured having to take distance into account when aiming (like it is now) is a good substitute for the vertical axis needed in real-life aiming that is removed by the top down perspective.
But yeah in future line hittesting bullets will probably be the go, it's cooler :)

Would have been great

Almost perfect, but the game is too hard for me (Yea, I know, waah waah) but if there was some kind of optional difficulty selector where you can just put it on easy mode if you suck, it would be alot more fun. as it is, I cant last more then 20 or 30 seconds. It's alot liek one of my favorite (non-flash) games, crimson land, check it out if you haven't played it.

ZT responds:

Sure, I'll give it a google. Thanks for playing, sorry about the difficulty! :)

[Cosmic Crush]

Could be alot better, but really good now anyway

Its a really great game, but theres something with the hit testing that I die against big planets when there like 50 pixels away, not even close to touching. Because of that, its pretty much unplayable. Besides that, its a bit laggy, but not too much so. try to fi the hit test and I'd love it.

[Soap Bubble II]

Great! Loved the first

I loved the first one, so glad you make a new one. I'm sure you know about the bug in the first one where you could pause and kill all your momentum. Thats the only reason I managed to beat the first one, I wish you left it in on this one. Anyway. Loved the game, graphs were great. make more (and put the pause cheat back in, i suck at this game, but love it.) <3

[Year of the Snake]

Great, Great game

This deserves a much better score. Very cool, very stylish. a great game. The animation is wonderfull, and the sword swipe lighting effect was totally amazing. Good job, hope to see more.

[Pixel Blaster]

My god... best game...

That was crazy, may arm is hurting me. Got to wave 59 before I died. This would be great for like, XBox Live arcade. Great Game.

[Plant Man]

not bad

I think better graphics, and a smaller game board( meaning, like, zoomed in) would help alot.

[Batter Up!]

Really neat

I liked this, very origonal. Great job.

[Color Commander]

One of the best flash games I can remember.

I had more fun, and spent more time playing this game then any other I can remember. Great Job.

I was going to say that I didnt like the fact that once I got up to, maybe, level 30, I all I had to do was shoot off the strongest guy and I cant loose... but I ended up losing, so I guess it was ok, maybe have something to change it up a bit, like have some units that have special atributes so you wouldnt just use the strongest guy over and over.

Great game though
