[Madness tutorial]

I liked the song.

Way to use the Imperial March Rage Mix... or was that the Leviathan Mix? Oh well, good song choice. Decent tutorial.

[Robots Attack]

Woohoo!

Score was 2674 on Level 4. Man, that was hard. The only reason I died is because I couldn't see my mouse cursor going outside of the flash when I clicked to fire. :P That's one of the only things I hate about mouse-driven games, is when you click outside of the window and die becuse you can't click back fast enough to dodge fire. :(

I did notice one bug. After I died, and had gotten a special charge, when I restarted, I was shooting the special charge at the very beginning of the level without having gotten anything. Might wanna check that out. =) Good job though!

GameBalance responds:

Yeah thanks! I know about this "Bug" :)
I think it's good thing.

[Lord Of The Stars 1.4]

I liked the game.... BUT...

I liked it. I spent four hours playing it. At the end of the game, when I defeated Staruman, all I got was his little death cry, and an assload of useless stars. Then the screen just sat there for a while. Nothing happened, and then the credits rolled. I was upset that I didn't get a cool closing cinematic or anything. Fix that, and it'll be cool.

Total Stars Collected: 3315
Final Character Level: 10
Your Rank: Evasionist

ArneTheTurtle responds:

I'm sorry we didn't have a more extensive ending cinematic. I applaud you for reaching level ten and collecting as many stars as you did! I hope that you enjoyed the game despite the ending. Congrats again, and thank you for the review. We'll invest in an ending cinema next time.

Please fix the collission detection.

In the later levels of this game, the ball acts like it has a square bounding box. So when the hittest action script detects a hit on the corner of the ball's rectangular box, it makes you die, when you should not die. Please make the bounding box for the ball a circle if you can. Also, read my comment on the n00b edition of this game. There are similar problems that I discuss there as well. It is a good idea for a game, and it will be a good game, _IF_ you fix the glitches. =)

GAMECUBICLE responds:

i tried to put a hitzone in the circle, but then all the script would work on the hitzone, not on the ball, so it would become unplayable

[Rainbowsphere: N.E]

Good game, but too buggy for me.

On the "Escape" level, you should make it so that no matter where the main character hits the little red and blue dots, the character gets the extra bounce. Having the little dots pop when you hit them from the side or from a diagonal corner just makes the game TOO difficult. Fix that bug with the bounding box of the ball too. The hittest feature sometimes causes you to lose a life when you land on a solid gray platform that has a different colored platform beneath it. The bounding box of the character should not be a square if it is, it should be a circular ball. Fix that, and this will be a great game. Without that, it is simply too difficult for people to beat. I know some have probably beaten it, but it probably took a lot of lives and times playing the game through to do it. I simply do not have that time on my hands to try and put up with a glitchy game. ^_^ Fix it man, and I'll love it. Good job though!

GAMECUBICLE responds:

I tried making a hitbox in the ball, but all the script that was meant for the ball would then work on the hitbox, and this making the game unplayable

[METROID: Genesis]

Good job

I caught a spelling error in your tutorial though. It says:

"When you are attacked by an enemy, you're helth bar"

It should be "Your" and "health" ;) Excellent otherwise my friend!

The-EXP responds:

yeah, thats meant to be like that... i swear it... your retarded :p (intentional)

[Hobbit Rampage]

I fifened!

This is excellent. One of the best Lord of the Rings-themed games that I have ever seen! Not roo bat nor bunny nor orc nor red dragon can withstand the awesome might of my FRYPAN OF DOOM!!!!

Great job my friend. Great job!

[Millionaire: LOTR Vol. 2]

Once again... I am a geek.

I got all of the questions right on the first try... again ;) I am REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY looking forward to seeing your Western Movie! The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is one of my favorite westerns of all time!!!!!! I loved how you used The Ecstacy of Gold in the trailer! Awesome friggin song man!!!! HURRY UP AND GET IT DONE!!!!! I will make it my favorite of all-time! woohoo! Good luck man, and speedy finishings!!!

Corey responds:

I love the Ecstacy of Gold, too, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was actually what inspired me to start the Western Movie. Unforunately, I gave up on that movie, just like most of my other movies. But if you want to see the beginning, go here: http://img380.imageshack.us/my.php?image=western1tv.swf

[Millionaire: LOTR Edition]

First time I played it, I got all of the questions right. That just shows you how much of a geek I trully am. ^_^

[Indian Outlaw]

Magnificence

My friend... I did not know that bears would explode if they were shot with an uzi. Awesomeness. This reminds me of the many years and many hundreds of dollars I lost in the arcade at the bowling alley playing games similar to this. This is just awesome. Awesomeness. I almost made it to the end of the route, but after the third time playing through, my nerves just can't take it anymore. Excellent. Excellence. This deserves to be feature of the day, and at the top of the portal for a long, long time. :D
