[weeblmixer]

Cool

There not really much use for this type of mixer, and the buttons on the right hand side didn't do much for me. The beat that the mix made was very enjoyable, and it was pretty cool.

Mixers are an acquired taste, and it wasn't a taste for me, though I'm sure others will love it.

[Office Chair Freestyle]

Not very good

This is one of those games that has its good points, but is very rough, and to be blunt there is a lot of work that can be done on it. The points system was nice, and the graphics were okay, as was the animation.

I would have liked some background music added in, and perhaps the most important thing would have been for the height to note what your height was at that time, rather than the peak. At the same time, the controls were overly simple, as all you could do was use one button.

It's decent as a game to get the hang of making flash games, but it's nothing I would go out of my way to play again.

[Super Mario Crossover]

Obviously, amazing

In a way, there's not much to critique. All the level look just like the original, just like they're supposed too, and everything controls the same way as well. As a result everything works flawlessly. I love the character selection, especially adding in Ryu in the expansion.

If I had any flaws to complain about, it would probably be many of the projectiles that the characters use go right above the heads of most of the enemies. Some may say it's challenging, I think it's a little cheap way to make it harder. Nonetheless, amazing work.

[Japanophilia]

hehe

This is a simple game, certainly. The pixelated characters was a nice touch, and the music, graphics, etc. all fit well together. It's simultaneously easy due to the simplicity yet hard if you're trying to get a really high school. That being said, this is one of those game that I felt could have been expanded and more could have been done with it. It was fun, but because it's just the one mode there's little replay value.

[Recoil 1.3]

Good, but..

My problem with the game is a similar one to what others have said. The wall jump is extremely tricky to pull off, not because of anything natural, but because of the control scheme. You have to press it before hitting the wall, but then it's just as easy to not let the recoil hit the wall. Changing it to a separate button would have made this much better to play with, since it's still an addictive and challenging game, just make annoying with that issue.

[Tower of Heaven]

Amazing

The premise of this platform game is fairly simple, getting to the top of the tower. Moving around all the obstacles and rules though makes the game a lot more challenging, but not overly so. The music is absolutely amazing and fits perfectly with the color scheme and the adventure. I just keep playing this.

[Preparing for the SAT .1b]

Ugh

My main problem with this is that it says it's example questions to help with the SATs, but in reality half of them are joke answers, and the tips don't really tell you anything. The font is really small, and at the same time the introduction with the shifting font actually hurt my eyes a bit. The worst part is it doesn't tell you whether the answer you picked is right or not.

[Furby Assassin->Aditude]

Pretty bad

I can see some areas that are good, such as the different options. Really though, all this was was a couple clicks and the movement of some pictures taken from the internet. The binary numbers floating around and the ion cannon I think hurt this flash more than it helped it, because it just ended up being distracting from the furbies, which is what the flash is about.

[Furby Killfest]

Simple yet fun

There isn't much to this game; simply aim the mouse and click to kill off the furbies. Nonetheless this was able to hold me attention. The music was catchy, the effects weren't too bad, and the furbies weren't too easy or too hard to hit. That being said, I would have liked to see more options, maybe another background or another type of gun. Or maybe a flamethrower.

[The Puzzle Game]

Great

I remember playing this when I was a kid, and you've captured the essence of it perfectly. Using the Mastermind series in the game of course makes perfect sense, and everything looks really well done and works smoothly. Adding in the hard more makes it more fun as well. Easy game to win, but nearly impossible to win in 3 or 4 tries.
