This sounds cool, but it never goes past the opening screen with the advert.

AMAmedia responds:

Please refresh .. sorry for this

[Roll3D]

Whenever I open a level it immediately says that I have completed the level and prompts me to submit to Mochi.

NoseKills responds:

Thanks for the repost. gotta try to reproduce and fix :/

[Clutch Burn]

I can't seem to get the car to move at all.

myplayyard responds:

Did you wait for the green light?

[Achromatized]

This is really fun. Though the jumps are a bit fiddly. It seems like you keep moving to the left/right after you've let go of the key. It'd be a great game if the controls were better. I have to admit that having to use the arrow keys kind of sucks. I'd much rather use WASD or be able to assign my own keys.

NoLanLabs responds:

Fiddly. I like that word.

[Mabel and the Alphamites]

The site lock is broken so it won't play.

joelesler responds:

Yeah sorry. I'm just fixing that now.

You can tell a lot of effort went into this game. I'd say this is hands down the most innovative rhythm game I've seen since the first Guitar Hero. The tutorial was perfect. It showed you everything you need to know and moved quickly enough that you didn't feel bored. It's very tricky with a mouse. I imagine it's unbelievably fun on a touch screen or phone. I'm going to have to dig out my Wacom and give it a try with that.

ZEGMAN responds:

Thanks a lot! I played on my tablet and it's actually really fun. I also think it would be great on a tablet or mobile device, but we'll see about that :D

[Palisade Guardian 3 Beta4]

It's a good game. But it gets repetitive about a third of the way through. The weapons still aren't quite right. The shotgun either needs a big boost in it's power, clip size or reload time. As it stands it's kind of a useless weapon due to the small clip size and lengthy reload. I think a chain/Gatling gun would be a good final weapon.

You should also include the controls in the Author Comments/Description. I couldn't find it in game. I've played quite a few games since the last version of this was released, so I can't remember the controls like the scope. I eventually figured out the that the scope is space. But I couldn't find the grenades. I'm always heavily in favor of dev's putting a concise overview of the controls in the description of the game. It makes game play better when you know what you're doing. And as an added benefit, if you're in the middle of a stage you can look at the description without having to find the keys in the menu of the game.

ErebosGames responds:

Thanks for the detailed feedback, it's very helpful. We'll make the controls more clear in-game for the next update.

[The Gravity Gadget]

Nice mechanics. It'd be cool to see you make a game that integrates this.

Daench responds:

I was thinking of maybe doing something with a hot air balloon...

[Dark Night Sky]

I really like the graphics. The game play is fun. I like the you give the user the option to choose how difficult they want the game to be. I found the tutorial to be too slow. Rather than having to wait for each bubble I think it'd be better if you set it up so that you could just click to continue to the next bubble. Or at least allow the user to exit the tutorial if it's too slow for them. I ended up refreshing the page so I could start the game. The game play is so straightforward that it wasn't a big deal at all.

The only reason this game isn't 5 stars is that the grammatical errors make it feel a bit on the unpolished side. If you got a writer/editor to proofread the text it would have been a 5.

Satyre responds:

Tutorial is skipable by key pressing now.

There is a home button on the right lower corner for the tutorial. I collected many reports that the tutorial is very slow. I will change it in the next update :)

Thanks for the really high rating and the suggestions.

[Firefight]

This is a great game. I love the music. You used the cello very well. The only improvements I can think of is it'd be better if you could manually save as opposed to having to wait for the game to hit it's auto-save point. And it'd be nice if the med kits were cheaper.

Torrunt responds:

It saves whenever you open the Shop (SPACE) as well as when at the end of the of a day. Should be able to see the like "Saved...." message on the left side when you open it.

Med-kits are quite cheap at the beginning, you won't need level 3 in Med-kits until later where it get's harder.
