[Knightmare Tower]

Man I love this game ..... this is just such an awesome game I don't even know what else to add .. it has it all and it's polished beyond belief. AMAZING WORK .... I love this title!

[Trailor Simulator]

This is not a game. This is not even a project that should be on here in my opinion. Utter nonsense. Then it just blacks out and plays really loud music ....

No progression handling, menu system or even sense to this project. 0 / 5.

TrailerSimulator responds:

Hello,
The team here understands that. But this is a game that's been made by students in 3 days for a challenge. We thought you should know that.
Anyway, we hope you appreciate at least the humour :)

[Don't wake the cat]

Ok so ... first thoughts .... "I guess you're not meant to reach level 6" ..... when you says the balancing isn't perfected I think that was the understatement of the year. It goes from easy, hmm yeah, to oh ehm what .... then the WTF?!?!?! Haha.

Nice tower defence concept. Assets are not exactly polished but I guess you're no animator :) The game mechanics work exactly as intended though. So for that I have decided to rate this as 2.5 / 5.

The game itself (as in all tower defence games) is nice to play and fun. The game is severely unbalanced and needs correcting before I could really rate this properly but given the authors programming background (and empathising with that slightly) I have to give this a 2.5 just for the fact that it works, it's playable and although not aesthetically pleasing ..... it does what it says on the tin.

Well played fella.

[Attack Of The Beaver]

Didn't take me long to rate this game. I didn't like it personally but it warrants a bit more information than that. Again another very basic game with two objectives cut logs that come at you and dodge trees that randomly spawn or you fall apart into several pieces (which I'm not sure why, but oh well).

Music is eerie and a little irritating but the graphics have been prepped well. The playability is as simple as space to chop and left and right to dodge the spawning trees. I mean there is no other objective than that :S

Very small, not my kind of game but hats off to the developer for completing the mini project.

1/5.

[Take the cake!]

Well what can I say about this. I don't know whether the author has the hots for his teacher or not but way to geek romance her buddy. I don't know if it warrants a serious review or not but I'll keep this quick and simple.

Quirky, cute music, however annoying that the writing at the start has no background colour so you can read the white writing clearly. When you actually click into the game instead of giving tyhe user some time to adjust or maybe click to start when you can actually see the level is a BIG no no and a game breaker for me. It's so frustrating when you have to read that start message so many times because your mouse moves before you even see the path that you must follow.

I think it's a cute idea for a game but I never did like the physical version of this game so I guess I'm biased when I say I don't really like the game personally. The best part about this game is the music.

Well done lad for creating what I assume is your first game, and I hope you grow old and marry that hottie teacher or yours but as for the game review .... I have to say it's a 1/5 for me.

I gave you a 1 just for the effort you've put into the game and the fact that you've completed the game itself (which most people never bother to do).

[Penalty Shooters]

So played this for a little while. It's insane how addictive penalty shootout games are. As far as the gameplay goes, it's addictive. The controls are simple and are pointed out before every turn which helps those with a touch of amnesia :)

The graphics are simple and bland but sufficient for the game as the gem is hidden in the playability and addictiveness of this game. Smooth, simple algorithm for the shooting / goalkeeping. The UI is simple and fresh and granted this is just a simple small game it doesn't detract from the games playability and fun element.

I did notice that the crowd seemed to cheer if you missed .... not sure if that's intentional or not but something I thought I'd point out while I was writing this review.

Overall, fresh UI, very simple in the graphics department but the games overall addictiveness and playability led me to score this 2.5 / 5.

Well done.

saledren responds:

Hi, thanks for the review. The crowd cheers when you miss if you are the guest in the match - it's that simple :)

[DynaDan 2]

Well the game itself was very difficult to test due to the sound loop bugs in the game. They got real irritating real fast. Loops were not cancelled upon death and basically played all on top of each other so after 30 seconds it became a bombardment of noise and nonsense.

The game graphics are average and the handling and level design (what I saw of it) is ok. The music is less than desirable for my tastes as it's rap music of some sort.

I would say an overall 1/5 for this game. Has been thought out however it's not bug free and I don't think it's as polished as it should be but that is only my personal opinion.

sampearce8 responds:

Yeah I'm working on that. I believe that most of it is happening because of the sound issue.
