[Perfect Shot Sniper Game]

Doesn't work

I get a blank white screen for over a minute, no preloader. If I right click and hit play, it shows a preloader for a split second, then goes to a title screen but there's nothing I can interact with.

[Assault Typing]

Okay but has problems

For instance, whenever an enemy word switches to a three letter word instead of a four letter word, it won't let me shoot it down. Also where on earth did you get your wordlist? These words are silly... what on earth are para and liri?

[The Neurotest]

You forgot the most important part of a game...

Fun!

Where's the fun in what essentially amounts to a game of simon?

VNStudios responds:

It's just a simple game and it was our first so we still have lots to learn.

[Life Ark 3]

What just happened?

The puzzles didn't make any sense and the majority of the game just devolved into clicking on random stuff until you happened to hit just the right thing.

[Popopop 2]

Too reflex-driven

Fun game, but I don't like it when I'm playing a strategy game and I'm limited by my reflexes. If I know how to solve the level, the challenge shouldn't be in actually *doing* it. I'm looking at you, Level 26.

[Medieval Escape]

Meh

The third riddle is outright ridiculous -- there's no reasonable way someone could come up with the answer. The real test of an answer is whether you say "ah" when you hear the answer. With this there wasn't an "ah" moment; instead, it was just kind of a letdown.

[-Brain Train-]

Boring

It seems like you put a fair amount of work and design into this, but the problem is that at a basic level the games you present us with just aren't any fun. Counting the electricity bolts that go into a box? Where did you get such an idea?

[The Infection]

I got stuck

I got stuck off the right side of the screen on level 9.

[Aldo & The Magical Pizza]

Buggy

1. Surely it isn't necessary to make the user press spacebar to leave the house he's in. It doesn't really seem all that important that he press it to get in, either -- why can't it just work the same way as it does when he walks off the side of the screen and shows up on the next one?

2. The sign that says "Bald Guy's House" got stuck on the screen and I couldn't make it go away no matter what I did.

3. It's sometimes hard to hit the little arrow on the conversation boxes. It'd be better to let the user page through the conversations using the space bar.

4. While we're on conversations, it's possible to get several conversation windows up simultaneously, and then have to very carefully navigate them.

5. When I got stuck (couldn't move) I right clicked and hit "play," which gave me some extra items and put me in a random house.

[Toss the Turtle]

Medals don't all work

The addicted, abducted, golden shell, and worldsedge medals don't ever seem to show up on my account, even though I've earned them in the game -- some repeatedly!

Other than that it's a fun little game, although it gets a little dull once you start going past a few miles out -- there's not much to do at that point.
