[Ultimate Chess]

fun

I like chess and this makes it a bit more fun. Sometimes the animations seem slow but it's not too much of a problem. I always like to see chess games with with moving pieces that kill eachother. I always wanted to play that chess game they play in star wars and even though Harry Potter is a gay movie, the chess looks bad ass.

One problem I found is the stalemate execution, I killed off all of the black pieces then allowed his king to kill all of my pieces until it was just the two kings. I moved around 30 times with just my king and him and I didn't get the stalemate. In real chess I should have actually got it after a few moves when he only had his king left.

[I wanna be the flash game]

awesome

Very fun game, very addictive with a "WTF!" twist to it. I wish there was more to the scenery though, it looks very bland and boring.

Now, I agree that the game is harder than most flash game out but there is a difference between skill testing hard and pure luck. I really think you need to fix the jumping just a little bit because it seems to be the major flaw. Even with lots of skill, when you have to use something designed to fail, skill doesn't really matter. It's clear you made the jumping difficult on purpose and that's okay but some of the slipping, getting stuck and not being able to jump at all is just plain unfair. I think you should have focused on making challenging levels where you need precision jumping instead of making levels with relatively easy jumps but making us use a broken jumping system. Do you see what I'm saying? Imagine playing Mario and it was just a flat ground with a flag 10 blocks from the start. There is one goomba between you and the flag but you can't jump. No matter how good you are, you cannot jump over that goomba and you are doomed to fail. That's kind of how this game is except it's not quite impossible, just horribly unfair. You should make a sequel to this game with a better jumping system, but make the levels very hard to do, and only beatable with lots of practice.

[Sydney Shark]

awesome

Just as good as the first one so there isn't much to say about the gameplay. Since it's basically the same but in a different setting. I loved all the cool stuff you had to do to get the achievements, The kayak was a hard one for me, I ended up getting it at the last possible second. I figured out the secret achievement my first play through so I got that achievement as well as most of the others. It's more fun to try to keep the hat on the whole time and get all the planes/helicopters.

Overall, this game is awesome in every way for a quick and addictive smash 'em up. I seriously laughed out loud and hard when you have to take down the crocodile plane and Steve Irwin shows up on screen saying "YEAH!" Hilarious!

I would love to see a third shark game, I don't think it's getting old at all. Maybe Las Angeles shark, and you could really rip on all the celebrities (both joking and literally ripping them apart)

[Rock 'n' Risk]

good

The music is very fun to listen too and there is some variety so you don't get bored with it.

The game itself is a cool idea and I had a good time playing through the progressively harder stages. Having the option to add bonuses that make the game harder was fun but I just picked them without trying it normally and i managed to pass it no problem. So maybe make it a little more difficult if you make a sequel.

Overall, the physics work well and the different things you can do to get to the blocks and stay away from the wrong ones works well and it's fun. This game is basically what the title says, you listen to good music (rock) and you try to get the biggest combo you can get without screwing up (risk). Great job on a fun and addictive game, although it does feel a little repetitive once you get near the end.

SiJaf responds:

Hey, thanks! Changing the difficulty will be a bit hard, because there are alreaday people complaining that the game is too hard :D But I can add different difficulty options.

[Cloud to Ground Lightning]

nice

There is nothing wrong with this game. You have difficulty settings, a game mode with an ending and a game mode just for shits and giggles. The sound effects and gameplay are exactly what they were meant to be. The enemies increase and a decent rate and the game becomes harder at a good pace. (I have played all the difficulties and found that to be true on all of them)

Overall a good recreation of CoD's AC130 Gunship level. My only complaint was that at some times, your helicopter that you are protecting is too close to the edge of the screen. This makes it hard to kill enemies before they are within range of attacking. so a wider Sight range would be nice but it shouldn't stop you from completing the game, even on General III.

[Dream Racer 2]

awesome

Reminds me alot of, "Heroine Hero". You know, the game where you shoot Heroine and try to catch the pink dragon? Very cool, funky and psychadellic. Flying and going faster is pretty fun and the scenery is weird but calming at the same time. This game felt like it was created by Andy Warhol.

[Drop - interactive toy]

artsy....

The drawing and the concept is alright I guess... However, the entire thing is pretty much a plug to buy your album. The sounds don't hold so you can't even mix a cool beat or anything. The only types of people who could actually play with your "soundboard" and like it, are stoners and the clinically insane. Please, try to convey a message to us if you are going to try and be deep and artsy, otherwise don't waste my time.

[Cavern of the Evil Wizard]

Epic Win

I loved the movie, "Big" as a kid and I always wanted to play this game. You have given me a piece of my childhood and it exactly as I imagined it would be. This is one of the greatest games I have ever played and you are my hero.

[Dj Sheepwolf Mixer]

Please re-release

I love this game, I love to mix music and I wish you had a recording station in this. Please make another one or re-release it with some more options and the ability to record/playback. This is very fun and well made.

[Jump 'n Gun]

fun

good game and all but it could use some improvements on the jumping mechanic. I think instead of a rapid fall he should have a little less gravity to him. It would certainly make the jumping easier. I didn't find the first level particularly hard except for those gems where it seems impossible to get and not die. My only problem is that I am on the beginning of level 2 right now and I can't seem to get past that first chasm. I'm sure it's possible or you wouldn't have released the game but I think you should get rid of those spikes because it is incredible difficult and currently impossible for me to do.

I like the game though, but it definitely needs some work on the level design and jumping mechanics.
