[Mushroom Madness 2]

so good

got all achievements except the 2 at King. Soooo fun. Nothing more to say. I wish it would have recognized somehow that I got all the achievements though.. like fireworks or SOMETHING.

:) Loved it though.

[Climb or Drown!]

kind of a let down

kind of a let down.. There is absolutely no highscores... none.. wtf?

Also it got really repetitive and the only special you need is the teleport and the create a block, the others are kind of useless.

I did enjoy it to a certain point though. It just was SO annoying how the blocks kept falling on top of me. It wasnt fun to keep getting knocked back down by a cheap faliing brick 10 times in a row. It would have been better if it was more about skill rather then the luck of the brick fall.

Other then that, I beat it on my 2nd try. You have to create bricks near the end or you will die because there arent enough bricks that fall.

wish I could give it a 10

I want to give it a 10 so bad.. but the glitches held me back..

There is a glitch that creates a dead movieclip of the green 'bomb' powerup on the screen. It just appears there and you cant collect it and stays there for the whole game, also it doesnt glow green like the others actual collectable ones do. Before I figured out it was a glitch it got me killed like 5 times. This happens when you try to collect a green bomb when you already have 3 bombs.

Another glitch was when there were meteors coming in the middle of the screen, I decided okay, I will just go to the bottom of the screen. Then the bottom lit up with red warning for spikes. So I said, okay I will just move over a bit away from the red. Then BAM! The spikes came out of the walls even where it wasnt red. About 2 spaces away from it. Part of it was outlined in red instead of completed colored in red.

Also I am on level 3 and I can get to the last part with the red balls.. Its kinda too hard. I mean I am totally up for hard game and all, but its kinda cheap. There's no real way you can win by strategy, there needs to be more bombs in this part I think. I mean it comes to a point where if its too hard, people wont want to continue playing. I could understand if this was the last level because this way, the harder the battle but the bigger the prize (beating the whole game rather then just unlocking a new level).

Please fix these issues and it will be a perfect 10.

fun

pretty fun game. But I think you need to find better music. I had to stop playing, the music was possibly the most annoying I have ever heard in a game.

Xplored responds:

I guess music preferences are too subjective and variable to match them for all players... We tried old style cartoon music. Someone liked it a lot, but of course some others didn't.
BTW, many thanks for the 7 even if you didn't like the audio.

[Robot Wants Kitty]

damnit man!!!!

DUDE!! Ugh. I love this game, but I got caught in a glitch that made me quit..

There are 4 green blocks to the right of a big blue bubbly monster that shoots at you, this is the first siting of a big blue bubbly monster. Then I used my rocket on the green wall and I went bouncing back at a crazy speed and got stuck below the ground.. I could walk around and shoot and it let me jump for a bit and that was it.. stuck!

[Next Action Frog]

hmm

sorry but its not very good.

It needs a lot of improvement. The engine itself also needs improvement. Why does the level keep going after I beat it?

Level 15 is impossible to actually learn what you are suppose to do without looking at the walkthrough. I mean why would anybody just sit there for 10 seconds and just wait and stare at the screen? No one would know to do that.

Also there wasnt much of innovation or anything really even new here. I have seen this type of game many times before.

The game isn't terrible.. I did actually play until level 15 which I guess says something. Perhaps just add more things to it. Perhaps some special abilities where your frog will change color and youll earn some sort of super frog power.

keybol responds:

the clue is follow the flies, so it's pointing to the left. also if you reach the end of the right line of mushrooms, you will see flies making an arrow pointing to the left

[Sushi Cat]

so good

This game is crazy! Whoever did the programming must be freaking crazy smart to be able to do something like this.

Very good job guys!

[Infectonator : World Dom]

Okay here's my review.

Glitches:

- Still sometimes when you click the infection disappears right away so you just wasted 1 infection.
- Sometimes it wont let me click at all
- The infection bullets sometimes disappear without even hitting anything.

Fixes Needed:

-When I come out of a level it should really show the city I just came out of, NOT the city of the highest level. When I am trying to beat a level I keep having to scroll back to the city I want to beat every time I fail. Even when I beat the highest level city, it still brings me back to it after each level.
- I maxed out everything (on the bottom of the screen) after completing 3 countries. It made it very easy and very boring after this part until I killed about 2 more countries, then it got harder. But it wasn't fun to keep playing after this point because the player was no longer required to actually think about his actions.. Just click.. infect.. store.. buy random upgrades who cares which ones.. next level..
- Okay so I made it to the harder levels now.. Whats new here? anything? Nope? Okay.. this is where I quit playing. It got very boring. Seriously, you should have created more environmental hazards, like perhaps swimming pools that slow your zombies down, or maybe the humans bring in tanks and helicopters. Something that will get the player thinking! The part I liked was when I had to strategize in the earlier levels, I needed to make sure I was buying the right power ups to complete specific levels.
- Control the map with ASDW and Arrow keys please
- Why is there no way to tell how or why we unlock the special zombies? I unlocked the Tank one and thats it.. I still dont know how I unlocked him.
- The zombies end up getting way too focused on the sides of the screen. I think when new people come in they should be invincible for 2 seconds and they cant shoot or attack during this time. Also it seems when people come in they stop at the side of the screen to attack or if they dont have guns they just run around gliding along the sides of the screen... This causes a 'side of the screen pile up' which is so not cool. It just makes things very easy and.. awkward.
- It would be nice if the special zombies would change color or shape when upgrading them
- Ok I am still playing as I write this review. And I noticed that once you kill the special character he is now your zombie. I like this, and it does add some strategy, but the levels are still too easy. The level I just played, my zombies completely raped the sides of the screen! There were about 9 deaths in the middle and about 121 on the sides... okay..??
- Also I just unlocked 4 special characters in America.. ??
- So I am quitting the game now. Its just too easy and there is no variation on the gameplay at all..

It was a fun game, but needs a LOT of polish! I loved the first ones.. although they also needed a lot of polish, I also posted a huge review for those ones explaining the glitches I had and some other things.

I only do this because I care! I want this to succeed because I think this game could be so much more. I hope you release an iPhone version or something and just expand this idea beyond the basics of what it is.. It needs more variation to keep the player engaged. It WAS fun though for a while, just got way too easy.

7/10

[I Hate Ice Levels]

wow

wow, I didnt even knew I hated ice levels until I played this game.

[Curveout]

pretty cool

kept me entertained for a while.

Theres a glitch for when you run out of lives - you dont restart the game it just sends you to the next level every time you die. So I cheated an beat every level that way once I ran outta lives. But I didnt get achievements for those levels (I didnt destroy the bricks I just killed myself repeatedly after around level 12)

Cool little game though, I think the paddle might be too small for players to try and curve the ball, its too risky! And the reward is basically nothing, you cant really pin point a brick with the curve so even if you had the skill it wouldnt earn you anything. I did manage to curve the ball so fast that it ended up going in repeated circles in one spot though! That was kinda cool.
