[T E T R I S ' D: The Game]

great game

great game, great idea, everything.. but man.. the glitches make it unplayable. I get squashed in blocks that already have landed.. sometimes in blocks that have been landed for at least 5 seconds. Also you get squashed by blocks that arent even close to you.

Also I wish youd made it so the blocks would spawn infinitely higher then your position. Because I really like the meta game of trying to wall jump higher and higher, I wish you expanded that more and allowed more freedom/creativity of the player.

nice try though, fix the glitches and Id give it an 8.

2/5

very fun

Very fun, very professional looking. I really really wish there was a deselect button. I had so much fucking trouble just trying to select the right thing!! VERY annoying! Any ways this game is seriously great stuff, I am sure you'll make millions off it :)

Have fun with the millions $$ :) Buy me a car? :) :)

[Raider: Episode 2]

great game

wish I could review properly.

Ever since I upgraded to snow leopard my computer is shit. I couldnt play this game on my bran new computer -upgraded to snow leopard -without a lot of lag.

The lesson here: Dont upgrade to snow leopard.. i am pissed!

I played it on FGL pre-snow leopard and loved it. Great job friend

[Toss the Turtle]

great

Highest score 490,527.3 FT that's without holding D because I forgot to.. (how I got that far in my review) 64 tries

Man next time get me to beta test this shiz.
Got all medals except for sun medal. (which I know how to get but the sun is too rare to get, its just a matter of how long you play the game for, I played for 2 hours and havent gotten it yet, therefor the sun is too rare, make it appear more!)

Anyways you already know the game is good, so let me focus on the bad (glitches, etc.)

Make the money bags give you more money. You need to be able to make money slightly faster for players that are just starting a game.

Please make it easier to read that its a 'one time use only' !! I bought that freakin atomic bomb after saving up for so long to upgrade!! Then it only used it once.. I was like fuck.. Also the atomic bomb is kind of too expensive for what it does..

The only gun that you actually need is the Uzi. The other guns are completely useless and are all downgrades from the Uzi. Once you have the Uzi, get in the cannon and just shoot as high and far as you can, then as you fall, and just before you hit the ground, tap the mouse once and shoot the turtle. He will bounce back up completely to the last highest spot he was at and will continue at same (high) speed. Using any other gun like this works the same way, but others will have less ammo, deeming them useless.

Also after going for a while (around 2-3 million mark or so) your background separates and you can see a light blue background behind it. It only separates once per game and it is at most about a inch wide separation - usually smaller, nothing too bad.

If you land on a guy who shoots upward and the game comes to an end at that point, the gun sound will continue endlessly until you start a new level.

Please when you come back to the game have it start out in the menu! I want to be able to buy stuff or check out my stats or my progress before I start up again.

Graphics are amazing!! Love them so much, great work on that.

fun

actually pretty fun for how simple it is. Although please set the mouse to show, the only reason I died was because the mouse was hidden and it kept getting moved off the screen.

Also some kind of progress meter would be great. Id like to know when the next level is going to come. Or the next change will come to keep me playing. The first 3 minutes or so was kind of boring, I nearly quit but then read a review that said it starts to change.. so I kept playing.

Good game though. Needs mochiScores

Rhete responds:

But... the mouse shouldn't be hidden. Was it another game window open hiding the mouse?

If I make another one I will probably have more defined features like levels and visible progress in it.

And eww mochiScores no thanks.

[Pirate Golf Adventure]

love it

Loved it on FGL and love it here!

Except King.com is stupid and I think they only allow highscores for people who sign up to their site.. Kind of dumb.

Still cant find that secret room ^_^

Cant wait to see what other games you come out with.

[Frogs 'n Snakes]

really good

This is a really good really simple game here! Why are you guys voting so low!? Really great job here man. Very addictive very fun.

Not sure what else to say here though. The game is simple enough to leave as it is. Perhaps when you get a dead fish it will give you x2 the regular points for the flies then you normally would (for a certain amount of time), instead of just straight up giving you 100 points.

hansheidmann responds:

thanks :) yah i was just aiming for simple and somewhat addictive with a cuter feel to it than most my games end up with

[DG Little Red Riding Hood]

loved it

I liked this a lot, I loved the story in this one. But a post Apocalypse with no zombies!? Cmon!! Howbout a zombie instead of the wolf next time.

haha. Anyways I did notice a few mistakes here and there -

The wolf only had 3 legs in one of the levels. For both picture he had 3 legs, so it wasnt a 'difference'. Its like all of the differences are set to randomly appear whether they are different or not. Not sure if you get what I mean, its not a huge deal, but it messes up the story a little.

Like when I was on the last level, the granny was coming out of the vault and her cane was in her hand and it was also hanging on the side of the vault. So she has 2 canes??

hehe. Anyways, I am kind of just nit picking so you can try and fix these things for future games, not that its a big deal. :P Cant find anything else to complain about.

DifferenceGames responds:

Thanks, these are good points. ;) The difference are random each time you play and it can sometimes lead to weird situations like this.

cool

you should have used microtransactions for the premium version. Mochicoins would have worked just fine. Or perhaps the file size would be too big? But getting sent to a form to fill out with my credit card info isnt good, I want to see what the form is attached to. like what website. so I know its trustworthy.

Anyways, I thought the game was really well polished. I didnt like how the mouse kept doing circles on me whenever I guessed wrong. It was very annoying. Perhaps if you guess wrong you lose points, and you can unlock mini games and fun things with the points, this way people will not click around like crazy.

Also I think the 'clue lists' were a little big.. I think if at first it only shows 3, then as you find 1 it unlocks the next one you need to find, etc.

Cool game though. Loved the neat effects you added, and the music was great same with artwork. Just the gameplay needs a bit of fixing.
