Pixel Grower

"Good idea, but..."

submission: Pixel Grower
date: August 6, 2009

There's negligible skill involved. The graphics are so complex, not to mention in a positive feedback loop as well, that even a raw process on max priority can't be sustained! By 1K pixels, the pixels falling are skipping so many potential spaces, half of those you would manage to get pass straight through you, on top of the fact that maneuverability at that point is near impossible! Death is inevitable by Stage 5.
You could fix the program by changing the speed of pixels from pixels/second to pixels/frame, adding quality controls, and giving the option of toggling effects.

! Fishy !

"Um..."

submission: ! Fishy !
date: May 5, 2009

I drop in the pool, touch a puny fish, and it eats me? Maybe Fishy should go on a crash diet.

Cubefield

"499520"

submission: Cubefield

I think this game could use an upgrade. Incremental steering, perhaps? All the times I've lost were because of lack of fine control. Still, not bad.

Parkinson's Awareness!

"wtf?"

date: September 2, 2008

Just read my damn mind.
...
You lied? Well, a lot of good that did you, huh? Anyway,
The username check obviously and deliberately singularly targets everyone who listens through the whole song, which NEEDS choreography to even match up to the playing the guitar on near any different computer, telling them to vote 5 for your profit only, and, in general, being a plain, excuse my language, idiotic, cheap emotional pitfall to anyone stupid enough to listen to whatever they're told. The head bobbling would be funny for a joke nearer to the punchline of "Wants to give himself whiplash," and is more of an oxymoron related with Parkinson's, in the fact that Parkinson's affecting your neck would, in all likelihood, leave you having cardiac arrest about every second, leaving you sprawled on the floor, unconscious, until the blood flow was restored enough to resume consciousness, as well as Parkinson's, leaving your head laying still most of the time. That is, until your heart gave up altogether, and left you sprawled on the floor, dead. "Die a thousand deaths before you even [rest in peace]."

Well, I wasn't really trying to get scientific on a flash. I was simply relating the random spasms of Michael J. Fox to those of the Dragonforce guitar players. :3

Magma Mayhem!

"...You FORGOT!"

submission: Magma Mayhem!
date: August 28, 2008

Give credit to the music, blast it! I couldn't get more than 16 points in 10 tries, fix the randomization patterns. Quality is WAY overboard, you could have done the menu screen that quality at 30fps on a 10 YEAR OLD COMPUTER if you used simpler techniques. All in all, you have a very high chance of being sued by Nintendo for this, and your basic methods are outdated by 30 YEARS.

BR's Climate Chaos

"A little weird..."

submission: BR's Climate Chaos
date: August 10, 2008

Very power-disturbed. Interesting vocal signals. Deep, immersing gameplay. Very original. Great padding for personal improvement. (I myself went emo once, and this game brought me back from the brink) Occasional mild humor keeps you from dumbing out and thinking you ARE the character. Needs a readily available walkthrough, simpler island layout, and side-quests. Overall, near perfect.

Uno problemo. (One problem) Last time, the destroyed robot count was 28, now it's 27. How did that happen?
