[Duck Union]

dear jasnagrgurevic

The game seems to be a bit...Insipid. It lacks really alot of things and it buggy at best. There are times when my duck phases through the floor below even while idling. The platforms are a bit dull like for the black bars for example. And I don't really get the use of the skills and the RPG mechanics you are trying to implement here. It just feels like it doesn't fit given that the game acts like a simple but broken platformer. Sorry man but please try to fix it and make it more interesting. Add music, SFX, animations and such. Sorry to be nitpicky but that's how I review things.

Dear Nutcasenightmare

This is one of my favorite all time comedy game. Your humor is really astute and spot on. I like all the references to the current events of the date. Even though I was probably living under a rock and couldn't understand most of them. But anyways everything from the characters, to the neverending gameplay with surprising endings. All mashed together into one heap of a really surreal and hilarious.

[Mr.Block Blue Christmas Edition]

dear HappyCorpGames

Okay just let me get this out of my system first. "OHHHH." Okay whew. The way he sounds when he gets hit is really...Ugh...But anyways why am I baffled to the sound of a measly blue santa like character? Its because he was continually getting beat up by the candy cane obstacles as I've come across a bug where I CANT DIE. Seems like you have to do a little bit of Optimizations and fixes. The game seems to have its fair share of different minigames to choose from well done. But still there are problems that you should fix.

Dear Etriuswimbleton

Thank you for your very poetic review.
And yes I am working on more fixes right now, (When I fix one bug another one just pops up....)
but I'm trying to fix em. And your right about that oah sound he makes. Their should be a way to turn it off.

From Mr.Blocky Blue to you, (Aka: A measly blue Santa like Character) Thank you :)

[1+1 Freaky Math]

dear jasnagrgurevic

Hopefully I'm speaking for most of these people that you're reaching out to a very minor audience here pal. Well I for one can enjoy playing this...But its too simple though. A simple but common educational math game. I'd suggest for you to delve on this a little bit more. Instead of the simple algebraic expressions and algorithms try to implement them into an innovative idea with math involved...And I mean that for ingame not in the programming.

Thank you very much for your opinion, it matters to me and my team a lot. We will try maybe to make the game more complex in the future.
fyi, please don't call me "pal", jasna is a girls name, I am a girl. :)

[Pong]

dear imaking123

I apologize but this idea has been overdone to death. There are so many pong clones here that I couldn't even count. And worst of all (pardon me) this didn't innovate on the mechanics of pong.
Sorry for comparing you're game amongst hundreds of its own clones but its the truth really. But judging on the gameplay itself is well...as expected but don't fret, Its a great start but it won't fit here with the others. Trust me. Anyways kudos for making one though. Its just not really interesting to play in.

[Newgrounds Rumble]

dear Luis, NegativeONE and MindChamber

As I can recall correctly (As I played this game before but didn't leave a review) The fighting in here seems a bit sluggish or slow. I'm more of the type of person who prefers fast paced type of action.
But anyways I remembered I was excited when you added HANK in. Yeah I admit I am a huge fan in the series like everyone and that there earns you lots of respect from me :3 Kudos to the game and the cool mugen artstyle. Everyone seems to be a bit balanced and are on par with each other. Nice work!

[The Christmas Tree]

dear boundtotheearth

I have to apologize for what I have to say but this isn't very good. Sorry but I have to be nitpicky here but hopefully you would understand and glean through my points. I'll arrange it here into a list. So that you can easily sort out the bad and the good and the ones you can fix on.

-First there's no music and SFX. Its more fun with them included (Depending on the concept of the game)
-Second you were able to use the concept of the Ludum Dare. Which is Grow and utilizing two buttons, but the problem here is...That this is what I would imagine at first as a tentative game if I were you. What I mean here is that this was an obvious and common idea in the game that alot ofpeople could've made. Grow = Tree and using that tree to block of something, like a missile.
-Third, the controls are not fixed in the game screen. What I mean here is that when I press UP, My browser window scrolls up concurrently with the game.
-Fourth, There is no detail or indication on how I will lose when the missile manages to hit the building. Try to add in some detail into it, like cracks on the building or heck just ignore adding detail and just add a stat.

Anyways...Gameplay wise its not really that interesting to play with. Its just a simple defend the tower like game. I would suggest additional more features into it, like an uppgrade store and stuff.
Well cheers though for making a working game. It just has some problems and a lack of fun it...Well for me that is.
