[Flixel-Tutorial #1]

Nice tutorial bro, i'll definitely try to make something :)

ooh, one thing i noiticed was, at the jump and move part you had square brackets when there should be curley braces.

Schulles responds:

Yeah, for some reason flixel shows { as [... :O I probably might use a different font for the next tutorial. :)

[Segway of the Dead]

Right right you got me xD
Last year i fell for the hunger games one aswell..

[Fall Down X]

Aaah, it's one of those games.
It wasn't mindblowingly great, but sertainly wasn't booring either :3

Ways to improve :

Add a menu ( yea i know it's a boring process, but it actually makes the game feel more complete )

Might even make the character slightly bigger so you better see what you are controlling.

Background graphics, i noticed you're a programmer, well same here, but there are loads of people to ask for simple graphics. But who knows, maybe you are as stubborn as me and need to make everything but the music by yourself :p

Make the game screen more horizontinal, it would give the player a heads up for what's coming. But it ofcourse comes at a price, the price of not paying as much attention to where you are.

Anyways, i hope some of the tips were of use, have a good one :)

more horizontal? did you mean vertical?

thanks for the feedback!

[Alone in the Park]

There are a couple of things that keeps me from giving this a 5/5 score

First of all, it's unbalanced. One leavel is pice of cake the other is hard as shit.
The second boss is way easier than the first. etc. tip : Let people you know try the game first and take notice of what is easy and what is not.

Secondly... the graphics. I know i know.. It's an 8-bit park game. But there are actually alot of things you could do to make it look way more appealing. The choice of color is just.. weird. And

Third.. the enemies. Their sprites are... well... pretty lazy, different colored super mario mushrooms. That's it. The bosses are a tad better though. And i think the programmer did a great job with all of their different abilities :)

Fourth. It just feels kinda empty. More obstacles would have been nice. Maybe with different functions, etc a ramp which you can walk up to and jump down on the other side, but not climb. Maybe trees that you can shoot down to create roadblocks. Anything.

Fifth... I really don't find any replay value in this, and that in my opinion, is one of the most important things when creating a game.

Anyways, you've got yourselves a quite interesting shoot/walk mechaninc there. I like how you arn't forced to shoot in the direction you are facing. I think i have only seen that when there's a mouse involved.
Your game has great potential, and feel free to send me a message if you ever happen to release " Alone in the park 2 "

[Rocket Santa 2]

I found this quite enjoyable !
I just loved the feeling to this, the music was great etc.

I however have a few things that i'd like to mention about what could be improved.

First of all, just a few tweaks to the money gained and the cost of certain items.
At times it felt like you couldn't upgrade anything. And once you get the "10" coins you upgrade it fully within 2-3 rounds and you get shitloads of cash, hehe.

Secondly, the vertical speed of the clouds at higher altitudes is automatically high weather you are actually traveling fast or not. I don't have anything against them going fast, but they should go faster in corelation to the character :)

Third, a noticalble speed difference when you upgrade the main things. I don't know if it was just me, but i didn't realy feel like anything was going faster.

Overall this is a really really awesome game, and i really enjoyed it. Best of luck in the future :)

[Loachie]

Great game , but you should have reduced the drop rate of letters you already have. was stuck with the last letter for a good 5 minutes x)

[Dino Yacht Club: The Game]

ooh wow, this was really something speciall.
the voice acting, the animation. Just wow.
If theres one thing i can complain aobut it's the first three boss battles.
The jet in the overview stearing is hard as f*ck to controll.
And the first three bosses is a bit too easy imo :)

Made top 4 daily place. And i halved my score right before the end xd

[New York Shark]

Awesome ! i really liked this :)
I havn't played this for years and played miami shark a few hours ago and now this is realesed hahah, what a coincience hahah

[Hands of War TD]

Nice

this kept me up untill 05:42 xd

So by saying that, you could probably guess it was pretty kickass :D

[Trigger Knight]

brilliant

I had a really great time playing this :3

A few tips would be :
perhaps have different buildings
some form of savestates, idk :P
erm.. maybe that when you upgrade your weapon / armor it shows on the sprite.

Anyways, this is one of the greatest games i've seen on the site, and i really hope you make some kind of turnbased rpg in the future. 10/10 5/5 hands down !
