[Sled Shredding]

way too simple and boring

Basically the more time you have to waste, the higher score you get. The game doesn't evolve and you keep doing the same jumping over and over.

The best thing in this game is that you can turn the music off, thanks for that.

[Obey! The Game]

okay

Good but sometimes I don't have time to read what I'm supposed to or not supposed to do and I'm already dead. After that, the only way to win is to play over and over and memorise each level. And that's just boring.

[Blosics]

Good game!

Very very good game, but it's waaaaay toooo short, but I see you're working on another one with more levels, so that's great!

[Drag Box]

Okay

It says in the instructions that "You can teleport when the meter is full by clicking" however, when I click, and the meter is full, nothing happens, except that the meter goes back to zero and starts filling up again... What the hell is that?

Anyway, nice game, but the power ups only last a few seconds, so there is no real point in collecting them, speed mode is a bit dodgy and pressing the space bar doesn't seem to deactivate it, and I find it annoying that the block just hangs there, it's really clumsy especially when you need to go through a tiny hole, if it isn't hanging at the right angle then it won't work, so you just have to whack it around until it goes in...

It's a nice concept but the game needs polishing.

[shrink it]

Good

It's a good idea, but it took me a while to figure out what the goal was (to get the smiley into the white box) because the exit looks like it's part of the background. Also, when you click buttons (like "Next Level"), nothing changes in the button, you should polish that a bit more, clicking on a rectangle with text in it without it changing in some way makes me think something is wrong and it doesn't feel like I actually clicked it.

[Destroy All Cars]

Okay

The game is okay but the physics aren't as good as what I've often seen in other Flash games, and the cars don't seem to have the right weight. Also, there isn't enough control over what you do, you can set the ramp, but that's about it. All you can do is press the mouse button nonstop, it doesn't require any thinking. Plus even if you press the mouse button all the time, it doesn't feel like the car is accelerating enough, it seems way too heavy. Also, something I found very annoying is that you have to do everything with the mouse. That scroll bar is also quite annoying, maybe you should find a way to do all this with the keyboard, like accelerating with Space, changing the ramp with UP and DOWN, scrolling with LEFT and RIGHT.

[Communist in Space]

okay

Its good but you should include some indication on HOW to play, it says "Click to Start", if you click, he immediately falls down and it's game over. It should say "click, hold for a while, and release" instead.

[Jetpack Jailbreak]

Good

It's a good game but my problem is that once you have all the upgrades it gets quite boring since I find it really hard to make the 600 meters, because each time I activate the anti-gravity coil, the suit becomes uncontrollable and you can't even steer it (pressing both arrow keys won't make it go in a straight line but either left or right). And I always end up coming to a stop and there's nothing I can do. Also, the anti gravity coil behaves very strangely since one I've pressed SPACE and then let go, and if I want to activate it again, it won't work.

[Vector Conflict The Siege]

Really good!

Very good game, not too complicated and the upgrades make lots of sense, not too hard but not too easy, I just found the invisible tanks a bit annoying, it would be cool to at least see them, even if they don't show up on the radar. And I think the cormorant is way too difficult to take down!

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

Good idea

Good idea, the concept is fairly original, however, you need to make this game way more professional, it feels like "my first flash game". The jumping and left/right seems a bit sticky, laggy or not as responsive as I would expect, not sure how to describe it!

But the whole thing is a good idea, just improve it!
