[Particle Pong]

Okay

While it was well animated for what it was, I don't think that adding particles to pong really does anything to improve that old game. Probably the best feature of this game was the black hole that appeared. An increase of speed of the ball would have been appreciated as well.

[Ninja Guiji]

Good job

I think you have the start of something great here. I think some detail to the levels (like more than just a gray ground) would really help. Overall I like the look of the graphics, but just add some more details to the levels and polish the overall game. Great job. I really hope you make another.

[BotArena3]

Good

I think that this is a well made game, but I think there is room for improvement. Graphics were good enough, and it follows in the footsteps of customizable mech games (which are always fun), so it gets style points for that. One thing that really irked me about the game, and kind of ruined it for me, is that you could never use 2 of the best bots you could possibly make at every arena. You would always be over by 2 points of weight, and that became very aggrivating. I think the control of the bots could be vastly improved, it's very basic right now. You have so little control over your bots, its left more to chance that you win certain battles. Other then that, well done.

[Boxhead: More Rooms]

Good

There's been so many shooters lately where you just run around shooting zombies that I was worried that this would be the same old thing. I was plesantly suprised and enjoyed it. One problem though, after I got to either level 10 or 11, the enemies just stopped coming. I was on the maze level. Just work on the graphics a little, and polish the game, and I think it will be great.

[Grammar Ninja]

Interesting

A well made game, I could see this being used to teach kids grammar. I know I would have done better with it if this were around when I was a kid.

[B.L.A.C.K. 2]

Needs work

It's a good start but it still needs a lot of work. The only weapon worth using as of now is the rocket launcher, and since it only takes one shot with it to kill the enemy, and you get the ammo right back, theres no point of using the other guns. The enemy needs to move around to make it more challenging. It would also be nice if there was a way to sneak up on an enemy. I highly doubt if you were walking around a corner, suprising an enemy, he'd have an insintanious reaction like they do in this game.
The graphics, while good, could be spruced up. The soundtrack gets a little repetitive, and a few different tracks at every new level would help.
I suggest taking a look at other games of this genre that are rated very high, and see if you can improve on your game. Sorry for being so critical, just trying to help.

[StarCraft FA 5]

Alright

It's an alright game. Like everyone else says, the transitions between menus take to long and slow the game down. It was too slow paced. You have to streamline this game. At this point, it be easier to play actual Starcraft.

Nice

This is a nice spin on the popular "Defense" genre of games. I liked the sound, and the colors. I also enjoyed the nice touch of having the "balls" come back and make impact craters on the ground. Well done.

[Game of Disorientation]

Creative

This was a very creative game. I liked how the difficulty was automatically reduced if you messed up, and how you didn't have to start all over (atleast, I didn't die enough to). The only thing I would have liked was a larger variety of music. Overall, excellent game, and very original.

[Dark Cut]

Creative

This is the most creative idea for a game that I've seen in awhile. Great job on all aspects. I would have liked it to been longer though. Maybe a sequel?
