[Mr Wobbly Legs]

Cool little game

I liked this a lot - fun to play, multiple difficulty levels, seems to be coded well and is challenging. A simple idea, well done with solid if unspectacular graphics and sounds.

[OutRun: Version 9.0]

Alright shooting game

Not a bad game, but it's awfully samey and pretty basic. It's good there's more than one level. Graphics were simple and could have been better, couldn't tell on the sound as my speakers have gone feral. Now it doesn't look too good but back when it was released it would have looked better.

[Card Sharks!]

Play your cards right, eh?

It's fun to play, a nice short game. It'll naturally get dull after a while due to the limited nature of the game, but it's good for a quick laugh. Small file size is also handy.

[Worm Dress-Up]

Another dress-up? Why?

I can't understand why people make, or even play these. They're just mind-numbingly dull. This one was better than most, with an OK sound loop and a fair selection of things, but that doesn't mean I liked it one little bit. For a first submission it's OK. Just don't do one of these again.

Dezmodus responds:

as i said to the other guy, why'd you play it then, it has dress-up in the title.

[Mario Dodge Shell!]

Seemed glitchy

The idea for this game is good, it just seemed rather glitchy in places, and it wasn't clear when I was being hit or not. The sound was quite annoying as well. It's OK, not something I'd play too often in its current state, work at it and you could have a winner.

TvP responds:

;-)

[Find The Ball]

Too easy

It's a nice idea, but it's basically the bonus game in quiz machines made really easy and short. It doesn't help that it seems to be the same every time, killing any longevity the game might have. At least you made a version 2 which should be better.

[w.w.t.b.a.m. v2.0by joshR]

Fix those sounds!

The sounds on this are awful! They really make a poor game even less enjoyable. The questions were crap, in fact the whole game was just crap and boring.

thejosh responds:

It sure was.

[Car Driver Beta]

Ask someone to delete it

If you want the movie deleted, email NG about it, don't just replace it with nothing that doesn't even appear to load.

[The Infamous Ape]

Nice test! Where's the rest of it?

This is a very good test - the monkey follows your mouse cursor around, and it does it very well. It's fun to move your mouse out of the top of the screen, then nip around outside of the window and put it in at the bottom - creates for quick comic movements. It's well designed, coded and animated, but it still gets dull and makes you wonder why this couldn't have been incorporated into something better.

[Mike-Escape From Prison]

It's just like Pico, only crapper

Decent idea, there's a fair bit of interactivity in there, but I just got bored of it and kept thinking I could be playing Pico instead. I also couldn't get over the terrible graphics either. I'd say it's worth a quick play, just don't expect anything great.
