[Mecha Dyne Database]

Starts OK, then gets worse

The music and graphics were good at the start of the movie, but then it gets rather pointless and dull very quickly. Sound was very good early on. The text should have been larger as well.

OK game, not great

I can see how this could be addictive, and it's not bad. I just didn't like it though, I've seen better games on NG. It's still good for a quick bash, just I personally wouldn't play it.

[Flex-O Stick]

Right...

I'm pretty certain I've seen the exact same thing before, only with less options. It's not bad, but gets boring quickly. I'd write more, but there's only so much you can say about a 3K flash...

Started out promisingly...

Then I died all of a sudden rather randomly. The game has promise but seems very buggy. You might want to sort it out. Otherwise, it's not a bad idea.

Nice game!

I've not seen anything exactly like this on NG before, so it comes as somewhat of a relief. This is a nice game - the graphics aren't great, and it's hard to see where your mouse is pointing at times, but it's fun to play, with some good sounds. Fairly difficult too.

[Stress Relief]

Short and sweet

A fairly harmless short, but I don't see any real point to it. Hurt a bouncing ball as much as you like. The animation of the ball was good I guess, and the sound wasn't too bad. Not something I'd recommend watching.

Why make this?

Dress up games are universally poor, and this was no exception. Best bit was the short sound clip, nothing else appealed to me. I won't be watching this again.

[ClockCrew Shootout Game]

OK shooter

I'm sure I've seen this exact same game once already, but this was fun to play, difficult and with a good soundtrack. Unoriginal, but worth a quick play.

[Hitman2001]

Could have been worse...

This is poor, but it could have been a lot worse. At least it has multiple difficulty levels. The first level is poor - browse until you find the stickmen, then click on them. The second is only slightly better - browse until you find the armed stickman, if you're too slow you die. Could have been something good, as it is it's fairly crappy.

[Juggle]

Needs improvement

This needs massive improvement. At the moment it's not even a good idea - it's just Breakout with the multiball activated and no bricks to hit. There's superior Arkanoid style games available without much trouble looking for them. Has potential, but it's still unoriginal.
