[Ping Pong 1P]

OK pong game

Not bad, could do with getting faster more quickly, as it's pretty boring initially. It's nothing I haven't seen before, but for 9K it's passable.

[Windoors]

Amusing parody

It's not bad, but it's been done better since this has been submitted. OK for a quick view I guess. Could have done with more options. Always good to have a windows parody.

[Space Carrot Ver 1.0]

Flawed

This could have been OK, but it was lacking in many aspects - random deaths, poorly drawn graphics and no real challenge make for a pretty lame effort.

[Gravity Side Scroll]

Interesting engine

Seemed to be working OK, I was getting 15-17 fps. Make something with it, as right now this is just a test really.

[Alien Hominid]

Christ! This is incredible!

This is one of the best games I've played on NG, definitely. It reminded me a lot of Contra. Great fun to play, lots of different moves, power ups and enemies, with good graphics, sounds and violence. Everyone already knows this is a classic, but if anyone doesn't, they should play this. Excellent job, can't wait for the console version!

[Black ViVi's Moonlander]

It's another lander game

This is unoriginal, in fact it's very, very similar to certain movies I've seen before, but it played OK I suppose. Could have done with some sound.

[Bomb BinGanistan]

Underrated little game

This was fun to play for a while, the graphics and sounds were fine and there's different things to do. Gets boring quickly, but I don't see why this is rated so low.

[Go Saddam Go!]

Superb game

This is very, very well done - fun to play, solid graphics and sound (I liked the background music a LOT), with lots to see and do, varying difficulty and multiple levels. Worth more than one play, this is one of my new favourites. Great stuff!

[Canyon Glider]

Fun to play

Decent game, good controls, lots of features and generally fun to play. Could have done with a bit of sound but this is a worthy daily feature. The levels seemed a bit long though, and I was getting a bit bored after a while.

[USA Under Attack:The Game]

Curiously fun to play

Don't get me wrong, this is on some level offensive, but the actual game was OK. Unoriginal, but OK. Different point values, difficult to hit some of the targets, and a nice loop in the background. Of course, it's violent as well. Rather underrated!
