[**ice bouncer**]

Nice Breakout clone

Don't think I've seen Breakout that often before on NG - this is OK, but I don't like the way that the ball randomly changes angles and catches you out sometimes, and that you can't change the angle of the ball using the bat, and that as it's controlled by the mouse there isn't any balls you can't reach. Not bad for a quick couple of plays - you might want to add some Arkanoid-style power ups and make it so the entire level doesn't reset if you die.

[BatAndMouse 2]

Improvement over the last game

Better than the first Bat and Mouse - the clock power up helped a load, and the multiple levels and methods of doom added to the humour and fun. As someone stated, more powerups (perhaps a different sort for each level) would make this even better.

[Bat And Mouse]

Good short game

Great simple premise, fun to play, tricky after a while and great Benny Hill music. One that everyone can enjoy, although it lacks the addictiveness that some games here have.

[Scope Assault]

Decent for an older submission

The gameplay is a bit repetitive and dull, but it all works OK, looks fairly nice and could be fun if you want to try and improve your kill rate. As you say, it was made a long time ago, but it would have been nice if there was a couple of different levels or the bad guys shot back.

[WOT_II SpecOps]

Another great shooter

I don't think this was as good as the first - that was more difficult and had a better range of levels (no sniper rifles on this one), but this is another good shooter. Lots of terrorists to gun down, the same nice backdrops and good sound effects. Great fun to play.

[GT Flash's Tetris]

Tetris. Wow.

Consider yourself very lucky this passed judgement - there's already about 500 different versions of Tetris on NG, and most of those have sound and don't have graphical flaws (the blocks shouldn't all turn to blue once they reach the bottom of the screen). Do something original next time!

[Family Guy:Soundboard]

Good soundboard

Family Guy is a very good cartoon, and you've sampled a large number of sounds which are all good. Fun to play with, clearly Stewie's sounds are the best. By all means do another soundboard, don't know what, perhaps Futurama.

[Like Jailbait?]

Legal or not? You decide

It's simple really - guess if they're legal. I've seen this sort of thing before but not as well as this. That FBI guy was pretty cool and had some great putdowns. I don't think it's the sort of thing I'd play more than a couple of times, once I've seen all the options, but it's good fun and will appeal to a wide section of the NG audience. There's plenty of scope for sequels as well!
