[Chickadee]

OK fighting game

This is definitely different, but the controls are limited. But, for a small file this is pretty good.

[Virtual Surgeon Demo]

Difficult to comment

This demo was limited, but a full version wouldn't be great either. Everything was functional, but there should have been some sound.

[BlackJack]

A simple blackjack game

It's blackjack, and it works OK apart from the inability to double or split. Does exactly what it says on the tin really.

[Les Woogles 2]

Good short game

This isn't brilliant, but for the file size it's pretty cool. Two different types of game, the first ring collecting game was definitely better. Could have used some sound, and maybe had a few more levels but for < 100K and one of your first efforts I can't complain too much.

[DFG]

Decent, but rather slow

This was OK to play and there's lots of different things to do, but it's very very slow. For this to play well you'll need to find a way to speed it up.

[Insane Lander v2]

Decent lander game

Similar to many other games, but this is a bit better because there's more things to try to kill you. There's not really enough fuel to use though. You might want to make it not as tough as it is.

[How To Pick Up]

Expected better

I expected somewhat better from something with a blue score - the graphics were OK and it was mildly amusing, but all it is is some guy trying poor chatup lines. Somewhat original, but overrated.

[Ace Fighter::Beta]

Not bad for a first go

As the subject says. For a beta this is unoriginal, but OK, and pretty challenging on the hardest level. You could add in weapons upgrades, more levels, bosses and stuff to make it better, and you might want to make it so that bullets don't continue after they hit an opposing plane. That sound loop quickly became annoying.

[SebShooter beta]

Decent enough shooter

Wasn't bad, but somewhat unoriginal. There are lots of ways this could be improved if you wanted to. Is quite difficult to play, you've got to be quick. It would be nice if you could put in multiple difficulty levels (or multiple levels even), or ammo limits which could be refilled now and again.
