[Last Defense [beta]]

Fix the sound!

This looks pretty good, and the final version could well be a feature of the day contender. You need to fix the collision detection, for sure, but it's looking good. The sound is incredibly annoying at the start of each level.

Couldn't fire on level 4 - I had run out of rockets on the previous level but it did give me more.

[Blast Your Enemies!]

Best short game since Defend Your Castle

Loved that. Fast, frantic action (sometimes too frantic), with lots of different enemies to kill. A good challenge - only gripe I'd have is that the cannon is too slow to move.

[Hairy Bullet Pong]

Preferred Asteroids

It's Pong. Not much else to say, it's a pretty accurate Pong. Computer AI was ok.

[Hairy Bullet Asteroids]

Solid conversion

A faithful conversion of an arcade classic.

[NSG001: 4 Bats, 1 Ball]

Fair little game

When I tried it, it seemed to slow down too much to make it really playable. If I'm doing something wrong, that's my bad. But even if I could keep it going fairly quick, I wouldn't play this for more than about 10 minutes - there's not much replay value.

AcidDimensions responds:

Well, if you really slice it (make sure the bat is movieng as fast as possible when you hit the ball) it does speed up, and the objective of the game is basically to keep the speed as high as possible - thus getting more points.

But yeah, I can understand some folk not wanting to take the time to learn the mechanics and it's not that great once you do in retrospect.

[Tetris "Flash re-birth"]

A pretty good remake

Recreates the original pretty well, only problems I have is that it takes too long to remove lines, and there's no sound. But a solid remake, with some nice new level designs.

[Defend Your Castle (Full)]

Is your wrist sore yet?

A sweet-ass game - I feel the only problem is that it gets too easy once you've got absolutely loads of archers. But other than that, I can't fault it. And the save game is a godsend!

[Spike Prototype]

Make this into a game

There's some nice stuff going on there, now make it into a game! As it stands, it's just a demo that does something (although better than most of the demos I see)

[World Domination]

A pretty sweet ass game

Technically sound in every respect - only thing I have to say - DON'T GIVE US DEMOS! I'm sure the full version is great, but it'd have to be very cheap for me to want to buy it. Don't let this detract from the fact you've made a good game.
