I want to make music and flash animations, but I can't make them the way they are in my head, and I can't settle for less. Oh, and I'm awesome. :P

"Good game with room for improvement."

submission: Blosics
date: December 16, 2009

+ Good - Bad * Either ! Idea

+ Physics
+ Level design
+ Didn't encounter any glitches
+ Balanced
- Not much of a reason to replay except to get a higher score
* Not really original
* Simple
* Short
* May cause lag?
! Level editor. BECAUSE EVERYTHING NEEDS A LEVEL EDITOR.
! Lasers. BECAUSE EVERYTHING NEEDS LASERS. Could destroy both good and bad blocks, maybe?
! Achievements. BECAUSE EVERYTHING NEEDS ACHIEVEMENTS. Certain score, time, shot size, perfect level, etc.
! Glass blocks
! Glue blocks
! Moving stone/ice/rubber/glass/glue
! Interactive menu
! Limited number of shots (Hard mode?)

Overall, a good game if you have a few spare minutes. Reminds me of Boombot...

"A great clone of SkyRoads!"

submission: HiRoads

Perfect remake of the original game. Most of the time I've spent with this game is in its intuitive level editor. I've submitted quite a few levels in the last couple days. Go to the website, log in, click "Roads", search "csd", play levels, leave comments, make some of your own for me to play. :P Frustrating, fun, and addictive. The only real thing that annoyed me, besides difficulty, was that sometimes I couldn't jump. I've already posted suggestions for features and more on the forums. I'll name a few here:

- Replay videos (Like in games such as Peggle or Raiden III.)
- Time limits on certain levels.
- Editor: Ability to give fire, ice, etc. properties to non-flat platforms.

In case anyone is interested, another great game in the same style is Tasty Static. It's freeware, and has a bunch of different platforms that can turn your player around, reverse gravity, etc. It got me into games like this, and ate up a lot of my time. The Windows version has a very in-depth level editor, too. I think the creator is on Newgrounds, but I forgot his name here.

I think this game would work with some achievements and/or medals. Jump x times and beat a level, play a level entirely under a certain speed, don't use the last three columns on the right/left, play all levels, make a level, beat a level on your first try (Is there any way to link these to user-created levels?), beat all levels, beat all levels at full speed... I could go on and on. In the meantime, self-imposed challenges FTW! :D

"Oh boy! I'm doing another one of THESE reviews! :P"

submission: Jellyman

+ Graphics are nice and simple.
+ Smooth animation.
+ Mostly fun level design.
+ Background music doesn't make me mute the game.
- Level gameplay can be shorter than the restart time on levels with tough obstacles right at the start.
- Jelly physics often resulted in uneven movement, sometimes throwing me the opposite direction.
- I get pissed after failing at the end of a long, hard level because of the above problem.
- Nothing too new to be seen.
!!! Can get stuck in walls. (Intentional?)
/ Would play a *Cough* longer *Cough cough* sequel.
/ Occasional genre switch and a clever boss would be enjoyable and fitting.
/ Would welcome more obstacle variety.
/ Achievements are all the rage, so why not?
/ Different flavors of jelly?
/ Jelly should turn to liquid when melted so it can slip through cracks and be molded into different shapes. You know, because that would be kinda cool or something. Also should be stored in a jar to maintain freshness.
/ Should automatically record your best times.
/ Should automatically record the new episode of your favorite show.
/ No super special secret surprise succeeding success? Aww...

7/10, favorite. Me likey. :3

Spyro - Dark Hollow (8 bit)

"This site needs more Spyro remixes..."

date: April 21, 2009

Instant favorite! Spyro has the greatest music... I'd love it if people remade Spyro songs more often. I can't possibly express how happy I am to see this here. *Ends extremely short review*

Author's Response:

Well you can count on me making a few more Spyro remixs in the future! Possibly an entire handful. I'm only doing the first game at the moment. And I'll probraly only do the first three at all.

"Mmmmmyep."

date: March 11, 2009

Speedy, but not speedcore. I can has credit for my parts? :P The full version is going to be pretty slow, guys... and will also be a lot better and sound pretty different. ;) 80 BPM. I should work on it a little... The collab is slowing down *too much*. MOTIVATION! GIMME MOTIVATION! >_<
