Addictiveness 6/10 Above Average
Programming 4/10 I know how frustrating making scrolling plat-formers can be, but this was simply too basic.
Graphics 2/10 Pretty much everything is a gradient-filled rectangle. Only the rocks and the title screen stand out.
Originality 4/5 It's fairly unique, but for the extra marks it needs more original level designs.
Ease of Use 5/5 Very simple!
Difficulty 2/5 Not controlled at all. The boss battle is near-impossible if you are on the ground, but you can slide under it and not have to face it making it very easy if you get in the ground.
Sound 1/5 No sound effects and bad music.
Overall Experience 20/50
   Positive:
The pixel idea was great, but the execution was poor. I liked how simple it was, and it was quite addictive.
   However...
I had to turn my speakers off after only a couple of loops of the song. Also, as I said before the difficulty was unbalanced. There was no control as to where the player could and could not go. Also, the level designs seem boring. It's the same old gradient-filled rectangles, and even the colour scheme looks poor. You bounce on all of them, without anything new to do in the game. Well, there's the boss battles but it wasn't brilliant.

TOTAL 39/100

How about my game, Crypt? Just a demo currently.

______________________________________________

Addictiveness 5/10 It's hard to score this category because it's a demo, so I'll base it on would I like to play further? Maybe. I will mention what would make me want to stay playing later on, but the problem is that the levels seem to be lacking much in them Whilst the graphics are fantastic, if you were to remove those graphical elements you'd end up with just a load of empty rectangular spaces joined together by a few gaps.
Programming 6/10 I bet programming the effects and some other things took a lot of working out, but your bare levels bring this score down as creating them would have been quite easy.
Graphics 9/10 My only complaint is that it's hard to see objects, and really they should stand out a lot in the light, and be invisible in the dark. Instead, you can always see them at pretty much the same visibility, so in the dark you could tell they were there, but because they did not stand out enough in the light I never realised it was something usable. It was also hard to tell what changes had been made when using a switch, an indicator on screen may have been wise with a small arrow.
Originality 5/5 As far as top-down games go, this is one of the most unique ever!
Ease of Use 2/5 The problem was with the keys. When I made my Rayman 4 game for example, I made it so that you would only ever use the keyboard and never the mouse for anything, however on here your hands are all over the place. In the menu, sometimes you press X, other times you press SPACE, then in the menu you use the arrows to change your selection then in-game you use E,S and the CURSOR! Perhaps you need to utilize each key better. Also, the difficulty of finding things in each level made this harder as well.
Difficulty 4/5 It's a game that anybody could enjoy, but you don't get full fives because the difficulty needs raising just a little bit more.
Sound 5/5 The sounds were amazing, nothing more said.
Overall Experience 20/50 This would be higher with the full game finished, so don't get discouraged. I believe it was too early for you to come to get reviews for this, but I will gladly review it again another time.

How about this?
Just the preview.

Did you ever do the ones that I asked for?

The Impossible Quiz
by fulldroid
_____________________________________________________

Addictiveness 8/10 It's very addicting! However, it loses points on the fact that there's a lack of excitement which appears in other games similar to this. Maybe speeding it up with timers or adding some comedy may sort this out, as the current style is quite bland.
Programming 9/10 It was probably fairly straight forward to program, but the lack of any glitches and the fact that it only needs to be simple help bring this up.
Graphics 6/10 They are quite simple, but not bad.
Originality 3/5 Not only do these type of games exist, but you have not added any features to separate this from the others.
Ease of Use 5/5 Very simple to use!
Difficulty 2/5 Way too easy. You would have got an extra point if the game was not called The Impossible Quiz!
Sound 3/5 Average music with no sound effects.
Overall Experience 35/50 It needs tweaking, and certainly extra levels with greater difficulty! Also, the style brings this down as I mentioned in the first part.
TOTAL 71/100

Circles vs. Sticks: Issue 1
by Coolhogs
_______________________________________________

Animations
Plot Quality 7/10 The plot is about a rock-paper-scissors game, which is nice and simple, but a little more expansion is needed to get those last 3 points.
Character Development 8/10 Because this is a comic, and this style of project does not need any character development then I'll let you off with 8, but maybe if you could try adding more characters and perhaps give each one something funny they do to make them remembered by viewers.
Graphics 3/10 Whilst I see where you are going with the simplicity style, it's way too basic.
Sound 0/5 I'll deduct 5 points off the possible total so that it does not affect the percentage you get.
Bonus for Other 7/15 It's quite funny, but really a comic should have a story, some good characters and instead of a simplicity-stick-man style, a more 60s type art would have been better. This really shouldn't be a comic if you don't want it to look like one.
TOTAL 25/45

why don't i make the next issue- and I call it Borrego6165's one-off special edition, then you can use that as a template and make your own comics after that.

Song Choice 10/10 Brilliant song choice!
Graphics 6/10 Whilst the drawings were nice, the jittery animation and the still moments which went on quite long bring this score down. There were long moments were there was no movement on screen. Also, some-things could have easily made smoother. Whilst I respect you not making certain things smoother, the sun could have been a sprite which hides behind the mountain's sprite, and the sun could have smoothly changed colour into orange before setting. As I said before, the drawings were nicely done.
Story 7/10 The characters and the location are good, however what happens there is brought down because of the still moments which went on too long. If they had of been doing something for the whole thing it would have been better.
TOTAL 23/30

Yes...
That would work out...
Then you could give it to me somehow, secretly...

I've decided on a name for the Circle, and the Stick in that one... The first one...
Their names? The circle is Eve, and the Stick is Max. The name is original, and so is the first one, in which Eve, and Max are featured.

Like it?
