[escape from someplace]

Is the game impossible?

I cannot get past the buzz-saw... Programming and artwork are important elements, and judging from this could have promise, but difficulty & gameplay elements are extremely important as well... This game has about 25 seconds worth of gameplay... I want to know how this game got a score over 2?!?

[Color Eliminator]

Pretty solid submission

Nice simplification of the DDR-genre, down to the basics. What i noticed is that the hit area for 'Failure' is very spotty, and clicking it after you lost can be a little irritating. Also, clicking Failure isn't terribly intuitive, and it brings you back to a screen you've already been to and don't really need to come back to. Anyway, nice game.

Finished in 45 seconds

I was too overcome by the ease of just pressing tab, you have to fix that! Otherwise a reasonabe game.

[The Adventures of BlobBob]

Well produced game, lots of potential

First of all, its a great game, i love a good side-scroller. The music could have been more suiting/less repetitive. There were a few things that bothered me:

1.) Screen-scrolling when moving to the left. When the character was moving to the left, the character remained maybe 25% from the left side of the screen. The screen view should be adjusted if moving left is a common element, as with this game.
2.) Moving on to the next level. I found myself still holding a button from the previous level when i was thrown into the new level. Quite frustrating when the first thing you do in a level is inadvertantly die.

Otherwise a very enjoyable game!

[BR III: Gemini]

Cool, simple, stylish, addictive game

But the music! I only had time to play though a handful of levels (maybe 10 or so), and perhaps the music changes whenever you go from one level to another (BTW~ definitely a GarageBand tune), but the when you get stuck for a couple minutes on a level, and the music does the same little lick over and over again, it gets sort of frustrating! Otherwise a fantastic, polished game.

[Dress up Cathy]

OK, a dress-up game

I've never been much of a fan of dress-up games, so i'll try not to rate too harshly. It was nice and stylish at times. Loading of music could have gone a lot smoother; I'm on a high-speed connection, with a reasonably fast computer, and while it was loading music (i think that's what it was doing), I didn't see any progress meters? For about 30 seconds before the game started I thought it got stuck or something.
