[Horizon Of War]

it was good, but not enough

good for the first 5 minutes until you realise that there will not be anything new happening for the next hour, or however long the game goes on for. i gave up trying to reach a conclusion of the game after about 20 minutes, where i hadnt seemed to have taken any noticeable damage, although i dont think there is anyway to tell. im not even sure you can die in this game, as the game didnt seem to show any sign of my turret being low in health.

the game has no change throughout, and is just the same thing happening for the whole game. there isnt any noticeable level changes, but i did feel that there were more enemies appearing (though as i had no sign of my health, i did not worry about dying at any point)

there is a lot of potential in this game, but the main game play is what i consider to be lacking. i like the way the gun heats up as you continuously use it, and i like the dropping power ups.
i would suggest you have a noticeable health bar, and make the damage stronger than what it seems to be at the moment, because with the damage that i took over the 20 minutes that i played, i would expect to have died, although i think i picked up health drops (but no way to tell) but either way the game should be harder.
you should also involve levels, or if you have already, tell the player in some way that the difficulty has risen.
although you have power ups, games like these are usually better if they involve upgrades, which you can do at the end of each level, using money that you can gain from the kills you make. the upgrades could improve bullet damage, bullet speed, total health, and anything else i havnt considered.

all this aside, it has really good potential, and i can tell you have put a lot of effort in it already. but at the moment the game doesnt seem to have any direction, other than just killing the enemy in the same way you have done for the last 20 minutes, without any difficulty.

good luck with any changes you make

this has got a lot to it

my only issues with it is the amount of information displayed to you during the fights. i feel it would be better if you had your health meter permanently displayed over your head because when your jumping around shooting the enemy you cant keep looking to the side to check your health cos that wouldnt be so natural to be able to see both health bars at the same time. also you could really do with seeing how many kills/deaths there has been during the fight not just afterwards.

i also have an issue with the range of sight that the cpu has, as when you cant see the enemy they can still shoot at you, which doesnt give much advantage to standing at the side with the sniper with its extra view.

this has got so much to it though.. and iv only just started playing.. just felt you should get some constructive reviews rather than just ZOMG THIS IS GREAT

[AGE Darts]

haha

reckon last reviewer didnt get the point lol.

though i did think i was hittin the board quite well... :P maybe you could make this into a proper game? and then add this flash to it somewhere, like in the extras or as one of the game options?

got a laugh out of me though XD

Gaizka responds:

You know, I just very well may do that!

nice simple games

i like these games, it has a great style to it and is nice and simple. yet i definatly agree with others that it needs more to it as it has very little replay value for me.
however, that doesnt make it a crap game. who needs to play a game every day for it to be a good game?
i hope you are building up to make a game which has all these mini games in one, id love to see that and so would many of these reviewers.

['ball game' preview]

woah really smoooth

[Optical Illusions Test]

hmmm

first note
for the last review.. he never said you drew them either :|

okay my review.
i dont normally find a compilation of images from the internet placed in a flash interesting unless i havent seen them before. unfortunatly i have seen these many times before.. so this doesnt interest me.

but nicely done.. lol

Seandadj responds:

lol glad you kinda liked it :P

[Menulis]

my friends view on the last machine:
HEY FATTY says:

[Masters Checkers]

[Game of Disorientation]

MORE! MORE!

i was just gettin used to it i want more this is great OH NOES THE SHINEY CLONES!

[Gorillaz Groove Session]

i would love this

but i have too many problems with this at the moment.
as i type the spot light is constantly on the gorrila :/
was i that rubbish that he decided to take over?
also, i dont feel like when you repeat its in time.. as in i hit it perfectly with the drum and i get a yellow, yet if i hit it early i get a green, but its too complicated 2 attempt to hit before i hear the beat lol
is this just me that needs 2 get used 2 it or is everyone else having problems like these?
i love gorillaz :D
