[Find Sneaky Haunted House]

How on Earth are you supposed to figure out the order of the colors?

[Vilmonic Lite]

My trowel wouldn't give me any dirt during the tutorial, because it thought I hadn't made the trowel yet.

bludgeonsoft responds:

I'll check that out, thanks.

[RC Land - Quadcopter FPV]

This is easily one of the best 3D browser games ever. It deserves a much higher score.

I guess people are rating it badly because they find it difficult to control. Which is sad, because games are so often scrutinized for one little thing and the rest of the game is disregarded because players can't see past the flaws.

I do have some gripes. I wish there were hotkeys so that you didn't have to click continue. I wish there was a way to restart the level, rather than going back to the menu. And I wish you didn't lose the money you got on the level if you die. But I can't deny all the incredible things about this game.

Now I am preparing for publication Multirotor Sim. I think you'll like it)

[THERE IS NO GAME]

I actually tried goat as my first word. Since it worked, I just assumed every word would work. I thought it would be like Scribblenauts.

[Ribbitation]

If you have a game where you can't jump, why make the character a frog?

Most of these puzzles are designed to be tedious more than hard, but the last level was a fairly good puzzle.

But most importantly, why did you make all the text as hard to read as possible? When I first started the game, all I saw was the blue walls, so I thought the game was glitching out. The same thing happened in level 13.

[Decepticide]

What NES games are you playing that are 15 minutes long?

Anyway, it would be nice if it prompted you to make sure you wanted to reset the game because I lost my progress trying to reload my gun with R.

The game eventually froze after I killed a purple enemy that had followed me from one room to another. I lost even more progress that time. Not giving this game another chance.

Joben7 responds:

I was trying to say short but difficult, I'll change it to be more clear.

Noted, I'll change the reset button next patch, maybe to B for back to beginning.

About the freeze, I have no idea what could cause it, over the last month I've been making it I've never had one and on the site the several times I've played through never had one either, sorry.

I'm thankful you took the time to review though, hope you enjoyed it at least a little.

[Get In The Hole]

Is there a way to win? I played through it twice, and got the same ending both times that happens when your fridge breaks open.

[Do Not Trust This Game]

I understand that this is supposed to be a "bullshit" game, but it's clearly also meant to be played and beaten. So once you get past the point where you know what all the obstacles do, it's just a regular platformer. It's way too easy for one enemy to kill you by hitting you over and over again. Sometimes it seems like you get your moment of invincibility, but it doesn't feel consistent.

[The Green Kingdom]

Suffocate your enemies with this strategy: http://oi61.tinypic.com/28utjxt.jpg

It's actually a great way to get gold if you have the landlord upgrade, and it gives you even more gold if you have the assassin upgrade.

I dominated the later levels by just filling up the whole map with towers.

Nice game. Felt like another boring half-assed clone at first, but it turned out to be inspired and original. Good enough to keep me playing to the end. I got all the awards, but I'm not going to bother getting all the stars because some of those stars are just obnoxious.

[Astral Guard]

No spell hotkeys? Really?

Also, how does it calculate your accuracy? Does it count as a miss if you hit a monster and your shot doesn't kill it in one hit? I literally made sure I didn't miss once, and it still said I only had 79% accuracy.
