"Fun but ultimately inconsistent"

submission: Demolition City 2

date: November 10, 2009

This game has a solid premise providing an excellent challenge with great graphic execution and intuitive interface. However, the physics are highly inconsistent, sometimes dropping debris straight down and other times launching it across the screen. Randomness even appears when nothing is changed on screen and the detonator is hit again. This changes it from a game of skill and strategy to one of luck.

Score: 7

"Interesting concept"

submission: Mission: Midwinter

date: June 29, 2009

This has a cool idea behind it, but it seems to be too busy. The targets are too small. Still, animation and artwork are good, and any two of the major aspects of the game (present sorting, bombing chimneys, and avoiding snowballs) would make it a great game. As it stands, I just found myself doing too many things at once. While this may be part of the appeal to some, I found it a bit off-putting.

Score: 8

"Fun but flawed"

submission: CrackShot!

date: June 29, 2009

I meant to score this a 4/5 instead of 5/5. Still, it's a good game. The major flaw is the slow and somewhat finicky response to clicking the mouse. Occasionally a double-click will simply not fire at all while others it will let loose one or two shots. The ricochet physics are a neat feature, though some of the puzzles have very narrow windows of success.

All in all, it's a pretty good game. It's moderately challenging and worth a play.
