[Tap Heroes]

While clearly inspired by Clicker Heroes, this is far from "a clone" of it. For one thing, the enemies actually hit you back. Anyway, nice game, it's pretty fun! It would be cool to have more classes, and you have to choose only 3 to use or something. And some sort of resetting feature is always good in these games.

VaragtP responds:

Thanks for great feedback! I have taken notes!

[Steampack]

fun and very challenging

I played this after playing levels 1-12 on the new "for kids" version, and interestingly I found a few of the levels easier on this version. Unless that's just because I had done the levels already, I don't know. I haven't beaten the game yet since I need to leave but in my opinion, this could have gone on the front page instead of the kids' edition.

vartagh responds:

Wow , so there's someone loving some difficult :)

[Photoshop Color Tutorial!]

THANK YOU!

Thank you SO much for this tutotial! I actually came across it a few years ago... well, I can even give you the date: it was on the front page, so it must've been 6/20/09 haha. But I didn't really use it then; I just thought it was cool.

Now that I have been drawing more and more and my skills are improving, I want to color my black and white drawings (I mostly just like to draw and shade with pencil on paper). However, I just couldn't get a look that satisfied me. I had the general idea that you use, with coloring under the lines-that's obvious, but it just never came out right. Your tutorial has REALLY helped me now, after these years. I remembered it and came back to check it out again.

One of the ways it helped me most was actually your little trick at the very beginning. I had no idea how to get my lineart separate from the white of the paper without manually tracing it out. lol. you saved me a lot of time, effort, and frustration there. The coloring techniques helped a lot, too! I have a different style of drawing than you, especially the hair; the hair coloring didn't apply much, but everything else was really great. :)

Wavechan responds:

eep, this is so late, but thank you so much for your kind review :) :) i'm so glad my tutorial came in handy for you :) :) :)

[My First Quantum Translocator]

awesome

Great game; it was so good I beat it 6 times!! creative puzzles and everything, smooth gameplay etc.

My only complaint is that I do not get a medal for finding the easter egg that you told no one about and complemented me for getting, saying "Nice jo" to me. You need to add another secret medal for that ending!

CellarDoorGames responds:

Aaaah! You found it! Congrats, we weren't expecting anyone to get it.

He was one of the characters we cut since asking people to beat the game 6 times felt heavy.

But thanks! I'm glad you liked it that much :)

[Pixel Purge]

aaaargh!!

Awesome game!!! Very fun, with reasonably hard to get medals and very high replayabilility! Easy to learn, hard to master, as teh cliche goes.

I got all the medals and then I was playing again just for high score and to kill some more Vessels to see their Bestiary entry, and I got up to just over 2,500,000 score, at lvl 25, and I was doing fine!! and then it froze!!! \
NOOOO I HATE THIS GAME. (obviously I like this game but that was frustrating and I'm not going to play it anymore.)

EpicShadow responds:

We've tested the game, and the game has over a million views on the net, but this would be the first report of the game freezing. It really doesn't seem possible on the programming side of things. I'm going to assume that your flash player crashed within your browser, unrelated to our game, but there's no way to prove that. Either way, sorry it happened during your play with our game, glad you still enjoyed the game either way.

[Pixel Snake]

fun

Nice snake game!
Interesting twist making it smaller but having walls loops around.

...did it once, 12410

DevThomas responds:

Thanks people are enjoying the fact that you can go through walls. ;)

[Special Snake 2]

3 hours

I spent 3 hours on level 8! I finally beat it and was kind of relieved that the special level slowed down again. Good game, very addicting.

Mennez responds:

Many thanks about your kind words!

[Whistle Evaluator]

pretty good

Good game, some people could learn to write better reviews. I got a 70% and then a 90% but I don't know which I got wrong. It would help if you could click a button after you did it to see the correct answers.

coocooletmoi responds:

Yes, I said it before, I will include it!

[Notepad Drawing Collab 2008]

wow...

Wow, a lot of these are really awesome drawings, and you look at the age and its like 14. Im 16 today and I still cant draw that well... amazing collection of artwork.

JKAmovies responds:

Thank you for your kind words :)

[Glow Effect]

it was fun

It wa fun; a nice twist of a game I like even in its most basic form. The biggest problem I had was on the level, "Chess" I destroyed every block and got all four keys but I couldn't win. I got the keys while the screen was filled with all the balls I had gotten through I don't know how many triple ball powerups I got. Maybe that's why it messed up, cause it was too... busy, trying to handle all those balls bouncing around.

other than that, great game.

elmortem responds:

Thank you.
