[Pong in one frame.]

lol nice concept

i did a spinball and the paddle disappeared off the screen :D

[Create your tower defence]

sorry i just wanted more

when i saw the title i almost came in my pants but after playing it i feel like an unsatisfied house wife in bed next to her pot bellyed husband.

its not that it was bad. its just that i was expecting more, it just didn't satisfy me. i was expecting to be able to draw my own enemies and towers. i still wasnt dissapointed when i saw that it was nothing but 3 slides but the pre made graphics that were so stail and bland. there wasn't even a randomize button to make creation quicker. also some people really dont have any imagination so you need to somehow restrict them from abusing the stat features on the towers. i could go on but i wont.

this game was not that fun for me but it may be alright for someone else.

5 for effort

[Piggle's Quest]

yay i scored 5300

7.3/10

a couple of thing. (1) plz put in a mute button for the music. (2) clicking ok to start the next level takes the control away from the character (easily solvable by clicking again but you should start to smooth your games as you get better).
those are the main and only real critizims i can give this flash without feeling like a big bully :p

now i would like to use the rest of this space to give some suggestions for "Piggles's Quest 2 revenge of the black dots"

- increase the level count to 20
- each 5 levels have a (major) change of background e.g. under water, volcano, garden, skywalking.
- you have a basic enemy, good now make different types.
*fast enemy
* big enemy (takes more than 1 hit)
-include power ups (the easiest one to make would be invinciblity)
-coins are so 80's dont be afraid to use your imagination (cookies, books, dolls, tomato sauce. just use something other than coins! :D)

optional
-boss battles.
* the final boss can be the mother dot who wants revenge for all the children you killed in the first game :D
-a simple range weapon attack that flies a couple of spaces in front damaging enemies.
-a gimick e.g. for your new games you cant just keep using old formula's you need to mix it up a bit.
* make a game about a scribble living in a cartoonland, he collects pencils to draw himself a proper body so he'll fit in. you can give the players the ability to add a bit more to the character each level, this way everybody gets to use a unique hero.
*make a game were your a princess named after a random fruit and your on an adventure to save your dumbass plumber boyfriend from a gang of monster turtles.
*make a game about a pair of breasts that collects milk and shoot babies.
*make a game were your a sausage who collects coins and fights an army of interdimensional beings who have stolen your precious child hood toy....Oh wait :D

shine on you crzy devil :D

[Doodle Defender 2]

nice

end game:
enemies killed:1059
money left: 16823
money earned:112223
exp earned:224395
pages comp:102

pros:
-awesome gimmick(make your own ship and weapons)
-fun
-lots of upgrades
-cheats (which i didnt use)

cons:
-no life counter
-no bomb counter
-mines are sometimes placed in unfair spots
-a replay button when you die would have been nice
-the x2 damage is easy to abuse (just make the box smaller)

owerall dispite the few flaws this was an etremly fun game for me. very well executed and i hope to see more :D

[Governor of Poker]

finally got mah horse

to bad this is just an ad for the bigger game which i have to buy :( all well its still
good for brushing up mah skills.

critisim
-the difficulty is crazy
*there were times at the start were i had to continually sleep until i had enough cash to play because i kept losing, but right at the end when i was playing the guy for the horse he went allin on the first hand and lost (shortest poker match ever).

-no cash flow
*when i ran outta cash i usually get about $2 per day and it takes $100 to play again so i would end up listen to that fricken chicken each time i repeatedly started the new day. i know why you did this, its because if the cash flow was to high people would just sleep a month and buy all the houses instead of playing poker but goddamn mate there has got to be a better way, like say a BANK. it really breaks the flow of the game when your poker retarded like me.

Pros
-the poker playing was fun on the most part
-an award side plot/game/thing great for replay value
-a mood system
-challenging AI (for the most part)

this is still a great game even if its a demo. its still useful for learning tricks and brushing up mah skills. thank you for uploading this.

Youdagames responds:

If you don't loose in the beginning you don't have to sleep all the time.
Not loosing isn't that hard. Bad players call with gambling hands make sure that you have the best hand and go all in with AA or KK then you will win.
Or see a cheap flop when you hit big on the flop go all in.

[Helix Defense]

20 slow towers 15 snipers XD

i lasted so long i should have eaten a couple of hours ago. luckily i didn't experince this chain gun problem but then again i only had about 2 max before selling them(if that helps any). the only thing i think you should change would be put some shortcut keys in because (im not sure if this is a glitch) at the start of the round all the energy i had left from building towers was taken away i always had 0 energy even if i sold a turret in the middle of the round the energy would be sapped away. not that this was much of a problem. although i did think something was up when i finally lost my energy was -60? and thats because i stopped playing to eat. anyway im gonna play some more now bye.

[Dropple]

Hooray! original content!

i liked dropple it took an other wise unimaginative genre of gaming and added a ring to it. finally something original. the controls were fun and easy to learn but hard to master (which is a good thing). the graphics were very simple but it didn't hinder gameplay and gave it a quirky old school feel. all in all tiz a good game the only advice i could give if you are planing on a second one would be multiplayer. good job keep it up

[Xeno Tactic 2]

i liked it

the main critisim would be that some turrets are so powerful others become completely useless to early on. also please make the air units come from the same place as the other units come. it really throws me off, they did the same thing in canyon defence but they made up for it by making the game around the fact that you have to build many turrets all over the feild instead of just taking a couple and spamming upgrade. other than that it was entertaining and the replay value will keep me coming back but it still is no onslaught2.

[Massive Space TD]

yah i got 19th, cockbreath, 355161points

loved it. in the next one include ether more towers or more upgrades. or you could make a TD with just 1 tower but it upgrades in many different ways (tech trees)

[Omega Tower Defense]

damn thats hard

i got up to the brain things but still died :(
