"Good!"

submission: Armed Prophet

date: November 19, 2009

Love the concept, love the action, can't complain about the music either. Haven't beaten a level on "real man" yet but it's no longer my first time...
Anyway, here's a tip for people who are having trouble: use the jump! Jumping seriously makes stuff easier. Try jumping while holding "up" or "down" around ranged units. They'll start to attack when you jump passed them and if you're timing's good, you can get them to hit another enemy with their attack. Using that strategy, you can make quick work of larger groups of enemies and (best part) making enemies attack each other charges your special. You can also attack while jumping, allowing you to hit enemies without being hit. If you jump towards an enemy, you can get in the first hit. If you jump up or down, you can hit enemies as you fly by. Using upwards or downwards (towards the bottom of the screen or away from it, don't just jump straight up that's useless) makes melee enemies cry and is GREAT agains the Zomboss. It doesn't work as well against ZOMG! or smileborg... But, really, against the bosses you just need to learn their patterns. Each boss has a "tell" which indicates what attack they're about to use. YOU CANNOT FIGHT THEM HEAD ON but you can watch their patterns and get in quick hits while they're busy missing you with an attack. It's easy to get behind ZOMG! while he's attacking, for example. Just watch out for the whirlwind.

"Good overall"

submission: Dungeon Cleaner

date: October 28, 2009

Not bad, enjoyed it, had fun killing LOTS of bats and spiders, etc. But had a huge problem with dynamite. I wasted probably 6 sticks trying to get at this one chest.... and never got it. I'd still be there, right now, if I had any dynamite left... There's a gem involved.

"It's a good starting place"

submission: Rage Of The Dragon II

date: October 21, 2009

Overall, not bad. However, there is some room for improvement. Before I get to that, however, I'd like to say THANK YOU for posting a game the kind of which I either overlooked or have been waiting years to see. What's not to love about dragons burning villages and castles to the ground?!

That having been said, I'd love to see some more... well, MORE. Smoother animation and controls (seems to take five minutes to turn around), more challenging levels that involve more than flying left and right, holding the fire button down (most levels seem to be over in 1-2 passes), giving the dragons more depth (character-wise) and more abilities (like being able to EAT PEOPLE), and the occasional "hero" to battle the dragon. A knight in shining armor, if you will.
Oh, and can we please stop with the houses getting in the way of the attacks? Half the damage I've taken is because I'm hitting the houses instead of the enemies I'm aiming at.
....
Uh, in case any of that happens in the later levels, I haven't finished playing the game yet. I'm on level 7 or 8 or something like that. I've made it across the sea and burned down a castle. Somewhere around there.

ANYway, good job but please don't stop with this version. Keep making with the fiery destruction, we beg you kind sir: MORE!
