[Super Brick Duel]

Kind of hard for me to review since almost

everything that can be said about this game has been said.

I like how you added a training mode. I didn't use it much, but it's something that isn't usually included in pong styled games. It was something I could appreciate.

I'm gonna agree with the other reviewers about the FourPlay mode, it was pretty cool. The main issue I had with it was that there wasn't a "Play against cpu" mode. It would've been cool to play with other people, but I didn't have other people here so a cpu version would've been great.

The single player was ok and I like how you tried a different approach with the AI, that was actually cool that the cpu would try more realistic things. An "extreme" mode where the cpu had a slight speed boost in addition to the "hard" mode cpu's AI would've been cool too.

Overall, a decent game, but you need to work harder. I read your responses to the other reviews and I understand why you didn't work harder on this, but I wish you would've had more motivation. You have alot of potential.

Kind of hard to me to make a response when what I want to say is in other responses
Overall, I think I did work extra hard on this, I just took for granted that the way the game works is fun enough, when it isnt
Motivation did vanish after a while, I just found really that flash isnt my thing, I'll certainly keep flash installed and do something from time to time, but its not my life how it once was (you know, every ng noob, wants to code for nintendo or animate for pixar, thats not what I want anymore, and as a hobby, Im not gonna force myself to make something perfect, most of all, it should be fun for me)

Thanks for the review!

Not bad.

I think the best things about this game are the excellent grahics and the cut protagonist. not the cutesy I've seen, but he's still pretty cute.

As others have said, the gameplay isn't the most original idea, but I personally think you pulled it of relatively well. The mechanics are really common in this type of game, but the level designs you have are the things that help the gameplay out the most.

I like your choice of music, but the loop gets a little repetative after a while. Maybe you could've benefitted by changing the song every 10 levels or so?

Overall, Good graphics, decent gameplay and song, fun game for the most part. Good job!

I understand that one track can get repetitive, but I have to also keep in mind the filesize and going over 4mb already I didn't want to add more file size. At least there's the mute button :). Thanks for your review.

[I Want Your Blood!]

Meh...

It's not the worst quiz game I've played, but it is low quality.

I do kind of think that it was nice that you want to convince people to do something nice, but this wasn't all that convincing to me. Actually, it made giving blood seem like a long, tedious process.

One thing that really bugs me is how unfitting the music and Halloween theme is to the point you were trying to get across. It would've worked for a quiz with more Halloween questions, but it just doesn't work when trying to convince people to donate blood.

Choosing answers was annoying a lot of the time since I kept trying to click the words, but you can only click the right side of the words. You should've put the words in like a box so we can just click the box. Like in The Impossible Quiz.

Overall, not bad, but no that good.

If just one person said "actually, I AM going to go and give blood (and meant it) I would be happy- I don't ecpect you all to be swept into it. However, since I have left you with that tedious impression, let me first assure you that GIVING blood is a very streamlined and efficient process if you help them to help you. You can phone and book an appointment; once you have given blood, they will post you a form you can fill in before you arrive and they can have you in and out in less than half an hour a lot of the time.

The Halloween theme was always going to be controversial, but I wanted the thing to be funny and memorable as well as informative and I had all that material, such as Earthdragon's ding-dong sequence to use! I wasn't going to put in Halloween questions because we have already DONE a Halloween quiz.

A, the hit area- a tough one this- Skaijo told me in a previous quiz extend the hit area from the buttons, to over the text, so I did in the next quiz, whereupon a reviewer complained that the hit area stretching out over the rest of the text was annoying for someone searching for e- eggs. Can't please everyone, but I will bear your comments in mind. Thank you for the detailed review.
