[Chaos Frontier]

Hard as shit

But fun too! You definitely captured the style of an old-school arcade shooter, one that kicks your ass without mercy. The gameplay got a little too hectic at times, especially with some of the asteroids blending into the background, but it was still fun. At no point in time did I ever think of quitting because of the difficulty, though I did swear a lot.

The controls are good and the music is on point. The artwork is great too (reminds me of your old animation style where everything was very straight and lined with glow filters up the ass) and it was a great game to play. Good work. Make more shit.

Haha, thanks buddeh. Hopefully I will be soon.

[Jump Over Stuff]

Needs Polishing

The engine you have is great, but overall this game needs a lot more polish before it is truly finished.

The engine works and the jumping feels alright. The music was great and the menu style was really creative. Points for those.

However the little things is what made this game bad. The health status and score numbers are cut off and don't show up fully, making the health status very hard to notice. A bar of some sorts would have been better for the player to realize how long he had until he died.

The platforms in the middle of the level were not a good choice either. If you jumped while below a platform you would be shot down immediately into a ball and lose health. It made that part of the game very hard. A challenge is by no means a bad thing, but it seemed brutal.

Overall your engine works great, but put a little more polish on it before you submit another game.

Good luck with future projects.

Thanks for reporting the bugs, it all worked fine on my end.

Got the cut off text fixed :)

[Classic: Ufo Attack]

I liked it

Nice game you got here. Simple clean and fun.
Look wise the game was simple, but still fun to look at. Then again, nothing spectacular was needed. The pixel/old school look was a surprise though, a good surprise.

Programming wise the game was awsome. No noticable glithces. I didn't like how there seemed to be an invisible box around the gun though where it looked like the lazer would miss you, but instead hit you. Other than that though, this was very good.

Overall a simple game that's loads of fun. Nice work.

I'm very glad to hear so! It's the heat from the laser, that's why you get hit, hehe.

Thanks for the review! It helps me to improve!
