"Almost Excellent!"

submission: RetroShoot

date: April 13, 2009

The gameplay on this was great, exciting, addictive, easy to play.
All it lacks are those little touches - volume control for one - I want to be able to turn that music OFF!
My other gripe is the loss of control if your mouse leaves the playing area - when you suddenly realise that's what's happened and move back into play you're suddenly moving just where you don't want to.
Apart from that, a great game and lots of fun.

Score: 2

"Dull!"

submission: Black Jack Card Game

date: March 27, 2009

Very slow interface, I was bored after two hands.
The first hand I got blackjack which paid even money - should be 3:2.
Second hand I got blackjack again, which the game gave as a push against 21 (K-5-6) - should have been a win at 3:2 again.

Score: 7

"Enjoyable, needs a little extra"

submission: Blackjack Gold

date: March 26, 2009

You asked for comments on the sound - in this kind of game, shorter is better - the echoing, "bibbly" sound after a hand starts to grate after a while, and the card dealing sound is more like a sword being drawn - make it snappier!

Apart from that my only criticism is the inability to split 10s/pictures - although (and all those that have complained about doubling should take note) this may be that the rules are different where you play.

Score: 4

"Poorly executed and flawed"

submission: Fun Blackjack

date: March 26, 2009

Basically, this is pontoon, not blackjack - the rules of blackjack are not correctly applied - when I equalled the dealer's score I lost, it should have pushed (drawn) and when I won I got double my stake ...
The sound effects and music get very irritating very quickly.
The table is layed out like a multi-hand casino table, but the 5 boxes remind me of the 5-card trick rule in pontoon.

Animations are nicely done, but this feels like a casino game written by someone who's never been in a casino - if the rules and sounds were updated, the ability to split added and the double option only available when it should be this would be a much better game.

Score: 8

"Simple, fun, enjoyable"

submission: Zelda: Lampshade

date: March 25, 2009

I enjoyed this, not too large but big enough to give decent playing time. Being notably awful at this style of game I was happy to find one that I could finish without resorting to a walkthrough, and without i being so simple as to be boring :)
Nice work

Score: 9

"Varied, Challenging and Fun"

submission: Knightfall

date: March 24, 2009

What else can you add to that, really? A nice twist, literally, and a good mixture of puzzle and action. Straightforward enough to allow novices to jump straight in, and challenging enough to keep you playing ...
