[HE BEAT HER.]

Based on the walkthrough link, this doesn't accept near enough answers to make it fun.

it was made in 48 hours, what do you expect?

[Stellar Squad]

I really dig this game. The game play and the dynamics of various squad combinations is great. My complain, like many others is that the bonus content is hidden unless you go to Kongregate (ergo the 4 instead of 5 stars). I get the reasoning..... but I wonder if a solution could be created.

Are you using LocalSharedObjects to store the game state? If so, could you write a script to migrate game data from New Grounds to Kongregate... and import function so to speak? Certainly that would be simple enough. Export the data to JSON and import the same data. Just thinking aloud.

platonskedow responds:

Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately adding an ability to purchase stuff at NG is not so easy. I have to seek some 3d party soluton like paypal\xsolla for that, and it will definitely take some time.
And by the way there's a built-in option to export\import savegames. You can find a button at the top left corner :)

[Faraway: Puzzle Escape]

This is great! Fluid, intuitive, and relaxing. I'm blown away by how smooth the 3D is. I like the theme too. It's a little too easy but if you're prototyping this, I imagine you could really expand on this and have a full fledged MYST experience.

MouseCity responds:

Thanks! Our mobile version feature 3 extra free levels for anyone who like to play those as well. Then there is 9 optional levels too that are available for purchase

[ACCESS CODE: HEAVEN]

This is a really cool game. Is it HTML5? I would have given you 4 stars but the character movement speed is agonizingly slow.

gamesbynoe responds:

Hello! Thank you for your review. Yes, this is Unity HTML5/WebGL build.

[Pivot Pilot DEMO]

I really like this concept. I would have given 4 stars but took a half star because the controls are wonky as can be. I'm not sure I could offer a better setup, but it just felt very awkward.

sleakku responds:

Thank you for the review!

[Vikings]

I like it a lot. My only gripe is that I have to sit through the tutorial dialog every time I die.

SebbeV responds:

Thank you for your feedback! We just patched the game so know you should be able to skip it if you'd like. :)

[Rogue Fable II]

This is great. I love the play mechanics. You did a great job on making the more mundane and unknown aspects of playing a Roguelike game more enjoyable. Like other reviewers, the Necro class is way to powerful. Also a glaring missing feature is a way to cancel out of the game and return to the main menu. Or at least I didn't find one. The Storm Mage could be fun if his Special wasn't so limited in range. The Rogue is terribly hard to play.

JustinWang123 responds:

Thanks for the feedback! The classes are not supposed to necessarily be balanced with each other in terms of difficulty so I'm fine with some classes being easier. Warrior and necromancer are definitely the easier classes. Rogue is definitely the hard one.

I'll add in an escape to main menu with the next update (can save the game directly at the point you exit at rather than just the last time you use stairs).

Rogue might need a bit of a boost. I'm thinking of replacing sleeping dart with a sort of sleeping grenade that knocks out enemies in a small radius. I'm also thinking of doing something like having your stealth skill add to the amount of critical damage you deal to unaware enemies with a melee weapon to simulate the rogue sneak attacking.

[Tiny Heist]

This is one of the best games I've played on here. A refreshing twist on my favorite genre, rogue-like. My only complete is that it's entirely too hard.

[Smith & Smith]

Aside from the interface being decent, there is no game here. Click a button, earn gold, click newer buttons. And as others have said, there is no real explanation of the lefthand buttons.
