[Village Defense]

Average

Music during the preloader = big no-no. There's no depth to the game; what you see is what you get. There are no upgrades, no additional levels etc.

Jedimace1 responds:

Oh, I didnt even notice the music in the preloader. Easy fix.

[Battalion: Skirmish]

Short

But sweet. It was like Fire Emblem and Z together. I just wish there was more to it :(

urbansquall responds:

This is just a teaser level. The full game is coming soon!

[Ultimate Tactics]

Not Bad

Slow as hell but it's not TOO bad for an RPG. Some of the game features are redundant, i.e. paying for the inn when free recovery is at the old guy's house lol. The lockpick is pretty cool though.

likwidgames responds:

Actually, you are unable to stay for free at Grandpa's house after the first town/inn is unlocked.

[Da Pink Knight]

Annoying

The medals piss me off. 6 ground spins? 6 air spins? Sure, that'd be cool, except I don't know how to do either of them. Oh wait, there's a "certain rhythm" to it. That explains a lot, really. After a frustrating 20 minutes trying to work out the "certain rhythm", I find button mashing works perfectly. My reward is to find that when you attempt any consecutive spin combos, the boss turns on his giant spin attack, raping you in the middle of your second combo. All this ass kicking isn't doing wonders for my blue shield bar thingy. Oh fuck, now it's empty! Hey, there's an animation of a finger pressing a red button. I better press the button! Wait, which button? I'll try hitting them all. *Seconds later* hey, none of these buttons seem to be doing anything. Oh wait, I wasn't meant to press anything. Man I'm an idiot. I should have known that the little button animation was actually warning me NOT to press anything!

Great artwork, but fuck the gameplay.

MindChamber responds:

you can hit "any" button to mash out of a dizzy, I didnt think that was so hard to understand, and to get the ground spinning medal, try making sure you are close when the boss is dizzy. and no you cant button mash the air spin, because you bounce up a few section before coming back down and thats when you hit.

sorry you didnt like the game.

[In Utero]

Cool

The aborted medal should be worth a million points lol. I went bloody insane trying to get it. Which brings me to the main criticism: there's no replay button. No way of getting back to the menu. No pause button, no mute button. Very irritating. Good challenge though, and the graphics were cool.

FetusFulp responds:

yeah, i get whatcha mean about the replay button. k.
