[Doodle Devil]

Nice

I liked Doodle God, and I like this. I doubt you could improve this genre much more, because a lot of it is blind guessing, but it's still good.

[Lucky Tower]

Original

No, really. There are hundreds of tower defenses, hundreds of strategy games, hundreds of games exactly the same. But this one... this one has no repetition. No matter what you do you'll always get a fresh feeling, a new animation, something cool added. I really wish there were more games like this, because I've been looking for an original game for a long time, and this one is just what I've been looking for. It's funny, it's unique, and most of all it's entertaining. Good job. Very, very good job.

Eh...

The game has nice graphics and an okay plot. One thing I didn't get was the swearing bird. It's like he goes out of his way to throw in a cuss here and there, and it threw me off track. Also, the game wasn't very fun throughout the whole thing, but it did keep me entertained for half an hour. Anyway, maybe I'm just sick of the whole "Platformer with a twist" genre, but it got boring fast. Good game otherwise, though.

It is actually the crocodile that talks.

[Battle Shift]

Hey you there!

You there! Yes, you! Are you tired of losing at this game? Do you fail at life, completely? Do you just want to beat this game to figure out what happens at the end? Then switch the difficulty to beginner, and stop over estimating yourself! Yes, if you're like most people you probably thought you were to good for that. Well you're not! Change your difficulty to beginner within the next 20 minuets, and receive 20 minuets of your life back, shipping and handling included.

[Ninjas vs Mafia Deluxe]

MIndblowing

My mind has been blown. This game is great and addictive, even with it's many flaws. I'd love to see more games from you.

[Hide Yah Kids!]

This isn't a full game

The graphics were average, and the game play would be amazing maybe if you had more levels, but a game that can only entertain me for ten or twenty second doesn't seem like that good of a game for me.

[Epic Battle Fantasy 3]

Wow

I'm amazed I'm seeing this before it hits the front page. Beat it on kongregate, and although I prefer numbers 1 and 2, this one is frigging amazing as well.

[Narcolyxii II]

Ooh, another shooter game!

This game was good. It really was. But, like most games, it's really just another shooter. The graphics are great, and the idea is good too. I mean, a spider that makes you get put into a nightmare? That would be great! But how come images didn't flash by when I was about to die? My intrest wasn't captivated and I got bored very fast. And, when you get right down to it, it's just another shooter. They're all the same, and I don't have anymore patience for these types of games.

[Aeternus Lamnia Duo]

Refreshingly difficult, looking forward for third

Okay, wow. Quite amazing. The game's graphics, gameplay, and originality are all excellent. Sure, the difficulty made me hate the game as I played it, but love the game for the sense of accomplishment it had given me after completing the various challenges. Now, although it took me dozens of tries to kill one boss, and one try to kill another, I still love this game, and played it for hours. I'll try writing a kind of walkthrough for this. To be honest, I was going to give up on this game by the second boss. And after giving up on it, I'd fling my laptop out the window. But, you are my favorite game developer, and decided to stick to it. And, somehow, it worked and I defeated the frigging cloud. And then came the rock boss, and I threw my laptop out the window. After retrieving it, banging my head against a door a couple of times, and playing again I managed to beat the game, somehow. This waklthrough may help a bit, but don't count on beating this unless you are a pro gamer or have lots of free time.

Walkthrough: Boss 1: The water boss is pretty easy. Remember to have your hand on the space bar, z key and shift key for all bosses. Wait until his heart is visible and strike at it a few times. Remember, strength magic speeds up this easy fight

Boss 2: This is where most of your urges of suicide will kick in. His attacks are that he sends 3 birds at you, which can be blocked with your sword. He'll also do some strong attacks you'll need your shield to block, and hit you with his eye. But when he's vulnerable, that's the problem. He's only there for about 5 second. 2 of those second are spent while a giant block of ice is being flung toward you. Well, make sure you are on fire magic before the blast is coming at you. Then shield the ice block, and fire as much as possible on one spot you know the eye will eventually go to. Keep trying, and consider it a success if you scrape 1 or 2 bars away each time. Repeat 30 times, then jump with joy as you win. Eat some cake to, you've deserved it.

Boss 3: Now that you've finished the introductory levels that were like final bosses, you'll come to Dr. Earthsalot. He has a PHD in killing you, so be sure to play your best. Switch to fire magic as soon as the level starts. The key to this one is to always be doing something. When he's in the distance, you better always firing fire balls at his weak spots. When he's close up, if your not blocking, or not shooting at him, or not attacking his head, consider yourself dead. Here's something that helped me out: When you right click (and I'm using Ubuntu, so it might not work with all systems) the game will pause, giving you time to think where you have to attack and what you need to do. When you defeat this guy, take a break, as you've defeated some of the worst bosses in the game. Dunk some water on your self and prepare yourself for boss 4, the Iron Boss.

Boss 4: This guy is your well deserved brake from bosses 2 and 3. Simply use strength magic, dodge when you need to, and use lots of shield and sword blocks. No real strategy I can think of since he was so easy for me I fought him once and won.

Boss 5: Time for the third section! Are you scared? Because you should... probably not be. The fire boss here isn't very hard, and should take you 3, maybe 4 tries to kill him. I mean, uh, defeat him if you prefer that. So, a problem here is a cannon that constantly fires fireballs. Sometime's it's impossible not to take damage, but don't worry about it, as you'll dish out more damage then you take. When he sends out the floating bombs, kill them as fast as possible, as if they explode you're as dead as... a dead guy... Anyway, beat him and you'll move on to the Ice Boss.

Boss 6: Hm... he's very mediocre. Dead centre, mediocre. Running out of Characters so wont describe him here. Remember, always fire, then slash slash.

Boss 7: Whenever he releases a charge slash twice, not once. Ends battle quick

Boss 8: During light, click and hold.

Boss 9: You are very dead. All other bosses are nothing compared to this

Sorry, no more Characters. :'(

Shpoiler Alert!

Good game, though not perfect, and I wish it was a bit longer. For those stuck on level 16, look outside. If it's a sun then look at the clock and enter it in twenty four hour. (So a Moon as well as it being 3 o clock, then you would type in 0300, then the number sign. A Sun with it being 3 would be 1500 hours, then hit the number sign. Hoped this helped, and stop giving great games bad scores, jerkwads below me.)
