"Meh"

submission: Soul Arms

I'll give you some credit for a good storyline, but that's really the only thing you're going to earn points for from me. Honestly, the art could have been much better, and the fighting style just plain bites. If you got surrounded in a battle, you might as well just give up, refresh and try again cause there is a lack of a way to actually block attacks.

Another thing I noticed is that strain just ruins the game. To be completely honest strain rises too high too fast, and then takes forever to cool down if you hit 100%. In other games I've played there may have been a cool down feature where you were temporarily stunned until it cooled down, but not to 0%, 0% is just being unfair to the player cause it takes far too long to reach it from 100% and they will easily die with just one opponent on the field.

And that brings up another problem, enemies deal far too much damage, like I said, if you are stunned by strain and there is even one enemy on the field that is a golem or higher, you're pretty much gonna die, fair? No.

Also, at the beginning of the game the one who you're traveling with says your soul burst attack, which drains all your SP could kill any boss, which is completely wrong. After you reach the cursed sword with that weird orb you have to hit to actually do damage, the soul burst does oh... maybe 1/4 of it's health.

And on the topic of the boss battles, let me say just how aggravating and unfair or unmatched they are. In the fight against the boss ghost sword, you have to attack the orb, which is more often than not, far off from the sword itself, which just makes the sword open strange vortexes right where you are, draining your health and your SP, making it so that it's almost impossible to get in more than one hit at a time, and with your SP being drained by the vortexes you'll be doing less and less damage every time. Another thing about that same fight is, that the orb will constantly change to the other side of the field, making it so that you have to move past the sword, which is guaranteed to get at least one hit on you every time no matter what you do.

Now on to the fight with Ingrid, at this point, this one was especially aggravating, her attack where ice comes out of the ground is virtually impossible to dodge because the order they come up in is unpredictable and your jumps don't last long enough to keep you in the air from start to finish of even one ice shard coming up and hitting you. Now on to the fact that she flies out of reach, you've made it so that she can just stay at the top of the screen and just hammer us with her annoying ice attack that we can't dodge. Now on to the most aggravating of them all, the first assassin battle.

This battle just goes beyond any limit of unfairness I have ever seen in any game before, and the way your character battles does not help with it whatsoever. Once he has hit you with his ninja star or whatever, he rushes in on the side you are not facing and hits you, making it so you can't turn around and you can't strike back, making it a pain in the ass to even land a hit on him, let alone kill him. And when you do land a hit on him, he just appears in the sky, out of reach of your sword and throws knives at you, making it so that unless your back is to him and you phase towards him, you're guaranteed to get hit. Not to mention his annoying phasing in and phasing out, every time after he attacks he either phases out and appears behind you and attacks you with a dagger or sword or whatever, or appears behind you where you can't see him and throws another ninja star at you.

And now that we are at the point of archers attacking you when you can't even see them on-screen, let me just say how unfair it is to let them do that, if you don't know something i their, you can't know that you need to dodge it, and if you are fighting another monster than you surely can't dodge it because once you swing the recovery time is long enough that you couldn't jump to avoid the arrow if you wanted to.

"Honestly..."

submission: NG 2009

Seeing as how a flash is supposed to be rated on what the creator of the submission makes, and you didn't actually MAKE any of this, just took all of the clips from other flashes on the site, I can't give you a good score. Don't get me wrong it's a good compilation of everything that was great this year but seeing as how you didn't make any of it I don't see how it would be fair to give you a good score.

"You've gotta be kidding me..."

submission: Highway Jumper

date: November 22, 2009

Honestly, I don't know what isn't wrong with this game. The music is annoying after the first 30 seconds of hearing it, the character was poorly drawn, and frankly it's impossible to jump even one car, unless you do it at exactly the last second you can't make it, and if you wait that long you die when you didn't even get hit by the car, and any other time you hit either the roof of the car or the very end of it, and I looked at the background, on the bottom line of it where the cars are going past, one car basically goes right through another, which is impossible, the explanation of the actual game sucks, "You stand in the middle of the highway and jump over cars because you're retarded or something" yes, you were highly creative with that...

In short, spend more time on your games, make the character look like something other than something that came out of MS Paint, make sure that it actually works, come up with a better idea, and read up on how cars can't drive through other cars, and it wouldn't hurt to have some non-annoying music.

"Well..."

submission: [haxxy] This Afternoon

It's a good song and all but one thing that just made me laugh, no offense, was your voice, it just sounded at points as if you were nervous or something.
