fun

Pretty good, but there's room for improvement.

I had major issues with visibility, partly due to the moving backgrounds, but mainly due to the amount of bullets your ship shoots, it was hard to see what was in front of you. So make your bullets transparent plz, or at least give as some graphics options (sorry if I missed any).

It also seems your hitbox is a lot bigger when bumping into foes. Bug? Either way it's annoying at times.

The game gets a bit too generous with extra live later on.

The enemy bullet patterns could do with being more interesting, but I guess that aint a huge issue.

Otherwise the game had decent graphics, nice sounds (liked the Ikaruga style voice), and was fun. Gratz.

moar plz

If this were made into a proper game with several stages and other stuff, it'd be pretty amazing.

The graphics, music, and boss design are already amazing, and if you made this in only 3 days, I'd like to see what you'd come up with if you spent a whole month or more on it. :P

[TW. The Purple Menace]

cool

Thought it was really hard at first, but then I figured out some tricks from the walkthrough, and managed the rest of the levels myself.

Didn't like it very much at first, but I really started to get into it during the more challenging levels.

kewls

Pretty fun.
Love breaking through the walls.

Just a bit too much grinding and luck though :P

[Paranormal Shark Activity]

sharks are getting popular

Fun little game. Really liked the graphics and sound effects. Gave me a few frights, especially when finding one of the secret medals.

Controls could use a bit of work though. Jumping out of the water was annoying, yellow blocks are too hard to get past, the platforms appear near the right edge - instead of coming from off screen, when the jetpack ends i end up wasting bombs if I'm holding up etc etc.

Stuff like that made the game a bit unfair.

Also, I eventually managed to glitch it somehow; the shark was about to pop back on screen, but then he didn't, and he never came back. The exclamation mark stayed there forever too.

Could also use a bit more motivation to keep playing, besides the medals. Maybe different backgrounds or upgrades or something.

Overall it was still pretty fun.

Wow!, thanks for the review man. All points taken. :D

[Icy Gifts]

Fun little game

Thanks for the easy medals.

The game was entertaining but I've played something very similar before.

[Bazonga Quake]

Liked it better when it was called Boob Quake.

lol I remember playing the original version of this, it's a pity you changed the name and censored the Muslims and stuff. The concept was awesome and it doesn't really work with the Egyptian guys you've got now.

Oh well.

[The Blocks Cometh]

neato

Fun little game, I've played something similar before.
I would have played it longer if there were a few more medals though.

[Doodle Devil]

elements

I've played a similar game before, but this one's much better.

Still, there needs to be a lot more combinations, or it just turns into guesswork and boredom.

A bit too much ads in it too.

[Haunt the House]

ghosts

Brilliant game, as usual.
Couldn't find all the abilities nor the secret medal though D:

Loved all the animations.
