nice

I dont know what people are talkin about when they are saying its to easy.. This is one of the hardest puzzle games that I have played for a while.

The good thing is that it really is solvable when you just take a moment and think, unlike many puzzle games which just seem impossible and are to random. If you are a bit lucky then maybe it seems easy, but I can honestly say this was pretty hard for me.

I like how you slowly but surely advance in a puzzle. you can see that you are getting close and this is what binds the player to the game. He/she doesnt want to quit because you can see that you are on the right way, but just have to put the last pieces together.. very nice and very entertaining. especially considering i dont really like puzzle games.

What I found funny as well is that you really learn the logic behind the puzzle. I encountered a bug while I was playing the last puzzle and I had to restart the game, but it took me only a few minutes to complete the first 3 puzzles whereas they took me much much longer the first time I played them. You find out the the workings of the puzzle and you can solve it easily, that is a real puzzle imo, though I was not really happy with the bug itself.

anyways great game and.....

nice

extremely addictive game. one comment.. plz in the future make it possible to skip the summary of the level. I dont care about the numbers I wanna play.

although I didnt make it, before day 20 should be possible with a little luck. ( I got nuke at day 23 while gettin all extra's and upgrades plus getting the 30k in bank medal)

I advice to invest in extra;s they will dramatically increase your multiplier. make sure u dont get hit, cause repairing is way to expensive,

must have extra is the number 2, it provides an extra bomb. get it fast, but after gunner.

for the medal addicts; Apparently I got the secret one. ill give a hint.

what flies and is not a plane? kill it with (over 9000) fire!!!

[Age of War 2]

its okay

but it lacks something... its to easy and it gets repetitive. I finished easy that was easy.. then I tried hard, and I didnt notice a big difference. I evolved way sooner then the comp and only on the last level it took me ages to kill the base, but i was never under any threat. the game is to simple in my opinion, so not only easy, but just a little simple

[Shrinkit Falling]

not to be rude but...

... were some of the comments for the other game, that you should make it easier???

if so I think you might have overdone it.

make it harder plz, and longer

[Atomic Puzzle]

nice

good gameplay, nice graphs, suiting music, nice sounds.

a tad hard. learning curve is steep and some more explanation would be nice.

The puzzle itself is fun, but not for to long. the extra's you encounter on later levels were not enough imho. So there were a bit to much levels to keep me interested. but I'll probbaly come back (assuming it saves)

nice game

KingDotCom responds:

It's very difficult to set a learning curve that fits everyone. When we tested the game at first, we got too many "too easy" comments, so made levels 10+ a little more difficult. Hopefully not too difficult though. :) But puzzles should be challenging.

And yes, it autosaves.

[Redshift]

so..

A nice shoot 'em up game, with a long story line I didnt bother myself with. The game itself is pretty easy..... actually its to easy, I didnt die once and I was on planet 6 or something. The game gets to repetetive and to easy. when you get some nice weapons and shields its gets even easier and there is no challenge to it anymore (not that there was any in earlier levels).

The weapon and shield inventory is crap. at least make 2 separate places for shields and weapons, now I have to scroll through everything to recycle and to see the stats.

redeem is a nice thing, but I never got something nice out of it, so for me it was worthless. The enemies dont really change, sure you implemented more diffrent types of enemies at later levels, but somehow they werent really more difficult.

I dont know what you were trying to do when creating non firing waves, those are just stupid and dont contribute to the game.

The bosses seemed similar to each other also, again they were very easy to kill and never was I cornered or near death. later bosses were killed even faster because I had better weapons, it didnt seem they got stronger or anything.

so all of the above made the game very repetitive to me and after so many levels of shooting and not even trying but still passing levels I got bored and quit.

the gameplay is nice and so is the style, it wouldnt surprise me if it makes frontpage, but for me its a 5/10 2/5 mostly because I expect more of your 'team' (diseased productions)

[Explosioneer]

nope

funny concept but it doesnt work.

first of al some discs are way to hard to get. at lvl one when I didnt know about the double jump I thought it was pretty much impossible to get the disc. but okay returning is not thta bad, but pretty annoying to me.

further down the line it gets waay to hard, with multiple figures who had to be controloed at the same time.

the game itself wasnt really fun and without a normal learning curve it didnt invite me to play on when it got nearly impossible for me. I kinda like the concept, but it doesnt really play well. It all comes down to clicking at the right moment, there is no real puzzle (atleast till howfar I made it).

I could imagine how hard later levels are.

I finished the first set of levels and then I stopped it. there is no in game guide, no explanation on what is what. sure I can figure it out, but it is nicer if things are told.

all in all, well made, good controls (as far as clicking LMB goes) funny sounds and okay graphs, but just a very boring stupid game sorry to say.

score equals vote

[Flaming zombooka]

lol

must be the easiest puzzle game ever.

seriously there is NO challenge whatsoever. its HELLA MEGA easy, I had to retry maybe 5-6 lvls once but thats because I just kept on shooting I had so much rockets anyway.

I say humans in like 3 levels which made it a tiny bit more difficult but comon. so easy its boring

its not originla, its not inventive, its not special, its easy.

there isnt even a hard mode or ending credit.. it just brings you bakc to lvl 1 without notice.

These kind of puzzle games I do love, but this has to be the worse one yet. make it WAY more difficult and add some more stuff, more complicated levels etc etc just look around

gameplay is okay, graphs are fine to, but score remains low at 2/10 1/5

[Ghost Guidance]

i guess...

...its okay, but its hella easy. I tried challenge mode, but it lasted forever so I quit. the game has potential but for now it seems unfinished, not much different enemies en not much challenge to it. the small fighter is by far the best.

The game could use so much more, like upgrades etc etc. The bosses are oke.

I dont feel satisfied after playing this, hence the score.

[Tank 2008: Final Assault]

its okey

okay enough for me to finish it. however its not really great, some of the reasons are below me (however I figured out how to repair in game lol)

its a bit to easy. I did die a few times, but mostly because wasnt really paying attention. Those electro turrets could kill you pretty fast, other then that you couldnt really die.

The power ups are weird since I found that my first gun was the strongest, only the last bommerang was awsome.

since I got so much coins I could kill bosses very fast with missiles.

I did like the islands very much, pretty original.

The controls are decent, but I would like a little less bump bounce.

so biggest issue for me was the lack of challenge
