"Uh... Running!"

submission: FreakingFastRunningCycle

date: February 27, 2009

Pros: Running

Cons: That's it.

So yeah, nice job on the style points, but you ought to, I don't know, do something with it. I like the black and white - perhaps the next step would be to see if you can keep the character style in color. Nice job.

Score: 7

"nice concept"

submission: Pearl Worm

I enjoyed it! Very clean and well done. To get a higher score, I'd aim for perhaps a level-based system rather than the kinda endless chain that this snake-like game goes for. Perhaps some powerups, at least to decrease the length of your snake. Nice job.

"stick to the time-trial - so much potential!!"

I'm not a big reviewer - but sometimes i found it profoundly necessary to review a submission for one reason or another. I'll get straight to it: in its current state, this game is pretty par. The original helicopter game would give this "new and improved" version a run for its money. Anyways, the first few modes are garbage - the wall one isn't bad, but the bomb one is just lame and the "avoid the other helicopters" one is way off (the copter records a crash when my copter is way out of its way). As a previous review said, the mouse settings a little touchy, but I got used to it pretty quick so no big deal. Now, to the important stuff - the time trial mode. Easily the best, and certainly the fairest. I scored a cool 15154, and it was really satisfying to get all of those clocks in a row. I had my time up somewhere around 4000 pretty consistently. My suggestion is that you scrap the other parts of the game, and concentrate on the time trial mode. With some tweaks, it could easily become a very entertaining (and certainly addictive) game. A few suggestions for that mode specifically: a combo counter (to count how many clocks in a row), a time meeter (since you can't see how long you played besides looking at your score), some change of scenery and music (not to hard), and maybe a remodel of the clock icons. Bottom line though, if you put some more time and effort solely into the time trial game (and toss the other ones) I think you could really have a sweet v.2. Thanks for your time, and nice job. -d
