[Holly Cottage Escape]

Tile puzzles take too much clicking, and I could swear it removed some of the tiles from my inventory (I couldn't move left or right in the inventory). Not that I needed them. I never needed to finish the hippo puzzle, open the cabinet, unlock the phone, or use the weird catapult thing.

[Mai-Chan's Sweet Buns]

It's a cute game, and I like the retro feel, but even with more difficult modes and the ability to unlock different pastries--and thus, different star powers--I got bored pretty quickly. Maybe having a more interesting playing board or having Mai cheer you on if you manage to match four would make things more interesting? Just a thought.

[Fit Clicker]

Sorry, buddy, but there's really nothing to this game, no sense of progression. It took about two minutes to get to the best upgrade, and after that, there was nothing else for me to work toward. I spent another few minutes getting one million sweat, but nothing happened, so I turned the game off. Like, okay, I can make my Sweat go up faster. So what? It takes a lot more than that to make a compelling clicker game.

Oh, and as a last note, once I got the first upgrade, I stopped clicking because I didn't need to anymore (especially since there was no way to upgrade how much sweat I got for each click). After that, it was just waiting until I had enough sweat to get more upgrades.

On one last note, the "sunset" color was extremely garish and made it hard to read the text.

Overall, half a star because the game actually worked and kept me kind of entertained for a minute or two.

[WorldZ]

No stars for no effort. I don't even need to play this to know this is just UnitZ from the Unity asset store (and I *did* play the game, by the way, and found that I was right). Maybe don't buy a game starter kit and then just reupload it unadulterated onto your site (unadulterated except for your site logo and the game name logo, that is). Maybe do some actual work on this basis and then upload that.

[Escape Inc]

This was a great game. The puzzles were challenging brain-teasers without being unfair, leaving me feeling very good about myself when I managed to solve each one. I really hope for another in this (hopefully) series. I liked the visuals, and everything just seemed really casual and fun. I'd really like to see more like this.

[Idle Game Dev]

It's pretty boring, really. Like, I clicked, I got some programmers, and after the third or fourth game, I got enough money that I didn't need to click ever again. But there wasn't any real thrill to that. There was no goal to work toward, so I was just looking at my money piling up and feeling nothing.

[Flame Land]

This was a surprisingly engaging game. It was fast-paced, and I liked the retro look to it. My only complaint is that it seems a bit glitchy. I couldn't make it past Stage 3 because halfway through the spaceship flight, my character clipped through the bottom of the ship to his death, even though I refilled my fire along the way. This happened twice, and I got a game over. Other than that, though, it's a pretty good game.

Thanks for the review!
[Re-editing my previous response: I actually found the problem you were discussing this time... it seems to happen when I have bad internet. I don't really know what to do about it. Sorry, I know this answer is unsatisfactory.]

[Constant Bubble]

Not bad. It's a good game to test my reflexes. It's annoying that I have to go back to the beginning of the game when I screw up, though. That stopped me from playing for too long.

alexbrunoyo responds:

Thanks! I made this go back because the game was too short. But if I get more complains I'll change it! :)

[Final Charge]

This game was great! It was fast-paced with a solid difficulty curve, the controls were tight, which is essential for this game, and I felt like a badass flying through those obstacles. You, my friend, get 5 stars. Keep it up!

[Vampire Physics]

This game is great. I first played this game years ago, and I still keep coming back. My favorite part, I think, are the backgrounds; they all seem so serene, whether they be unlit or moonlit, and introduce a bit of a sense of wonder to the game which I enjoy greatly. Keep it up.
