[Operation L.O.A.D]

Good concept, still needs tweaking

First off, there are way too many commands assigned to your left click. If every control in your comments section has the option of using your click/double click to activate, that's too many. Yes there are other keys that operate functions, but the fact that the left click can operate everything is a problem because one could easily be meaning to do one action while using the left click and inadvertently key an undesired one. 99% of people have keyboards, I would suggest removing at least some action commands from the left click and assigning them to keys.

Another issue is the difficulty, which is tied into your energy concept. I like it, but it also needs some tweaking. Easy plays like medium, and medium like hard. Either reduce the energy drain of movement/boost/shooting, or give better rewards. Since shooting a laser should be more taxing on energy, movement/melee tactics should be emphasized. I'll also accept movement costing energy, but after you break atmosphere and gravity in level 1 it should be reduced, and realistically cost no energy if you aren't moving at all in space.

Bugs still need to be addressed. I specifically encountered one near the end of level 1 where it nearly was over, the missile wasn't off screen but near top, I ran out of energy but I didn't end the level in failure.

Needs work. Since you say in comments that this is version 1.2 I can only assume you do check the game and improve it. Hope this helps you and other players.

Thank you for the review. You've made some good and helpful points. I am watching for more comments on the difficulty. Some people have said easy was too easy. So I may need to go back and do some tweaking on that.
As for the mouse controls, the game was originally designed to work on mobile devices but is still pending an official mobile release. For mobile to work for sure on every device, the game must be playable with only single-touch mouse controls. I took a lot of inspiration from some DS games like The World Ends With You. The way they can make so many intuitive controls with just the stylus really impresses me. I like how it turned out personally, but I guess I have some ways to go.
I'm sure you found my rambling very interesting.
Thanks again for the review.

It definitely entertained me...

At least for a while. After that while of time elapsed I found certain levels tricky enough to try my patience a bit (specifically the dark/ghost levels). Perhaps that's just me and my own personal patience level showing through. Overall the game was pretty well done, the music was decent enough and even though my patience was tried for a bit there, the game kept my interest long enough for me to want to beat it and not give up like I do with other games that aren't as interesting but are just as tough, if not more.

OctoFlash responds:

got it, thanks a lot!

[B29 Assault]

Very Addictive

I used to play a coin operated arcade game of this same type, of which it's name escapes me. I spent many a dollar playing it. This game surpasses that one basically every way.

freeworldgroup responds:

thanks - the game would be raiden or 1942 or something like it : - )

[The Ultimate FF6 Quiz]

You don't need to be a pro to win

You could just easily cheat and right click and hit play/forward to skip the questions.

Your checkpoints really didn't work either, atleast in the traditional sense of starting again from them if you got a question wrong. It would force you to start from the beginning. You did have some spelling mistakes I believe, along with your music not continuing to play.

RyuXKen responds:

i will be sure to fix it up then

[Type It]

It's no NG Sim, but it's half decent.

Would probably be a half decent game for those in a typing class.

Afro-Ninja responds:

I think it's obvious this game wasn't meant to be an ng sim killer :)

[Genasis]

Interesting idea and good start...

But it still needs work. For starters your Play and Rules key don't work if you click them, you need to right click.

It's kind of too easy with single player as all you need to do is click the letter with the mouse, that is until your "v" key appears in the third round. Using the mouse does nothing, similar to the keyboard.

PowerSnipe responds:

I know i need to sort out the "v" and alot of other things but thanks for you review

[_Fallen_]

Difficult...

But very enjoyable.

LackOfGrace responds:

flash games today are generally to easy

[Castelvania SOH]

It was an OK game I guess...

But it was WAY too easy. I didn't have to jump, or attack at all to get through areas 1-3. I would suggest greater damage to the hero and a quicker whip as it lagged a little from when i hit the button and when he actually swung.

Good start though.

Yoh-Asakura responds:

thanx!

[dasdvxcvcvcbbbb]

It's basically...

It's basically the same game as "Aussie X-mas" which is on the front page right now, except without the good looks and what not.

sexmafnfnfnfnfnfnf22 responds:

why compare?

Flash by phileeguy:
- none -

fucking noob

[Digdug Shooter]

could've been better

it was just too easy and monotonous

pahko responds:

maybe `cause it is designed for kids.
