Couple Bugs ;_;

In the mall part when move down and to the right, two of the enemies bugged out, Couldn't attack them and they couldn't attack me. Lawnmower abillity didn't work, trying to eat them didn't work, thankfully the floor cleaner did and I stayed in it long enough to kill them.
Then on the elevator one of the big charge guys glitched out of the elevator onto the very left edge of my screen where he continued to rise, my little yellow ally decided it was a good idea to try and kill him leaving me with a swarm that ended up killing my remaining 8 lives.
There were some others but those were the 2 potentially game ruining ones I saw so I figured they would be the most important to write about.

I really wish the cutscenes were animated, I didn't find them that interesting or enlightening (or visually appealing) So I just skipped them, I usually enjoy cutscenes too. Also the profanity felt forced, it never really seemed necessary for it to occur, and just for me it detracted from my overall game play experience, especially knowing it caused you difficulty down the line. I think it would have been better without it.

Other than that I thought it was pretty nifty, but I got confused when I could and when I could not eat something so I spent a bit of time trying to much on things that couldn't be munched, especially in the beginning. And I know that's alot of background to draw, but in the future you could spruce it up a little if you're up to the task.

Good game otherwise, animation ran a little slow but Im chopping that up to my computer. Not a bad job indeed.

Its funny how people don't change

Well i reviewed your first game commenting about crappy models and what not, then i commented how you treated your reviewers poorly in your responses. You justified it. I thought the reason was sub par, but that's life. Funny your still being a jerk.

Ok that's out of the way i'll review the game

Its good for what it is a... A rail Shooter

The graphics got a boosste, much to my liking but were still rather cheesy which i completely accept because with something like a (correct if i'm wrong) toon shader puts a hell of alot of file size when uploaded into flash. but argh the noses on the model, your killing me, spend a little more time on them if your making another ok, its funny what draws your eye.

It was like a classic rail shooter, virtua cop time crisis area 51 whatever, it was similiar to all the others including the crappy voice acting ( I know you didn't do it ) that was put in. So no props there it can be a homage and still have its own individual flare.

Ok the sound was crap, i'm sure you know that the voice acting gunshot noise, all crap period.

Wasn't any hardcore blood (completely fine with me) so it was shootiung just not real violent shooting.

Overall big improvement 6.5/10 3.25/5 but congrats with the awards and what-not, i'd just rather you spend a little more time with the less looked at aspects (individuality/sound) which i think are very important.

Good luck with Whatever

I'm a jerk, eh? O RLY?
s' = v
v' = a
a' = JERK

(I was going to do something mean, but I thought it might be too mean and you might cry. See? I'm not a jerk.)

i had a 2 and it had 3 =(

well i ahd one glitch that i found i had a 2 and i had 2 for sure bombs flagged next to it i clicked on the should be open space and boom bomb, o well good game i had fun i like it more than the 9 mine sweeper lol

Begoner responds:

Sorry about that glitch. I'll work on fixing it -- maybe after you lose, the entire map will be revealed so it's easier to pinpoint what caused the glitch. Thanks for the review. :)

[Snowman Attack]

tee hee #20 just snuck in

great game guys haven't had that much fun since defend your castle....

but i have one major question what exactly does the upgrade your weapon (not the fire rate) do?

OrangeFoxGames responds:

WOW! That's pretty cool being compared to such an amazing game like Defend Your Castle.

Upgrade weapon does two things:
1. It makes the snowballs bigger
2. It makes the snowballs fly through the air quicker.

Thanks for the awesome review, and we're glad you liked!

one complain

at the point i'm at, everybody is happy, i have all but mc disney marketing everybody is corrupted, 6 soys and 4 cow filled pastures+ 5 other rotaters i think, yet i can't sell burgers fast enough to make more money, i'm stuck at around 100-500 dollars a month =p i need more registers, my burgers keep piling up

[Clickmania]

lolz i had fun

i don't what it was but i had to get past 40 got 42 =)

btw. i'm thinking of starting a site, where did u find add space buyers.

with that out of the way for the review

fun, interesting, funny, frustrating. Definetly not like front page material but i'll go to your site click a couple of adds for ya

MercuryLime responds:

thanks.

I previously used hostonce for hosting, but I decided to go with paying a little more than $100 to Bravenet (got the domain for free) for a year of hosting. It supposedly has 100 gigs of transfer per month, so that's a great deal. For the ads, I don't have any ad space buyers - I use Google Adsense, and they have a bot that scans the page for relevant information, and then puts up ads that match.

Thanks for the review!

[Virtual Police (Stage 1)]

good game but...

well, first thing i did was read about 3 pages of reviews, and your taking the lower scores way to hard+ i find it really... what's the word, arrogant (excuse my spelling) of you to say you deserve more then they give you.

now it was fairly easy, once you got used to just clicking like maniac where they popped up.

the guns were a lil small, and dude your characters suck, seriously, just texture and skin them better and they won't. but i've seen 50 poly characters look better then that. (if your just really bad at modeling find a nice simple character model online, it may even be rigged ;) )

other then that good game, i don't know how good your as or mel scripting skills are but try to put a cover button on, you'll score way higher.

good luck on your next game

overall slightly better then average

fungus-shark408 responds:

I THIKN YOU SHUOLDA GIVE ME A 10!!!!!!
lol. What I didnt like was people giving BS reasons for low ratings. Liek... OGM ITS SO HARD. But it might have spilled over to my other responses... oops. This game is meant to be like a basic old arcade shooter. And for your info, these models are over 200 polys. I doubt you can make a guy with 50. Plus one big downside of Siwft is the skinning (cause it doesnt have any). Anyway, yeah they werent my best try at modeling. Ive just started on my characters for the next Stage. And I hope you're happy, cause its over 7000 polygons.
