[Super Stacker]

Superb. =3

A simple, yet addicting puzzle game. The faces were a nice touch for two reasons: not only was it nice additional art, but it was also very very helpful. It wasn't too challenging to the point of ripping hairs out of one's head, but not so easy that it could be done in one attempt. The music was also a good choice.

Awesome, loved it.

Pretty fun!

I liked it! It made you think and be careful. It only took about 40 minutes for me to finish the test, but it was time well spent I'd say. =3

There were times when I would hover close to the button, but not close enough to trigger it when I pressed the mouse, resulting in a few failures. My own fault, though. Just mildly annoying.

The checkpoints were the best thing you had in this game. I would've given up without 'em.

Great job!

Pros?
~Simple
~Fun
~Cute
~Graphics/Music

Cons?
~Control

Overall?
This is a very good game this is easy to learn and fun to play, but controlling Meat Boy can be quite frustrating at times...movement in the air feels too loose, but he stops suddenly when landing. Otherwise, great game.

This is one phenominal game! I gotta say this is better than tactical assassain...hell, it's the best sniper game I've played! I wish you the best of luck with the next episode in this series!

It's a good game, but...

I'll start with the good. Great gameplay, good artwork, easy to learn, and fun.

For me, one thing is keeping me from fully enjoying the game. My only complaint is because the Z button is to jump and it's right next to the Shift key, it makes it more difficult for players who are used to Up or Space to jump.

Other than that, it is a good series.

[Riddle School 3]

Very good

Challenging puzzle game with humour is a win in my book!

The only (major) drawback is using the items. Even if I drag 'n' drop the item over what I want to interact with, it takes a long time to figure out the right spot for it to work. Bad for people with low patience.

[Pandemic II]

Pelo says...

Pros?
~Much strategy needed.
~More ways to infect/kill.
~Like the first, it's very eerie.

Cons?
~Lots of waiting.

Overall?
I do like this game. It takes a lot of strategy to take out the human race. The only quirk I have with this game is the governments get very suspicious of your disease even if it's harmless and invicible...sort of frustrating, you know?

[DayMare Town 2]

Better than the first.

I was annoyed with the first game.

This was better. The player was able to pick up more objects and make more connections with more ease. However, at some point, it again becomes unclear where to find anything or what the uses of some items are, resulting in needing a walkthrough.

To me, a really good puzzle game has a walkthrough just in case, but is seldom needed, there is some difficulty and challenge, but not to the point where the player reads the walkthrough and says, "How the *@%$ was I supposed to figure that out?!"

Another good point, though, is the art style. I found it quite fascinating, and the character design is simple, yet stunning at the same time.

Best of luck with future projects.

[Submachine 5: the root]

It's a bitter-sweet game...

It's sweet because it is a highly detailed puzzle game that obviously had much love and attention put into it.

It's bitter because it is insanely hard. It took me an hour to figure out how to use the Transporter Box (with the lone button), and some items you would never think to use in a certain place.

I'm pretty disappointed. I'm a fan of the series, but this one just takes the cake for me.

[Carom]

Good idea, poor performance

The Good:
~Interesting game idea.
~Cute.

The Bad:
~Difficulty varies significantly throughout game (first few levels are bloody difficult, but some later levels are bone head easy).
~Mostly comes down to luck.
~The -_- and rotating arrow icons.
~Not enough launch power.

Why is it good?
Puzzle games are fun. I like them. They make one think. It's a cute puzzle game with a different layout and cute characters.

Why is it bad?
I found some of the earlier levels to be quite frustrating; if a game is that hard that early, it doesn't appeal to users. Also, some of the later levels became wicked easy (Headache for example). Another problem is it's either insanely easy, or impossible. Maze, Hourglass, Dizzy, and Slowly (or whatever the puzzle with only spinning arrows is) came down to sheer dumb luck; fire once and pray that the ball goes where you want. I also was a little disappointed by lack of control once the ball was dropped; even if it could be moved from left to right by keyboard could have made it slightly better. One last thing that could be done is maybe have a higher power than 30; that was just annoying to not be able to launch it off too far.

Overall?
It looks interesting, and it seems fun at first, but it becomes too annoying quickly. Unable to finish the game.
