"Also nice"

I liked this one, too, just like the first instalment - naturally, I suppose, given that not that much actually changed.

The changes you did introduce, such as the bigger coins, multipliers and "frozen" coins all worked very well and naturally fit in with the rest of the game; I still would've wished for a longer game, but I'm not gonna complain - even a short period of fun and relaxation is good, after all. *s*

Still gonna check out 3 and 4 (and 3v2) now.

"Very nice"

submission: Rumble ball field 1

Very, very nice. I enjoyed the concept; it's a lovely little time-killer, and I particularly liked that you didn't feel the need to introduce the kind of crap that game designers all too often seem to be unable not to, such as time limits, lives you lose when you miss shots, minimum scores to advance, and so on.

This is a game that everyone can play at their own pace, without having to retry every level a dozen times (seriously, who in their right mind would consider that to be FUN?); the only downside is the lack of levels. 5 is just barely enough to get started. Why no 100 instead? For that matter, why not 500? As long as there were some variations in the tiles used, not to mention the collectables etc., the whole thing would be fun for days: simply play for a bit when you feel like it, then stop, come back the next day, play a few more levels, and so on. Bliss.

The lack of music is a minor downside as well, but not a big one, as anyone can just play their favorite music in the background, anyway. That said, I think this game would've benefitted from the right tunes.

Now, off to play the sequels!

"Good start, crappy end"

submission: Bucketball

It really started out good enough, and I would've given this a high score, but level 19 was just far too luck-based to be any good. I think I spent about 10 to 15 minutes on that - time I didn't enjoy in the least -, before I gave up and did something else.

What's the point of a game if not to have fun?

Score: 8

"Very relaxing"

submission: PicPie Puzzler

I really enjoyed this, at least in regular mode - it's very relaxing, particularly with that smooth jazz track. It's a pity there's not more levels, though.

As for timed mode, I hated that, but since it's just an optional extra for those who don't like the normal mode, I'm not gonna complain about it.

Score: 3

"Meh"

submission: Level Editor

date: November 22, 2009

Very interesting idea, actually, but it's far too reliant on you doing everything quickly, with levels that only give you a couple of seconds to complete them, blocks that disintegrate seconds after you destroy them and all that. Make it more of a puzzle and less hasty, and you might actually have a decent game.

Score: 2

"Bah."

submission: ClickPLAY!

date: November 22, 2009

Sorry. I really liked it (most of it) until the star game, but having to click on things very quickly is a) idiotic and b) highly frustrating.

Very nice - I really enjoyed this.

Except for level 21, that is. That one was bloody annoying.

"Great"

Great little game - I really enjoyed it. That said, what's that music? It wouldn't happen to be in the NG audio portal, would it?

Nice.

And I even managed to beat the par score by one on level 42. ;)
