Fun and addictive

Not the kind of game i had thought it was, but the effort shown in this one shows that there is room for these kinds aswell as new ideas and concepts, But i do like what you have presented here, and hope you keep making these fun games. Fun game i was not expecting it to be this fun but it was pretty entertaining and with all the good color and bright colors it made it for a much more fun game so i was pretty impressed, the fun level of it all was pretty entertaining, the screen is kind of small but it was still ok. Its a quick and fast paced game sometimes frustraiting but still entertaining. So as i have played thousands of games alot like this one, They all seem simular in one way or another, But one way this seemed different was your direction and method of style, so with that i close this rebiew out Great job keep it up.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
alright so this is not my speciallty of flashworks to review on, but i think there are a few things and a few touch-ups that can be worked on, But with some extra attention this could be an even better product and end result. So some improvment ideas here i suppose you could add a larger screen, maybe some bonus stuff that could save you from mistake hats and such, but it would give it some more interest.

Hard yet fun game.

Like a big task you have put together lots of skill, lots of detail and lots of energy through-out this flash, And you have put lots of smiles on the viewers especially this reviewer, So props to you on a fun game here. So cute little game here, and i see that you have won anward from this already its pretty good and rewarding on the game, so congrats on the awards. I found this game to be fun and hard, the jumping was the hardest though, maybe you can have some better smoothing or slow motion type of stuff that might aid you in those things. but as you do practice on it you get the hang of it so maybe upgrades dont need it but might be a plus. Now while this is funny in what i say but these kind of games remind me of popping pop corn, because these types keep popping up in the portal, Now thats not a bad thing, But i like that you have changed this from just being normal to something different and unique,

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So i found this one to be a well oiled and well engineered project, even with that said there are still some other clean up tips that can be suggested, and they can really help to make this one hell of an engineered project. Some upgrades might make this more easy and somewhat fun. so some slowmotion ideas some other type of rockets.

Decent

And here is something really amazing I love the effort this one shows aswell as the energy it must have taken you, So well done on this and my honest oppinion on this is that it was entertaining amusing and fun, so good job on this one. So at first this game was confusing still kind of got it though but this game was really hard even the first medal was hard to acheive, but overall i still had some fun with it, i wouldnt mind you adding some flashy effects and more colors to different size hearts and such, It wasn't a frustating game at all. Some games make the mistake of being too complicated after just a few levels. I guess I'm just better at these kinds of games. Even the name is cool. It doesn't mean much, but still cool. but in the end here you have presented a decent game.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I am always trying my best on getting some positive ideas across the line here, But you have for sure covered most of it already, I think there are still a few areas and suggestions thatcould be made, So here is what i thought. So as mentioned some more effects like colors and effects would be nice. for some of the different size hearts.

Different and interesting

People dont really take the time to really check the portal and all that it has to offer, but i personally love looking for some nifty and unique pieces, And i have enjoyed what you have done here, and really hope you continue and make more things like this one. This game was interesting and has a really good mechanic about it, but was really hard to really get it down, maybe it was just me but it was a really interesting piece and fun but some areas were just confusing and ultimatly lost interest do to it but it was alright. you have a good design and really nifty concept. that was a very nice game. it took me a couple minutes to get the hang of the controls and to learn some other things, but once i did, then it was a lot more fun to play and i enjoyed it way more. the graphics were notbad but could possibly be better, good gameplay,

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Made yourself a name with this entry it seems, I thought it was entertaining yet also amusing to a point ofcourse, but mostly i thought it was pretty interesting, I do feel like you could change up a few things for the better though, And here is what i think could make things better. Maybe have some easy portions up front of the game rather then towards the middle and end.

Thank you very much for such a detailed review! I'm working to make the sequel and I'll surely make it better! :)

Kind of addictive

So you have made something here that all can enjoy, and it must be great to finish something like this, the game was fun and even thrilling at times, you have impressed this reviewer. Before i continue on more into detail on the game and review, just wanted to say congrats on the award it was well deserving in my opinion. Also liked the fact that there was actually alot of medals, that really made it more interesting and fun, So as you get into this click and slash type of game it really gets fun but also intense, the graphics were pretty nifty, but it does tend to lag up if alot of activity is going on. there could also be a save file to continue your game, but other then that this was a fun and somewhat addictive game. I thought this was a really cool game. There was alot of nifty and entertaining elsements and things everywhere in this one, allthough you could add some stuff and cleanup some areas, for the mostpart this cameout pretty good.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This kind of flash is for sure not my specialty, But ofcourse there are still some areas that you could touch up and such. With some more attention here and there you could really make this into something even more special, Some better instructions could be in place on how to upgrade stuff, and a possible save file on things aswell.

Nifty game

I am glad that the portal can bring such quality among all the sillyness, But its always nice to see stuff like this thru in a positive way, So props to you on a quality and entertaining game. OK so i can see why this game won some awards, first of all great job on the tutorial, that was probably the first tutorial i i see with naration in voice so that alone is a great job. I did find this game kinda tricky though and that fact that you cant continue was a downer, but i guess you do have to be faster in this game, overall fun but would have been better with a continue stage. It's so nice to be reviewing this kind of game when it's actually alot better then i thought, I was really intrigued as to how this was going to play out. It was about the same in terms of difficulty as most of these kinds of games are It didn't have that much to make it stand out, but it was still good.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A well engineered game you have here, allthough there are some more steps you could take to clean it up even more, And i believe i have a few ideas that can help to make this an even more engineered project. Needs an option to keep playing and continue on, kinda like a 9 lives type of thing.

Needs fixing of medals

Now this kind of game is not what i had expected, but your effort has shown that there is room for new ideas and concepts, I like what you have presented here, so keep up the good game making. The game itself is fun, but the fact that the medals dont work was a real downer, and seems like thats something that really needs to be fixed, because overall it was a fun and entertaining game and even won an award it would be a shame tostop it now because the medals do seem fun. so try fixing the medals. I have no idea how I managed to miss this the first time it came on the Portal! It will probably be one of the most Interesting ones i have checked out in a long while.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So i try my best on getting some good ideas across the board here, You have covered most of it though, But there are still a few areas that could be addressed, So here is my take on a few things Fix themedals so that they atleast work, that was about the onlything that this needs redoing.

Interesting and nifty

Most people dont take the time to really check the portal, but i love looking for something different and am pretty pleased with what you have here, and hope you make many more nifty things like this. ok this game was different it has the old style graphics wich i like and made it an even more fun experience so nice job all around on this one, the medals were pretty easy just some basic functions, the game is fun and entertaining, and i had a good time with it, so nice job all around. So nothing is ever perfect not any flashnot even this one but you do bring alot of new aspects to the table. that make it much different and even a little unique, and i hope youkeep that vibe going in your future stuff to the portal.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
You have made yourself a name here with this one, Its amusing aswell as etertaining, very interesting if i say so myself, I feel there could be a few changes that could make this better though, and here is what i came up with today. I like the black and white graphics, but maybe as some flashy effects you could add some color just on special stuff like on achievments that would be a nice effect.

Fun game

A fun flash you have here theres was lots of great visuals and some nice detail with some pretty good effort on your side of things, I was taken back with this submission, as it was pretty good. Im not too good at these game types but this was still pretty good i thought, and it was differant from some of those simular type of games that i have played. Alright this was notbad i went as far as day 230 and beyond but it was fun, Now there was possibly one thing that you could do like making a play button at the end game screen so that you dont have to go to menu page to click play you can have the play button so people can still just keep playing without going to menu page. So as i do see some simularities from this entry and others from the portal, but i found some interesting details and you really show that you like quality, as this one is full of quality aswell as detail.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So this is not my specialty, but i think there could be a few fixes and some possible cleaned up areas here and there, here is what i came up with, and you should really try some of these out for a better product. So as mentioned adding a play button would be a plus for people who just want to keep gaining money.

Fun shooter

You have Processed alot into this game and shows the work you have done with the visuals, and bringsout a sense of entertaining value that i like to see in these types of games, And even some unnecessarily moments but ultimately it was still a fun flash entery and had lots of positive points that i came to enjoy, so keep up with that. Fun shooter game here, the graphics were notbad i like the different backrounds and some reall trippy ones that made for a fun game here, some levels were kind of hard but it was still pretty fun. The biggest or even the smallest projects are not the best ones, but i do like the little things you have done here, Its the little things like this one, that makes a game fun and entertaining, Hope to see more stuff like this from you soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
You have engineered a good game here there are still some more ways to clean it up, i think i may have a few ideas that could make this into an even more engineered concept full of even more ideas and such
