[Bahrain Racer v1.2]

Decent, but tough controls

First looking at the game, it appears to be professionally done and well put together. The graphics and sound are well done and the gameplay isn't so bad especially for this type of game. At first the game is a bit hard, but after awhile of getting accustomed to it, it can get pretty fun.

Nonetheless, the controls aren't so great. I'm not sure exactly what would have made it better besides making it not so sensitive. However, if it is possible, adding some sort of mechanism to make the vehicle straighten itself out on the road a bit would be really nice. When reaching high speeds, it can become far too hard to effectively steer, but even the steering is not so bad for the type of game (I've played worse). Besides that, the game is decent.

Fun

It was fun. It's challenging, but not too challenging which is good.

The music was good. It would have been better to add more songs though.

The graphics were great. The game had a really good look and feel to it. The animation of the reindeer was good.

The game was really great and really fun. There's not much of anything that should be changed. Have a merry Christmas!

Great!

That was a great game. The gameplay itself was really fun. The music was good and fit well with the game. The graphics were okay, but needs much improvement and is the main thing that could be fixed up. I really liked the autosave feature.

The only thing I could think of that could be added was maybe more levels or something. Overall, I enjoyed it. Just try to practice on the graphics a bit.

Thanks for reviewing. This was my first attempt at making my own graphics, so it was definitely rough. Glad you liked the autosave--I didn't really make that known, I just did it =p.

Okay

It wasn't very bad, but it could use improvement. I hated the graphics. It could have been a lot better. The music was good. I like how you put a bar to the side to control it. You should have put a button to skip the intro. It gets anoying to see it everytime the game is played. The game itself was fairly challenging which is good. Overall, the game was fun. It just needs to be fixed up in a few areas. Have a merry Christmas!

LilDwarf responds:

Hmm, yeah I wanted to try out that style until I find the one that other users and I like the most. I still need work on my drawings, bt it's getting there :) I thought of the skip button, but I have no idea why I didn't put that in, maybe on my next submission. Thanks for enjoying the game buddy, it means alot! Merry Christmas!

[Reindeer Crusher]

Enjoyable for a while

It was fun at first, but it gets a little boring. Physics weren't perfect and gets anoying. I like the fact that you made good use of the right click menu. The menu was much better than other menus from other games I've seen recently. Graphics could use some improvement.

It also seemed short. There wasn't a lot to do. More reindeer should have been added to each level or at least have some respawn. Also, I like how you made the game autosave. A highscore table would also have made the game better.

Overall, the game was fun, but it gets boring fast. Have a merry Christmas!

ChromeShark responds:

Thanks for your review, you made some good points. I was limited to the amount of Reindeer by what Flash could handle, if I was to come back to this I'd recode it in AS3 and have a lot more scope.

[Terrorist Santa 2]

Fun

It was kinda fun and well made, but there are areas it could be improved on. There were a few bugs. Enemy AI wasn't good. Impoving that would have made the game more fun. Graphics weren't bad, but could be much better. The sound wasn't good. The gameplay wasn't bad, but it seemed to be lacking something. The game seemed to be a little empty. There should have been some more things to do. Maybe weapons, levels, or something. A couple other modes could also have been added.

Overall, there is much that could be improved, nevertheless the game wasn't bad. Have a merry Christmas!

[Chimney Diver]

Not bad

It was fun. The graphics looked good. I liked the sound. The gameplay was not bad. It could use improvements in some areas, but, overall, you did a good job.

[Christmas Race]

Not bad, but needs improvement.

The game was okay, but it seemed to get boring after a while. It would have been a lot better if the enemies were better.

[Cake-Catch]

I loved it!

Thanks, Dank.

[Mission: Strawberry]

Very Good

I enjoyed it. It is very fun to play. The graphics are decent. The music is really good in my opinion. Overall, this is a very good game, and you did a good job.
