This was a good game, but it could be improved...

I like games like these, they give you a sense of control about everything. However I think you could add some small changes. Here is what I think:
Remove the arrows pointing to everything. They show the player exactly wher to go meaning there is no mystry as to where to click or look at.
Another idea could be if you just add items in the room that don't do anything, but lead the player off E.G thinking he has to go to this place instead of the other.
Have a look at other games like this and I'm sure you can get some inspiration. Hope I helped :)

I like those ideas. In the second one. Istead on arrows, I might have things that when you roll over an object or door, it will highlight itself and I like the idea of leading away the player. I'll definatly try that in the second game.

Nice ideas. Thanks for your ideas and your review. :)

Well. This was dissapointing.

"Instead of presenting the user with a series of tasks needed to be completed in order to progress, the user is able to roam freely from environment to environment. This created the necessary setting to allow users to easily notice the various audio and visual effects caused by their interactions, which is what Echogenesis is all about."
So.... Let me tell you what is false and what is true in this little piece.
Yes, you can go to 5 unique enviroments. Thats about it. There are few 'audio and visual effects' that are worth mentioning. Im can see what your trying to do here. Your trying to make a game where the player is 'God' and can change things at his will. Make the world what he/she wants it to be. Its an great idea and should be amazing! Theres just one small problem.

You have utterly failed to make such a game. The most changable thing I found that not anybody can do is give that deer antlers. Oh' and you can destroy them too! Wow. Sorry but this ain't what I was hoping for. I hope that one day some one will take this idea and do it instead of make somthing vaugly like it.

Sorry. You have FAILED.

[Boxhead :The Rooms]

Wow.

I can't believe how long this game had me for! What, about two or three hours I think it was! This is amazing! The wierd thing is, I don't know why! Its like Halo (the best shooter in the WORLD!). I don't quite know WHY its so damn good; it's just like any other shooter. But there is somthing in there that just makes it AMAZING. And I think your game has got that little something. Stick a story mode in there, a few more weapons, and I would love it even more. One last message to everyone before I sign off.

This game has been compared with Halo, the best shooter in gaming history if you ask me and most others. Halo is amazing. THIS. IS. AMAZING!!

Sorry, a bit over the top there.

P.S: I know that Halo has been mentioned quite a bit. Just to confirm I would like to say that I LOVE Halo. That is all.

seantcooper responds:

I love Halo also, kmow exactly what you mean. Next version will rock compared to this one!

[Halo Shoot Em Up]

What the hell?

That was stupid. It was less than avarage even! The shotgun souned like some one had farted. And whats up with the arms? Some skinny bloke in a green sweater? Master Chiefs new look?

This isn't Halo. Halo is good. This is just crap.
BLAMMING TIME!

[Skirmish - Game]

I love it! But theres somthing missing...

I thought this game was amazing (how you able fit THIS into 314Kb I will never know!) but there is somthing missing...
Story Mode!
I think this game would be pretty good if it had a story mode too. Just certain missions and such. I also think you chould get ammo and weapons as you progress. Also, make the sword a little weaker and the other weapons a little stronger as they are a bit too hard to use.

[Paintball - The Game]

Totaly pointless - You gotta love it!

I thought this game was very inventive, and the music went with it well. I don't know what it has got to do with paint ball (using uop a pefectly good name! Humph!) but it is very good. I would like to be able to send in my own 'mazes' (or whatever you call them) though.

Keep it up! :)

[Fight Me!]

Me like!

I think you have made a very succesful Flash here! However the difficulty is strange. Its as if it goes from 'very easy' to 'easy' to 'mega hard'! Though I have got his health down to 70! :) The graphics I put two because, lets face it, you didn't draw that did you? Though I did like the made up writing, I thought it was quite detailed for a few letters! The sound is decent too, I think you made a good choice! And if you ask me, it is pretty funny watching someone dance aroyund with a scarf round there head! LOL! Anyway, thanks for that, and I hope to see mmore in the future!

heehee

[Angel Bothorius]

Not great...

I thought this was a pretty good concept for a game. However, I think there are some important things that you have missed:
1. Voice acting: My advice is this: If you can't do it properly, don't put it in. Make the words louder and clearer if you want it to work properly.
2. Jumping: I found this game VERY annoying as you couldn't jump in mid-air. Yes, I know it is impossable, put I think you should be able to jump higher, and in mid-air when you get enough feathers.
3. Enemies: There wern't any. Thats the problem. #And you need enemies for a succesfull platformer. Maybe have little devils and bats trying to stop you getting back to heaven.
4. Power-ups and that sort of thing: The name says it all.

I think if you follow as many of these suggestions as possable you will get a winner. Just because your flash got onto the front page doesn't mean it doesn't need any work!

[Punk-o-matic]

Wooooot! So simple, yet amaing!

I love this game evey time I play! I think it is amazing! It's also quite funny (click EVERY link!) and the graphics are pretty damn good, even though its not about graphics. However, what would make this game even MORE amazing would be a keyboard and maybe some vocals (supposing that would work). PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEASE make another one and use as many suggestions as possible. I love it!

BTW heres my song. I think you'll like it but the bit right at the end isn't great (Note to Noobs: put this in to the box at the bottem of the load box.) : ------0---0------2---2---2---2-------------0-------3-------

I loved this game!!

This game is amazing! I love the gameplay and the puzzles are intresting. I can't wait to see what happens next, but what I think would be cool would be a story line, so you know WHY your in this strange place, watching these wierd box people do stuff. Maybe you could try putting one in the next one. Anyway, until then, keep up the great work. :D
