[WINDOWZ XP 2012 EDITION]

This was so awesome, I love how many of these things felt authentic to the time, even small things like 9gag and the jokes. I watched pretty much every flash (except for the restricted one lol) in the flash folder and the laser ones caught me by surprise each time. Really fun and creative, I generally love OS games and parodies lol. Amazing stuff :)

Kolumbo responds:

Thank you! Here's a fun one: the memes on 9gag are actual memes from the day of NG's 2012 redesign, all thanks to the internet archive! we need more OS parodies, love that stuff as well!

[Jeri Tower!]

This is an awesome game! Definitely challenging but I loved playing it so much :D

At first it kind of reminded me of worlds hardest game kinda except with a cool style. But then I got the sword, and then even further I got the mechanic that flips everything on its head and now you can platform... that was so creative and unexpected! There's even more unexpected stuff when you think you're just about to beat the game, but you can't access the original entrance so you have to take a different path. That was super cool. "You'll never beat this one" made me go crazy but I managed to beat the game in the end. Amazing work, keep it up!!

succojones responds:

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words

[A night with the rock]

I think the premise for the game is interesting, and I understood the instructions from the description, but it still feels a bit janky to actually progress. It would also be cool to maybe see the clock or how much time is left. Keep it up!

Edit: If you want suggestions, I personally use Unity (though recently it has gotten a lot of smack because the company did some stupid things with ToA etc.) because it lets you both make games if you're just starting and don't know much code, but also lets you customize them a lot once you learn more. There's also Godot that I heard has been getting a lot of praise, as it's open source and also can do similar to what Unity can :)

souptoopdoop responds:

Thank you for your honesty
I'll try to fix these problems since this was made on scratch I'm currently trying to find a better platform to make games until then I'll have to use scratch

[SUPRA DREAM BEAN GARDEN DRIFT]

The game is a bit confusing, but maybe that's the point haha
The main character is cute, and I like that there are different skins and shoes to wear. The garden itself also looks dreamy in the strange sense, especially around the border. I can't seem to actually get my bean counter to go up, even though I collected around 100 beans so far and put them all in the box. I'm also not sure how you get fertilizer or what the point of the bean box is. I might be missing something though! Otherwise it's a pretty nice game :)

tscoct responds:

Ah, honestly i should probably add like a max counter to the bean box, it caps out at 120 and then flies away and adds the beans to your score, you get fertilizer by destroying enemies, they usually look like grayscale things, you can check for them on the map

[Dino Time]

The game over screen made me laugh hard, I love this game

This game feels like Icy Tower on crack movement wise, visual wise, and honestly everything-wise. But it's so addicting and fun to play. I had a lot of fun going for the highest score and generally love the visuals. Amazing job to everyone involved!!

septicsebi responds:

Thanks dude! Exactly what we were going for

[resting in aids J-RPG]

when I killed the devle I felt REALLY strong

ZabuJard responds:

wow u beat it? i wasnt sure it was possible. do u have any feedback about the game? DM me if u do

[Doodle Planet]

This is so fun! I love arcade games, and this one had a very creative idea. I spent a good chunk of time messing around with this game and it's so fun. You're forced to take sacrifices during some powerups which really makes you think about the future so you don't die as quickly. Awesome game, keep it up!!

morseteam responds:

Thanks a lot for your feedback <3

[Learning Time With Mr. Red: Math]

Pretty cute! I feel this submission is better for the art portal (especially now that there is support for comics just like this) since there is no music or interactive component. Otherwise nice work :)

Projectpep responds:

Oh, there is interactive things. You just need to press space to progress through the slides.

[Bleeding Heart of Heaven]

This was awesome! I won't lie, this was extremely challenging for me, so I'm glad this game had continues. The fight was awesome though, and it felt very satisfying to win. I was confused sometimes, like when I got the bosses health down during a special attack but I would get "bonus failed", and sometimes I didn't know how to evade certain things, but otherwise this was so cool. Amazing work, keep it up!

CorniferBestBoi responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it lol.

You fail the bonus of the special attacks if you die, bomb, or run out of time so it's probably one of the three.

[Cat-aGun]

Nice game! I like the art, and the wide selection of weapons. I also liked the challenge, but it was more in the beginning of the game, as the game doesn't seem to get much harder past 10-ish minutes. I think it would be cool if there would be more enemies that would appear as time goes on, as well as an increased challenge, as at the moment it feels like the game could technically never end until the player dies. Great work though, keep it up!

LordDakotah responds:

Thank you very much for your comment, I will take it into account to improve the game.
