[Rigoberto, The Yak]

Not very good

I didn't like it that much. I would like to see more movement of the character, instead of him only moving his feet. It also could be improved if you made more variation in the level design. I also found a glitch: you can stand im the chinese guys in the first level without getting hit. But the most important thing that can be improved is the jumping. I quitted this game because of that. The jump system is programmed that if you are on the edge of the platform, the yak doesn't jump but instead falls straight into the pits, and if you are too far away, you don't make it, and you jump into the pits too. Because of that I often miss the first or the second jump in the first level. What irritates me too is that you can't defeat the enemies. Come on, a yak who gets killed by a seagull. That's not fair. So make it possible to jump on it, kick it, at least there must be something you can do. And the bosses are boring too. At least the first one is. I mean, stand in the middle and jump over the samurai 30 times, and then he kills himself. What's the fun of that? Again, make it possible to jump on him. Also, make continues. That way, you can retry a level more times, so your chances of survival for the next time are higher. For example: After I was game over due to the eskimo hehind the ice pillar in the second level, I knew he was there. But then I needed to complete the first boring but glitchy level again, before I was able to get there again. And I didn't want to do that all again.
The positive points are that the yak is cute and that the music fits well. But the game has too much glithches to be entertaining. I'm sorry.

Come on, a yak that travels around the world... its that the game doesnt have sense!

I think that most of problems you discrebe are practice ones... you need to practice to win it easy... i can win it without cheating (because it doesnt have cheats) and loosing one or two life... see the walktrough... you will see its not an impossible game and the problems you are telling to me are just practice one

Thank you!

Thank you for solving those problems. It makes the game a lot more fun now you let the bosses spawn quicker and made more variation in the object spawning. But there's only one thing that's less perfect now. First, I played for over two hours ( and by that, I mean placed something on the space button for two hours), but now I collected just as much money in 5 minutes, as where I had to play 2 hours. But the improvements are too good to let that ruin my mood. Thanks.

Great game!

It is a great game. A little easy, but good. I completed it in 668 seconds. It would be much better if you included a level editor.

For the people who can't get past level 26, here is a walkthrough:
*SPOILER* U=up, D=down, L=left, R=right

[Neon Rider]

Great

I really like the art, music and gameplay, but there could be a lot more in this game that would make it perfect.
First, I hope you can give higher time bonuses for the things you pick up and the tricks you make. For two backwards flips, you get 0.02 seconds of time extra! That's nothing compared to the final time. I can better slow down a bit before a jump so I can continue to ride quicker than to make 5 tricks in a jump to get 0.05 seconds time extra.
Secondly, a level editor would be really great. 20 levels that can be cleared in less than 6 minutes isn't much. If you include a level editor, a lot of people can get really addicted to this game, and play it for more than six minutes.
Thirdly, I'd like to have my total time on the screen when I complete all 20 levels. You can also include ''staff times'' to see where I can get a few seconds off my time and where I've done really well. Because now I don't know if I did well or not. I hope you can change these things.

[Escaping the Prison]

Great game!

A great game, and I really like all the jokes. For the people who didn't understand the brawl reference: in brawl you sometimes trip, that happens there too. And for the bagel medal, click the bagels that sometimes appear. For example, one of them is on the shelf when you use drill > opacitator.

PuffballsUnited responds:

Yeah, you understand the brawl reference! I'm starting to think it was too vague.

[Pico's Perpetual Party]

Good!

I think it's a nice, small game. I really like the graphics. I also made a small medal guide for it. Here it is: (It is also one of my news posts)

10 medals, 310 points

There are two difficulties: ''Girly Man'' and ''Real Man''
You can get three medals with the Girly Man difficulty, and seven medals with Real man difficulty, including the three secret medals.

There are three games. You have to shake a bottle with the first game. The best pace is to press up and down about 8 times each second. A steady pace is better than to mash your arrow keys. Both difficulties.

In the second game you have to press left and right to lift a weight. You have to lift the weight 50 times on Girly and 100 times on Real. The best pace here is about 3 or four times each second. Both difficulties.

In the third game you have to press 15 random keys on your keyboard on Girly Man, And the whole alphabet on Real man. There is no strategy for this one. Just keyboard skills.

Those are the three games, now for the medals:

Sissy shaker> complete the bottle shaking on Girly mode.
Classy weight lifter> complete the weight lifting on Girly.
Super shaker> complete the bottle shaking on Real.
Expert weight lifter> complete the weight lifting on Real
Girly man> complete Girly mode.
Real man> complete Real mode with quite a good score (more than 25 sec. left).
True man> Godliest: "True man is with 35 seconds left.'' Do this in Real mode

For the three secret medals, here's a hint:
On real mode, when you complete one of the three games, there is a stop that lasts 5 seconds. During that time, click on something of Pico, Darnell or Nene.

[Mr. potato head Version.1]

Not good

I have a few hints for you:
- Make more than one costume, so you can actually choose something.
- Don't put the extra parts in the second version, but put them in this one. You can still change your game after you submitted it.
- Make it organized, because at first I thought the shoes were his hat because it was the topmost part and it looked like a hat.

One star for the effort, but I'd like to see improvemets in this one.

[Pico 2]

It's the title.

Because of the title, people are voting this very low. It's quite a good flash, really funny and animated well, but people expect it to be Pico. Still, I think it's really funny.

[Twee]

Wow

Great remake of the game ''happyland'', if i'm not mistaken. It's really colourful, and it works perfectly. Thanks!

[purple turtle]

good, but two mistakes.

I think it's a really good game, but on the tutorial it says about the worms that they give points, but they only subtract points. Apart from that, it's a really good game. And by the way, I scored around 3600 points, but the highscores don't work for me.
