Beautifully designed

This is what I would consider to be a near-perfectly designed game. This shows why video games are truly a different medium that movies or books.

In this game, you are thrown right into the action. You don't know what happened, but the background and sounds tell you something is terribly wrong.

Great game, nice job!

Cool concept, fun game

This was a pretty fun game! It has simple yet interesting concept reminiscent of popping bubbles. The graphics are simple but colorful and the art style really fits the game. The music is also really well done. There are some really nice techno tunes in it.

My only two complaints with it are (1) No pause button which got somewhat annoying when someone IMed me but I couldn't reply until I finished the level. And my second complaint is there is no reward or point of completing all of the Achievements. When you do all of those tasks, the gamer expects something in return.

Despite those reasons, this is still an awesome game well worth your time.

Overall, it's a pretty good game

I really enjoyed this physics-based puzzle game. It has simplistic, cartoony graphics, which is fresh and looks really nice. The puzzles are also pretty good too- relying on wit and reflexes.

The only complaint I have about this game is when you collide with an enemy, it registers the bounding box as a hit (as opposed to the actual enemy itself). This gets pretty annoying if you are just near the enemy, but the game still counts it as a hit.

Besides that, it's a really good game. I'm looking forward to Rocket Car 3 (If you ever plan on making it).

Decent Game with a Few Problems

+ Character Selection
+ Many levels
- Sometimes hard to tell platforms from background
- Enemies weren't too original
- Somewhat easy

Interesting game, confusing at first, but fun!

This game really reminded me of painting Easter Eggs (which is a good thing because painting easter eggs is awesome!) At first, though, I was kind of confused on what to do, but as the game progressed, I understood more what to do. It really made you think backwards since if you wanted polka dots, you had to do the dot color first whereas usually I would do the base color first. All in all though, it's a great game, good job!

Awesome game!

This game is really great, I'm impressed. The cutscenes and humor are pretty good as well. The actual game itself is really fun. My only complaint is the music (since it's looped) gets a little annoying after a while, but you have the mute button so that works. Overall, it's a great game!

Loved it, very Portal-esque!

I absolutely loved this game. It was fun, and interesting and greatly reminded me of Portal (due to it being a series of tests and it actually had portals in it.) I really enjoyed it, good job!

Fun amusing game!

I was actually a bit confused at first on how you catch the fish. In real life, you have to find the fish, and then be calm and wait for it to come to you. Whereas in this game, you should quickly click around and search for the fish. I thought that difference wasn't really pointed out. After I learned that, I really enjoyed the game and thought it to be fun and relaxing. Once again, good job and keep up the awesome work!

What can I say? Awesome game!

This is an awesome game, no questions asked. I found the enemies were a tad easy due to being able to just mash buttons, but the platforming held its share of difficulty. Great visuals, great concept, great music, etc. Overall, an outstanding game, good job!
