[lil' blue]

Decent, needs improvement, though

This is a decent game, no doubt about that, but there are some things which you need to improve upon.

1) First and foremost, you need a key mechanic that defines your game. This game, while good, is just like any other platformer. You need to think of some fun gameplay change that makes this stand out from the rest. The game design is the most important thing in any game.

2) Secondly, important, but not so much as gameplay, is the presentation. I'm not sure about your art skill, but the graphics seem a bit below par. For Lil' Blue, for example, he looks kind of sketchy where you could've used the circle and line tools to give him a crisp, solid look. Also as part of the whole presentation, you need to have some sort of background music. So far, the only sound you have are the SFX when walking and getting a coin.

3) These are just little tidbits, but be sure to include some sort of plot to keep the gamer interested, perhaps include options like customizable controls, etc. Little things that can make your game even better.

In closing, it is a decent game that needs work.

[Enrichment Center BETA]

Pretty good game!

I loved the Portal Theme. It was a linear, but still fairly fun. In the end, I actually just entered random doors and then won by mistake. Anyway, still a fun game.

P.S. I really enjoyed the Ocarina of Time reference.

[Projectile Physics]

Interesting, but can use improvement

This seems like something that could be the groundwork for a game, but it just seems to be in the preliminary stages. The physics seem really cool, though. I suggest adding enemies or something and then you must use the cannon/ball to destroy them- Kind of like a castle defense game. So overall, good and interesting, but it seems like it needs to be taken to the next level.

[Flash Action Script Tut]

Pretty good.

I liked it, I thought it was good. But I only have one problem with it. It didn't really teach my how to use Actionscript, it just showed the code. Other than that it was pretty good.

[The Bounce]

A quirky little game that's loads of fun!

This is a great game. Awesome song and a nice concept. It reminds me of Katamari Damacy.
