[Ape Idols]

It's a challenging game and overall fun. Someone playing it could get into it and not stop until they're reached a certain point that they can't solve. The only thing I don't understand are the time and moves. If you're playing against other people and you're competing for a faster time, then it makes sense. But playing solo, there is no consequence, at least none that I have found. Overall, good game and good work. 4/5.

[Brave knights]

This is a really pretty game. The art style is really nice, the presentation is great, the music is nice and the game play is addicting. The story is kind of funny and adds more depth to the game, as it should.

My only gripe is the short time spans of the towers. I'm not sure if they have a time limit or if the knights coming in by the waves are damaging them and making them fall. I guess it takes some trial and error to figure out but I like the game a lot. Definitely an instant favorite. Good work!

[Dad 'n Me]

This is such a classic. I NEVER get bored of playing this. The art is great and unique, the sounds are classic, the character designs are great, the controls are smooth and responsive, and it's just hilarious. Going around beating up kids because you can? This is the stuff that motivates people to do great things.

Love you guys, man. Like, a lot.

[Hellworm Arcade]

Fun little game! Graphics are nice, the controls feel smooth, and when that DnB track by Paragonx9 started playing, my blood started pumping. I love Paragonx9.

Anyways, back to the actual review. The different game modes are nice and varied, but the first two are short. I understand it's a race against time and the point is to get the highest score possible, but it feels a little underwhelming. The third one (survival mode) is my favorite thus far. The worm is cool, and it resembles a serpent-like alien than just a large worm.

The game is also addicting, the sound effects compliment your actions but I wish there was more to the background than just a dried up red dirt texture. Maybe buildings, patches of dried grass, or mountains would have added more visuals to it. Great work, 4/5!

[Super Furio Adventures]

I give it a three. The controls are solid, everything works and the music great.

The only setbacks for me are the lack of originality. The Goombas looks like simplified clones of...well Goombas. The same for the Koopas. They all just have happy faces instead of unique designs to set them apart from what they are based on. Furio, or Mario, looks like he's naked and a bigger nose with a smaller mustache.

You've got a working game; what I suggest you do is make an original idea and apply different graphics on it to make it more appealing. Still, continue on! You've got the skills!

Thanks!

[Pixel Run]

This game is extremely difficult and repetitive. I don't mean to sound harsh (or you know, like a dick) but the game requires extreme precision with very little room for error. The controls feel a bit delayed, and the lack of sound effects or music makes it boring. I can't critique the graphics; it's good for what it is: pixels and a pix-elated world but it seems depressing at times.

I also made it to a part where it was almost impossible: how does one duck and jump at the same time and avoid both obstacles?

If you can fix it up and make it more appealing, then it'd be a good game.
