[Intruder CT 2X]

I really don't understand why this game has as low ratings as it does. It's a technical masterpiece. I've never seen so much physics interactions in a flash game, I don't know how you do it. I did initially have some stuttering but I think that had more to do with chrome than anything else. Also I couldn't get it to run on firefox for some odd reason. Really those technical hiccups are more my fault than anything else, and even if it did have more technical problems, they would be justified given the ambition of the game. Overall it is a pretty worthy successor to the first one. I'm not really too big a fan of the pulled back camera, but it's easy to understand why you did that, and it probably made the gameplay better anyways. As many other reviewers have noted, the spawning is about as good as many of the games you took inspiration from: not very good. Although it didn't completely poison the game experience as many other reviews would have you believe, it's a small blemish on an otherwise great game and really the only objective criticism I can muster. I also liked the 3D menu effects that were added, I'm sure those must have taken a while to make and the results are very impressive.
Hopefully this game makes enough of a splash to warrant a sequel, so here's hoping for an ICT 3.

great review, thanks:) i've already designed a brand new spawn system that should be perfect but that will happen in part 3 if theres one.

[Alien Attack Yaytime]

Not a bad first game at all. Although the art definitely shows you're new to flash, it's relatively well animated (or at least better than I could do). The gameplay is standard, something that may be bad for an experienced game developer, but is not too shabby for a first game. The music also fit generally well with the rest of the game. Some things you could address (Withstanding the art) are the general lack of a replay button, something that all games need, and I found a glitch where there would always be enemies still flying on the screen when I was in buy mode. Not bad for a first game though.

AxelrodGames responds:

Ah yes the enemies on the upgrade screen.. I knew sometimes a few of them would go by, I didn't know there was a glitch where they would keep coming, I wasn't sure the best way to work around this, I will look into this further. Thanks!

Needs Audio

Game is actually actually not bad. The visuals are pretty easy on the eyes and the whole game has a very techno-like feel. But there aren't any sounds and my ears feel neglected on what would be a great excuse to add some electronic music. The balls should also make some audio indication that they hit a wall. But for a first submission this is pretty good.
Keep trying!
