[Portal: The Flash Version]

Amazing

This was an incredible masterpiece. Having cleared all the challenge maps in the real Portal I can say they don't hold a candle to the later levels in this game. A few of the later levels I despised but it didn't stop me from clearing it in one attempt.

Very nice gameplay and graphics. Was smooth and fluid.

To be honest I only have one complaint... and its NOT the difficulty. I found the challenging puzzles quite refreshing after too many easy games.

The only complaint is the character's acceleration rate. You just TAP the key and you are moving at full speed. I can't begin to guess how many times I died by just taping left or right and instantly went flying off a cliff or into something equally bad. A more transitional speed would of been nice instead of just STOPPED, FULL SPEED, and INFINITE LOOP DRIVE!

Aside from that its a outstanding game. All those involved in making it need to give yourselves a pat on the back.

Did find a few bugs where stuff just jumped around. And in level 39 I got a box STUCK in the wall, by the top left pressure door.

Actually thinking on it I have to note that the portals themselves were a bit problematic at times. Sometimes I would be denied putting a portal on a space where I had JUST had one before I died. And sometimes instead of alternating the left click made the same color twice in a row.

Music was good, especially the credits (not just because it meant I beat it)

And on one last note: I was half expecting something to kill me when I went for the cake.

[T E T R I S ' D: The Game]

Fun and addictive... but...

Overall this is a very good and addictive game. Its fun to play and a great way to kill time. It makes you think, like a combination puzzel and action game.

I have to admire the simplicity of it and the overall feel. It truly feels like you are in the animations and helping that poor stick figure along. Its good that the drop computer can easily figure out what block needs to fall.

There are some flaws though which bring it down.

First, the sensitivity for death is very off. No matter what the circumstance if you are on the ground and any part of you overlaps a block you die. Even if its you hand bumping into the wall.

Second is that the blocks will occassionally misalign when you hit them. This can cause some issues with the special moves.

Third, the Grab+Roll (K) needs some work. It lets you travel up through solid block. I can't say how many times this has saved me from what should of been certain doom.

It also will work no matter how high the block in front of you is. Even if its only slighly higher due to falling or misaligned blocks you will perform the action. This though is variable, I've had it go up three blocks at once but moments earlier it refused to go up two.

Fourth is the Wall Jump (J). This has two major flaws. One is it takes forever after a wall jump to be able to perform another. You asume that if your in a narrow passage you could jump, jump, jump. jump up the walls. But instead its you get one, maybe two wall jumps then it stops working. You have to fall quite a bit to wall jump again.

The other problem with the wall jump is on the ground. If you stand next to a wall and press J you will automatically do a wall jump. Worst part about this is that it may cause a slight overlap which kills you instantly.

Overall its a good game but really could of gone through some more bug testing first.

And just because I can, despite the glitches high score 514 seconds before a glitch killed me.

[Mini Defense [1.3.2]]

Outstanding

Very VERY fun game. Give yourself a pat on the back for this one, you deserve it. I play Command and Conquer a lot, so I found the sudden pace on this one to be very fun and entertaining.

Excellent work.

[The World's Hardest Game]

Hard yes. Hardest, no

Its not the hardest game in the world. But I will found this to be quite fun, and its kept me entertained for several hours.

And excellent job in any case.
