[Reimagine :The Game:]

Well...

I can see you did a huge change here and made :the game: an actual game. It even has a boss. All the levels still mock the events of 2010. Unfortunately, the only problem I have is the platforming. Yes, it's a cool game, but the controls are VERY clumsy. These make themselves clear in the Super Meat Dress and the BP oil spill levels. SMD: You have to wall-jump in a place where the screen can turn any moment, disorienting you. BP: The platforms are a bit too small to accurately jump on, and during your jump, you can't move your character properly, causing you to fall in the oil more than once. Still, the mocking is good and it has a great bossfight. I suggest you stop using the Super Mario Galaxy 2D type of control,
because it doesn't give a good platformer.
8/10

[Power Devour!]

Good game.

I had a lot of fun playing this. The music was good, the levels were balanced, and the graphics, although retro, were... retro. It was a bit on the easy side for me to get the medals though, but I guess the difficulty of the game compensates for that. However, after a while it gets repetitive. Still an extra point for doing it in 24 hours with only 3 people

Thank you :D

Well...

The idea is there, it just needs better execution. The game doesn't allow you to jump through platforms, like in normal platformers. That's okay, but only if it happens with solid rock platforms. Here you can't even jump through twigs. The character is way too big for the platforming and therefore it's easy just to stand on edges. Also, the damagebouncing is WAY too strong. I don't say you should scrap it, but at least make it less. Nevertheless, the music was good, and I see potential in this game. I won't say anything about the graphics, because even retro graphics have their charm.

TL;DR :
+ nice, relaxing music
- no jumping through platforms
- oversized character
- damagebounce too strong

The game is good but...

At the end, it gets way to easy, the quick levelling makes you to overpowered, and I found that I don't even need my bomb until the final boss to finish the game. Even then, I made it to the 9th place at my FIRST playthrough. You should really do something about that. In the end I was thinking: "Are we there yet" all the time so...

[The Invisible Trousers]

Good game.

The music is good, the humor is good, the puzzles are great except for the last one, which is just moving straight forward most of the time.

10/10

This is a good game for a first game. Though you can't shoot unless the game allows you to, it's never a holdback. It also has fluent animation and a basic story told rather humorously. This game is worth an 8 for that.

but just for the Dalek at the end I'm giving this a 10

Well...

It is what it is: a cowboy avoiding shiny spikes. The art is sometimes pretty contradictory. You put in nearly realistic images of guns, but the in-game objects look simple. You tried perspective, but it doesn't work with the sprites moving up. The music is pretty good, but some actions don't trigger sounds(eg. when you hit the spikes it should make a TCCHK-AAH sound, but it doesn't make a tone) and jumping and sometimes collision are a little awkward.
Still, you did this in only 3 days, so that's pretty impressive, but it's not the best game jam entry.

MCarsten responds:

Hey, thanks for review. Yeah I tried to get some perspective, most of the all the art in this game were done by me :P so that is why I guess lol. Thanks for like the music. I'm not going to lie to you, I REALLY searched for the spike sounds as said but I didn't found any but I really would like to meet one :) Thanks again for review :)

[Emo Vs. Happiness]

Good game

Especially because it was made in 3 days. However I won taking only 5 hits and it was way to easy. Still, the theme was pretty annoying to choose a decent story, but you still dit a good job on it. (btw I don't puke rainbows).

RainbowHorse responds:

Your right, the game is a bit to easy. We would've fixed it if we had more time :)
(btw I'm sure your room is flooded with rainbows in liquid form :P)

[Bongo Boom Battlegrounds]

Not as good as your other games

I like the idea of getting a free rip-off of Patapon, and I like this game, but it's not quite working like you'd expected. The game lags somehow making it harder to follow the beat and the background music makes it even harder.
The graphics are still impressive but don't support the minor points of this game.
I haven't finished the story yet so this review could be considered incomplete, but story is not everything.

[Madness Accelerant]

YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!

Awesome game, the graphics are good, the controls are smooth and it also sounds awesome. And don't forget the BLOOD!

One downside though, it's less playable with a touchpad or keyboard only.
