[THERE IS NO GAME]

Fun and original :-)

[Space Rover]

Needs an English rewrite

Nice graphics, good sound and animation, good game play. The major drawback is that the English is very poor and difficult to understand. At the beginning when it scrolls by it is virtually unintelligible because the language is so awkward. That should be an easy enough fix. Maybe someone in the discussion groups can give you a good translation.

[Eukarion Tales-Episode 1]

Fun game, some interface issues

I think the reason people are having problems with "long dialogue" is not that the dialogue itself is long, but the visual cues you're using (fade out) makes it seem that way.

Fading shows time passing, and indicates the beginning or end of a new space in time, so you can fade at the start and end of a communication, but you should use cuts within the same box (even with different characters) for a particular discussion. The fade makes it feel like the discussion is over, so when the character fades up again it's frustrating. It's like they won't go away.

Also, walking to the edge of the screen and being stopped, even though there are no obstacles, is annoying. Trees are often used as borders. At times you've reversed the usual role of trees and open space, where you can often walk through tree, but get hung up on open space.

Other than that, nice graphics and quite good overall.

Hope that helps.

[That Gravity Game]

Good game, drop the ads

After the first achievement, if I choose not to go to your site, don't keep bugging me to do it every time. Other than that, fun, easy game. Makes it feel like the whole point was to steal traffic from Newgrounds with the promise of achievements.

[Sneeze!]

gross

Fun game, good sound, nice animation, easy play, and original concept. A bit frustrating that you only get one chance at each level. Would also be better if the interesting facts didn't repeat. A few tweaks could make this a great game; particularly an educational game for kids.

ChannelFour responds:

That's the idea - its aimed at young people and is part of a bigger educational project which is here www.routesgame/com. Thanks for the review!
