[Super Mario Hardcore]

Disappointment of the year

So you're going to make a Mario game where you can violently shoot up your enemy. That's cool, just dont forget to ADD ENEMIES!
Jesus Christ! There were only a handful of them in this game! Almost not enough to try out your variety of weapons. Which were all so delicious, I wanted to kill hoards of koopas.
I swear to God, walking through the Mario void quickly sucked the fun out of everything, I kept playing, but it didnt get harder, nor did more enemies appear. The last guy who shoots at you was the most challenging.
Other bad/annoying things included: there was a glitch when I shot a rocket at some point, it just got stuck in the air in front of me and only exploded when I changed weapons.
The text box that tells you what music is playing seems really out of place.
Also, I died at some point (by falling in a pit, not by being hit by an enemy) and no life went away.
As for the good: the variety of weapons was both fun and entertaining (just not SATISFYING, goddamn!), I liked how your ability to jump depended on what you were holding, and I liked the explosions.

In short, make it more difficult or just add a bunch of enemies for you to annihilate.

[Mario Game]

Fairly enjoyable

The flaws in this game are very obvious, for instance that it wouldnt load up spontaneously. The programming, for what it was, was good, you could've made the objective a bit clearer I guess.
Still, I got to say, it's fairly original. Getting through a Mario landscape agains time? I liked it. Tho that one jump near the end (I assume???) seemed IMPOSSIBLE. And if you mess up you're fucked.
Change that, also make the tubes normal, they looked ugly.

This actually reminded me of one of the last levels of the first Mario game for the game boy. Good times.
It doesnt necessarily need enemies if you're going to make it a racing game.

Nice.

[Samurai Asshole]

Wtf..

I liked this game ages ago. I dont understand why you're resubmitting your ancient flash pieces if YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO FINISH THEM!
I remember when this was new-ish and I wondered when the next episode would arrive. I guess it'll never come, but that doesnt mean you dont want to get praised for this old game.
At the time, I liked it yea. I remember wanting to review it, but I dont remember what to write. It's pretty decent. Especially considering you used flash 4..

[Pico's School]

Another one for the fanboys.

I remember playing this in 2000 and a couple times again over the years. I have a pretty good memory and I think the only thing that's different about this game is that you fixed up the buttons. I'm not sure tho, but I seem to recall that the clickable area of the button extended far to the righthand side of the actual button. But I digress.

It's a good game, but it's gotten old. Seriously.
Is it Pico Day? Is that actually a thing? Why didnt you make something new and special to celebrate this occasion rather than resubmit the oldest game on NG. Sometimes I think you just need to hear that you're great from your fanboys. (And there are many).

Heck, I dont blame you tho, I'd do the same. And it IS a good flash and it IS well made (ESPECIALLY considering how old it is) and it DOES kick my submission's asses any day but the thing is it's been done. You're beating a dead horse here. I was hoping to see something new in the bosses or something.. Guess not.

Oh and the last boss is still kinda spectacular. I think the best thing about this submission is the nazi cross eyebeams. Tho the ninja is way harder to beat than that guy.

Ripoff

You BADLY ripped off a lot of ideas from other Windows emulators
Get yer own ideas (lol, look who's talking)

other wise alright

[Super Mario Revived]

You get a zero for pissing me off

NEVER has a game pissed me off so much! Not even that one game with the robot and the colors. Why do you die if you try to go back? How are we supposed to know which enemies to dodge and which we can kill? The movement was incredibly slow, jesus christ! Why wasnt there a button that made you run faster? The movement of the enemies (especially the falling things) were bad, they should be more dynamic and have sound. Speaking of sound, in the last level, the sound just stopped when I died. Also, the sound of the level should stop briefly when you die, to hear like the dying sound. btw WTF with the ball and chain! I stood MILES from the thing and it still killed me. What the hell? And what's with the bowser level? You fall so slow that the shells kill you immediatly. They're almost impossible to dodge.. You could warn us that we cant jump on them and fling them at bowser. I expected the P button to change the shields. Also, weird your lives can go below zero.. What the hell?
I did not enjoy this game, it's crap, forgive me.
Please fix what I somewhat summed up and we'll be best friends =)

Really good job

all I need to say..

[Life of a fish]

Very frustrating

First off, yes, this resembles "Fishy" but who cares? The best things have already been done, right? But this game seriously frustrated me. I HATE the fact that you shrink again after going a level up or something, because I keep expecting my fish to be slightly bigger but no, it's small and then well.. splat. Also, the game being mouse controlled makes it harder, because when you die, you might have your mouse pointer placed at a spot where, just when your fish respawns, other fish are swimming, causing you to die instantly. Use a default place where you respawn and/or make it that the fish blinks for a couple of seconds and is invincible so that you know where to go (like in the "Fishy" game). I beat the first boss and then I was sick of it. It's a nice touch that you have hitpoints, there should just be more of them. This game is quite hard and I dont want to train myself just so I can beat it. It's a challenge for those who want it, but I can live without it and I'll just go 'n' play "Fishy" =)

What an odd review.
oh well, you did a pretty good job, I just think the plants could be better aswell as the toungue of the first boss.
Keep it up!

P.S. The overall 5 is for frustration.. otherwise you'd have gotten.. pf a 6 or a 7 ;)
