[Osama's Revenge]

An Entertaining little Game

"Osama's Revenge" was an entertaining little game, but not much more. There wasn't much to it, a simple boss-fight that can be completed with ease in well under a minute or two, yet it was done well and didn't overstay it's welcome. The game is good for a few laughs and is the kind of thing you'd get sent to you in an email, thankfully you understood that and respected it, keeping it simple and not throwing in tons of different modes, or unlocks, or stages in, just for the sake of content. The game felt like it should, simple controls, smooth animations and a slick art style. I can't give you a ten as it wasn't anything amazing or groundbreaking, but it was what it was, a fun little game designed to get a few laughs and kill about a minute or two, and I enjoyed it. 7/10 Nice job getting the game up while the topic was still recent! I hope to see more games from you in the future as well, the fact that you made a game of this quality in only a few short days is truly amazing. - JohnCamPro

Thanks for your review and I agree, it's a simple little game. Nothing new or unique, just a quick game.

[Lights Off v2]

Very Good Concept, Lacks Addiction Value

I love puzzle games. When you get stuck on a level it is frustrating but it makes it all the more rewarding when you finish it. This game was easy to get the hang of and the levels played out in such an orderly fashion that you could speed through most of them in a short time. It was a fairly easy game. I did struggle with the later levels but at no point did It actually take much thinking. It was a decent concept, actually a really good concept! But the whole game lacks polish, it feels... unfinished. Most puzzle games bring in more elements in later levels. Maybe certain red lights which couldn't be clicked and would pose a problem. I don't know, that should be up to you to decide. What I'm trying to say is the engine is great, but you're going to get far littler good responses because it lacks what makes games addicting. People like the feeling of accomplishment, hell if they didn't that stupid ass Call of Duty Series wouldn't exist. What you need to do is what most successful puzzles do, add new problems to switch things up, have the background display various environments that change as you go, put in music that plays throughout and changes with the environment, make some tweaked modes, achievements, and throw in unlocks. Unlocks, unlocks unlocks. Everyone loves unlockables. Your game has meat on it's bones, but that's all it has. You need filler to keep people hooked, you need the chicken skin my friend, and I don't mean that shake n' bake crap! I'll give you a 6/10 because it's an amazing concept and game but has all too much room for improvement.
