[The Insanity]

i liked this game

this game is pretty awesome and the audio is mean. However, it's not as scary as i expected since the monsters are still photos or pictures and in fact looked cheesy. Still the twist at the end is very good and i certainly didn't expect it.

*SPOILERS*

Tips about the machine

When the game starts, you will notice there are two buttons on the left and right. The objective is to prevent the saw from reaching your arm at all cost and I really mean ALL COST. Once it reaches the arm, its Game Over. When the saw is approaching from the left, click on the left button to push it back from the arm BUT the saw will come from the right side and you must quick to click on the right button to prevent it from reaching your arm and the saw will go to the left side and vice versa. Once 30 secs passed, you win!

[Warfare 1944]

A fair review

I have played the full version in armorgames and i have quite a few criticism to make, so as to make the game better.

1. The campaign can be very frustrating at times, seems to me that the enemies are able to come in numbers that are thrice of mine own forces size and my troops get RAPED, even Eisenhower, will not be able to command the troops to victory.

2. Another grouse is the flanking system. Whereas it's an improvement from Warfare 1917, where troops just go center, the unrealistic part is that despite outflanking the enemy, i can't win yet, which doesn't make sense at all, since most battles are won where the invaders outflank the defenders.

3. One of the upgrades allows you to train riflemen at a cheaper price, which i feel its pointless since riflemen are already dirt cheap, i feel that the reward should be giving a price discount for assault teams since they are more effective and better than riflemen.

4. Grenades should be a must, since every soldier carries it to battle. Maybe make the assault team lob grenades once in a while?

5. Bazooka teams are quite decent at dealing with tanks, will be better if there are two soldiers carrying bazookas.

6. Air support should also include dropping bombs so that it can deal with tanks as well.

7. I prefer the old mortar system, where you can call in mortar easily, instead of training mortar men.

8. Since WWII has much early urban warfare, why not put alleys between buildings where bazooka teams can fire at tanks effectively instead of hiding behind direct cover where tanks can blast you apart.

9. For the next game: please make a Korean War, since its the most forgotten war in the 20th century.

Other than that, GREAT GAME!

[An Eerie Purple Glow]

quite well done

Only criticism i have is the cover page because the "next" button is not obvious enough. Maybe you should make it bigger and instead of people moving the cursor to find the damned arrow, just make it stay there as and no need to move the cursor over an area to find the arrow. Sorry about the vague explanation here since i don't use Flash. :P

u saved me a lot of time, when the time comes i can just copy and paste this onto my walk through page. i hope u enjoyed the game, u must have tho to take the time to do this :)

[Insantatarium]

Great game!

Only complaint that it was too short. The color puzzle part was tricky probably cause i did not really know my colors. At least you bother to protect the game from people who just press TAB to know what to click. The plot seems to start out dark, with Santa in an eerie room wondering who kidnapped him, but the end part was shocking but in a way, ridiculous. Smoking weed is supposed to make you 'high', as in feel like you are in paradise, not suddenly dream of being kidnapped. LOL

Well let's hope Santa can kick the habit just like how Obama has recently quit smoking. :D

[Raid Gaza!]

it's kinda good

The game is good in terms of graphics which are smooth. The game commentary is pretty funny and makes the Israelite sound sadist. Only problem is that the game is not challenging enough and too short. Other than that, keep up the good work. My political view? Just stop this bloodshed once and for all. War is never fun and glorious as portrayed in movies, war is filled with sorrow and that's why ppl always avoid wars. This world is in deep shit already.

[Caveman Run]

It was quite ok

My complaint is that your game went way TOO FAST for players to start with. Maybe you can slow down the game just a little or set difficulties (easy, normal, hard) as your game may be too discouraging for noobs to continue playing. Good thing is the game graphics is excellent and the gameplay is good, with no glitch at all

[Warfare: 1917]

Best war game so far

I loved the game and it kept me hooked for 2-3 hours, due to its awesome graphics and simple but addicting gameplay. Good, still certain improvements need to be made.

- Increase the damage the assault team can do to tanks, I find them at most a little useful against tanks but not strong enough.

- Decrease the range of the sniper cause his range is far TOO long, he can take out a whole trench by himself.

- The officer abilities can be added to make him more useful instead of just adding morale or damage bonus which the effect cannot be seen in the first place. Maybe make the soldiers fire at a faster rate when there are officers nearby or if the officer charge with them, make them invulnerable a few times? Most of the time, I can win the battles w/o officers. This is just my opinion though.

- In the next game, maybe you can add like buildings like underground trench bomb shelter or a room that can protect you from gas attacks.

- Please, don't give a half-assed game to NG while putting the full game in Armor Games. We know Armor Games is a flash-game juggernaut, so just put the full versions on both sites and this way we will visit Armor Games cause we liked it, not because we are forced to go there just to play the full game. Newgrounders know Armor Games are great.

Other than that, you get a 10.

[The Last Piece Of Cake 2]

better with instructions and guide

Well it was very like the original with a Halloween twist, great concept. But there are flaws:

-no instructions at all

-the cake is slightly too small to block the zombie attacks

-there should be a difficulty setting

-the game is too hard and can be improved by making the cake block the full attack instead of a specific area like the original

Liked the intro, t was kinda frightening especially if watched at night and the zombie dad concept is interesting. Hope to see a better flash next time!

KyleRoberts responds:

I agree, the instructions need work. But the controls are simple: click to attack, and space to block. You just have to watch.

And I obviously need to illustrate better...that's not cake, it's supposed to be a trash can lid that you're protecting yourself with. Yeah, I know....lol
