[Why this?]

*Spoiler Alert?*

While this game does have an interesting sad mood to it it feels like this "idea" would be more suited for a medium like a short movie as opposed to a game.
I mean, you don't really PLAY at all, there aren't any decisions to make. You just hold down "D" and tap "W" once in a while.
It also felt like it didn't really build up to anything, the story told isn't very deep and the way your character moves makes the cliff jump feel very undramatic.
You just keep on waddling right on off.

In summary, I thought that the mood was good but the second half of the game didn't really add much and it wasn't much of a "game".

[2D Physics Tutorial]

Pretty good

It's a good explanation of basic physics.

My only real criticism is the way you handled the circles radius (by adding an invisible outline to all other objects), I just found that this was a very in-elegant solution because it only works as long you only have 1 sphere (or more if they ignore each other).

Apart from that , very nice tutorial.

[Achievement Unlocked]

Awesome game!

Got it in 191 seconds :P

[Arcade Shooting Gallery]

Not bad for a first submission

Here are the things I think you should try to fix/change:

1. You get 50 points if you shoot the guy that has his hands up, is this a bug?
2. Enemies spawn in a very predictable pattern, try to add a bit more variation.
3. There is one white strip on each side on screen, I assume this was a formating issue.
4. Bullet holes stay from level to level.
5. Bullet holes spawn on top of everything else (Enemies and cars). If you are creating them with the "duplicateMovieClip" fuction I know it can be problematic to get them in the right layer, but its not impossible.
6. I found the "Play Again" button hard to read, but that might just be me.

PlaygroundOP responds:

Addressing your comments in order:
1. Not a bug, just forgot to put a weapon in hand. I'll probably end up making him subtract 50 points.
2. I'll definitely look in to that code.
3. Just forgot the size of the game when I uploaded it.
4. Will add coding to reset the level.
5. Will work on that.
6. Yeah, that font was a bad idea.

Thanks for the tips!

[Demolition City 2]

This game is over-rated

Its still kinda fun to play, but I dont like the fact that bombs instead of exploding just delete a small section of the block that they are on.

Demolition city 1 was a lot more fun.

[T E T R I S ' D: The Game]

Pretty good

I find this game is fun to play and addictive.

But what really bugs me about it is that it contains so many small bugs.
Leaving me with the impression that not a lot of effort was put into making this game.

So in short: Great game, but fix the bugs

[Ricochet Kills]

Ok, but repetitive

Its kinda fun to play for the first few levels but then gets really boring because nothing new gets added in the higher levels.

[When Pigs Fly]

Great game

Its game is so addicting, I couldn't stop playing it untill I beat it.
The music fits nicely to the game and I loved the creative background tunnels.

The one thing that bugged me about this game was that once you entered a game mode there didn't seem to be any way to go back to the main menu to chose a different mode.

But apart from that its a great game, keep up the good work.

[Totem Destroyer 2]

Beginning levels are too hard

Its a great game but I felt that the first few levels should have been easier to beat.
