[Wiggi Who?]

wiggi

good clone of guess who and I like guess who, I kept trying to cheat but I guess the computer is miss cleo or something, eye color was difficult to see, you should be allowed to cheat though 2/5

[Blocs]

pretty good

I liked it, needs a mute button. 3/5

[Swords & Sandals Crusader]

good, not great

I liked the swords and sandals games so far and this is no exception, however my game froze on me twice, I had quality on low and all effects off, and there was no way to unstick it. The fact that this is only a demo and its freezing on me is enough to make me not want to buy the game, that and the price. Its not a bad game but it simply isn't worth buying especially when there are better retail games that aren't quite worth their price, and you want to sell a flash game that freezes and doesn't run well with ALL machines? Even if the full game runs better and doesnt freeze its still only worth $2 or $3 at the most, it's fun, it's addictive, it makes you want to try again, but I refuse to pay for it with this many bugs. 3/5

[cheniz]

not bad

This is a very well done "catch flies with chopsticks" simulator. Your quote from Miyagi was very appropriate though younger gamers might not get the reference. The concept is great, especially for those of us not coordinated enough to use chopsticks but would still like to try and catch a fly with chopsticks, i'm assuming that would be everyone. This is a casual play game, those of you looking for something deep and involving, go somewhere else, come back when you have some time to kill. 4/5

[Wiggi's Game Show]

more wiggi

well theres some motivation to play the game through, good job with the game show idea, it would have been nice to see a minigame between questions to spice up the game. The range of difficulty was pretty wide, theres some that made me think twice then there were some that I knew so quick, it took me longer to find the answer than to know the answer. The other thing is that there is no reason to try and get all 15 questions right, I thought it was more fun to get them wrong and still get the same ending. Where is the motivation to try again and get a better score? If he scores low he could ride home sad on his bike or if he scores high, he should be taken to disney world in a limo where theres a space shuttle ready to give him a tour of the moon and meet crazy aliens that tell him "winners don't use drugs". These wiggi games have been one lame disappoinment after another, lacking gameplay, replayability, and motivation. This one at least had a decent concept. I know your making these for kids and they have to teach something, I respect that but these wiggi submissions have been mindlessly slapped together with gameplay as an afterthought.

[Don't Drink'n Drive]

not bad

its a fun avoidance game but accelerating didnt really help and it didnt matter what side of the road youre on, the sparkling was annoying, if you used a trailer effect and moved the screen side to side, that would be more realistic. add a mute button for the music. its a good casual play game, but I couldnt stay hooked. 3/5

[Super Fishing]

very simple....

too simple really, needs more content, this game is good to kill a few minutes only for most gamers, don't get me wrong, its fun for those few minutes but theres nothing that keeps your attention coming back for more. If you're an obsessive gamer and absolutely have to have the high score in every game you play, this will hold you for awhile, but most people wont play this very long or very often

[.: Blox :.]

getting warmer but...

its still a ways off. heres a fresh idea, make an arkanoid type game that doesnt use bricks, how about shapes, shapes that change the directory of the ball while its in the air. maybe have different shapes on the screen at once like triangles and stars and pentagons and hexagons, and maybe add powerups as an option, so you can choose to play without them, new powerups too, something we havent seen before

[Wiggi-Emergency 911]

who is going to play this?

its a quiz game..... for kids. i dont get these wiggi submissions at all, its as though people don't realize that you can give kids goals to shoot for, higher score getting different endings, its like you people don't understand that kids need just as much a reason to play as any older gamer does, you can keep the controls simple but give them something to shoot for, add some spice to gameplay. i like what all you people are trying to do but keep in mind that kid gamers are gamers too.

[NEO 4000 Breakout Game]

too oldschool

where are the powerups? the bonuses? the occaisonal floating enemy thats only there for extra points? It doesnt matter if you make new levels for a game no one wants to play because they can play a version thats 100 times better. Im with theclaaw on this one, give people content, give them a goal, give them an awesome game with a retro feel. Dont crank out a crappy game because youre trying to promote something, thats where movie/game crossovers go wrong, a crap game to a good movie, NEO 4000 i'm personally boycotting you, not that I even have any tapes
