[Sandile's Challenge]

It was interesting. And hard as balls.
I got some of them by myself, but then I had to google the rest.
It's pretty easy to cheat and take your own sweet time to get the medals. I suppose you already know about that, but in case you don't : PM me and I'll tell you.
It's annoying to clear the "Type here" text every time and then click on the "guess" button.
I should be able to press Enter to submit it.

I think you made a mistake with the last question. I spent an hour searching for it and the answer doesn't seem to match.
If anyone figures it out please PM me.

[Shapepalooza]

A nice twist in the classic game, but gets boring after 2 minutes.
Glitch: If the ball lands close to the corner of the paddle, then it does a sort of zigzag dance inside the paddle before shooting out the bottom at the other side, and you lose the ball for no reason.
I got only the Twice the fun and the Variety medals, i don't know what the rest are.

[Dead Pirate's Chest]

It was alright, not too good and not too bad.
It gets boring after the first five minutes when you figure out which unit is powerful over which unit.
After a few unit upgrades, all the units become similar and there's no difference at all.
Once you acquire all the upgrades for just one unit, the game can be finished in 2 minutes and there's no challenge left at all.

Now for the medals:
The 3 time medals, the skeleton boss and the federal boss medals, the Exorcist 1 and the Quartermaster medals do not work. The rest work fine.
Anyone hoping to get the 300 aboriginals and 300 federals medals should get it early because once you upgrade and become invincible, it becomes really hard and takes you a lot of time to get those because you end up destroying the enemy base in about 5 seconds. In that case, just use a weaker unit than the enemy unit and release it just when the enemy is an inch away from your base line so you get many enemies on the way.

[Drone Assault]

This is pretty fun. For 5 minutes atleast.
But after that it gets monotonous, with very little to do but try and get some achievements.
It's a bit laggy and that makes it frustrating especially if you click outside by mistake when the enemies are near the right edge of the screen.
You could have added a shop where you can buy stuff to modify your weapon.
Also, I think the 30,000 medal is for the base score not the final score, because I got a final score of 42,000 after adding bonuses and still didn't get it.
All in all, a good game. Make a better version next time and you'll get the remaining half star as well.

VictorGrunn responds:

Thanks for the feedback - all great suggestions. I'll double check the 30k medal, it shouldn't have a requirement like that.

If anything I think you were too generous with this score, but I appreciate it all the same. The next game will be more depthful, and I'll try to patch this one up this week.

[Myosotis Chapter 2]

That was really good, but it was too short.
The puzzles were bloody good and I enjoyed solving them.
The typewriter effect was annoying, as many people have said.
It's a bit funny that they guy walks past the door when it unlocks but never through it.
You should have added some medals for fun.
I can't wait for the sequel but make sure its longer and harder.
Cheers !

[Last Dance 2]

This was amazing, I'd love to see more.
The script was awesome and totally makes up for the lack of good artwork.
The getting stuck forever parts like shooting yourself or taking shelter in the house are gonna give me nightmares.
Most of the pictures are strangely scary and potentially epileptic so thanks for the warning.
Typo: In the ghostly demon part - "Run straight trough the horrible thing"
All in all, good stuff, keep making more of these.

P.S: Still didn't get the last secret medal like last time and still need someone to help me out like last time.

Shroom-Cushion responds:

Hey, thanks once again for dropping by Last Dance! Nice to hear that you've enjoyed it once again... And about the secret medal... well, this time you actually have to click something in background - something that looks like an item from a very popular universe.

Cheers.

And thanks for the typo catch, will fix it in a second!

[Little Alice Escapes]

Wow! That was so much more than I was expecting.
The puzzles were a refreshing change from the usual gamezhero games which you can play blindfolded.
I think it belongs to the Adventure category, not Fighting.
And, i think you could include a "Warning - do not try this at home" message and a little scene where the girl gets run over by a vehicle offscreen in the end, so that kids don't try it out.

[Vectricity]

This was a really good FPS retro shooter.
The sounds were annoying and added to the retro feel.
I'll check out the source code on your website.

P.S: Can someone please PM me the last two secret medals?

[Pico Radio]

Very good player with a nice interface.
I have a slow internet connection so it will take a while for each song to load.
If the radio lover medal is what i think it is, I'd rather not waste an hour and a half to get it, it's only 5 points.
And please add more songs...

deathink responds:

Well I don't think the medal is what you think it is. I am also very glad you like it.
