[-Blind-]

It's a good game, could do better.

I'll deal out the issues before I talk about the good stuff about it. The main issues I have with it is that the 'sonar' as you call it is a bit hard to read at times, but it's good that it's there. The next issue is a small bug I came across, I can't throw the ball anymore. There are times when it could have saved me a headache.

The good parts of the game are the music, the concept of a blind man overcoming many obstacles, and the gameplay.
The music adds a suspenseful feeling to the game, Who's calling for help? What's going to happen? The concept of a blind man going off to help a person in need is an original and great concept in a Platform game, but not so much in other media.
The gameplay is pretty good, the jumping is just right, not too over-hyped and not too toned down; which makes me infer the man is in good health. The speed he moves is slow, which is good seeing as a blind man running around in a place full of lethal spikes would be a bit unorthodox. Another good part of the game I have yet to mention is the detail you put into it. Some people will look at this and ask "Detail? It's a white outline on black with the occasional bit of white that acts like a wall or spikes!" To those people, by detail I actually DO mean those little bits of white. It's pure genius that the main details are the walls, the spikes, and the sudden emptiness that you realize a second too late. A few things like the lamp and the dumpster add to the story, 'What are they there for? why are they here?' This is a game where I actually can think these things without something crazy and/or flashy going, 'Look at me! I'm a Crazy and Flashy piece of random in this game!' This game appears to be simple, but it is much more complex and intricate than people think at first.

I really hope that you can fix the bug in my not being able to throw, then I can thoroughly enjoy this game without getting too many headaches.

9/10, 5/5

[Magus RPG]

It's a good concept, but lacking greatly.

From what I've seen, the 'random' encounters are too frequent, there needs to be something like CT, maybe a few walkaround areas like Guardia Forest or the Labs from the Future. There needs to be a 'save' thing for when you are about to fight a boss and don't want to play over and over again. The intro was nice enough and the fighting system could use a little polishing (I'll be in a battle and my items screen will suddenly disappear when an enemy attacks), and the damage system could use a little less variation. Though I know nothing about making a game, I am an avid player. This has a lot of potential.

[Night of the Cursed]

It's good enough...

The controls are simple enough, though the addable character seems to be the only one (so far). It's easy enough on easy.
I tried hard and it's the same basic system, Though, I do like 'getting' her for 'free'.
(that sounded so wrong!) The scoring system is different and killing them is harder (No surprise.) I clicked on the 'no thanks' thing and it FROZE! please fix this glitch.
All in all, 8/10

[Riddle School 4]

Played the 'game', heard the commentary.

This was pretty epic since I was trying to figure out what I was going to use to escape the room, then BOOM! Phil's falling to his death and i'm like WTF?

[M-Bot The Game]

To tell the truth,...

this is a very good game. The graphics are better than i originally thought, the bosses were just the right difficulty, and the last boss's name made me laugh. Great job!

[Unknown.]

It's a great game, addictive too!

I can hardly find any fault with the game, except the 'Game over, Try again!' and 'You win!' voices get annoying after a while. The songs were well chosen, they were unbiased, (except Hip Hop, there was only one song.) It was fun listening to the music and dodging shapes. I hope a second game comes out. (if it hasn't already...)

[Ongaku]

This is a good game.

The songs start out easy and get harder as you get more into the game. The notes are synched to near perfection, and the storyline seems interesting. 9/10

[Paradox Embrace]

*Spoiler*

The paradox was the endless stairs illiusion? That's not a paradox, It's an improbable shape that can only be drawn. But, the definition of paradoxes have changed for person to person.

EntropicOrder responds:

It's hard to create a visual representation of a paradox since they can't technically exist, but I think optical illusions or whatever you want to call the endless stairs do a pretty good job. Represented in words, A ascends to B, B ascends to C, C ascends to A. So A is lower than C and C is lower than A, which is contradictory and paradoxical.

The endless stairs isn't the actual paradox, but instead represent his arrival at the embrace of the true paradox. Any guesses?

[Level Up!]

Ooookaaaay....?

The storyline was interesting, the monsters ticked me off, and the Nightmare was hard to beat. the ending was a bit surprising, but i feel like i'm missing something. can you please include some background into the story in the next part?
