[Final Fantasy VII Part 1]

Actually

If you look past the sloopyness, and not the greatest animation, it is pretty good. Also quite fun. But it is based off FFVII, which makes it better. Few things though. I didn't even know how to save, I really didn't get it. It looked complicated anyway. Also, music was bad... I dunno if it's the quality, but it didn't sound like the originals. Oh, I liked how you put a bit of the FMV of Sephiroth burning down Cloud's hometown, that was nice. Overall, despite the visual quality, which I didn't really mind, it was a good game. Looking forward to a part 2, if it ever happens.

[AOL vs FinalFantasy]

Alright

It's kinda lame, because you really can't affect the outcome of anything, and Vincent disconnects before you even use him... but it's still pretty cool

[FF: Kill Strawberry Clock]

Lame

This is fail on so many levels. It's not funny, just annoying. This is a disgrace to FFVI, among other things.

[Free Will - The Game]

Nice

I dunno how you made it like a Game Boy game, but it's nice. I really liked it, but was annoying when you died. I think the framerate may have been a bit high, if it was a Game Boy game, but whatever. I still have my Game Boy, like 4 of them, LOL

[Contra 20th Anniversary]

Nice!

This was a nice remake. Only complaints are the small screen size, and that it's way harder than the original due to controls. But it is pretty sweet.

[Zelda: Links Backyard]

Better than the first one

At first, I thought to myself this one was too much like that other one... Then I realized it was the same guy... anyway, it's greatly improved over the previous one. Running speed is faster, frame rate is much better, and overall, it's more fun. I also liked the cutscenes, I guess you could call them. And there was even a boss fight, that was cool. Overall, great, looking forward to the next one!

[Battle AJ]

Pretty fun

It was a decent game. Seems kinda like a Zelda game, though I've never played one really. It was cool, but to be honest, it got boring. It was also kind of glitchy. Overall, not bad.

[stickBrix]

Fun, but annoying

It is a fun game, but has alot of problems. First off, does the background really have to be so seizure worthy? It's really distracting. And the combo thing is even worse, it's big, and moves all around, you can't even track the ball, and it's way over dramatic. Also, "Runaway" really does not fit this type of game, the music should be more slow paced, not some techno-ish dance song. I dunno about Brix, but this seems like Breakout to me. Well, other than all the distractions, it's a pretty decent game.

[Old Mario Bros]

Good and bad

Well, first off the bad. The controls. Couldn't you just use WASD and space? You said you can't, while also using the arrow keys. Well whatever. Also, I think there was something up with one of the pipe stages... when you double jump off the pipe, you weren't able to get up to the next ledge. Oh, and the camera is zoomed out really far.

Okay, the good. It looks pretty decent, glad you didn't use sprites. I like the world map, but why did you use that if you based it off of Super Mario Bros 1? Well, anyway, despite the controls, it was pretty fun.

[Maze Raze]

Pretty cool

Took me a while to figure out what to do, and I read the instructions. Wow, I forgot somehow. It is pretty fun. It looks pretty cool too. The white background is the only real problem, besides the dying part. I think this type of game would be better made just for fun, and not that hard. Overall, nice little game.
