meh

restarting is alright for failing or passing the test, but you should try the action "stopSound()" first, so that the music isn't being looped over itself if someone wants to play the test again. plus, there should be a reward of some kind, and a screen telling you if you got a question wrong before taking you back to the start page.

[FPA: World 2]

glitch

The game was awesome, a bit long but engrossing. I'm a little frustrated though that I got to the boss and the game glitched out on me. Fancy Pants got stuck in the falling position. I could only move left and right and couldn't jump or take damage, so I couldn't even kill myself to start over. So I got all the way to the end without the prize of seeing the ending.

not too shabby

Pretty good for a first try. It lacks a lot of challenge; the levels should get progressively harder. For example, have more asteroids enter at various sec into the game, or maybe throw an enemy in there to spice things up. Also, a bug: hold [Down] and every asteroid can be avoided without trying. Really, mechanically and aesthetically, not bad for a first game.

[Riku vs.Riku(detailed)]

too sloppy

it's alright for a small sample of a game; i didn't notice many bugs. you might want to change the "hit area" for your buttons, so that the player can click anywhere in the immediate vicinity of the text, instead of only on the actual font (which is almost too thin to accomplish this on). the music is good, and the animation is alright. i noticed another couple things, which may or may not concern you: when you defeat the imposter, their life will go into the negative but they will still attack before the screen displayed "victory", and also, when you use the magic power, the screen stays black for the actual attack... not sure if that was supposed to happen.

i'd mostly work on the style. the screen is a bit too jumbled. just organize things a bit, maybe add some colorful backdrops behind the text areas.

LeoK responds:

yes.....it was supposed to happen....ya know on khCoM most of darj riku's moves turned the screen black(he's just strong like that)

[The Last Stand.]

Wow

I happened upon this game because I was considering making one along the same lines (more text-based though). For this being your first game, not bad AT ALL. The movement was a little shaky, but I stopped noticing this very quickly. The artwork is done very well, and the gameplay immediately immerses the player in your environment. I was a little on edge there at end when I had three of those army zombies caught up in a spot that was hard to shoot, but I made it. Also, adding the possibility of losing a survivor while traveling was a nice touch.

great remake

A great remake of the classic game Kaboom for Atari 2600. The style of bombs falling is directly taken from this game, but I like how you offer something unique with the different bombs colors.
