[A Crow in Hell]

Incredibly hard and long, but good

Obviously took ALOT of work and thought. For that, I commend you. However, it is a little hard for the average player to finish in one sitting, and you do really have to understand the physics and tiny nuances of the game to play it well (for example, the crow moves forward a bit with each upward flap, your tail can touch most things but your beak can't, etc). It was a fun game, but I didn't feel like I accomplished anything when I beat it; the ending was a tad lackluster. However, it was very original and harkened back to a lot of the hardest parts of classic platformers. Seriously though, if you make a sequel, you might lighten up a little bit on how hard you make it; it's like newgrounds' Ninja Gaiden lol, and personally even that game was easier XD.

Amazing Platformer

Reminded me a lot of really oldschool platformers, like SNES and earlier. Not at all impossible, but very difficult. There was a lot of thought involved in beating the levels once you hit the second world. Oddly though, I found the expert chapter less difficult than the third chapter. Oh, and I also agree, the last level's bandaid is pretty much impossible to get. You're very cruel for that lol. Good stuff though. PLEASE make a sequel!

Oh, and is there anywhere to download the music? I visited dbsounds or whatever, and couldn't find anything, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right places.

It Might Be Wise

To explain things better. I've never know quite how I've killed the catapult guy. I've tried shooting arrows, directly slashing, and hitting the boulders back, and....eventually he just seems to die when I'm nowhere near him. Furthermore, I went round and round with the boss and had no idea what the hell I should have done. Is he just really good at dodging or is he supposed to have a life bar? I never knew what was up with him so, I gave up. I'd give it a 0 alone for that, but the concept is strong. -10 for boss, but +15 for concept. Oh, and WAY too jack like lol

Meh

It's fun and a little addictive, but it's a little too easy to die and it always felt like when I was doing great, it was just a fluke. There needs to be a way to get the big fish off of you without simply outrunning them, 'cause I'd usually amass about 6 of the damned things chasing me, I'd think I had escaped, and then I'd run right into the jaws of another one. Still, not a bad game, just could be better. I'd like to play longer games without dying, than I would dying repeatedly so I play more of it.

[Kill The Pacman]

Fairly unoffensive, but . . .

you spelled "congratulations" wrong at the end there.

Ignore the Nonsense

This was simple, easy to control, and very addictive for a while. It does lose its charm after a while, but for players who like to see how high they can push their high-scores, it's easy enough to be satisfying in that regard. There's a mild strategic aspect to it too, so I'd say you did fine. I dunno if it qualifies as a puzzle game (more action, I'd say), but this was fun for a brief distraction :D

Oh, and the choice of music was grand :D

[Hedgehog Launch]

Great great great!

I'm pretty sure it is already, but just to clarify, this belongs on the front page :D As others have said, probably one of the best if not the best launcher game out there. The fact that you can control the launchee is probably what makes it so much fun. I know alot of people probably brag about how quickly they can get it done, but it's so enjoyable that I hate to do it any shorter than 14 days. Besides, after making $86,708 on the last day, I felt pretty freaking accomplished :D. It's simple without being repetitive, and challenging without being unrelenting. Great replay value!
Oh, and thanks alot for the disclaimer about the first few launches. When I first started playing, I would've been very discouraged if not for that. Great game for sure!
