[Hyper Pixel Man]

more pixel platforms is just what this site needs... This one brings nothing new to the table, either. The graphics are obviously not 1-bit lol, the music is annoying and not memorable at all, and the controls are overly sensitive, usually killing me rather then my own fault. there is challenge and then theres frustrating controls. 0/10

Pixelulsar responds:

I know that technically their not 1-bit.

[Talk]

A game, artistic or not, should at least have some sort of clear explanation to what is happening. Judging by the other reviews, i am not the only one who thinks this. I do not consider this a game at all

[Obduction XP]

the game moves very slowly, the bugs are very common which is bad, but I could have gotten around all of that if it wasnt for the god awful music.

[Wilt: Last Blossom]

Here I thought I was about to play another art game and learn about destroying the environment lol. Boy was I wrong!

Graphics: Beautifully depicts a world that is dyeing out. All the pixel art looked great. 3/3

Sound: The sound effects and music were very retro and fit the entire theme of it very well. well done! 3/3

Gameplay: Fun platforming and the puzzles were clever! The fighting was good as well until you acquire the gun. At that point it lost its survival horror feel and turned into Contra. I really felt like the gun took a lot of the atmosphere away from the game because it became far too easy at that point. 3/4

Overall I would have liked to do without the gun but I absolutely loved every part of the game! Well done sir! Nice secret house btw ;)

SCORE 9/10

Thanks!

Graphics: The pixel art and particle effects were great and everything had an almost Victorian feel to it. The animations of everything were fluid and life-like despite the pixel art and that helped to give it a more realistic feeling. You did a great job with the atmosphere within the game! 3/3

Audio: I really loved the music throughout the entire game! MY only complaint is that the boss battle loop could have been done better. It felt somewhat out of place and of lower quality than the other wonderful tracks. 2.5/3

Gameplay: For the most part the game handles well. It is incredibly challenging and I really liked the aspect of being punished for dyeing too often and having to go through a short filler level. It really helped me think about the decisions I made more rather than just constantly running through an area until I lucked my way through it. Even so you were generous with checkpoints, but the controls themselves bothered me. I found them to be rather stiff at times. When I am trying to hang from an edge to hide from an approaching enemy, the biggest challenge was hitting the X key the right amount of times so I wouldn't fall or jump into their view. Even so the game played nicely, just more frustrations seemed to come from control fails then the actual game itself. 2.5/4

OVERALL i loved the game. The controls frustrated me a bit but the atmosphere and great music kept me going with it until the end. Some medals would be nice but now I am just being picky haha. Well done overall!

[Hungry Gamers]

Awesome joke you really got me good! BUT UGH I really wanted an actual full Hunger Games game by this team! Way to build up my hopes then destroy them :( But awesome april fools joke!

[The Underrated Art Collab]

Awesome

It is really nice to see an art collaboration for people who don't get too much recognition. One thing I would have done differently, however, is not placed the full sized art in the flash itself. I believe it would have worked better to have a page of thumbnails when you click on the person's name, and clicking on the thumbnail would open a tab with the page the art is on. That way they could see the pictures in the resolution they were posted in rather than being distorted. It would also have allowed to to put many more pictures in here without having such a large file size. Very nice otherwise!

thanks man

[Pixel Escape]

Nice

challenging and addicting, but more variety could really spice it up a bit more. I see im not the first to realize that you can just hold down the arrow keys for the high score, so I wont get into that. Fun tho if you play by the rules!

VioletVulpine responds:

Thanks

[Mechanical Ice Apocalypse]

Meh..

Graphics: Simple, clean, a very good representation of a world facing a cold weather apacolypse. Everything looks great :) 3/3

Sound: Good sound effects and music, but not much variety here. The same sounds get old after a while. 2/3

Execution: Definitely a challenge, but once you get use to the way the pattern goes core #3 is the only real challenge here. The biggest challenge is how frustrating the game is with one hit kills. I understand it is meant to be hard, but there is a challenge between hard and frustrating. Even if you only had 3 hit points, so that if you make a dumb mistake you aren't counted against by having to start the whole damn thing over again. 0/3

Overall it was fun for a while, then it was frustrating, and the in the end not very satisfying. Just another good looking and outstanding space shooter that is hurt dramatically by a lacking of lives/hit points and checkpoints.

5/10

[Johnny in an art game?]

Really?

I understand the concept you were aiming at with this and I too found it funny i'm as sick of art games as the next guy, but on its own this rly wasn't anything special. It really didn't hit many key elements in the games rather than a few common annoyances, and it was really short and unsatisfying. How this got front page is beyond me. It is a good parody yes, but other than that it's shit.
