[The Interview Codex]

Very interesting, not to mention unique; I don't think anyone's thought of this before, and it's a great way to show people these insightful interviews. The flash itself is very neatly done, although there are a few typos, and I wouldn't mind a few other choices of music.

Also, did anyone else read Edd's interview and cry? :(

deathink responds:

If you are looking for some more great music to go along with this , check out my PICO RADIO flash. Over 140 different songs and counting :)

[Welcome Test Subject 3217]

Well this is clever. It's certainly never been done before, and the graphics are impeccable... hehe...
It's very challenging, but of what I've played so far, I can safely say that it's very doable. In short, this is a wonderful game.

[Heart Attacksome]

A little preachy for my taste, but aside from that, it's a pretty good game, especially for having been made in only two days. My only real grievance is the fact that the game itself is too big to be viewed all at once, which is a pet peeve of mine.

[Santa's "Clause"]

Hmm, not bad. A nice, simple, Tetris-style game. It has nice physics, and the gameplay is simple and easy to learn. However, I think it could use something along the lines of a level system, and perhaps a goal height to try and reach. Perhaps you could make this a second gameplay mode?
In any case, not a bad game at all.

It's not a bad game at all, but I found one problem: when I clicked the walkthrough button, all it gave me was a blue screen.

[Internet Avenger]

Hmm. Well, the graphics could definitely use some work, but that's really my only major gripe. Other than that, the game is funny and clever in concept, especially where the bosses are concerned (although why the Firefox boss is a dragon and not, well, a fox, is beyond me). The controls and gameplay are simplistic, which, in a world where games are slowly requiring you to evolve an extra set of fingers to play, is not necessarily a bad thing. Fix up those graphics and the game is perfect!

At last, it has arrived! I've been eagerly awaiting this game since I played the beta, and I've gotta say, it doesn't disappoint. The art is great, the voice acting is phenomenal, the characters are dynamic and creative (especially Zipp), and the gameplay is beautifully simple while at the same time having the unique lantern element to it. Overall, one of the best games I've ever played!
And I'll be thoroughly searching the portal for the name Andover...

[IWBTD]

Hmm, a bit late for April Fool's Day, don't you think? Ah well. XD

[Chunkadelic]

I love this game! I find it very difficult to find anything bad to say about it. However, as I'm sure others have mentioned, there is a bug with the Duck Hunt level where the ducks fly around on the screen for all of the games after it.

I do have one suggestion: make another mode of gameplay where you can continue playing the same game, rather than one after the other.

Drazzke responds:

The bug with the Ducks was actually left in on purpose. We found it so funny when we first encountered it we decided to leave it in.

Having an option to try a specific level multiple times is probably a good idea.
