[Kill the Ice Age Baby Adventure The Game]

Amazing.

[The spy who shot me™ - Demo]

This is honestly an amazing start, I love how everything feels like the time of games you were trying to make it feel like. From polygonal characters to that spy theme. The controls are pretty horrible, however I understand why you made that decision but you could always make it changeable or something. As well as that I would add some polish like bodies not falling into the ground (don't know if that was intended) or just more exciting levels. But I understand that this a demo so I won't criticise it too much. Very fun though, keep it up.

I literally just added mouseaim! and bodies now stay onscreen.

[Let's Keep Trying]

To be completely honest, this game has more bad than good, it has a nice message and the graphics are eye pleasing but the animation and the amount of bugs is completely horrendous. Animation as I have said, bugs out when you go right and click left which causes you to start moonwalking as Ultr4-JV has pointed out, and overall it's not that pretty with the character's limbs staying in the same place while jumping. Oh now the bugs are incoming, firstly the jump button just tends to ignore me causing me to die when I really didn't deserve it, secondly when I walk into a wall my character just shakes a lot instead of stopping, so fix that please. This game is not definitely really bad as it carries a nice message but you could probably make it more interesting.

I wish you luck with next games, thanks for reading!

Okay, here goes...

This game is just overall confusing, the colours are vibrant and it's easy to distinguish spikes between other things, which is a good thing, but I don't actually see any other positive things about this game. The negatives though, gee there is so many but I will talk about all of them: Firstly the spike algorithm is broken, sometimes you get two spikes on the bottom and on the top which makes it literally impossible to pass without losing, Secondly the restarting system is confusing as hell because instead of the game teleporting you to the start which would be a normal thing it just restarts the game as it is so every time you want to restart you have to move back to the beginning or just a place where there's no spikes. It's just frustrating to be honest. Thirdly the text behind the game is a bad bad idea, why didn't you just use the black space that is huge in this game? It would've been clearer the text moving behind the actual game is hard to distinguish and to read the whole thing you need to wait for it to loop a few times. Therefore, in shortened version, how you could improve the game:

- Move the text in the back to the black spaces above and below the screen, it will make it clearer and less annoying to read

-Fix your spike algorithm, it's broken.

-Make the restarting button teleport the player to the start and say something like "Click any button to start the game" that would prepare the player for whatever is coming and would just be nice overall.

- I haven't actually included it in what's wrong with the game but while I'm here I'll just say that there is no score, you should add one. A sense of achievement for the player makes him more interested and likely to play more.

You could also refine the game by:

-Making the animation smoother

- change spikes so they don't look like a pile of squares (unless you were going for pixel art, but it seems like you tried to make it minimalistic) You should do the same with text.

This game was done badly, but just because it was, don't give up! You can take the criticism and do better next time!

I should clarify that the "Black space" isnt really there.... the game is 64 x 512 so the black is just filler made by Newgrounds. I have talked about the R thing, Restarting the whole game seemed like a normal thing to and I wasn't feeling normal, which why i ended up with a broken system. and yes it is Pixel art, everything is 32x32. and The text could scroll more smoothly, but again i did that on purpose... And the reason i ask for feedback is because i will make a updated version will more in it. Please PM me for anymore ideas THANK YOU!!

Very nice game: with it's minimalist graphics it's eye pleasing and the colour palette is well chosen.
The controls are comfortable for what they were designed for (phones) and overall it's pretty fun when it lasts.

The only things I would complain about would be the difficulty of the game which is really easy to a point and then it suddenly spikes up - please make it escalate and the shitty "download in the appstore" icons on the bottom which look genuinely ugly and kinda destroy the look. What I would suggest is either completely removing them or just make custom icons with your minimalist style. Very good job on the rest though, keep it up!

Points noted. Thanks for the feedback!

[Who's That Hero:Overwatch]

It's a good job as in terms of it does it's job very well: just a simple quiz.

However I feel like it could be vastly improved, things like image quality, the fact that capitals dots and others don't work. It's quite annoying so it took me about 15 seconds to find out that I have to write dva instead of "D.va"or "DVa" although it's good as a first project.

I advise you update it, that would probably grab more attention and better ratings. You're heading in the right direction though.

[Ridiculous Text Adventures]

I loved the game! Really original and lots of options, I found it really fun and the characters have great personaities the only thing that I would call a downside is how easy it is to get the same option over and over I just couldn't get some of the endings...
