Brilliant.

Absolutely awesome game with simple graphics, but great gameplay and replay value. Very rarely wil you have the same effect twice when blowing up an atom. The results CAN be thought out in your head first, to an extent, but a lot of the time, you will need to rely on luck.

Basically, this game is the typical Chain Reaction game, where you have to blow up one blob, causing it's pieces to fly off and detonate any other blobs it touches, and at some points in the game, the blobs are colour-coordinated, and only chain-destroy blobs of the same colour.

Very well thought out game, very well presented, and awesomely pulled off. I give this game a 10, solely because I'd definately come back to play it again. It's even made my bookmark folder. ;)

Note to Finefin: Mate, you have an awesome skill for making addictive flash games. Never, EVER give that up. You should think of collaborating with another artist, maybe, and come up with the best game ever? Anyway man, great job, and keep at it! I can see that you've got a real artistic touch there, and you should let it run free more. Let's see more like this please. ^^

finefin responds:

thank you very much.
actually there are a couple of games in the pipeline, so stay tuned !

Awesome!

Awesome, very simply presented game with a simple goal. Get the coloured balls in to their same-coloured cups. (I'm from the UK, and that's how we spell the word colour.)

Excellently pulled off, great play value, great replay value, challenging, and it has a skill to master. Once you've played for a few hours, you'll be 1-shotting the balls in to their cups (if the level allows it from where the balls are placed).

I have played this for hours, and will do so for days, weeks, or even months to come. I love it. Let's see more like this, please, Mr Author. :)

Also, your graphic designer, Arseniy, from GameBalance, is the perfect man for the job, and you chose very well. The game didn't need complex graphics, or flashy sequences, you pulled the game off perfectly. This is the first 10 I've ever given a game, and I hope to be able to give your next game a 10 too. Keep up the good work, Florian.

*sigh*

*sigh*.. Why are there games like this on here? These should have their own section or something, because there could be someone who sees it that has a weak heart or something. Seriously, don't play this if you don't like being jumped by games that have no other goal other than to make you crap your pants.

Yes, it's a prank flash. Sorry to spoil it for those of you that LIKE things like this *and there aren't many*, but for the sake of everyone here that doesn't want their time wasted, or their blood pressure raised, I have to give this a 1, and give everyone a warning that it WILL make you jump. I hate things like this.

To the artist: Your drawing skills are awesome, man, so please, make more games, but don't make them like this one. Make a serious project that leaves the player gripped, and wanting more, not fumbling about for their phone to call 911/999.

[Paintball - The Game]

Great!

Excellent game. Only giving it an 8 because the levels are so easily ninja'd.

Try this level I made. I call it.. THE WAITER.

To open the level editor, click OPTIONS, then click LEVEL EDITOR. Click INPUT CODE, and PASTE the following level code in to the editor window. INCLUDE EVERYTHING AFTER THE >

[Karoshi:Suicide Salaryman]

Brilliant!!

Original concept, brilliantly pulled off.

The reverse idea of the game is genius.

Goal = Die

Never seen that before. After finally playing this game all the way to the end, I felt like I'd achieved something. Not many games can pull that off with such simplicity. To put is bluntly, I love it. I'd play it again, only it's 5:28am, and my eyes are closing themselves. If you are reading this before playing the game, then stop reading this, and play the game. It's awesome. Oh and by the way..

Die. In any way you can. Not all levels have just ONE means of death. You can, in some levels, ninja your way in to dying, working around the level design. See for yourself. ;)

[BioLabs: Outbreak!]

Brilliant.

This game had me playing up until lvl 24. Up until this point, I'd been playing for about an hour and a half. If it wasn't for me being so tired, I'd have easily played for another 2 hours.

Fantastic game, great concept, I agree with Bodom-Child, as far as to say that the playing field would be much better if a little bigger, but other than that, the game is nearly faultless. I give this game 9/10. I've only taken a point off because it's not perfect, but then again, what is? ;) Make the playing field bigger, maybe add power ups / more varied enemies / power-downs, and it could be an even more awesome game.

I love it.

[Death by Hinge]

Simple, fun, but...

Simple, fun, but there seems to be something missing..

Maybe if you added in some bouncy things at random points, or power ups (like temporary wings, or something), it could be awesome. I gave this a 7 because the graphics are clearly rushed, the gameplay is a little too hit'n'hope, and it just seems a little empty.

By the way, Verinvord, how the hell did you get 19,400?!? O.o I couldn't even get over 10 k.. What's your strategy?
