"Excellent Quality"

submission: Meeblings

date: December 30, 2008

However it doesn't achieve a perfect score from some frustratingly insane levels that if one meebling is one or two pixels off, you lose... yeah that's right, I'm looking at you level 45.

However, I was able to beat it and would love to see more!

Score: 2

"Poor execution"

submission: Armed with Wings 1

date: December 29, 2008

Armed with Wings 2 is a much better game, just go play that one. The Minotaur on level 6, while able to be defeated, can only be defeated by luck and spastic button mashing. You're going to try it 10 times over, and if you're OCD like me, do it. If you're not, you'll try it 4 times, say screw this, and close the window. It's a shame the author is not updating this game to balance level 6.

Score: 7

"Grind-tastic..."

submission: The Savior (battle)

date: December 24, 2008

...or at least on the higher difficulty levels. This is not to say the game is bad, it's just in order to beat the harder difficulty levels, you need to grind your way up by defeating the red flame guys for about half an hour. While this may be a lot of fun for some, I'm just going to stick with the Casual difficulty.

As for the claim of skipping the "dozen levels"... the fact you have to grind so much while facing the boss kind of makes those levels missed. I mean the whole point in most other games of skipping the dozens of levels is to level up so that that boss fight is easier and manageable. Instead, here, I just have to kill the same amount of enemies as I would have in the dozens of levels, while dodging the boss.

The final swords are possible to get, but again, you have to grind (and make sure you have Adobe Flash Player 10).

tl;dr: Good game, fun fight, but misses the target on a few fronts, especially the one about not having the grind your way up through levels full of minor enemies... ya do, just in a different format.

Suggestions for improvement: Remove the grind, and have multiple boss fights in a row that allow you to level up appropriately... and have slowly regenerating health for those of us who are skilled enough to dodge a few hits (would make life easier). Add bonuses for skilled players to level up faster (XP bonuses for combos, etc.)
