[EcoSaviors]

absurdity

Interesting how "kjrubberducky" interpreted about the president and bereaucracy and all that.
Shooting the alien was really nice... I definitely didn't expect that
but the "saving the enviroment" part is a bit... naive
That is my only complaint.
Speaking of this, The most realistic "Save the enviroment" game remains this:

Thanks for playing and rating. Well, we don't want anyone to be cynical on saving the environment now don't we? :D

[Raid Gaza!]

wow game

Not insulted by a word like "genocide" used incorrectly. It just means that you've never been to one.
But damn, starting the game with a mis-quote of Olmert was cheap.

After the drama has had it's time to shine, Reality starts creeping in....
Israel means this - jews live in the lands of their forefathers.
When somebody has a problem with that, they go ahead start attacking.
Sometimes they're a threat.
But now they're not
The world is not a holywood stage where the underdogs always win.
In nature(humans are a subset of this) you have to first prove yourself as more adapt before you can win. There's a variety of fields to do this. But if you pick WAR and are severely under-equipped, you either prepare to lose, or you are completely dillusional.

The people who fired those rockets either expect to get a better bargin by somehow winning the battle(dillusional), or they simply wish to convert their soon-to-be dead children into drama.
How will that help them? I dunno... but maybe it's some religious honor, or maybe they have a plan (beause it seems that exporting shitloads of images of dead kids is their most important aspect of battle)

I've provided the context for the quote (you can click the reference), so I don't think it can be called a misquotation. Obviously he didn't mean "kill all Palestinians", but I assumed this was obvious.

epic pixelation

This game somehow manages to CRASH my firefox.
But it's probably just macromedia/adobe's faulty plugin.

This game is elite.
I thought that the first time I played.. before I saw all that upgrades and depth in the objects around.
At first I thought every item was just a Health giver.
Because there is no interface and nothing stopping you from just jumping into the water.
What really kicks ass is the composition between background layer, foreground layer and the things that happen inside you game field.
The variety of meteorites and the disasters they cause is overwhelming which keeps the interest up until you figure out what the hell you're supposed to do.
Everything you can do is fun but Hard.
The A.I of creatures seems well tweaked. So even if it's dead-simple it's always challenging.
This game to me seems like a Mix between Adventure Island(NES) and E.V.O(SNES). Good games those are!
This game seems like it's adding the speed-run feel of the former into the type of world as the latter.
the pixels and filters and visual composition here are superb!
However, the music is slightly annoying!
gg anyway

pixeljamgames responds:

Thanks!

You know, you can turn the music off by pressing "m". it turns to ambient sounds.

Oh my god

This game is definitely the perfect example of...... the Internet.

hahaha

[Alien Slayer 3D]

Great. Next time give us more gameplay :)

The controls could have been much worse, but what you gave us here is not perfect either...
The cursor movement/turn ratios definitely needs more tweaking. I am finding myself doing much too effort to just turn from side to side, and the "strafe" movement it too minimal, as well.
I wonder now if an old-school keyboard-only approach combined with a high frame rate would make this game more fun to control.

Great job with the graphics . I was amazed to see all kinds of detail like the menus and the bullet impact effects that looked great (I just sat there, shooting at the ceiling)
Also, definitely improve the enemy's A.I even if by a tiny bit... for example make them stop walking towards you and maybe move sideways a little bit, or shoot at you, or just stop in place for a second and scream bloody gore at the player. Shouldn't be hard to implement.
Very impressive engine! this has future! I wonder what it'll be like for 3D genres that have simpler controls.

qigames responds:

Great review!
We are still working on this engine and the next game we will make is going to be a lot better..... At least I hope =P

Thanks
