[Blockhead: The Game]

Bugs to report...

First off, I love Blockhead. Always much enjoyed.

I don't know if you're into fixing any of the bugs for this but, here's one you didn't mention.

I was running from the FBI for over 5 minutes until I closed the game because the buttons stopped responding, and well.. it went well over 3 minutes.
Basically, about 10 seconds before 3 minutes was up, I told the conscience to take a break and let Blockhead run wild... he did so.. and I guess because the conscience was gone, when the clock hit 3 minutes, I didn't pass the level but Blockhead continued to conduct mayhem, as well as speak to FBI dudes, without any repercussions. So then when the conscience returned, I still was unable to issue any commands, and the timer kept going, so I had to restart the game entirely.

But if you don't care.. then... oh well. I still love your stuff!

Hmm, that is a big problem and I aim to fix it. Thanks for the heads-up!

[UFO Short Game]

Your graphics, someone else's code...

Well... I think the game is done relatively okay... however, I've downloaded the same FLA that you did to make this game (I recognize the timer, sound effects, game structure, etc...) So I know you just basically inputted your own graphics...

but still... well done. You made it different enough from the original (graphic-wise) but the gameplay is still exactly the same, so that's kind of a shame... Maybe take a bit of time to mix it up a bit and make things a bit more different... like give the ufo weapons.. and maybe the ability to fly and not just jump, which would make more sense...

Erikcq responds:

Yeah... But when I played it for the first time I thought that it deserved to be played by a bigger audience. I gave him the proper credit (The problem is that most people doesn't read the author's comment).

[Eagle's quest]

You got bugs...

First you should know that the jewels that fall furthest to the left of the screen and a set of money bags that fall in the centre screen cannot be collected for some reason. They just kinda keep falling.. so you may want to look into that.

It's not bad I suppose... I think it's an interesting start, and I think if you keep working you'll learn to expand your flash capabilities. But you may want to make the game more interesting. Add some more stuff to do so that the game isn't instantly boring. Add some obstacles, maybe a bit more animation, a storyline to explain how collecting falling jewels has anything to do with learning to fly perhaps... but most of all, have different music! That was really irritating and repetitive.

you can also give options like turning the music on or off. Your graphics seemed relatively okay, but it could also be interesting if you programmed the eagle to swoop and stuff when he turns corners instead of the total linear up, down, left, right sort of thing...

I hope that helps. All in all, not a bad effort. Keep trying.
