[kite suf a gogo]

Huh

I kept getting "crash" notices even when my parachute was straight up, my trick was over and he was landing slowly. What's the margin of error? It must be pretty dang narrow.
It know it would be more work, but it would be better if you had to get up to a certain speed (with a speed meter) by tilting your sail down, and that if you tilted it too far you would slow down instead of just stopping like it does now. Also it could use some different sounds for surfing, jumping, and landing.
Hope to see a very cool final version.

breakyaface responds:

ok first of all, IT'S NOT A PARACHUTE. It's a Kite. but the trick is that u have to land with speed like in real life (I do this sport myself), but there is no speedmeter in real life to.
And last when ur kite hits the water u stop, but i'm working on it that u then also crash. For the rest thanx for the comments.

Awful controls

The up and down arrow buttons should be reversed -- why would pressing 'up' make the plane fly backwards? -- and there's a tremendous pause before any commands are repeated, so there's like a one-second pause before your plane actually rotates after you hold down the button. Fix the keymonitor commands, at least. And shouldn't Bin Laden be some kind of 'special'? All in all, very ho-hum.

Not bad

An okay game. Could have benefitted a lot from better graphics, some 'levels', and some bangin' music. That applause sound wears thin -real- quick.

If you got better pics and if you had it start slower, and then when your score hit like 30 you got a pause, applause, and switched to a new picture with faster countdown times for another 30 -- THAT would be a really GREAT game.

Bezman responds:

Cheers.

You're definitely right about the sound.

I was actually quite pleased with the graphics, but I suppose - as my friend says - it looks worse because there only is one picture.

I like your idea for various levels. I may well implement something along those lines when I come back to this idea.

I suppose some loop, along with a 'stop music' button would make it better. One thing that put me off is that I don't know how to speed music up, so I though the music would start seeming a bit slow as the game sped up.

Still, when I return to the idea, I'll try to address the issue.

Cheers for a genuinely useful review. :)

Stay funky,

Decent scripting

Good playability, and nice instructions. My only question: you can still change your bets after the initial deal. Is that permissible?

Aviare responds:

Wow, that's a big one that I totally missed. No, you shouldn't be able to adjust your bet after the first deal. So now you all know how to 'hedge' your bet! Just bet 10, then if you get a good hand, up the bet before you take your draw. Thanks for catching this, joeartguy!

It's true, the house always wins

It's just like losing it all in Vegas! Except all I'm out here is time.

Good sounds. I'd like to start with more than 10 credits, though. At least 20. Nice action, too.

[Pacman remix!]

Totally buggy

I fully applaud your efforts at coding, but you really need to do a lot better. Good song, tho.

At least I know you coded this yourself, and didn't just use the (much less buggy) version free from neave.com. Yay for not stealing! Hope to see better from you in the future.

Fadeliss responds:

thanks for the site no j/k ill fix most of them wait till v2!!! and if you dont belive my glitching skills look at tetris remix v2 then look at tetris remix v3

and no i never made a tetris remix it was already takin so i made a v2 and i claim it as mine

[Drink A'Lot]

Good idea BUT...

How do you know how much time you have left? And, it seems damn hard to win in the short amount of game play time allowed. Should be longer, and have more to it.
