[Winknows 7 v1.7]

Classic Windows parody with a dash of modern surrealist humor injected. Unfortunately this type of thing doesn't do too much for me anymore, but I still appreciate it nonetheless. (Also, the button game froze my window and I'm not sure if it's meant to do that?)

Ill fix the button glitch and also thanks for the review :)
EDIT: fixed

[forgiveness 2: redemption]

This kinda takes me back to the days of point-and-click Flash stuff from the mid-2000s, yet with the schizophrenic humor of 2022. I like this, though I do wish there was a bit more depth to it - a proper "restart" feature would also be appreciated, refreshing the page feels like a kinda janky hack.

[Highschool Bathroom Simulator]

accurate and also hilarious

[Bebder Game Classic]

Ever taken acid? This game is what it's like to be on acid. Why is Nepeta there? Why is Doomguy mowing his lawn? Why does stepping on his lawn cause instant death? (OK that's actually fair, but y'know, I need to pad out the length.) Why is the theme music modern blues recorded on what sounds like a 1930s record lathe? (Put that shit on Bandcamp by the way.)

So many questions that will never be answered. What I do know is that this is the greatest RPG of all time. Final Fantasy V, sit your ass down, meet Bebder Game.

best review so far

[KłełeBlocks]

Ordinary Tetris clone. Not too much to write home about.

[Taco's Adventure]

Although the physics engine is a bit weird - what you have for "running' speed I'd consider walking speed - and there are certain times where I get stuck on grassy sections (which makes the Clown Cat fight harder than it should be), this is a pretty good Unity-based platformer. The red bricks being used as both a weapon of sorts and a platform is pretty clever, although the way they spin make traversing them much harder than it should be (ESPECIALLY in the second chapter).

Oh yeah - let it be noted that the sprite work in this is pretty good. I like it a lot.

[Platformer Game]

Although it controls like a tech demo - and the kind of Flappy Bird-esque section near the end makes this very clear - this was actually kind of fun. I feel like this has potential.

Lim98SE responds:

thanks! im going to try to make more games, mostly platformers but im working on a puzzle game

[Mirrorball 2(DEMO)]

Although I feel this has a lot of potential, the incredibly rough state of the game at present makes it a bit hard to play. As well, level 3 can be fairly easily cheesed using clever maneuvering to bounce yourself against the vertical edge of a wall while the other guy bounces up and down on spikes - though admittedly, that could be the correct option and I haven't realized it yet.

tl;dr - this feels more like a tech demo than a game, but I would be interested in seeing this concept worked upon.

Someonethtexists responds:

It is a very rough demo, and yes that is the intended solution for level 3. I can continue to polish and update the game as long as people are interested. Thanks for the feedback!
