"Tonight, on sixty minutes..."

submission: Swords and Sandals 3:Solo

date: October 20, 2008

I haven't played the other Swords and Sandals game, but I figured I'd give this a try and found I really enjoyed it. I'm not usually one for these kind of games, but this had a good amount of variety, even for a demo.

Which brings me to my next point...It really grinds my gears when I see an extreme, over-the-top negative reaction from some users towards great developers who want to be able to make enough money to eat and pay the bills. Fun fact - it seems that everyone who left a bad review for that reason has never themselves contributed anything to this site.

I'm a developer too (granted, nowhere near your standard!) and I do find it funny when some users get pissy about the fact that we have the audacity to put an ad in a game, or put a link to another version on our own sites, or in your case upload a very comprehensive demo which could well be a full game in it's own right.
I realise it's a very small minority of users (probably very young angry kids who have no understanding of money or the real world), but it is still quite annoying and insulting to developers.

Anyways, rant over...Awesome game :)

"Fun and a little educational"

submission: Word Scramble

date: November 30, 2007

A fun game, but it seems to be very luck-based. For example, in one game I ended up with a terrible score because I had all long obscure words and in another game I got the top score of 90,000 because I had all simple 4 letter words. Perhaps you should either have several difficulty levels or make the words more difficult when the player is doing well?
