[Prison Basketball]

too frustrating...

Here's my suggestion, make the next X appear immediately after you shoot the ball, and then change the same amount of time as it does now after the ball goes in. Because it's a bitch and a half when you know you can make all the shots, but you just dont have the time to wait for the ball to go in, then run to the next x thats all the way across the court and shoot before the timer runs out. On the last 2 levels I played (10 shots in 20 seconds, and 10 perfect shots in 30 seconds) i found myself losing by 1 because the next x was nowhere near where i was and i had to get a perfect, then the MILLISECOND that i make it to the x and get lined up for the perfect shot, just before i shoot, like AS I'M PRESSING DOWN THE DAMN KEY, but before i press it down all the way, the X moves and i scream OH FUCK YOU YOU SONOVABITCH! anyways, good game other than that.

It was good...

and I know physics are a pain in the ass, but they were a bit too finnicky for my taste, waiting for the blocks to level out so you don't knock over your stack got old after the first 2 levels. Other than that though, great game.

4 & 8 from me.

Fun, fun and more fun!

There isn't really much I can say about this game except: Play it! Unless you just can't STAND rhythm games, you will definitely enjoy yourself! I had an overall positive experience with this game, however the difficulty settings seemed to be a little off.

1. Fun and addictive gameplay
2. Steep learning curve
3. Great song choices

From me: 9/10

[Stunt Bike Draw]

Frustrating...

It's been a while since I played excitebike for the NES, and the screenshot alone piqued my interest. However, with gameplay straight out of linerider minus the fun, I was greatly disappointed.

1. Fun concept, poor execution
2. Sub-par graphics
3. Ridiculously high difficulty

From me: 1/10

Endlessly entertaining...

I loved this game the minute I heard the music, and every second I continued to play it made me love it even more! The sense of speed gives a chill down my spine every time I play, and the timing with the music tickles my rhythm game-fanatic side's fancy.

1. Simple, intuitive gameplay
2. Stylized graphics that really fit the overall feel of the game
3. The sense of speed is AMAZING!!!

For being the best non-committal game I've played in a while, 10/10!

Mesmerizing...

This has to be one of the best rhythm games I've ever played! If I were to overlook the lack of song choices it would probably be THE best!

1. Excellent style and unique gameplay
2. Beautiful graphics
3. Easy to pick up and play

Overall it gets an 8/10 from me!

Good... But not great.

I enjoyed the game for the most part, but a few things bugged me:

1. If you die on the boss, you have to use your basic gun with no upgrades, which makes it quite a time-consuming process to down them.
2. Enemies are a bit too predictable.
3. All the secondary lasers feel the same, with the exception being the Photon Helix, which just feels cheap and overpowered once upgraded.

Those problems aside, I found myself spending quite a bit of time just messing with the different ship options (big rpg fan (min/maxer)) to find out the best possible combinations, and then a bit more time trying to beat the game itself. Overall a positive experience: 7/10
