[AVOIDAL]

Great Zero Button Game!

This is a simple concept executed very well. It rewards you with more variety and challenge as you improve your skill.

HybridMind responds:

Thanks a lot!

I also like the auto-pause when I switch tabs

I've been a fan of this game since Beta ;) It's the best implementation of a simplified RTS concept since Phage Wars.

Unique take on the avoider/collector genre.

Great use of purely-abstract gameplay! I love that you can choose to play cautiously, or try to weave through the black squares. It makes for an excellent risk/reward system.

HybridMind responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm also glad you picked up on the risk/reward mechanic. A lot of players don't realize that they control the difficulty through their movement style. In the end they are the AI to a large extent.

[Enough Plumbers]

Brilliant puzzle game, great homage.

Not only have you made a great puzzle game, but you've shown the internet you can make a Mario homage without actually using any copywritten sprites!

[Haunted Mirror Maze]

It too kme a minute to get this..

But it's a really clever logic game once you've introduced all 3 elements, and you introduce them a t a good pace to teach the player how to play.

Story!

A gorgeous art/story game with a great new play mechanic. Blocking shots with your body is fun! I still haven't unlocked the second ending, though.

[Home Sheep Home]

A GOOD branded game!?

This is the best IP-branded web game I've seen in a very long time. Kudos for Aardman for having a flash team! This is a great update of a Lost Vikings style game by adding 2D physics. The puzzles are simple and elegant.

[Tetraform]

Never really played anything quite like this!

Great game! It makes me want to keep playing to see all the different ways the basic mechanic is explored.

[Level Up!]

Wow!

Incredible. Expect to see people using some of your gameplay innovations in the future because they are great!

[The Company of Myself]

Great Game

Awesome new riff on the replay mechanic! I especially loved that you tied it to the cooperative platformer (a la Lost Vikings) mechanics. Lost Vikings was a big inspiration to Chronotron as well. I played through the whole thing in one sitting and really enjoyed it! Excellent storyline too. Forcing the player to sacrifice the woman in the flashback was inspired!
