This is an excellent trading game with strategy elements. It is similar to the Merchant Prince series, but on a smaller scale and less options, however it is still remarkable for a Flash game.
The player must lead a merchant caravan from town to town, and can buy from a selection of goods. Each town has different prices for each good, and the player must plan his journeys in order to make a profit. Some of the products are illegal and trafficking in them is a risk.
Along with profit comes the possibility to upgrade your means of transport, hire party members and buy arms and armour, join one of the opposing factions and even conquer towns.
Depending on your preferences, you can achieve either a good or evil reputation and become either an enforcer of the law or a ruthless robber.
This is an excellent dungeon crawler game. As you assemble a party of heroes of different classes and explore a dungeon to defeat servants of evil, slay monsters, discover treasure and save the world from a terrible evil.
Each level of the dungeon is populated by a enemies from a different category, while in a few of these levels those enemies will band together. You can improve your heroes' skills with each level and the equipment you find becomes more powerful, but so do the opponents you face, and you are always up for a challenge. The boss you must defeat to complete the story is an impressive challenge, with the ability to create a mirror image of your party and pit them against you.
The battles require good tactics on your part. Your heroes will only be able to equip a few of their skills, so it is important to chose the best for an enemy, and know when to use them (for example, a quick rogue can cripple an enemy, so that the slower warrior can overwhelm that opponent).
This is a good puzzle game that implements original shooting mechanics as the basis for solving the 24 levels.
Each level consists of a number of targets, presented by medieval knights and royalty, protected by a different set of obstacles, in the form of walls which form a castle. Using a catapult and various projectiles (of which all but the first must be unlocked), the player must develop a strategy to collapse the enemy castles upon their occupants.
The castle and locations of targets in each level is different, which means that the player must anticipate the trajectory of the projectiles according to the catapult's release and adapt for every situation. A very satisfying result that can be achieved is the completion of a level with just one, carefully planned shot.
Upon completion of the 24 included levels, a level editor becomes available, making it possible to design your own castles and share them with friends.
This is a good and original puzzle game.
Throughout the course of 25 levels, the player is encouraged to consider the literal meaning of both the level title and a hint given after a period of time, and to perform PC operations in a strange meta-game to obtain the results the levels suggest.
Certain puzzles can be solved by using various hardware components of your PC (e.g. using the scroll wheel on your mouse), and there is always an alternative involving the mouse and / or keyboard in case you are missing a microphone or another peripheral (such as moving the mouse to suggest motion instead of moving in front of the webcam).
This is a good, although much too short, adventure game.
I suspect the developer's intention for this first episode was to create and test both the engine and general mechanics of the game, along with setting up the artistic direction of the series.
Although set in Wonderland, the game's atmosphere is dark. Alice's dead body, her diary written on the walls with invisible ink which can only be read with a special lens will draw you in and the only drawback to the game is the short duration.
The graphics are very well suited to the story and tone of the adventure, while Henry Hall's "Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Bogeyman" is a perfectly selected theme song.
This is a very good space ship arcade shooter.
Each level brings new challenges: the different enemy ships each have their own attacks and the boss of each level has a new strategy that you need to adapt to.
Numerous ship upgrades for various characteristics, each with several levels. make the gaming experience very rewarding, as every single upgrade can have a great impact when replaying an old level or trying a new one.
A bonus level where you must face all of the bosses that appeared up to that point is a very nice addition.
This is a good turret simulation game.
It is very challenging, with a great number of both land and air enemies attacking from numerous sides simultaneously.
It requires a very high level of attention, good reaction times and target prioritisation, with long term fund management strategies between attack waves.
