[nario preview {zx spectrum style}]

Saying you take inspiration from the ZX Spectrum isn't a free out to the game looking like shit, especially since it isn't actually accurate to it nor homebrew for it.

The ZX Spectrum also had sound in its games.

[World of blocks]

Very, VERY early build, as made apparent by the version number being listed as 0.0.1

Placing blocks seems to not work, nor does changing blocks, and breaking blocks is VERY disjointed from where my mouse cursor is. Movement is very weird, seeming to be based on pressing a key to move forward, and holding left or right of that to turn while moving, as pressing anything other than forward snaps the camera to that direction and rotates the controls accordingly??

Big fan of the Rat Rectangle, but that isn't enough to justify uploading something that can barely be considered a functional demo

Edit for 0.0.2: Still not functional enough to be considered a game, adding music you don't own and an overbearing ambience loop does not fix this

voptik123 responds:

Yes its very early build so i working on 0.0.1_01 that will be bug fix, most of things are broken bcs it made in construct 3.

[Dragonsweeper]

Yahoo, I won!! Really fun spin on minesweeper, the perfect balance between a pseudo-sudoku-esque math puzzle, minesweeper, and "fuck it we ball" energy if you really feel like it.

[Platformer]

Entirely unremarkable other than the fact that, intentional or not, it pretty much starts the same way Super Meat Boy does, which got a laugh out of me.

Incredibly easy and simple, offers no challenge whatsoever.

[Blocky 2 DEMO 2.5]

Honestly I'm very, *very* impressed seeing something like this come out of an engine like Scratch, considering the ridiculously low bar set by the average submission using it.

However, I feel like there's definitely room to improve when it comes to the movement, the character feels way too slow walking, *especially* for something so inspired by Sonic. Wall kicks like how they are in MegaMan X, or something along those lines would also be nice, as I got pretty stuck trying to get out of the pit around the middle of the stage for a while, until i seemingly clipped onto a platform above it.

[Balloon Bash]

It's just a Flappy Bird clone, with added groundwork for future monetization/ads thrown at you as soon as you start the game.

Do better.

[Pengu Saves Christmas original]

"Aw omg this is so cute! This seems fun!"
*Cookies explode outwards upon damage*
"SONIC THE HEDGEHOG??"

[Sonic and eggman's parkour]

Has potential, but lacks a LOT of polish, such as the terrain and bg being plain black n white, lack of sounds or music, the platforms acting like they're slightly rounded, or any real driving force behind making progress or playing

Also, really bizzarre size, why is the game so large?
