[Malapa's Challenge]

This game was great!

I really enjoyed playing Malapa's Challenge. I must admit, at first, I thought this was going to be one of those crappy RPG Flash games, but I was quite surprised to find my self playing this game for about an hour and a half. Unfortunately, one of the reasons why it took that long was because of the animation. The artwork is really good, but the animations took way too long. It was also a really tedious task to finally start moving Malapa around. I got stuck at the very first part right after you defeat Minotaur. I couldn't figure out what to do next. Also, the enemies' status/life meters were NOT visible half the time. Filter out these bugs, and you'd have a great RPG. Perhaps you could provide detailed instructions for this game in the future. As for the character design, Malapa kind of resembles this BDSM type of Anti-Hero. He also reminds me of that old singer group from the early 90's called Right Said Fred. I guess it was his bald head? lol Anyway, keep up the good work.

[x-wing meets tie]

Whoa!!! Talk about a trip to the past!

This one reminded me a lot of COMBAT! for the good ol' ATARI 2600 system. The only difference? COMBAT was a lot funner to play.

[kung-fu kitty]

I got a laugh from this one......

It's all fun.........and you have EXCELLENT taste in music if you chose PWEI. :-)

[Anger]

That was definitely relaxing!

Since I can't do this kind of shit in real life, it's great to know I can do it in the Flash world. lol

[2D Boxing]

Punch Out! for Flash!

It's about damn time someone did a good conversion of a "Punch Out!" type game for Flash. The graphics were nicely drawn, and a lot of the animations reminded me of the old Punch Out! game for the NES. I especially liked the sound. The music and sound effects were crisp and clear, and best of all they were not irritating at all! The soundtrack fit this game nicely. The other thing was the control. I really liked how accurate the control scheme was. The boxer should be as fast as the player's hand. I'm glad you didn't decide to use the arrow keys. That would have been a shame if you did. I actually wouldn't consider this a "2D" game. True, the images we see on our monitors are 2 Dimensional, but this had a 3D kind of feel to it. Just like the classic Punch Out! game. Good game, good graphics, good sound, now all you have to do is work on other punching combos. Excellent work! :->

[>> Murder Mystery 2 <<]

I enjoyed this short little detective mystery.

It's too bad it was so short though! Still, it kept me occupied for a few minutes. I really liked the idea of using your "magnifying glass" by right clicking and zooming in. That was a really nice touch. As a matter of fact, this is one of the first Flash games I've played where you have to zoom in to proceed with the game. Excellent interactivity. Great overall job. Perhaps you'll be doing a "Murder Mystery 3"? I'd like to see that.

[True Warriors Demo]

Not a bad first effort.

I like your art style. Especially your "Hero" character Chris. But, the enemy he was attacking, wasn't that one of the bosses from the Super Nintendo game "Ninja Warriors" ? I could have sworn I've seen that character outline before. Pardon my nitpicking regarding the graphics, I guess I just have a memory for cool art.

[Bay Area Blackouts]

Now this is pure clickin' funny shit!!!

Being from Frisco', I thought that this was gonna' be about those fucking blackouts that PG&E had forced upon us, (those fucking greedy BASTARDS!) but after I saw the dank leaf, I totally understood the whole "blackout" theme. I'm glad to see that there's FINALLY a Bay Area submitted Flash movie that actually involves the Bay Area! :-) I enjoyed this "click fast or you lose" game very much. I swear, the dude from Berkeley is JUST like a friend of mine. He listens to Limp Bizkit, and he even smokes a "golden bong"!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I have to admit, this Flash movie made my day. Thanks!

MadFLeX responds:

Man, thanks for the good review, glad you liked the game. I'm gonna start up a sequel I think, If you've got any ideas let me know.

[Combat Instinct 2]

I never thought you could top Combat Instinct.

Well I was proven wrong. I thought Combat Instinct was to be my favorite Flash game for a long time. Now it's been replaced with something better; Combat Instinct 2!!!

What can I say about this game? Pure fun! Man I had a blast playing this game. From watching the cool storyline, to the actual gameplay, everything was put together well here. The music and sound effects were of course taken from Half-Life and Unreal, but who cares? It's the game that counts. The graphics were very nicely done just like the previous Combat Instinct. I especially liked the new Sniper Scope which was done very well. Although you MUST make sure that the cursor/arrow is in the CENTER of the Flash screen BEFORE you begin the Sniper Scope section of the game, I had fun using the sniper rifle. A totally good use of Flash capabilities.

This game is just too cool. I believe that this game is going to set the standards for Flash gaming.

Well done McFretN!!

[Kangoo vs Kangoo]

Not a bad lil fighting game.

This idea for using animals was attempted by GameTek back in 1993 when they released a decent selling game called "Brutal-Paws Of Fury" for the SNES, Genesis, and Sega CD. Later down the line, they released a sequel called "Brutal-Above The Claw" which had lackluster sales figures because the game was released only on Sega's Ill-Fated Genesis add-on the 32X. Since not too many people owned the Sega 32X, the sequel never had a chance to appeal to anyone. As for this Flash Game, it's very reminiscent of Brutal. I liked the animation for the characters, but they were a little bit on the small side. However, the control was pretty good, and making contact with your oppnent seemed alright. I liked the 2 kick combo that the characters had. It's too bad there was no music for this game, but still, it's a neat little fighting game for 2 players done in Flash.
