<description><![CDATA[bovi - 

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate the way you have clearly identified the problems with the games you mention. My own experience with Dino Dave and Barkanoid2 was the same. As a result - along with today's comments about Jack's Crazy Cong reporting similar problems - I skipped even trying out Cong. 

It really is helpful when folks give specifics about why they liked or did not like the day's offering.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Before reading my comments below, I would like to say that I am not criticizing just to criticize, I was looking forward to and expecting this game to be a good one when I read the description, however I have to echo some of the comments above. 
I don't mind a game clone at all, some clones are better than the originals. :)

What follows is constructive criticism to allow you to improve the game, so you will get more customers interested in it, not just griping about it, hopefully it will be taken as such:

Graphics - backgrounds, etc are decent graphics. A windowed option should be given however.

Controls - poor laid out and not fully explained - no mention of the Alt key is even made for example. An option on what keys you want to use for the controls should also be added. I don't think a mouse option needs to be added, scrollers deserve to be played on a keyboard.

Movement - not responsive or over-responsive depending on what you are doing. For example a slight delay on pushing 'right' drops you off the ledge with the fire extinguisher then you have to restart the level. Or, if you aren't exactly below the ladder you cannot climb it.

Items - Not being able to carry them along for later use and having to drop them and they then vanish completely is silly. If you could at least pick them back up again, it would even be a minor improvement, but they should remain with you and you should be able to cycle through which one you wish to use as you progress.

Intro - Wonderful intro (reminded me of an epic movie intro), but at 17 megs for the avi and 3.3 megs for the intro sound, way too much overkill in size. That is 45% of the entire game size! Use a static picture and have the full intro as a separate download if people wish to get it. You're losing business with the dialup crowd on this due to size. The in-game music is only 2.9 megs in size. Some priorities need to be re-thought here.

Overall program size - Instead of all the duplicate German and English pictures, documents, etc. provide a separate English and German download. Once again to appeal to the dialup customers.

Help/Documentation - Severely lacking. Only the item points are addressed and nothing else. Sure it is just a platform scroller game but at least advise people how to easily get to the next level, not that someone has to die a dozen times to figure this out. Just 1 or 2 pages would suffice.

Advancing - Having to use a password to enter to get back to the level you were on is too tedious and doesn't add to the gameplay enjoyment. Put an auto-save into the game to remedy this. People want to have fun, not do bookwork to play the game.

Hopefully these changes/improvements will be made as it will improve a promising game!

Thanks for giving me the chance to review it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This game has very bad colision detection.
If i got on an elevator with an axe, i would fall through the elevator !

#26, you can get rid of any object you have by pressing ALT.

extremely difficult to control. movement was not fluid and the caracter walks by increments. basicly each touch of the keyboard will put you in exactly the same place, a few steps forward.
there is no way to hold and stop the the caracter on a given place, if its not one of the "step" locations.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[After reading comments I decided not to install this one. I have already got some really good games since I found out about this site. I am very sad about the last 2 games. Please release some 
PRE-TESTED games that have the bugs worked out already.I look forward to more great games to come.Thanks.

<description><![CDATA[This is by far the worst game to date - free or not.
looks like they spent all there time making there own logo instead of beta testing the game. Controls are not explained very well and objective is also not explained. You can't drop anything once you pick it up to use ( must time out )so you can't jump or climb while you have it, so you get trapped very easy.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hmmmm .... I read the bad reviews for Barkanoid 2 but downloaded it and did find it to be as poor as people had suggested. With the comments here for Jack's Crazy Cong suggesting that this one is in the same league for poor gameplay, plus with a file size of 32+ Meg, I'm afraid I'm not going to bother. I do enjoy a large percentage of the games offered here and am very grateful for the service, but I think I'll save my disk space and ride out the wait for tomorrow's offering by playing some of your previous offerings.]]></description>
