More game reviews

Just some more notes on what I liked or didn't like for some games that caught my eye.

Project Alpha
  • No music during the intro
  • Trial mode makes me choose a storage device even though you can't save games
  • I am confronted with a big screen of controls
  • The font is hard to read in places
  • Text appears on top of each other in places
  • The sound levels are very inconsistent
  • A few bugs (when I try to resume the game (with no saved game), things flash and I get the same error message back.

I looks like there may be some deep gameplay here, but the game is a bit confusing and doesn't feel very polished.

Spy Chameleon

  • Trial mode makes me choose a storage device
  • It is very bright and cheery
  • The art is basic - definitely "dev art", like my game.
  • Fairly clever gameplay mechanic
  • Introduces you gradually, which is nice

Overall I liked this simple game. For what it is, it seems fairly polished, though it isn't really the kind of game I would play.

Fittest

  • Made me choose a storage device
  • The difficulty ramps up nicely
  • Graphics are basic but good
  • The music is a little annoying

It lacks a little polish. The main menu, however, is fairly slick. This just makes the rest of the game feel under-polished.
