[Rubber Bullets]

Is it your name animation or game? Too much ugly animation before even Title screen appear. Let's start playing faster.
You game Title is Rubber bullets but I can see red brick wall on the Title screen and no rubber or bullets, why?
Text on buttons too small and unreadable.
I press PLAY and arghh! some ugly comic again. When will be some play? Ok, I press down arrow and back to Main menu. Press START. And what? And I can see Levels screen! I want to play your game man, let me play, please! On Levels screen I can see a lot of useless information with zero numbers and 3 big buttons - Upgrades, Achievements, Back. Oh, I find small red number "1" in top left corner. I think it can be my path to PLAY. Oh, yes, I start playing!
I don't want to write a lot about gameplay - it's just awful.
I think title "Killing green microbes by black ejaculation" most appropriate description for gameplay.
And there NO RUBBER BULLETS!
So do something with it please.

[Escape Run 2]

This is awesome skill game! Action jumping + timing and pixel hunting :) Great work. If you like it from first level then next will be even better - HAAARDCORE!

[Quadpop]

Menu transition effect is too slow, cool but must be faster as for me.
Maybe this game will be playable on mobile (I think you did it for mobile) but for web it not works. I suggest to change click to slash for web version.
Good luck.

[Ripping the Sky]

Awful controls. Can't play with such clustered movements.
Give more time to learn from start. I die faster then understood how to move left/right.
Levels design rude and poor. Don't set coins in places where I can't pick up them even in theory.
Poor designed game.
Graphics and GUI are ok, music good also.

ryoganzx responds:

Game updated.
-Stage generation system modified.
-Howto button

[Prison Bus Driver]

Gameplay is so boring but I can play it again and again just for music + sound fx with backgrounds and characters. Game is poor but atmosphere is very cool and fun :)

[Zombie Truck 2]

WTF? I killed several zombies through first level and get 0 money in shop? Why?
Oh, I understand... I need to shoot zombies, not destroy them by my cool car.
But your Title - Zombie Truck, right?
Hm, I like to destroy them by car much more then shooting. It's so simple and cool and only arrows controls needed. More fun with less controls.
Music is ok, GUI not bad also (cool texts). Graphics can be better, poor animations.

[Space Balls Challenge]

I think it's wrong. Wrong setting, wrong graphics, objects, controls, wrong everything. With such Controls it's not playable. Balls are so boring slow. This is billiard in space setting, right? So create good billiard with cool space backgrounds and interesting balls. Now it looks like trash balls with sponsor logo :)

[Asteroids Game]

I think you add nothing to 1 zillion similar games.

nachocpol responds:

The idea of the 1GameAMonth challenge is to make a game in a month (I made this in 7 days) it is a programming challenge I am not implementing any new mechanics.

Thanks for your review.

[Zombie Rush]

I killed 155 :) Cool. It's addictive and fresh. Controls are simple and intuitive. Graphics and Menu are simple but stylish.
With upgrades, explosions, more fun characters and interesting death animations it can be new hit. One of my favourite new games through last week.
Good luck with next iteration I hope you build full game!
Did you get some award on LD#33?

facelesstheone responds:

Thank you so much for the kind words - it's the great inspiration for me to move on! =) Fun characters, death animations, upgrades and explosions - I'll do my best to provide such an experience.
There is still voting phase on LD#33, so I don't know if I'll get somewhere =)

[Pirates & Cannons]

Solid Graphics + Smooth gameplay. I like it. Not to hard from start, than complexity grow slowly. Good level design work.
Character's death is great :) Good background blur also. GUI design can be better but it's just my prefer.
Not sure why you set that the player need to click on gun before fire.
Overall good and fun game.
And sure it can be improved even more :)
