"AMAZING game!"

A very well constructed game. Interesting concept, wonderful execution, and a beautiful game all-around.

I do however have one complaint: If you run out of fuel while your experience is being added, it seems that you lose, even if your last combo would have put you over the threshold for the next level. Aside from that, it was an extremely entertaining game!

"Really good"

Overall, this is a wonderful addition to the Portal. The gameplay is solid and the objective is clear (and usually manageable). However, I've noticed that there are occasionally problems. For instance, on level 14 it is possible to throw your dart straight through the right side of the "maze." I'm not sure if this happens because it hits the wall at a certain angle or speed or something else entirely, but it created quite a bit of frustration for me.

"Reasonable Game"

submission: Bomberman Extreme!

Overall, not a bad platform game. I've got a couple of specific comments, though.

First, in the first level, walking into that bar that holds the spikes up in the air automatically jumps you to the top of the spikes. It seems as if you're supposed to jump over these spikes, so this would be a small bug.

Second, it would be useful to have brief directions before the start of the game. You wouldn't need a whole lot more than a picture of all the items and a short description of what they do when you collect them, but incorporating such a thing would be really nice.

If you add a little more complexity to your games (either in detail of the art or in gameplay goals), I think that they can be incredible.
