My brain's reviews on the matter (don't kill the messenger!)
Games in alphabetical order.
*Man Who Had a Boat
nice graphics
cool gameplay
same-level respawn feature: awesome!
moving objects!
jungle, swamp, space! awesome!
*Cannons
Nice graphics
)
Gameplay idea is sound. Ball location feature is a good idea. Fun, once speed is set.
-speed is not automatically set.
-bouncing arrow, gameplay, was confusing at start > no instructions at the main page. (even though instructions in readme)
-(minor) space/enter at main screen work randomly when moving around in menus (options space/menu stuff OK)
*Free Fall
nice idea
nice graphic, although
-more would have helped
-So it doesn't end, eh? Losing quits the game!
Well, infinite levels, so....
*Falling Stars
good idea
graphics are great (for monochrome)
Monochrome is OK but:
-blinking!
*Fundee
EXTREMELY unique idea!
Good that there is no sound...
Awesome stickfigure/tomato/hand/background gfx!
-Third level doesn't play properly
---stickfigures are WAY too rude
*rjb
Graphics are good.
Game has potential on lo-speed computers.
----refresh rate and playing speed seems uncontrolled or too high (same as Cannons except now can't even change it).
-no in-game instructions
*Tanks
Good overall idea.
Arrows/rocks/fuel: good ideas for gameplay.
Graphics are OK, but
-tanks look more like bugs at first, was hard to tell where the front is.
-Menu is awkward. (menu selection is slow, color choice is too dark, menu blinks sometimes) At first didn't notice the speed control, which made it difficult to play.
-Speed is still too fast even at lowest level
Ok!
Here are the games again, most fun to not as much fun, IMHO:
Man Who Had a Boat
Cannons
Fundee
Tanks
Free Fall
Falling Stars

Peace cannot be obtained without war. Why? If there is already peace, it is unnecessary for war. If there is no peace, there is already war."
