Cue the hateful replies from other viewers, but at some points the graphics have black outlines which appear to have been drawn with a brush, and at other points, mainly vehicles and other mechanical objects, there are no outlines. However, this is a great mini series, and has a great air of proffesionality about it.
The backgrounds on this are much less crappy and better apart from possibly the British Flag and the American Flag, which were slightly pixelated. You also seemed to have solved the problem of the overelapping cursors. Bert is my personal favourite. I'm thinking about downloading him.
These are all really good effects, and I like how opposed to Cursors Of The Future (sorry for the comparison) you don't have a background for them, which is obviously better than a crap background. However, I would never use these as cursors as lots of them end up covering the screen, so you may want to consider making any cursor trails disappear sooner.
The cursors are very nice, I imaging the cube one was hard to code due to the cube's angle depending on the position, and my personal favourite was the DNA cursor. What was less likeable was how the cursors sort of overlapped into eachother when you changed cursor. Also, the backgrounds of the cursors were very unlikeable and unproffesional. However, great cursors all the same.
Great little time killer. Great little idea and the little touches are what made it excelent, such as the changing expressions of the bounceicles when they're picked up or another one is picked up, and the eyes following the picked up bounceicle is a brilliant little touch. However I agree with the others that this would benefit from an add and subtract button.
All in the summary. Just a great idea with a minimalist theme which is great, bright flashy colours to keep it interesting (the mind is simple when it's playing a game) and the levels are extremely interesting. Has great replayability. However, the caution in your description is out of place, it isn't THAT difficult, I completed it on my first attempt. I scraped through, but I still managed to make it through.
It must have taken alot of effort to make randomly generated settings, it would be interesting to know if the slopes and the clocks are placed on how well the player is doing. I like the graphics, they had a little charm that comes with simplicity. However, the player should be able to tilt the car and some more spacey elements would be neat. Nice physics.
Very good game, not too difficult, although maybe just a tad too easy. The final boss should be harder, maybe you should remove the grenade launcher and rifle. What was a very nice touch which i really liked was being able to see how long I had to go. The scenes in which the setting changed reminded me alot of Silent Hill and I enjoyed them, however, I wish there were more. I also wish there was some form of plot and explanation at the end, because that's the main reason i wanted to finish the game =P. It was a good length.
Bryant, that may be due to the aim of the game being to hit the blue fish and avoid the green, as is stated in the description.
On topic, the game is good, but yes, it IS too short. But the idea is very neat and original, and it is well executed. Some nice little tweaks though would be nice, such as ripples when the water is shot, and the wind blowing around the rubbish. However, the latter is just being picky and awkward. Nice game.
I enjoyed the graphics in this game, it was a good style. I enjoyed the world heading to dystopia, kind of reminds me of the V movies. Although it would have been nice to know more about how the Stingers are ruling the world, and the motivations would have been nice to know also. The colour scheme was very good, it suited the setting and was very consistent, which is always a plus, and it can be hard to avoid certain colours so that was good. The intergration of the two gameplays was good and the mission briefings were also wrote with good proffesionality. However, the game would have benefited from being harder and longer. All in all, a good game.

Backgrounds need more effort
