Slime Salad

Nothing to say about "Ask Surlaw". I don't quite get how it works, so meh.. :hurr: Haven't checked the reviews since I've never played any of those games yet . You ask random questions and get silly answers. All of the questions are from community members, and the "story" follow...

The metaphor that everybody seems offended by is the "colony of handicapped" people one at the beginning, and I was taken aback a bit by that at first too, but having thought about it, I think it is not a terribly bad metaphor. It implies that the handicapped are fooling themselves when t...

i agree the word choice could have been selected a little more carefully, but the fact that he's including himself in that group of handicapped game makers should alleviate some of the tension Honestly, the self-deprecating bits just came off as general angst, which on top of the overall smugness l...

I love the bonus question. If [<3] doesn't win, it will be a crime.

Doesn't Gato Sucio already have like, three reviews? There are "real" OHR games with less than that. :/ The Special Edition has some pretty significant differences from the old one, and it doesn't have any reviews in HamsterSpeak. It's too bad 8bit hadn't played the original in order to c...

We've got lots of reviews, new features, and the return of Ask Surlaw. Remember to vote for your favorite art...

Slither's voice ruled

Easiest way for now is just to remove the Order command from the main menu.

You have to basically make each text box it's own few lines of code, since you can't play/stop sound effects through text boxes. This would be a great engine update HINT HINT Done. It is in the current nightly. Sorry for not doing this *before* you went to all that trouble, RMZ. Haha, holy crap. Yo...

Thoughts on the finale -The voice acting added a lot to it. It would have been better if the music in these scenes were much quieter, but other than that it all worked. -The final Vlad and Slither fights are extremely well animated. -The bonuses rule -The credits are my favorite in an OHR game Also,...

Going to disagree and say that no, it doesn't ruin anything, and most people won't notice.

Pepsi Ranger wrote:On a side note, the review was supposed to be broken into three pages (one per chapter) for easier reading. I don't know why they were relumped into one massive document. I didn't send them that way.

It was easier for me to edit this way, given my time constraints.

I'm certainly happy to take more art submissions of all sorts.
