Spy Game While Spy Game was obviously made for some contest, it has a really strong idea that makes for a fun 30 minutes and probably could have been more. You're playing as an undercover agent with the ability to disguise herself as other people on sight, investigating the disappearance of some ch...

Wizard Blocks Wizard Blocks is a puzzle game. It feels really familiar if you've played any similar games, and there's not much else going on here. You pick up blocks and throw them at other blocks to try and make the blocks go away. There are a few modes, but only the puzzles are kind of interesti...

Invasion of the Mantle Dwellers For what appears to be a first time effort, this is a pretty decent start to a game. Well, the story is decent anyway. In this game, you play as a young man investigating an infestation by some strange, cute creatures called Mantle Dwellers. The people of his town ar...

Ramble Planet Well, it tried. I was fairly engaged with this game for about fifteen minutes, exploring around looking for things I could actually interact with, but fatigue set in after the next half hour. The concept is solid--you're a guy trying to find some ship parts. I think that the game woul...

James Doppler's Epic Sci-Fi Fantasy Quest of Space Time Adventure for the Mind James Doppler's Epic is a stoner comedy RPG, and as such you should take it in as one. There's some humor in these things that rubs me the wrong way, but it's appropriate for the subject matter of the game. In this fifte...

That's fine, and good luck, but I can only evaluate the game that exists. If you wanted criticism withheld, you shouldn't have released the game in its current state. I am holding every game here to the same standard. And no, I did not read the description of any of the games. You shouldn't expect e...

Samanthuel's Lovely Home Samanthuel's Lovely Home isn't really a game. It's a showcase for some great art, a look in to the creator's life and philosophy (or perhaps just an idealistic portrayal of it) and could perhaps be something created as a mild therapy session for the creator. There's nothing...

Doom Tactics This game is called Doom Tactics on the game list. The zip file is tactics.zip. The rpg file is eubeta.rpg. The Title screen says Doom: Evil Unleashed. Make up your mind, dude. While this game has improved since I played it several years ago, it's still not doing much to impress me due...

Dragons Now that high-quality music is possible to include in OHR games, new challenges have arisen for developers using the engine. Music placement is an art, almost as much so as music composition. It's impressive how much an unfitting soundtrack can bring a game down. Dragons suffers from this, ...

Slimeomancy It feels like cheating, seeing this game again. I know it came out years ago, and it was pretty much the same thing this time around. Of course, that's not to say Slimeomancy is a bad game. It's a decent puzzler, simple but engaging. The music fits, the style works. It's still a little ...

Zero: Secret Pasts Collide This ended up being the most disappointing game in the contest for me so far, not because it's remarkably bad, but because steps could have been taken to alleviate the issues I have with it. Zero is a Final Fantasy clone in the best sense--a game that is essentially tryin...

Mr. Triangle's Adventure It doesn't really matter how the author tries to sugarcoat it; Mr. Triangle was the main character in a newbie game that had text boxes and graphics like this: http://www.castleparadox.com/gamelist/201/172/1.jpg Mr. Triangle's Adventure seems to be aimed at children, and it...

t4r4d1ddl3 Another game I really don't have much to say about, mainly because as far as I can tell it isn't a game. You just walk around and look at pretty visuals until you can no longer find a way forward. And yeah, the graphics are pretty impressive. It's all drawn in a surreal style set to appr...

table table is a very short horror/joke game. I can't talk about too much without spoiling what happens, but I guess I have to write something. The presentation is okay. It starts out with a little narration setting you up for the events to come, but it's not written well and has a lot of typos. Th...
