[ProjectGravity]

Firstly, I don't know what music you used, but it sounds amazing.

The game itself could be better. The controls aren't impossible to figure out like other people seem to think they are, but they aren't especially obvious either (for anyone wondering, just click the grey arrow). Regardless, clearer instructions would definitely help. Also descriptions of the power-ups. The heart adds health and pac-man lets you eat walls (not sure about this), but what is the shield supposed to do? The power-ups aren't easy to access during the game either since you have to click on them with the mouse, meaning you can't flip gravity, making you much more likely to die. Adding keyboard shortcuts (for all of the buttons) would make the power-ups a lot more accessible. Finally, not a big thing but the speed the gravity changes could be faster (you can get stuck behind walls and it's very annoying) and you can flip gravity in mid-air (intentional?).

Sorry for the massive block of text but I like where this game is going - it's just really hard to be good at for the wrong reasons at the moment. Keep going at it (I know it's only 2-3 months old :P).

Thanks for the feedback.

[Pixel Madness]

I like the style of this game. The game mechanics are good. However, this looks like a game which was designed by someone who took "the cool kid's" advice. The flashing ruined it for me. Also, I can tell that all the levels are possible, but the late levels are almost exactly the same and Level 20 is designed not to be completed. You can only beat it by fluke, like many of the levels in the game. Not quite sure the music fits either.
If TL;DR, good game idea, just make it a puzzle, not a fluke. And remove the strobe.

This brings back memories of frustration. If I could go higher than 10, I would, but I can't =(. This game is amazing. If you make a 5th version, perhaps add in more variety levels, perhaps as checkpoints. (thanks web-page zoom)

Really really cool game! Slightly too linear in terms of level positioning but a nice concept. I hope you make more!

[Jump Start]

I like the concept. It's a good concept. However, I just can't feel it. I like the trail, but I think the particles effects from jumping are a bit too over the top as it seems to lag the game. Also, I feel some of the easy levels are too hard to be easy. A longer jump might fix that. If you polish up the menus (which aren't too bad) and find a way to remove the lag, you have a good game here. For now...well, I can hardly talk.

KeyEliminator responds:

Thank you for the comment and criticism, I have started to redesign the graphics and start pushing the game to a stricter guideline. As follows, I've been experimenting with the game and started to fix these lag issues and the jump mechanic. I shall try my honest best to create a more better experience. Again Thanks.

Great game, really addicting. Educational too (so I can play at school). Just one request, please make a multiplayer version (so you can race eachother to the top or something).
