Lancelost Game Review

Lancelost
Lancelost Platform Logo

Play Online: Lancelost
Developer: RastaTronics
Genre: Platform, Puzzle

Game Review
Lancelost is an excellent pixel style platformer and hyper-puzzle! The developers have made around 40 levels for you to clear, but not to worry. This is the kind of game that is not frustrating instead plenty to admire, especially that most of the more challenging levels have multiple solutions. You will clear with little effort.

The goal of the player is to find the lost lance in order to become the successor of the King. You are playing as knight with no combat abilities. During your adventure, you will face cute but ugly slime, fire wizards, evil boss and spikes that your armor can't even protect you. Here is the good news is you have mages to back you up in your quest. Use their magical powers to gain protective shield, speed, high jump and fly to help you get to the exit of each level.

The game started out kind of slow but it quickly picks up its difficulty after you get your first ability. As you move forward, you will obtain new abilities namely, double jump, dash and smash. The game is designed with time benchmarks, giving the truly hardcore players something to shoot for without making the levels gut-wrenching torture to get through. This is an enjoyable game and one of the best platformers I've played so far.

Nuclear Plant Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Nuclear Plant
Nuclear Plant Logo

Play Online: Nuclear Plant
Developer: PPLLAAYY Games
Genre: Shooter, Upgrades

Game Review
Imagine if over a decade from now, 99% of the entire population on Earth disappeared after the world nuclear war. Nearly all 7 billion of us. No oxygen left on the planet. Surviving animals, plants and trees have been mutated into horrible creatures. What are you going to do? It's time for a resurrection! As the lucky survivor, you got a viable seed capable of restarting life on the planet. Remember the mutants? Fighting off waves of enemies to buy yourself time. Lastly researches things and grow the last remaining viable seed into a plant.

It reminds oneself of Dude And Zombies but still fairly good one. It's actually really nice to have these short games once in a while. Easy enough that I finished it in just over 4 days on my first run. Just sit in the lab and dodge out of the way of anything that gets too close until you can get a top level research skill, then go to reload. I beat the game without buying more than three or so weapons. To me this genre of game is really appealing, spending your time between attacks wisely so you don't lose your head to the enemies' next wave.

Overall, I like how it combines both combat and upgrading such that it builds up the fun and satisfaction! Typically, only 0.00037% of humanity left and one of them who would rather make money selling you weapons than helping save humanity. Well, I suppose its game logic. :)

Relic of War Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Relic of War
Relic Of War Logo

Play Online: Relic of War
Developer: TogeProductions
Genre: Defense, Upgrades, Strategy

Game Review
The modern world is still living with the consequences of World War. It certainly does. Relic of war is however a interesting history strategy flash game set in alternate World War 2 timeline. Right from the beginning, you have the option to choose either between two belligerents in the game, one as Axis and another as Allies.

Play the Axis you start your game in Germany where you are the commander of the Nazi, you have to win four battles in Germany to capture the country and start conquering other territories in Europe, it has uncovered a powerful ancient relic and began harvesting its power. If you select Allies, you be placed in the US as the war starts. Your task basically is to conquer the country, and you do that by winning a series of decisive battles in each state. You only seem to get to conquer the United States though.

You will jump right into the game with a handful of units. You will then micromanage your troops to capture a building, eliminate enemies and ultimately destroy enemy's headquarter. If we don't end war, war will end us. In order to clear the stage, you have to send out the right troops, making the right support decisions, and buying the right extras and upgrades to make the troops more effective in battle. Remember to build some fortifications on the map to limit your enemy units passing by without taking huge losses.

Before taking over country by country, city by city. You will gain medals to put towards upgrades right after every stage. You will be brought to this gorgeous upgrade tree to build your ideal army. On this page, you get to add new units or customize your options like support and statistical upgrades. Take a look at my build in the Relic of War Walkthrough below. I hope it helps. :)

Personally I think it's an excellent game! Double thumbs up, don't you think? Small history lesson here; In the game context, "The Great War" is referring to WWII not WWI...

Planet Juicer Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Planet Juicer
Planet Juicer Logo

Play Online: Planet Juicer
Developer: YellowBouncyBall
Genre: Defense, Upgrade, Strategy

Game Review
Planet Juicer is really an attractive 2D Tower Defense Flash Game, having a similar approach towards Plants vs Zombies with cartoon graphics and playful voice overs. Not forgetting that it has a humorous evil plot. Well the Core Juice Corporation is counting on you to defend their drill as they mine planets of their cores. The planet cores are used to produce “Core Juice.” Your mission here is to protect your drill by building units and researching new technologies to strengthen your defenses.

Challenged accepted? You begin the flash game as an alien race mining planets. There is a total of 3 planets you need to invade, ranging from easy to medium to hard. Each planet has its own dangers and enemies. Basically these enemies come at you in various lined paths and you must build units on their way to attack. You start out with just one type of unit and as you progress, you will find yourself researching on new technology in a cool research style upgrade system. There will be new units, upgrades and secondary units to fit all your strategy needs. Throughout each level, you will be facing a boss at the end of that stage. I would say I enjoyed the bosses as they weren't just the same cut and paste, however they can be defeated quite easily.

All in all, relatively a good game, something to giggle over for a few hours of your life but not beyond that, unless you leave it on in the background just for the amazing soundtrack. ^^

Give Up Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Give Up
Give Up Logo

Play Online: Give Up
Developer: Jmtb02 & Tasselfoot
Genre: Platform, Action

Game Review
Failure is inevitable, what are you waiting for? Christmas? Hit that 'Give Up' button and be done with all this. Just give up playing this game. There is no need for you to finish the game. I wouldn't be impressed either way. Wait, don't! I am just kidding. You should at least try a few floors first before hitting the button. Haha!

Give up is a single screen jumping platformer. It is both hardcore and deadly. You will face spikes everywhere, loose platforms, lasers, saws and more. You are supposed to dodge all attacks and charge your way through till you reach the gray elevator safe and sound. They are 40 insane levels waiting for you. Each level builds upon the level before it, so it's impossible for you can survive within the first try. Not to worry, the hell levels are 1 - 25. I bet most of you will cry after that! You will either fall to your death or get shot down by the turrets without you knowing.

The whole, 'Give Up' idea is really cleverly portrayed in the flash game; Progressively getting more difficult till you feel like giving up. It does live up to its name and it's cruel. And I like how the computer annoys you every level and trying to convince you to give up by pressing the big blue give up button at the button of the game. Or maybe you should follow... Hitting the blue button isn't at all bad after all. I am certain you won't regret it.

Oh! By the way, I beat the game with 220 deaths at 22mins. Can you do better than me? :P

Give Up Guide

Give Up Screenshot
Give Up Logo

Solutions to Give Up
Levels 1 - 5: Learn controls, maybe turn down quality to avoid input errors if your computer isn't beastly.
Levels 6 - 9: Make long double jumps to cross the levels in 2 double jumps.
Level 10: Things start to pick up here. Double jump to land on the safe platform, then double jump between the spikes to avoid a chunk of the level. Straightforward from there.
Levels 11 - 13: Once both double jumps are performed, the right side of the higher part of the L-on-it's-back is a safe zone. Chill there to recuperate. Level 13 requires less dawdling.
Level 14 - 15: These are annoying because the fall sometimes prevents you from getting your jump. Fall to safety, perform level as usual. Starting from 15, jump up high to fall fast down to the exit, its safer.
Level 16 - 17: Safe zone isn't safe anymore.
Level 18 - 20: Keep calm and ride the falling platforms at the end, you'll be fine... you might need to jump once near the start, but after that just chill out and trust.
Level 21 - 24: Easy peasy. Lasers pretty much just mean you can't backtrack. Move confidently, but don't go ahead of yourself, because you can't move backward.
Level 25: This one is tricky because the lasers at the halfway point require you to be very precise. Do a very light double jump to get to the falling platforms, don't botch the end, and you're fine.
Level 26: Notice the scaling platforms... you'll be climbing these for a few levels, so remember them well. Very short double jumps will get you up the first two, regular jumps will get you up the last two.
Level 27 - 29: Just fall and run right, climb platforms, done. Pace yourself so that you can get by the saw... you'll be using that pace a lot. 28-29 are the same, just more intimidating.
Level 30: The keys here are to use a very short midair jump over the fast moving diagonal blade, and to wait on the last platform before the door so you don't commit suicide at the end.
Level 31: Use the high path - the two single blocks that are very high, and the last platform before the door.
Level 32: Can't use the high path for this one. Standard low path tactics EXCEPT: Scoot a little slowly off the starting platforms, and then push hard right into the invisible wall, you can make it by just as the horizontal blade there moves to the left of you. Then standard low path.
Level 33: From this point on take the high path. This is probably the hardest level in the game. Time your jumps so that the bullets miss you, stopping on all three high path platforms, and pray you can dodge bullets and make it to the exit from the last one.
Level 34-37: High path and laugh. The last platform is actually protected, so you can take a nap there. Jump timings are different based on gun locations, and avoid spikes by moving fast (hold right!).
Level 38-39: Wonky spike dodging here. There is an invisible platform just below the horizontal saw below the last platform. When the saw starts heading left, hop down, go beneath the dropping spikes, and hop up to finish. 39 is the same, except the spikes go up.
Level 40: Same as the last two, but more hectic. Hold right, time jumps, run under spikes (go a little extra to the right!), and jump up to win the game.

Stardrops Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Stardrops
Stardrops Cute Logo

Play Online: Stardrops
Developer: Ryan Koons
Genre: Action, Upgrades

Game Review
Stardrops is one of those games that are totally enjoyable to play. It is short flash game and I had fun during my break time. It is a quirky radial gravity game with fast paced, physics based action and a compelling upgrade system. Stardrops puts the player in the shoes of a boy looking to redeem himself for ripping his sister’s teddy bear. At a 20% discount, it cost 1,250 gems. Follow him into the night sky and collect as many gems as possible in the shortest amount of time when a needle and thread could have saved him days of trying to catch stars.

I would definitely say it is not exactly skill based but has all the elements of a good game: nice visuals, great audio, responsive controls, quasi-unique play style. The developers have done a good job in the upgrade system. It was something to help elongate the game, but not to the point where it was simply an upgrade grindfest. The story is also cute, giving the game its unique flavor till it made me puke rainbows! :)

While the game certainly isn't a generational barrier breaker, it sets out to be its best within its field and does it quite outstanding. Great attention to detail, particularly in the transition from game-screen to upgrade-screen. I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. I loved it!

Deadly Neighbors 2 Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Deadly Neighbors 2
Deadly Neighbors 2 Two Logo

Play Online: Deadly Neighbors 2
Developer: Nerdook
Genre: Strategy, Upgrades

Game Review
Everyone's had some serious problems with their neighbors at some point of life. I mean, those that really trying hard to get on your nerves. Littering or blasting music in the late night. Too bad, nasty neighbors are part and parcel of life. Don't fret. Deadly Neighbors 2 is a new addictive strategy game that will deal your neighbors in the most direct way; battling to the death. It has brought a few new concepts to the table that make this game even better than the original Deadly Neighbors.

You will firstly start off by forming and customize a team of three people aka family. Your goal is to kill all of your neighbors behind the yard, using swords, guns and various projectiles, along with special abilities that really spice up the game. Deadly Neighbors 2 took a strategic interface as it is a turn based tactical strategy flash game. Its lay down in grids and you maneuvering your family around the screen turn by turn. Defeat your opponents by reducing to zero hitpoints to win. Meanwhile, you also earn coins to unlock more classes, and upgrade points to toughen your own team up or allocate new abilities. The challenging part is that you will only have exactly 15 upgrade points; you won't be able to upgrade everyone in your family. You have to make a tough decision and choose wisely. Pro tip: Always explore and understand every single abilities and re pick your abilities when you think it's not right.

Deadly Neighbors 2 have made good use of the Kongregate API. After defeating 15 families, you will have to defeat a family designed by another player in order to upload your own family. Your family will eventually be the final boss in someone else's game. I know you won't want others to win so easily right? So, try to be as tricky as possible when it comes to designing. You need to be E.V.I.L!

Many of the enemies are well balanced, but hold very unique difficulty in it. If you got stuck, one of my favorite features of the game is to “re-roll” the enemy units but I seldom use the button. When I do, I thought I can take these guys... HOLY SHIT! IS THAT A NOKIA? All in all, Deadly Neighbors 2 is one of the best strategy games I’ve played in a while. If you’re looking for an awesome strategy game to spend a bit of time on then this is your flash game.

Recommended Build for Deadly Neighbors 2
There are around 220 possibilities to create a family. It can be indeed challenging to create your evil family that will turn out to be someone else's evil neighbor. Below are some of my favourite ways you can build to beat the game:

Deadly Neighbors 2 Screenshot
Deadly Neighbors 2 Character Chargers Shooters Bruisers

Build Chargers, Bruisers and Shooters
One of the well-balanced team; you got a range, a melee and a tank! Range and melee will do all the damage, while the big bruisers stand at the front line to absorb all the incoming damage. What's more can you ask? To me, this is like the most original and classic family you can build. You can't go wrong with this.

Build all 3 Shooters
They have decent attack speed and can cause stun. Pretty much unstoppable if you take down opponent's range (such as shooters) or main character. One of the best crowd control team you can ever build. Stun here, stun there. Most of the time, you get to attack more than opponent does.

Build all 3 Kids
Kids have excellent attack speed and one of the coolest skills. This is actually my very first build and I lasted most of the stages. With proper strategy and formation, you can deal an overwhelming damage to all kinds of classes. The damage are outrageous, most member including the bruisers will normally die in the 4 turns max.

Build all 2 dogs & cats
A team of passive & active healers that can do a reasonably amount of damage. No one will have thought of healers to be killers. I tend to have 600 remaining HP among my team at the end of each round. They are indeed man's best friends. Good puppy and kitty!

Build all 3 Tinkers
With full electrocution upgrades and ranged damage reduction. And what do I get? A family that's even more ridiculously powerful. The opponent can't even play because of stun! Tinkers are overpowered, don't underestimate their power. You will be quite surprised by the damage output.

Build Emo Goths, Dogs and Zombies
This family member combinations is surely gonna be your neighbors' nightmare. Dogs are more than just healers, they can be quite deadly too. Zombies is considered a tanky member with especially all the regen. And Emo Goths are just irritating.
