[Chess]

look it was amusing for about 10 seconds. However I was looking to play a game of chess. This should be in the movies category. 2 for effort though and slightly amusing.

[Easy Chess]

Pretty good engine. I play a lot of recreational chess but I also enjoy learning theory on it and I study it pretty seriously too. To give you an idea of my rating and the player pool i am in; on Lichess i have about a 1050 (give or take a little) classical rating and i can beat stockfish level 3 with a fair amount of thinking. Anyway I beat this engine pretty easily but it still required some thought each move. It was by no means an effortless win. I would rate this engine at a very good skill-level for the occasional chess player to be able to enjoy playing against and even win a few games. Good job on this one i will add it to my favorites. Although i do not like the Game record. it should record in the standard algebraic notation. None the less i still enjoyed it. 4.5 man. p.s. I really like how the pieces are drawn too lol they are cool.

[Thing-Thing Arena 3]

its bugged for me. just stays on the beginning loading screen. im still giving it 5 because its a classic and i love it but someone pls help with this bug.

[Shifting Dreamscape]

interesting

[Landor Quest 2]

Thanks!

[Jobin The Penguin]

it is simplistic but it is fun. collecting coins is always a simple game objective that makes the game enjoyable. looks like some good work was put into this. well done givin this one a 5

scpgames responds:

Thanks for the review! Unlike Mario, the Coins are actually money you can spend once you meet Dave The Yeti and buy items for your inventory. A touch of RPG in there! :)

[Smash Knights]

has the potential to be fun. i love the pixel art for the graphics. looks like you maybe designed it for mobile? i say this because i had no mouse cursor in the game and i notice the button that said to try it on a tablet. needs some work. the screen was like a mirror across the middle so everything on the bottom of the screen was also displayed upside down on the top of the screen. also with the two player mode the other player would attack back but would not move. like i said has potential to be fun if you fixed those bugs i would play it.

[Daemon Name Generator]

im really sorry i usually try to be optimistic with reviews but this is as optimistic as i can get with this one. the name generator was not impressive. i know that demon names are of old hebrew origin and to an english reader appears to have odd and extra character placement, but your generator literally just generates random characters. even the hebrew words have syntax even if they are hard to pronounce. im giving half a star for the effort that you put into coding the random generator, but other than that this was not impressive. not trying to be mean just constructive. there are lots of cool things you can do with random generators if they are numbers. like dice rolls or russian roulette. try that out maybe?
