Well...
I played them all. Mini-reviews:
==============
BadCaveGuy: Three words: Worst. Game. Ever. It runs super-fast; over before I can do anything. Horrible image clipping, to boot. (someone could get epilepsy from it)
==============
Witchcraft Adventure: [copypasted from freebasic.net] Too claustraphobic without a minimap (for me). Good graphics, and good effort on intro "movie".
==============
FaceInvaders: [copypasted from freebasic.net from yesterday night] Nice, got to level 203 before I let myself lose... I'm falling asleep.... not necessarily because of the game
==============
Chack:
after I figured out how to run it (from the post here -- didn't know you had to move it up a directory), I played it.
Also: right click shouldn't move the piece... I thought it would deselect.
It's an idea, but the controls of the paddle are way too sensitive for me. Usually I overshoot, and end up losing a bishop after trying to take a pawn. With the super-sensitive controls, it's just way too hard for me.
===============
Plix: buggy, buggy, buggy. A lot of unbalanced/useless items/buildings, too. What's the purpose of storage? Upgrading collection speed is nearly useless, and you can't really defend your base with your "avatar" if it is breached. ON BALANCE, good and unique gameplay and "compelling" visuals... if you don't crash!
==============
Adventure for Breakfast: FMOD.DLL COULD NOT BE FOUND!!! Good thing I have a copy here. Like a ZZT adventure with cartoon-ish graphics instead of enhanced ASCII.
"The guard is stubborn, but if you speak to him, he will get you an idea of how to get *PASSED*."... mistake! But besides that.... JUMPMAN! (without the jumping)
WOW! Fishing, ZZT, PacMan, JUMPMAN (without the jumping)!! OMG OMG OMG!
It only took me 14 minutes and 59 seconds!
==============
So...
It's a tie in my mind between Plix and Adventure for Breakfast. Beyond the slight grammar mistake and need for the fmod dll, Adventure for Breakfast is perfect. Short, sweet, and had several different gameplay types. (I liked fishing the most!) On the other hand, Plix is more unique and original, but quite buggy and a bit unbalanced/unpolished.
