This one isn’t a physics game, so much as a platformer that requires some thought and timing! Again, not enough time to do a real review, but I won’t let this blog die.

Another physics game! Huzzah? Read on and find out.

This is steerwheels… a game where you take a ball, and get it somewhere. Use physics and timing and what not to do so. I suppose that this is a physics game, but not one that is run of the mill. You have a car(Two circles and a line T.T) and that is enough of a change from the swamplands of other physics games.

I suppose that this game is a little bit of a show-off because it MAKES you watch the ball roll down a hill “Realistically” and has seesaws and whatnot, but I guess that that is what every physics game does…

8/10.
Nothing too pretty to look at, but some nice physics make for some cool moments

Get the ball to a place using physics. Okay…

No sound effects, and some annoying sound effects.

I’d like to say that this game is like achilles. I’d also like to say that this is better than achilles.

So I will. This is a beat em up in the same vein as achilles, but it does a few things much better. Archers are merely cannon fodder that might get a hit off you, and the whole kicking system is nowhere to be found. Good. But the premise of the game is that You, the brave knight, must travel from one beautifully constructed stretch of land, surviving, slaying dragons, and racking up that kill count.

The gameplay cannot be summed up as “hacking and slashing” so much as slaying and trampling. It is very smooth and playable. You may get sick of this game, but not from it being to easy or too hard. I lost interest because I had beaten my old score by a little, and then got rushed by about 3 dragons. You will enjoy this game.

10/10.
They are beautifully done, with enemies looking very unique and dragons that you think twice about slaying. It’s that astounding.

9/10.
Attacking is very fluid.

9/10.
Epic music, but I swear I’ve heard the sound effects from somewhere.

8/10.
A knight-themed beat em up.

Oh, and my high score is lasting 4 days, 214 kills. Beat that

Friday feature! Interview with SirKoolAid!

Let us begin!
Okay

So, where did your name originate from?
Um… Actually, I first created a username of Oceanix. Then, later, I met you, and thought you had a pwnsome name, so I created a different account, called MrKoolAid.
Then, SayaBlu asked if she could call me Sir, so I got Oceanix changed to SirKoolAid.

Really? I am blushing right now.
And when did you first join kongregate?
November 2, 2007

Cool, and I understand that you make some games.
Well, the one that’s uploaded to Kongregate isn’t so much of a game as a ‘game’, but I’m working on something that should be much better

Oooooh. Wanna take a second to hype it up?
It’s a pong type game, except everything is random. No physics involved. It’s got levels, and a bunch of random powerups

Sounds solid. I understand that you work with some of your kongregate friends to make games, whats that like?
We haven’t really done anything yet.

What about physcomonkey?
He’s the only one I’m working with. We haven’t had a chance to do much yet.

And is this project with anyone?
No. It’s by myself

Sounds good. And how long have you been moderating for?
Since August 11th.

and do you have any thoughts on what would make moderating easier?
Other than users that never broke the rules?
Yeah
Well, they jut implemented silences, which I think are a great thing. Not much that I can think of, otherwise, though.

In what rooms can we find you?
Mainly “Oh Yeah!”, given that it is my room, but the other rooms I spend a bit of time in are “Digg Mark 1″ and “Cafe Kong”

Oh yeah, huh? And how long have you had that for?
Around a week

Looks like I have run outta questions. Care to shout out to anyone?
Nah. I’ll feel guilty if I forget anyone

Well, thanks for the interview
No problem.

Ah, physic puzzle games. This one is about dominos. Align them in a certain order that they will touch the end tile. This is in the same vein as ragdoll cannon, and the graphics are the exact same.

The gameplay involves some guesswork, but a little forethought is what will get you to that end tile. The music is very atmospheric, and is rather pleasant. This is a puzzle game. That means that it will get pretty hard near the finish. But if frustration overwhelms you, I like make little pyramids with the dominos, and then throw a heavy thing at it. I recommend trying this one.

9/10.
Go play ragdoll cannon.

It’s all about aligning… and that is fun.

Strong bow

8/10

You, mr.theorcskilledmyfamilyandIthuslykillthemwithmybow, are destined to save the human race. You do this by standing on a castle wall and picking them off. It’s basically defend your castle and bowmaster crushed together. I cannot stress how dreadfully cliche the story is, but slamming on the space bar to skip the entire ordeal is always an open option.

The graphics probably weren’t meant to impress, and, sure enough, they don’t. The battleground is basically green, 4 trees, and a sky, and the occasional arrow. Although, I would be lying if I said that the death animations weren’t amusing. Once you get to the point where you can order troops, monotony is broken. The game gets perpetually easier once you buy all the little things that make the orcs die faster.

7/10.
Childish but won’t really impress anyone.

Exponentially more fun as you progress,

Only sound effects.

Friday feature! Interview with nerdrock101

Aloha to ya. Shall we begin?
Fire away.

First up in the line of questions, where is your name from?
Weeell, I really like pet rocks. I always imagined one with glasses, a nerd rock. And, the traditional class suffix 101 was added. Kinda long. >.>

And cute. Now let’s talk about this new room of yours(Lunatic pandora). What’s it’s name story?
Hahaha, not much of a story. The room was someone else’s at first, and I think their choice of name had something to do with Final Fantasy… I just stole their room. XD

And when did you get the room?
Yesterday. So, in a sense I’m still unpacking. Hardy har har.

And when did you join kongregate?
August 13th of last year.

Veteran alert. And a mod for how long?
A couple months I think. Knowing how excited I was, I should remember. XD

Did you want to have a room from the start?
Actually I didn’t know. I found a couple small rooms to hang out in and rotate through, and then finally stopped in Lust. I saw how much sense of community there was in a room.

And how lenient/strict of a moderator do you see yourself as?
I’m pretty lenient overall. But, I’m still finding my place; still a n00b mod.

In your opinion, what would make moderating easier (Maybe make it easier for n00b mods?)
The transition period was pretty tough, when you realize that you’re not calling mods. You do it yourself. Also, that first ban is hard. A little guilt came after. But, it’s nice to feel more active in the fight against evils. :3

I wouldn’t know about this, but doesn’t the letter you get saying that you are a mod now, metaphorically, throw you into the water and tell you to swim, to your own style and whatnot?
It would help if I could swim better. The email is more of a question, and you answer. Then, read the guidelines .(a pretty bare bones description) It’s really about experiences though.
Learn from mistakes, hear what other mods have to say, understand opinions.
And that is advice?
Sure, if it will help anyone else!

And what do you like to do outside of kongregate?
I love hanging out with my friends, playing music, going to school and exploring the great outdoors.

And do you have a rolemodel on kongregate?
Well, there’s a couple. I have to admire Koko, she was my first friend when I ended up in The Lair my first day. I still enjoy talking to her, a really kind person with a good heart.
and Mastry, my other pal I met while I spent some time in Lust. We came to know eachother very well. He’s got such a gentle soul and is quite fun-loving. He always makes me smile.

And would you like to use this one last spot to give anyone a shout out?
To all my buddies on Kong! And ones I’m soon to meet.

Thanks for the interview.
No problem!

Vector Runner

9/10

Barreling down a non-stop track with spikes popping up all over the place has never been so fun. Collecting the cubes for points is the sugar on top.

The game, in all it’s neon glory, is fast as… something that goes very fast. And there is no lag, even at breakneck speeds. The steering is great, allowing for second-friendly avoidances. But one of my favorite things here is the music. If a game can get the song stuck in my head, it automatically gets a ten for audio. And yes, there is a mute button, but this sweet, sweet techno should not be silenced.

As you progress (the game accelerates automatically), the game becomes more of an avoider than a collector/racer. That’s fine, but the second you go for a cube, you get spiked. I had massive amounts of fun thanks to the gameplay, and here’s to hoping that you will too.

9/10.

Roman Rumble

Roman Rumble

8/10

Let’s get ready to rumble!

Let’s play “Roman Rumble” Which is a platformer in which you have to avoid daggers and whatnot, and at the same time, collecting coins and vases. You play some purple thing. I bet he has some extensive back story… but whatever. The game is a little frustrating, with daggers poking you off cliffs, but the game is still playable. As you advance through the roman ages, the game gets more difficult and much more fun.
