GAME ANALYSIS DAY

Game Chart Link

1. Each game stood out to me in some way. They all included different elements and interesting gameplay, mainly Super Smash Flash 2, Pause Ahead, and This is the Only Level. They all had some kind of unique gameplay element whether it's the controls or objective.

2. Super Smash Flash 2 was probably the "good" game because of how it manages to succeed at pretty much every element from the graphics, to the objectives, to the enemies, it has almost no flaws.

3. Nitrome Must Die was probably the "bad" game because the enemies weren't fun to destroy, the rewards did not make me want to try harder, the concept was bland and basic, and the only thing I liked was probably the graphics which is saying a lot. There's nothing wrong with the game itself, the genre and mechanics are okay, I just found it hard to enjoy and it was just not fun in general.

4.   Super Smash Flash 2 is mainly trying to launch your opponent off the stage and off screen. There is no real plot but the fighting mechanics itself are fun to play and get better at. You're supposed to use combos and attacks that will raise the percentage of the opponent and once it is high enough, they will be easier to launch off stage. The positives are definitely the enemies that are all separate characters, the concept that is based on the actual Super Smash Bros. series, the graphics, and the navigation. Although it is a more pixelated version of SSB, it IS a browser game and it actually does really well. There are a lot of characters not normally in SSB and the controls that may seem strange at first can be changed to fit the player better just like in the regular SSB games. The only negatives to this game would probably be that the rewards are really just you being able to finish the campaign and get good. Eventually you would probably get tired of playing. Anyway, I still rate this a 9/10 (for a browser game) because there's just so many good things about SSF2 that shouldn't be ignored.
