[Leap Jet Bear]

Very fun game. It can be hard, but it's never unbearable! (has someone already made that pun?) Definitely worth completing entirely, though I do wish some medals were worth more than others. Maybe have "Achievement Hunter" worth 100pts, while "Shiny Treasure" and "Congratulations?" are worth 25pts.

I'm curious about the name. Is it saying that the bear has a leap jet? Is that a type of jet? Or is it telling the jet bear to leap? i.e. Leap, jet bear!

The music is very good, though to others I concur; it gets rather repetitive after a while. Maybe it doesn't need one track per level, but at least more than one for the entire game. The background also becomes uninteresting over time; perhaps the game could be split into sections with one background and one track per section. Maybe the music could even be based around the backgrounds. The art is also very nice. The medal designs are cute. I think there should have been more than one color for the bears navel for the bonus characters. The pink bear could definitely have had pink and purple as it's colors. I'm not as sure about the other ones. Maybe green and blue for the green bear, and white and grey for the black bear.

Oh, before I finish, here's one tip for level 17. If you get in the right spot, you can pass right in between the saw blades! Just wait for the saws to come down and then jump and fly through them. This'll give you more time to get to the top. It won't help with bonus modes, though it may make it easier to complete without checkpoints.

MadNukin responds:

Hey I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
The name is suppose to tell what the game does, you leap and you jet around with a bear!
Thanks for the wonderful review :D

Well, I got to 2:49 eventually. Not sure if I can shave off another five seconds, though. I feel like I must be doing one of the levels with an imperfect strategy.

Turns out I was doing levels eleven and sixteen wrong. I got back four seconds from sixteen and one from eleven.

For those trying to get the medal, here are the times I earned on each level:

1: 2s;

hold right

2: 3s;

hold right

3: 3s;

falter slightly before moving right

4: 4s;

remember to grab the yellow shroom go right once you can

5: 6s;

6: 5s;

ignore shrooms

7: 9s;

8: 7s;

don't wait for the spider after getting the fireshroom

9: 10s;

10: 12;

11: 4s;

right, up, r, u, r, down, r, u, left, d, l, u, l, d

12: 5s;

r, d, r, u, r, d. get ice shroom, make one ice block to the left, get blue shroom

13: 8s;

reminder, ice balls go thru spikes

14: 9s;

15: 6s;

r, u, r, d, r, d, r.

16: 4s;

l, r, d, r, u, r, u, l, r.

r, d, r, d, l, u, l, r

not sure which is faster

17: 11s;

18: 18s;

19: 1s;

hold left until right

20: 22s

I keep thinking that there must be a faster way that skips a walk cycle, but I haven't found one.

Aha! go to the left through the portal, then to the right to get the key, then back through the portal, then to the right. you can skip one walk cycle. thank you HerbieG! this was a good challenge

In game total: 2:38(164s)

My sum: 2:29(149s) I guess it rounds down

Nice game. I wish I was better at snake games. There are so many medals locked under games like this, yet the best I can get is 408/875. Oh well.

[JugglePong]

Surprisingly very fun, especially when there are a bunch of balls all bouncing at once. I enjoyed it a lot.

[Just Rotate]

Huh. The leaderboard medal has inexplicably started working again. I definitely remember it being broken when I played it.

[Jump in the Dark]

Fairly good for this type of game. For those trying to get the medals: they all can be achieved in the process of getting the last one. Just focus on getting up and staying alive.

[Sudoku]

If anyone's curious about the average time of 1 minute, I can assure you that I did this without hacking or cheating or whatever. The borders between the boxes are really unclear, so I had to take a screenshot of each level and draw on them using the snipping tool. When you've clicked off of the game, the timer pauses, so the only time I spent in game was entering in the numbers. I have no idea how long I actually spent on average for each level.

[Invaders]

I remember this game. Seems the only medal I missed was "The Tactician." I'll try to get that one now.

Well, I couldn't think of any strategy for getting the tactician medal. All I did was upgrade the fire rate each time and never stop firing. I got the medal with maybe 5% of my health left, so it was pretty close.

[Hyper Wall]

Pretty good, I guess? I mean, it's a bit annoying that after about 90 seconds situations that are nearly if not completely impossible start to occasionally occur. Fortunately, those are infrequent enough that getting all medals is not really too hard.
