[Monster Frontier]

Pretty good game but there's a EXP bug.

I had earned something like 3.5k for beating the goblin boss and rather than waiting for the exp to countdown, I just clicked the screen to quickly allocate the exp, but that's when I noticed my characters all had exp over their limit. It did correct itself when gaining exp elsewhere but I lost thousands of exp because the difference didn't carry over into the next level.

[Cursed Treasure 2]

Great game. Most of the problems have already been addressed but one issue that I have isn't really a glitch but more of a feature.This feature would be an account that allows players to access their saved file(s) from other platforms; mobile, laptops, desktops, ect... Therefore allowing players to resume play, as opposed to starting all over.

[Zombotron 2: Time Machine]

This game is good but there are some serious nuisances.

To start: jumping is awful; it only seems to register half the time I press the 'w' key.

Second: when I pause the game and then resume, my screen fades a little darker and have this really annoying white play button sitting dead center on the screen that does absolutely nothing. I can still play the game but it's pretty annoying to play as I have this giant play button obstructing my vision and the only way to fix this is to refresh the page. To further elaborate specifically: I press 'Esc' and then I click resume, as apposed to pressing 'Esc' again. I'm not certain if this is the culprit behind this bug but it's certainly a start.

Bottom line: This is a great game and I would've rated it higher if it wasn't for these problems.

[Takeover]

The games is pretty good but the control scheme is not as good as it could be. Having the system auto correct coordinates should be adjusted. Too many times I have ordered troops to go somewhere and then by accident they are redirected because of the automatic system in place. I understand this system is to guide players and allow them to know where their troops are going but there must be a better way. Perhaps changing the click and drag to click and click would be a more convenient alternative to navigating your troops.

Another thing that deters me is that troops cannot retreat. As soon as they engage that's it, they are off to the races to kill or be killed, it's pretty absurd. So how about letting your troops retreat, pretty please?

Another thing that bothers me is when you select multiple troops and tell them to do something, you have to select them all again. It's too inconvenient having to select them all again and again, perhaps this can be changed and deselecting could be as simple as pressing the D key. Which reminds me, how come there aren't any hot keys? Just a thought that maybe should be considered.

Bottom line: good game but has some irritating mechanics.
