Andrew the droid is a cool little adventure game where you play the little robot Andrew and must try to go and accomplish little tasks he sets forth for you to himself. Its a wacky and challenging game with humorous text and cutish game play. However, it is highly enjoyable and the puzzles are pretty challenging. To help, I’ve posted a walkthrough of levels 1-7 and level 15(to the remote). Click the “click me, I am a walkthrough” link to see.

Portal War is a fun fighting game where you choose to be a character from one of the major game portals and fight the other portal characters to the death. This concept is great and the game runs smoothly but unfortunately lacks in diversity and is just too easy. There are two main modes, arcade and versus. In arcade, you fight each enemy one on one until you beat everyone. In versus, you fight against 3 AI’s in a battle Royale. I found that the easiest way to win on versus was just to stand aside and let the other three beat the crap out of each other.

On arcade, just face the direction of your opponent and push ‘A’ and you can beat the game. It was fun for one run through, but not something you can play for very long.

Sometimes I wonder why people like a certain game so much, even though there is little to no point in it. Click Fest 3 is one of those games. At first glance its just mindless clicking of bubbles as fast as you can. But if you play for a while, its strangely addicting, especially with the high scores. Trying to beat other people’s time just makes you want to play over and over again. Another reason the game is so appealing is that the levels and background are designed very well.

While it may not win any prizes of graphical greatness, the background patterns, the way the bubbles are designed and the music all add to the immersion of the game. The choice of either 15 or 30 levels lets players choose between a very short and a slightly longer game.

This game ended up getting a whopping 3.8 on Newgrounds and more plays than 95% or more of the games that get submitted to Newgrounds. It may even hit frontpage with that high score. This proves that it does not take great graphical or programming skill to make a successful game. You just have to have an idea for a game that has simple objectives, make the game attractive to the eye, and make it easy to play. The games that do the best are games where people compete for a high score but the task can be done in a few minutes. The average flash game player only spends 3-5 minutes playing per session, so keep that in mind the next time you are making a game.
