DiP 2

I know that this breaks my Hottest-only full review rule, but this was going to be a mini review. But when I was playing this, I realized, this is an extremely superb game! It fixes the flaws of the original game. Number one was repetitive and story-full. This one is extremely creative, but it also improves on the story. The atmosphere dark and spooky, as if it came right from a dream in Nightmare on Elm Street. Music, utilizing intimidating music with a lot of build up. There is, however, a lot of super buddy jumping, which no one is a fan of. However, the storyline itself is great. The mystery of the cyphered note keeps you going. It can get a little hard to follow at times, but the story isn't the important part. It's the core gameplay that counts. Weko45 did a good job with this. This is not Hottest, but definitely should be.

Pros and Cons
Pros
1. Story
2. Length (44 levels)
3. Music
4. Amount of repetition
5. Built onto the other one
Cons
1. Story a little hard to follow

Foxe's Dungeon

Foxe's Dungeon is a simple maze game. There are many sliders, locks and warp doors, like a good maze game should have. It has little special stuff though, all the music is in the library, and it breaks no coding records. How ever, there are some pretty cool things in it. When you unlock the door adjoining to the boss, (which is awesome) evil walking statues start coming from the wall. Metroid, anyone? Also, you control Sir Wolfe very differently. You use the arrow keys to move him and space to swing his sword. It feels like you're controlling a hover tank. There is a super cool power-up that you get before the boss. It allows you to throw ninja stars while standing still, necessary to completing the final boss. The final boss, is a bull demon, and after a few seconds, it will shoot four plasma balls. It uses a health bar, and you can't get close to it without dying, and that's why you get the power-up. This might be made into a series, for this wasn't so long. This game is definitely worth the time it takes to play.

Pros and Cons
Pros
1. Puzzling-ity
2. New Sir Wolfe
3. Boss
4. Music

Moon Child on Iphone

Moon Child on Iphone is an extremely simple platformer that yes, takes place in an Iphone. It features progressing levels with some simple jumping challenges and a few puzzles that don't tolerate impulse. Music is perfect, featuring turqmelon's Up in the Air. It's perfect for simple games that can be beaten in a snap. The atmosphere is nice and natural, but is too contained. About halfway through the game, you come upon a floating oasis, referencing Mathilde's game. It could be amazing and atmospheric, but no, it is made up of about three pieces. The Iphone concept is cool and all, but it contains the levels way too much. The levels can also be too simple, also. Mostly, it follows the "Same Level Over and Over With Different Enemies" formula. If I were in charge, this would not be Hottest.

Pros and Cons:
Pros
1. Simplicity
2. Length (27 levels)
Cons
1. Simplicity
2. Difficulty Level
3. Repetition

Minigame Mania 3

The great minigame series is back and better than ever! With 18 minigames, this trilogy-maker is by far the best! Stp09 makes the best minigames because they're hard. I make cruddy minigames because it's just, for example, driving a car over a taker bar. no bumps or anything. But with minigames like Maze, Run -n- Jump and Doomball Dragging, I hope your up for a challenge! I'm pretty sure that Stp09 introduced the DTM minigame. The DTM minigame is real simple. The DTM guy is standing there. He says "Don't touch me! I obviously can't defend myself!" Then of course, you touch him because he's fun to pester. I think Stp09 has the greatest minigames, therefore, this deserves Hottest.

Pros and Cons:
Pros
1. Length (22 levels)
2. Difficulty level
3. Minigame ideas
4. Gameplay
Cons
1. No cons

Bio-Soldier

Bio-Soldier is the best game I have ever created. It's about a robot soldier who goes on an epic journey to win a war. The first world is the Awakening Facility. There you awake and go through training to make sure you're functioning properly. This game could get in Hottest without it. This game cost a fortune. I had 1083 pips, I had 7. Then I got my income! :D the reason that it cost me so much is probably (1 I got lots of coding help and (2 Barely any of my music was in the Library. The people who have beaten it is scarce because of the bad health bar on the second boss. The deflectors had the spiky side up. This is extremely worthy of Hottest, no question about it.

Pros and Cons:
Pros
1. Fitting music
2. Length (49 levels)
3. Coding
4. Difficulty level
5. Gameplay
Cons
1. Boss layout

Power Cell

Power Cell is a classic "Drag the Mine" game. There are many different mines though. There are: Mines, plasma mines, toxic mines, angel mines and blunt mines. The angel mines can't destroy power cells! :O What it CAN do is block the sights of robot security systems. Robot security systems are Armored Allies, but because mines are type: enemy, they shoot at them anyway. The white water tiles in the picture is cool. DragonX uses it as "battery acid." He hides a taker bar under the surface of the battery acid and says "don't touch the surface of the battery acid." I liked that part. I don't usually favor Mine games, but I like this one. If I were a mod, I'd pick it.

Pros and Cons:
Pros
1. Fitting music
2. Length (13 levels)
3. Difficulty level
4. Layout
Cons
1. Lack of boss

Santa's Sleigh

In this Christmas game you deliver presents to all the nice people of the world. Some people don't like Santa. They shoot lasers at him. Those laser-shooters are called scrooges. They don't get presents. The player piece is phenomenal! It's Interceptor but it's perimeter is a parallelogram. and it can shoot presents instead of lasers! I think the player got it in hottest. In the end there is a satellite view of Earth and a red small treasure to represent Santa. Then there's a nice little animation of Santa going to the North Pole. The player piece is great and that's what got it in Hottest.

Pros and Cons:
Pros
1. Coding
2. Gameplay
3. Details
Cons
1. Length (13 levels)
