[Scale of the Universe 2]

Amazing

I was amazed by the first one, and the sequel makes it even better. Seriously, your flash products are a simple, powerful, and incredibly effective learning tool for everyone. Why is this?

- Scale is one of the most difficult things to explain to people!

Even Stephen Hawking has trouble grasping how astronomically large the universe is. Compared to large objects, we know less about small objects. This is because we can see large objects with light. Small objects are so small, that we can't even detect them!

- Fun facts for everyone

I really like this addition. It's something I can show to my nephews. I was clicking through everything just to learn more about it.

- Is really good for all ages!

This flash makes me feel like a kid. It has some really complex stuff, (quarks, string theory, etc), however it's really good for anyone.

Ever since I've seen the first one I've been able to blow peoples minds in regards to scale. "Do you know that if the earth were the size of a person, we would be about the size of cells?"

Neat stuff. I look forward to the next one. I have a bit of a bias, because I'm a bit of a science nerd, however this is seriously a really great flash.

[The Last Stand Union City]

great game

Last stand games are awesome, This is not an exception.

Pros:

- Great Atmosphere

- Liked the RPG elements

- Fun, not overly difficult

- Liked the food and sleep aspects of the game.

Cons

- Many abilities are worthless. Blunt is by far the best ability: Get a weapon with good knockback and you can take on a horde yourself. Just remember to hit, step back a bit, move forward, and hit again. To be honest, it made the game WAY too easy. I was using my sledge up until the end of the game. I decided to switch to guns to make it interesting. I really never saw a need for med. When you needed it, you either gained a level, or found a bed. Security really wasn't necessary: all the locks had mediocre stuff in them. Didn't even bother with knives. Pistols are a COMPLETE waste, and are ALWAYS inferior to the blunt weapons. Both times when my companion died, I was using a weapon and trying to switch to my melee to knock back the horde.

- Repetitive. Go into a room, smash zombos, rinse and repeat. Search random stuff. The missions really only were "go to X", or "find X".

- Predictable storyline. Won't ruin it for ya!

- Clothes had no point that I could see, however I was equipping good stuff. Maybe I shoulda went nakid and tested it?

I put in a lot of gripes, but for a newgrounds game, it's definitely a winner.
