Haha, it actually is an emoticon. Your'e the first one to get that right.
I have uploaded it so many times, and each time it gets about 5 downloads. So I'm kinda sick of that darned game, hence the Dx. But now Im finally getting around to making a sequal! Woop!
This probably had the most promise, having original gameplay, nice graphics(probably my favourite graphical style so far, but there were some... anachronisms? Not sure how to put it) but the fact that you couldn't save your actual position was too frustrating, so I gave up on it. It's also very hard to know where to go - this kind of "free roaming" is only good if it's genuinely free roaming, and you don't have to go over and back for power ups. It's the one thing that annoys me about Metroid games, though they're generally a bit clearer on where you're meant to go.
A Game About a Kitty:
I thought this was kind of adorable, but I got stuck on the first level. Not sure it's my cup of tea, to be honest.
Grinning Darns:
Very repetitive. If it had mid level saves, it might help. It's kind of what I "wasn't" looking for - repetitive gameplay with a gimmick thrown in that doesn't really help. It has a kind of consistancy to it that's very respectful, though.
Chalk:
I'd played this one before. I basically can't figure out how to beat the second boss. It's probably the most inspired of all the ones I played.
Bernard and Hank:
This game is one big WTF. Does this guy(yeah I know he posted in this thread, but still) know what a "Liberal" is? I read his website and he did post a letter someone sent him on it, but it doesn't change the game's premise being entirely whack and not in a good way. I can "sort of" see where it's coming from in it being an anti-intellectual sort of thing, and that doesn't please me too much. I'm guessing the whole game was made to take the piss out of some guy on a forum who's called "NationalLiberal" who has the bizarre set of qualities of the "Liberals" in this game.
I played it anyway, and found it a little basic and repetitive. Mostly just typical jumping and shooting. Sorry.
Sorry everyone if I've been harsh on your games... I can't really make games myself :/ I'm going to try though. I have an idea for a game that won't be too repetitive at all. I just need to figure out how to make objects bounce properly when you hurl them.

Err, no. Unless you're confusing NeoLiberalism with Liberalism.
A lot of Conservatives would complain about "Big Business" and Conservatism getting automatically lumped together as being unfair, but in reality it's an emergent property of it's prolonged defense of right wing economics.
I've never known any or many liberals to be fat glasses wearing businessmen that steal deeds from farms, or any real life non-video game equivalent of that. Liberal is generally used to describe a socially progressive viewpoint. Which probably would be very much at odds with a couple of gun totin' hicks, but for very different reasons presented in your game. Some people have obsession that things "really" mean something different to when most people use them.
But the people it describes remain the same.

You really sound like that woman who sent me that letter, are you sure you're not her?
I know what liberalism means in america, but that is not the original political meaning of the term and not how it's "generally used" in other parts of the world. I don't have an obsession, but I am a history teacher and am supposed to know these things.

I like the part where he thinks that you're taking the piss of a guy called "NationalLiberal", especially considering that's just your fake account.
"That's actually a really over-rated, boring game IMO.
Here's what Id play:
Eternal Daughter
A game with a kitty (Still my favourite to this day I think)
Noitu Love"
Congratulations on mentioning three MORE overrated games. Overrated != you dislike it
