Welcome to my lair. This is the thoughts of a novice gamer about the various games she plays. Mainly Nitrome, but after I've worked my way through those, I'll be on to other stuff. Have fun, and I hope you learn something from reading this.

Flipside I


I've been trying to suss out this game for a while, but only recently have I got the hang of it. There are some levels you should hang back a while and wait for the other racers to go, and ones where you should barge through like the rest of them. The thing I really hate about this game, not a fault of the actual coding, but more just a pet hate, is the other racers' manners. Seriously. They have no sense of strategy, and don't care about you. This is technically a good thing, in that it makes the game unpredictable and exciting, but I like knowing what's going to happen. At the moment I'm only up to level 10, and I really have no clue what the hell's going on, half the time. What often happens is that me and the computer are racing neck and neck for the finish line, and the computer almost always wins. A tip for level 8, don't hold back. This one is more about muscle than anything else, and when you are going up the vertical slope featured above, press the up arrow key to jump off the wall, and don't jump too late! It took me a while to figure that out :)
