"With Wewaii TG Nord made a great browser game that does not even look like one. The balancing is outstanding, the player is gradually acquainted with everything and for 'loners' who are not interested in clans and guilds 'Wewaii' is currently one of the few 'real' interesting games."
conception of game world, characters and rules of the game
"Wewaii is an extremely innovative and perfectly thought-through game that reminds you of a 'normal' client game in terms of game design and gameplay."
use of media, graphics, sounds
"Pirate Galaxy successfully employs a wide range of media to create a dense atmosphere that is hard to find in other browser based games. The introduction into the game is enriched with videos, showing both ingame graphics as well as 2D artwork, which introduce the player to the universe of Pirate Galaxy. The addition of an atmospheric music score that is never obtrusive and the use of the 3D engine to create visually attractive loading screens and menus round out the picture."
usability, controls, quality of the gaming experience
"A truly great and refreshing idea with a good implementation. To implement a Jump 'n' Run as a multiplayer browser game. It is a joy to play it and it is fun to jump through the levels with other players."
