"Really cool"

submission: Adrift - Episode One

date: June 20, 2006

That was awesome! It definitely had a very Lost feel to it. The graphics were great, you have a very unique style which is good. The animation is fluid and smooth.

The pacing of the story was good, sometimes it would go slowly and build up the tension, then wham, something cool happens. I hope you make part 2.

One suggestion - don't put yourself down in your comments! Some people might not bother watching and vote low.

Great work ;)

"Classic"

submission: Alien Abductions

date: June 1, 2006

It's always exciting finding a game like this under judgement. This'll get front page for sure. Very original concept (well it was a bit like that Destroy All Humans, but original for Newgrounds), very fun to play, awesome graphics - 10/10.

Score: 7

"Good while it lasted"

submission: Ghost Recon Style Short

date: May 11, 2006

I liked the graphics a lot, you had the character movement spot on. It was all pretty well done, just didn't last long enough. I was hoping for a long action sequence after he shot the guy. But as a first submission it shows potential, nice work.

Score: 10

"Speechless"

submission: the YuYu

date: May 6, 2006

This puts some of the most highly creditted Newgrounds animators to shame. The music was so perfect, and the synchronization with it was genious. I can't even begin to think how you do something like this, it'd take me months to animate a minutes worth of something half as good. Definitely the best graphics to ever hit Newgrounds, with just a bit more of a plot it'd be the best submission hands down.

Score: 10

"Awesome Monkey Island style gaming"

submission: Johnny Rocketfingers 2

date: May 3, 2006

The Big Whoop joke was great, as were all the MI references. Games like this help break up the neverending wait till Monkey Island 5.

Wont go repeating all the good stuff people have said about this, it's Flash at its best. Replay button didnt work properly as some people have said. Also, a cookie saving might have been good, pretty long game for one sitting. And music controls.

If you do a sequel you should do it a bit less linear. Here there was usually just one aim at any time, occasionally 2. I like the style in Monkey Island 2 where there were 4 map pieces to collect, each separate missions that coincide. Collecting the Ultimate Insult in 4 was similar. They did it a few times, it works well in games like this.

This is totally deserved of the high score. Nice work ;)

Score: 10

"Amazing remake"

submission: Pico's School remake

date: April 30, 2006

Wow I expected this to be a crappy spoof of ther original, but it was much much better. The way the walls changed to give it a 3D effect, I've not seen that before, very impressive. It took everything outdated in the original and brought it bang up to date. This could be one of the prize winners. 10/10

Score: 10

"*nice*"

submission: The Great Race to Vegas

date: April 23, 2006

Don't know why I'm even writing this, you're probably dead by now. But anyway, I liked this game, it was simple and the graphics weren't great but it was an interesting concept that was pretty fun to play. You could probably create some pretty decent games with the newfangled technology we have nowadays.

Score: 9

"Good game"

submission: B.L.A.C.K

date: April 22, 2006

I've been looking forwards to this since the alpha. There's something very stylish and fun about it. Runs very smoothly, has a nice range of weapons and I love the slow motion. In all, a very good game.

But I do have a few suggestions for if you were to make a sequel:

-A cookie saving system so when you reload the game it remembers your last checkpoint.
-A HP bar would help imo.
-Enemies shouldn't be able to see you when they are not facing you unless you fire. This would make the game more stealthy and original (for Flash, obviously stealth has been done to death on consoles).
-I like the style, but the graphics could be improved. You could make it like a real location (military base?) with scenery like boxes and tanks.
-Although you had a lot of weapons, there wasn't a huge amount of variation. Some grenades might be cool, or if you went with my stealth suggestion you could have a knife so you can sneak up on the enemy and slit his throat.

A great game for a start, but I see a lot of potential for a classic. Nice work.

Score: 5

"Nice idea"

submission: BugZapper

date: April 22, 2006

I like the idea here, it was quite fun to play. But the the graphics were very weak, you really need to put more time into them to gte a decent score. The gameplay could do with a bit more variation, and towards the end it became impossible to keep away from the zapper. But overall, not too bad.

Score: 7

"Fun"

submission: HecTix 3.5

date: April 19, 2006

Enjoyable enough, slightly addictive too. You could do with some better instructions (in the game) because it took me a while to figure out what was happening. Graphics are simple but do the job. Sound, not a Popcorn fan, could do with an off button. There are a lot of improvements that could be made like powerups. But as it is its a pretty fun game, nice work.
