"Too brief"

submission: Tutorials 4 Flash (adv.)

date: October 13, 2005

A really nice looking tutorial, great menus and all nice and clear.

Fairly original ideas but there just wasn't enough good info in here. The fade and 3d box tuts were very simple. You need to flesh it out a bit.

Score: 8

"Looked great, but needed something more"

submission: FIREBALL_5

date: September 21, 2005

I was put off this game a bit straight away because I couldn't find instructions. If they were there, they need to be more clear.

So after that I didn't really get the main game. I hoped that it'd be like Burnout in that you were supposed to hit the enemies, but that killed me. So I tried again and by dodging them I won far too easily.

The graphics are great. The controls are great. But I think this needs more work, you should make a full game of it with weapons and money and upgrades. Pretty decent as it is though.

Score: 10

"Amazing"

submission: Rainbowsphere: N.E

date: September 16, 2005

I saw this on NG yesterday and didn't think twice about not playing it. I dom't like these kind og games, I find them boring. But as it got a daily place, I though I'd give it a go.

At first it was just what I expected- simple graphics, standard sound (annoyingly without an off button), simple concept. But as it went on it became impressive. The level design is fantastic, and the level of precision is unbelievable.

I kept wanting to stop playing but there'd be something to stop me- for example when I finished l13 I hovered over the Close button then saw the lava and had to have a try. The level variation was very good.

Then comes the boss. Loved it, took me a LOT of attempts but I got it. Then there was the escape level which was also excellent but sadly I just couldn't do it, maybe this should have been split up into smaller parts.

In terms of improvements, there are quite a few. A save system would be nice, I'd like to have been able to try Escape again another day. Sound off button. The graphics don't need to be great here but there is room for improvement. On the next game maybe you could bring colour mixing into the gamplay (like becoming orange means you can survive yellow and red blocks). You could also become white/black/brown etc.

Very good, 5/5

Score: 10

"Excellent"

submission: Jak 3: Gold Edition

date: September 7, 2005

One of the 10 ten games I've played on NG, I'd set it at 4.10 if I could, but at least you got the Daily Second.

Other than a few bugs which have already been mentioned, the game was just about perfect all round. Must have taken AGES to make. Really well done.

Score: 10

"Best so far"

submission: Buffy: TVS -conclusion-

date: August 31, 2005

I really liked this, it was my favourite so far. The story was more tightly woven and it was more gripping to watch.

A couple of suggestions:

-The fight scene was weak, SFX would help a lot and just a bit of blood too.
-I didn't like the ending, made it impossible to fit with the show. You should make your next one like a lost episode, sort of like Choas Bleeds.

But other than that it was excellent, I'm loving your work. Any chance you could put your email in your profile?

Score: 9

"Excellent! But not so much."

submission: Buffy: A Random Story

date: August 29, 2005

Hey, me again, had to check out your other stuff.

This is still a great movie for the same reasons as before. But the new one is a big improvement.

The randomness just annoyed me. Why did Dark Willow have red hair and a pink shirt? And Spike wasn't around for the Dark Willow saga...

There's always the chamce that this was another period of evil willow, maybe she's been put under control in season 7? If so a little explanation would be nice.....

But that aside, it was still fun to watch and brought back fond Buffy memories. Can't wait for more.

Oh and I forgot in my last review... SERENITY SERENITY SERENITY, I've seen a prescreeening, its AMAZING.

Score: 10

"Excellent!"

submission: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

date: August 29, 2005

That was so great! I don't know where to start...

The graphics were really nice, I liked the way you did the characters, people would have complained a lot more if you'd tried to do 'proper' character representations.

This was late season 2, no? A great choice for a movie. Person below me = idiot, Angel and Spike were both on it loads. Buffy season 2,3,4,7 and Angel season 1,5, not even including flashbacks.

Again with the " Person below me = idiot" because there was a loads of really well chosen sound. And I think the misspelling was purposful (accents?) but maybe you should didtch it next time.

This was JUST like an episode of Buffy, I think that was your aim and you did a great job. Make more!! (hint...post-Not Fade Away would be a great area...)

Score: 5

"its a dress-up..."

submission: Snape Dress Up

date: August 29, 2005

As far as dress-ups go, it was pretty good. Clean graphics, lots of clothing etc etc

But I don't think I'm alone in finding dress-ups verrrrry pointless. I can't see why anyone would spend more than a minute on this.

So this shows a lot of talent and I gave it 3/5, but try and make something more worthwhile next time.

Score: 7

"Great idea"

submission: Bob's Commercial Break

date: August 29, 2005

I really like the idea, these kind of games can do really well.

But as it stands, this game didn't offer much. I think you should make it into a series of mini-games, aiming fun when you go to the bathroom etc.

Also there could be puzzles, like for ordering the pizza you need to find the pizza delivery card (hidden under a rug?) and a poking stick because your fingers are too fat to dial.

Also you should be able to replay from levels when you lose. And the objectives could be at the bottom so you can see when you've completed them.

Make more please! I'll be looking forwards to it.

Score: 9

"Really good"

submission: Monkey Madness!

date: August 21, 2005

This is very similar to the game I just made (and the sequel I'm working on). And to be honest I see no reason why it's scored lower.

I love the graphics, they're clean and colourful. The SFX were excellent and added some humour value, although a bit of backgroud music would have been nice.

The main problem for me was that the monkey moved a little too slow, and I levelled up quite a bit but he didn't seem to get significantly faster. Also you could add a bit of perspective to the background and add some more fruit like bananas (just for variation).

It's a really well made game though, well done.
