Great animation. Must of taken you ages...
Wanna be taught flash! After watching that?!? I don't think you really need it!
Buttons, eg. Replay buttons can be learnt best by going to the forums on this site, searching for "AS: Main" then going to the last page, and click the buttons tutorial. Also, on that part o the site, there are hundreds of the best actionscript tutorials.
And or a preloader, there is the official that can be found (with instructions) at www . newgrounds . com / flash / index.html
and better preloaders at planetbob . net / ng/ pl /
Hope this helps.
And i enjoyed the flash.

You don't know what your talking about i'm afraid, most of the information is pointless and you just copied and pasted someone else's codes.
First, the driving car is upside down, the pivot isn't centered and you didn't explain the BASICS of the code, only the boundries.
That was bad.
How are people like you going to learn actionscript like this?!?
Tip, go NOW to the forums to AS: Main, and actually start LEARNING the code!
Secondly, the choice is colours is too dark, i can't read anything!?! And the menu is pretty damn shoddy, and when you click the item to enter, it is pretty poor. Becuase the item just disapears. The reason you havnt got that sound code sorted is because you dont know any! Goto AS: Main: it is really easy to fix :(
And the whole NG section is now up on the Help, it even gives you the CORRECT levels of B/P status.
Try harder, and PLEASE goto AS: Main
I enjoyed the music by ljcoffee, just have this music, otherwise the filesize is too big.

But it's comic, your really good at your drawings, it's really impressive.
Have you tried animation, if you did animate this it would be an awesome series!
After viewing i've come up with a few suggestions for this comic.
First off, move the comic strip part nearer the next page, because frankly us idiots here at newgrounds (and all around the world), are exceptionaly lazy!
Seconly, if you click the mini characters to read more about them and then you go back, you lose the page you were on!
You can fix this by having a variable called pagenumber that is changed whatever page you are on, and then when you go on the information page, and then click back, you can tell flash to recall the number and then go to the corresponding page.
It may sound quite complex, but it is pretty easy when you get the hang of it. And you must already know a bit of actionscript from page turning.
If you want help with this, either search AS: Main for Actionscript turorials here on the forums, or email me via my profile.
Sorry, bit off topic, but it is a great comic!
Keep them coming!

Thanks, glad you liked it! I'm working on an animation right now! I implemented your first proposal in the Flash following this one (OBS: Three Panel Comics 2), so I hope it's to your liking! Haven't tackled the second part yet, but it's a good idea that I'll look into.

Right, this needs improving. The game mechanics are OK, the fun in it isn't that great. And the filesize for such a small game is pointless. Fix the file size, fix the screen size.
And change manual to instructions (i first thought it was a manual creator option eg. set speed etc.)
I let this pass but i know you can do better, try not to import jpgs but draw them straight in flash instead.
Keep trying.

Nice to tribute to denvish day, i don't think all these reviews understand that the controls change and it gets harder!
Is that Devish's scream? LOL :D
Definatly a funny and inventive flash, nice one tom.

Nice Denvish Day submission, The game was really addictive and i really liked it.
The sound was like an old arcade, but with quality background music and it gave it a nice touch.
However, even on Denvish Day, try to team up with an artist :( The graphics really let it down...
Great game though!
Author's Response:
I don't really want the graphics to be too complex - this seems to run slowly for my PC as it is. But I left a lot of stuff to the last minute in any case - I'd probably have done a lot better without the deadline (either that or not finished at all)

But it's not great.
I know you were going for the retro style, but even retro has colour! I would like to see more colour in the next version.
Contorls were great, as soon as i pressed start i knew what to press. None of that asdw crap!
And finally please make the blocks fall down smoother, it will look a lot better, it get's rid of the retro feel but flash is better than retro, so try ro make this version better than the original.

It's not as good as your first one. The dialogue in this is pretty funny, but the animation could have been better, all i saw were heads talking, and poorly animated sven (that was hilarious btw).
Can't wait for your next instalment,
I think this series deserves a page on NG!
Ciao

Author's Response:
Yeah, I want to work in more animation in the future. But really, I'm not a great animator. I care more about the dialogue.
Thank you.

I loved the way the pet cat outranked Geaorge Bush.
OK, actionscripting was nice, no flaws in the game.
I liked the way you made it spin, making it harder and more interesting than other memory games.
It was a nice little game, but it won't be a fantastic score as it is quite boring... :(
Nice AS
