"Decent"

submission: Luxuriance

date: February 29, 2008

Enjoyed it, storytelling was nice, artwork was nice.
The only thing that bothered me is that everything seemed to be lacking in weight/gravity (which is hard to do) and needs improving.
For example in the opening shots when the main character falls to the floor needs to be eased more. And also when he zips from side to side it needs more detail on movement/easing/weight.

Score: 4

"Wow"

submission: The Big Quiz

date: November 24, 2007

I don't believe the ending facts... 450-500 lines of code?!?
127 Items in the library?!
3 months and 1 day?!? Crazy.

I'd only believe the code if you were using AS3, which I hope your not for a quiz.

Nice little variation on the timed question, you should also have a save point (so you don't always go back to the begining), and as you mentioned before better graphics.

As a suggestion, if you do another one, stick to a theme of questions. Like a specific game or tv series.
And as a suggestion to make the art better, is to download some free fonts (nice and arty but readable) at somewhere like dafont.com. That way you don't have to spend all your time writing art with a mouse.

Not bad for your first flash through the portal.

Well done on the release.

"$4000"

submission: Stigg's Veggie-Matic

date: August 14, 2007

1463... And oww... feels like i've been having an intense fingerr wank.
I've gone to play this a few times to look at the WW submissions, but alas I gave up before it got good.

Very cool AI generation, after level 3 you had the difficulty level increase at a perfect rate for a standard gamer. It is very hard to get that part right and you did it perfectly.

Enjoy your $4000!

Oh, and Eggys's smells :P

"Simple but addictive"

submission: Twist

date: August 11, 2007

If I knew a code as simple as this would be that fun, I would of tried to code it ages ago xD
Congrats, really quite cool and unique.

"Argh!!!"

"Great game"

submission: Osiris II

I thought that game was pretty awesome :)

Hope most other people think so, the coding was superb and the .php is beyond me.

Keep up the good work,

"A lovely engine"

submission: Reach the Sky

date: February 16, 2006

Ok, let me go through my scoring.

Graphics - 6: Your grahpics were ok, but not fantastic, you did a good job compared to "stickman sam"'s graphics but it isn't up to par to the engine (which was fantastic).
Simple things needed to be improved, the main characters wasn't so great but the background lacked the most. Soften fill edges were needed on the clouds, the lines for certain things (like the sun, clouds but moreso on the trees) were the wrong colour to use (like you used black outline on the monkey, and brown on the tree leaves?)

Style - 9: Brilliant, your good at graphical art, such as the navigation menu's and height bar etc. They were all lovely touches.

Sound - 10: Lovely choice of music, fit perfect with the game, giving it more addictivness, plus it had a "Jumping Flash" feel to the game.

Violence - 0: But who cares right?

Interactivity - 10: Php server was good, makes it much more addictive, and the game engine itself was flawless and great.

Humor - 5: It's a monkey on a pogo stick... what more can i say, plus the "sky limit" made me chuckle.

Overall - 8: 4/5, that's a great score for a mini-game, kept me addicted :D

Suggestions: Prehaps hire (or look on the bbs) for a animator worthy of your next mini engine :D and make the monkey animatable, so it gives it more feeling in the jumps, at the moment he is static, with an animator he's give it class and a lovely jumpey feeling.

Hope this helps :D

"People want tutorials taught by professionals"

submission: -super n00b tutorial-

date: February 15, 2006

And this wasn't professional, not that the content wasn't good, but the presentation was awful.
Things like:
- Text not centred
- Buttons different everyframe (use the library (ctrl+L) and use the same button).
- Buttons were awful, open up the character map, and then select something in webdings as your arrow, then do (ctrl+B) to break it up and convert it to a button.

You did however use clips from flash (as in snapshots), do this more often, and prehaps animate a mouse to show where to click.

Enough from me, better luck next time

PRESENTATION!

"Nice :D"

submission: Oswald 3

date: February 14, 2006

A lovely flash, next time try a little harder on the tree's at the begining to make it seem more 3d, rahter than 2d based images.

Oh, and another tip, for your t-shirts link, use:
on(release){
getURL("yourwebsitehere", "_blank");
}
to open in a new window to browse, NG won't let you scroll in a submisison.

Wierd but funny.
