JPI's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[King of Cursors: X-MAS]

Very hard

I was on level 7 and i had 57 deaths! How is someone gonna win that $40!
Anyways, simplistic but great... i loved it.
If this is for the contest, you might have won...
Just make sure you check out my christmas game too.

I gave it a 4/5

GAMECUBICLE responds:

if you play it a lot of times it should be possible. And its supposed to be hard rigth :P

[Zelda - Seeds of Darkness]

Ingenious

It doesn't seem to lag too much for me, although i can't seem to get to the final boss.
It's a great remake of Zelda and brings me back memories, this is a GREAT flash. I'll have a look at the source code in my spare time, but i kinda found out your french throught it!
Anyways, this is fantasic, and it is much better than our other Zelda game on here (Zelda and the lampshade of no significance).
It didn't bother me that it was using sprites because they were of good quality and without it this version would of taken you twice as long to build.
I especialy liked the orignial screen setting and controls, so it was all fimiliar, so i could just pick up and play like the original.
Unfortunaty i cannot defeat the boss :( Because i cannot find him...
You should have a website with a guide and the projector (exe) file of the game. So we can play with (hopefully) less lag, and all the time :)
Im sure now the source code is out, people will finish your story and the game.

Congratulations!

[Complete Tutorial V1]

Not great

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.

icorrectyourgrammar responds:

Actually i didn't copy anything except for the car code. sorry. so if you want to be a fag then thats fine. infact, i'm taking the whole project off. both of them.

[OBS Child's Play (comics)]

An a great comic it is

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!

WaldFlieger responds:

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.

[Molez 1.5]

OK

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.

DekapitatoR responds:

I think i cant draw the backgrounds in flash :P But i can try to fix the filesize. Thank you for your review.

[Denvish Stage Dive]

DENVISH DAY

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.

[Denvish: Redemption]

I really liked it

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!

Paranoia responds:

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)

[Flash Tetris]

A good remake

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.

[MindScorn]

Nice little game

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

[NG tutorial 1.05]

Those two thing really helped this flash.

I gave it a 3/5.
