[AmazingSonicSceneCreator2]

K

^^Good Points^^
Definitely a very good scene creator you have made. The quality buttons are very useful, as this game has a ton going on and will probably slow down some people's computers. There were a ton of different animated sprites in this, which were really great. Tons of other sprites in here, and a huge selection of backgrounds, make for a very replayable scene creator. The intro movie was a nice touch to this too.

^^Needs Improving^^
You could have made some of the buttons a little more prominent, like the menu button. It is a little hard to find against some backgrounds. Also, I would have liked to see some different musical choices in the game.

ChaosCriticisor responds:

Tahnks for the contructive review. Buttons are no problem touching up. As far as my music, I tried using sonic authentic music for this project. But if anyone has a problem, turn off your speakers. Thanks^^

[WordScrambles-countries.5]

^^Good Points^^
Definitely a challenging game for someone to play. It would take a lot of knowledge to actually get a positive score, which I was far from having. I liked the sound effects and music you added to this game as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
It would be nice if you skipped something to be able to see what the actual word was. Also, It was a little odd how you had to select the text to delete it. It would be much nicer if you had made it so the box was automatically cleared somehow. Also, when the game is over, if you have a negative score, it will display -1, and no less.

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

Not sure what you mean about selecting the text to be deleted. I'm guessing you mean after skipping. Easily solved and I'll do so for the next iteration.

I'll also show actual words in the next iteration for sure.

I'll keep the negative scores. If you do badly, you deserve to know how badly.

I've got ideas for a hint system and hope you like the forthcoming version more with that added.

[NSG012: Flag Finder]

K

^^Good Points^^
A pretty solid memory type game here. There were a ton of flags, and they were all really small, which made the game pretty challenging to me. The game was easy to play and pretty fun as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
This does need some sound. At least some music would be nice, or perhaps some sound effects for choosing the flag. Also, it would be a lot harder if you had gone back and asked some flags a few times rather than just once.

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

You mean not added anything and asked people to remember which flag was Gambia's - for example?

I'm not sure I like that idea - I kinda like the way that just now there's 2 methods for knowing what to click - your short-term-memory and your knowledge of flags.

Still, I suppose it could make for an interesting alternate game mode...

I really never felt that games like this needed sound, but it's now clear that that's what the masses want.

Thanks for all the input!

[Spot the Difference 3]

K

^^Good Points^^
As far as trying to test our your engine for the game, it seems to be very successful to me. The game worked very well, and I felt that when I clicked on stuff, I didn't get any bullshit errors, even on the moving stages. The moving stages were a great addition as they are very hard. I couldn't beat the first moving one that I got to, which was funny, so I gave you humor points as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
Some music would be nice to add to this. I was also thinking that in harder levels perhaps you could add something really distracting, like a blinking screen or something.

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

Glad you liked it.

The level you couldn't beat... was actually the last level. Well, it was only a test.
(Though the engine was accidentally deleted from my hard drive...)

Great idea about having visual distractions!

Stay funky!

[Music Zap]

K

^^Good Points^^
Another edition of this game, and another good one. The song was very intense, got me pumped up for the game. Again, the lazers were very well synced to the music. This version of the game was much harder, which was good. I actually didn't beat this one. The added tips section was good too.

^^Needs Improving^^
The game was really hard. A little too hard if you ask me. I couldn't complete it because I got a bit too frustrated. Also, I don't like how you are required to submit your score, it's just a bit annoying.

Coolio-Niato responds:

In the new submission "Music Smash" there is a replay button and isnt AS hard. Check it out in the NG portal. :D

Peace

[A Batman Short]

K

^^Good Points^^
For a first game in Flash, definitely not too bad of a job. The sprites are pretty cool, and you animated all of the attacks, which was neat. The energy meter was a good idea, to prevent overuse of one attack. I also liked the sound effects. You played certain sounds when kicks were thrown and different ones for punches, which was neat.

^^Needs Improving^^
The game is just a little too shaky for me to really like. I find myself hitting attack buttons often, yet nothing really happens to the enemy. I'm not sure if I'm actually hitting them or not most of the time. You definitely needs some more movement from Batman when he gets hit, and better detection.

jcbbjjttt responds:

Thanks for playing and reviewing my game.

I agree with everything you've said. However, this was really just a test to see if I could actually make a game. I am planning to make a better one and any comments / ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

[EarthBound Distraction]

K

^^Good Points^^
I like the Earthbound theme in this. You had a bunch of different sprites throughout and different music and sound effects, all from the game itself. The animations were pretty good, and the game was definitely challenging for me.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really like when the Saturn men come out. I seem to die instantly, though I'm not sure if I'm not allowed to touch them. Really the big sprites just confused me a bit.

asceth responds:

The distractions do not effect you in any way except to distract you. The conducting menaces are the only things that you die from.

Some maps make it harder to see the menaces and butterflies which in turn can cause you to think you died randomly. But I assure you that the menaces are the only thing you die from. :)

[Ghost Chase Game]

K

^^Good Points^^
The best part was the music. It was a cool tune from the old Super Mario games. Not a bad concept either with the bombs, but just poorly executed.

^^Needs Improving^^
First off, I don't like how you only get one chance to get hit until you die, which was really annoying, as it is extremely easy to get hit, since you are a big character, and move no faster than the ghosts. You should be able to move faster than the ghosts. Also, try and add some differing backgrounds.

kl-harry responds:

Thanks milinko959, I will take all of your advice on board, especially the point about the one chance before you die thing and the moving faster issue. That will probably get done today or tomorrow, so watch out for it!

[Modern Marvels QG 2]

K

^^Good Points^^
The intro movie was good, though it was misleading, I thought this was going to be a lot more interesting.

^^Needs Improving^^
This quiz was just really lame. I thought it was going to be about Burger King, but then you start asking questions about Civil War weapons. The questions seemed to be all the same to me, with just different weapons plugged in. The graphics weren't very good at all, very bland.

bkdude responds:

Read the commentary before reviewing please. My name might be bkdude, but this is not going to be on "burger king". I took notes for about a month while I was grounded on the History Channel show "Modern Marvels" and I make 10 question quiz games about them.

I do understand if you just don't like the quiz though. A lot of people just dont like things. :-)

Before we start, what the hell does Wii Compatible mean?

^^Good Points^^
Right, well a very fun game, that I can see being pretty addictive. It has a simple concept and simple game play that becomes pretty fun and addictive. It keeps your high score, so you can always play to try and beat yourself.

^^Needs Improving^^
A game like this could really use a high score list for more play value. Also, you may want to consider some type of music to add to this.

BlueKes responds:

"Wii Compatible" means that you can play it on your Nintendo Wii console.

Thanks for the comments, i may release a version 2.
