[SN: Logo Tutorial (int)]

I guess it's useful

I guess this tut could be useful to someone who is making a logo. It was easy to follow, and as far as I can see everything was accurate. Graphically I liked the flash, nice job on that. The music was good also. This is a short tutorial that I doubt many will use, but I guess it serves a purpose.

hashbrown responds:

Thanks for all the compliments. but Logos arent just for websites. you need them for games, animations, and usually encounter some others. i hoped people could use this to make their own logos for whatever purpose. thanks again

[Gun Tutorial II]

Umm...yay?

Well, honestly for the first half of this flash I would have rather just watched one of the many shows on the history channel. This type of thing is really boring to use and put in flashes. The drawing part wasn't too terrible, but you need to put more detail. Six steps on drawing guns is not enough. This tutorial if you will call it that, is really overrated at the moment.

[4 Incomplete Games]

Not bad.

The best part about these games is that they were all pretty original. There aren't many games like these on NG. The platformer and the shooter were very original and I would have liked to see finished. The other two were alright, but nothing special. You should definitely finish atleast those two and resubmit them. The graphics weren't that great in any game, they were mostly hand drawn, but the game play makes up for it. This could definitely use some funky music in it. Overall, nice job on the games even though they aren't finished.

johnfn responds:

Don't you worry about the graphics, I've got a 3D animator guy helping me out :D

Yeah, I'll probably finish shooter, then mousegame because so many people loved it, then I might go on to platformer and ditch the whole boss idea and move on. Thanks for the review.

[Halo Quiz Game]

Useless.

This is pretty darn useless if you ask me. The graphics were just plain terrible. This quiz has a hard layout that isn't particularly fun to look at. The sound was really bad and the questions were just plain stupid. Half of them made no sense or had gramatical errors. The resulst screen just looked stupid also. You need to work on the layout a lot and just make better questions. Particularly ones that can actually be answered right or wrong. And by the way, the replay button does not work if you click on the arrow.

Al6200 responds:

Yeah, I like the advice and critique, even though its very unlikely I'll make another quiz game.

Yeah, it is useless. But its supposed to be entertaining, and no utilitarian. Hmmm, I can't see how the layout is "hard". It seemed pretty straightforward.

The questions are kind of "stupid", but its not supposed to be serious. And yeah, I guess the results screen didn't look that good. The aesthetics weren't the best.

Hmmm, as with the questions being answered right and wrong, that's a whole diffrent kind of product. What I have here is a quiz that focuses on abstract concepts rather than a right/wrong trivia quiz. So I could change it to be something you'd prefer, but someone else might find the right/wrong quiz too dull. See what I'm saying?

Yes, the replay button has flawed hitbox, but it works if you hit it on the arrow.

But thanks for the review nonetheless, and I appreciate all the criticism.

[Flip8 Redux: an emulator]

I'm not impressed.

Unfortunately for you, my friend, quantity does not mean quality. When I saw this described as an emulator loaded with 70+ roms, I was excited to play it and find out what it was, but this was just disappointing. Most of the games are really slow paced and just boring. Most of the games aren't fun to play and have stupid concepts, and some of them weren't even playable. I applaud you for using mostly original games, but they were just stupid.

Newsdee responds:

You do realize that you are describing the system I am emulating, and not the emulator itself? The games I'm including are all that is currently known for it. I'll gladly add more if somebody makes them.

[Gravoor 4]

A good game.

While I think that games like this one have been on NG too much, I still opted to save it. I think it was a good game with solid game play. The graphics were pretty good, though I didn't really like the picture in the background. It was nice how you actually had a character in this game instead of just a dot like most games of this type. The music was good and the controls were easy. The level designs were pretty challenging and there was a good number of them. Nice job.

Chris responds:

Gravoor 1 was the first of its kind (not the first mouse maze thing, first one with something following the mouse though). So i have the right to make games like this without people calling me unoriginal

[Reach the Sky]

Very fun game!

It is my belief that in most cases, the simpler the game is in flash, the better it is. Games like this only bolster that claim. This game is very simplistic, but it is still quite fun, addictive, and takes skill at the same time. This game is a very good idea, and has just enough mechanics to make the game fun, but not too much to make it take a long time to learn. The graphics were pretty darn good, very nice animation and backgrounds. The sound effects were very good and well placed. The controls were very good and easy to get a hang of. Overall, this game is very fun to play and very addictive.

io3creations responds:

Great! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Breath Of Fire SceneMaker]

Not good at all.

In order for a scene creator to be good, it must have multiple backgrounds, multiple sheets of sprites, and good music. This one had none of these. The background you had was a good choice, but it was very small and didn't allow for much creativity. There was only one sheet of sprites, which were of only a few characters and also didn't let you be very creative. The music...next time pick something that is relevant to the game instead of some random song that you find interesting.

KainX7 responds:

Dude, Shut the fuck up, seriously, did someone drop you on your fucken head/ass? Go eat a dick faggot

[The Newgrounds Quiz!]

Neat.

The quiz itself is kind of short, the questions are good though. Nice preloader and nice graphics. I like how you added lots of pictures and what not. Good music also. I also liked the end with the hentai or salvation thing, nice touch. Overall not a bad flash, but about average.

BlueToken responds:

thanks. I'll probably be making sequels ^_^

[spike ball (beta)]

Nice.

I found this game very fun to play. The monster and level designs were very well designed and drawn in flash. I liked the whole menu thing where you chose levels. One thing I found I didn't like about this game was that sometimes the diamond was out of reach since it is randomly placed. There are lots of traps and surprises throughout, nice job.

reelbigcheese responds:

lol the diamond isnt randomly placed but ill make them easier to get if you want, thanks for the review
