[Twilight Princess Quiz.]

A good quiz.

^^Good Points^^
Well, I don't play TP at all, so I was pretty much in the dark as far as the answers go. However, it was still an enjoyable game. I agree with you, restarting a quiz is really annoying, so I like the progressive scoring system. Labeling the questions' difficulties was also a cool feature. Overall, some cool concepts in this one. I think if I ever make another quiz game, I'll integrate some of your ideas.

^^Needs Improving^^
Nothing really specific in this. I think you could have had some kind of reward for certain scores or something, just to make the end more interesting.

Auz responds:

Hmm a reward is nice, I agree. But I can´t think of a good, satisfieing reward to be honest. And I´m deffinatly not gonna turn this into a Zelda hentai quiz or something :-/

Oh well. Anways, thanks for the review milinko :)

[Guitar King]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
It was presented pretty well. After reviewing most of your stuff in the past, this is definitely one of your better works, graphically speaking.

^^Needs Improving^^
The game was just really awkward to me. Having the guitar vertically and the keys horizontally really made it hard to get a hang of. I think the guitar should have been upright and the strings should have matched up with the keys.

wolfinator-x responds:

I used up alot of text filters so I got an "aluring" interface.

Also, I created the game to be "awkward" with the guitar neck different than the keys. I intend to do a Wii version, so it won't be as tough.

[Uniwar Level 1 SE]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
This was really good for its old age. The game play was pretty smooth. Detection was fair, and the mini-bosses and bosses really set this apart from some other games. It's neat how it switched perspectives as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
I'm sure you've already gotten this, but you should work on the walking animations of the people. Also, try not to use pixilated pictures. Make your own art instead. It will look a lot nicer.

[Hurry Bird 2]

K

^^Good Points^^
A very nice looking game. The instructions were very simple which I liked, and so was the game play. You had great drawings and level designs. Very challenging.

^^Needs Improving^^
One thing I really didn't like was that you couldn't make your bird dive faster. He only fell at the default rate that he does when you don't press up, which made the game really hard. Also, the levels seemed to just repeat themselves over and over, especially the early ones.

Snubby responds:

Yes, thanks for the great review. I toyed with the idea of having the bird fall faster, but then I decided not to do it because I like how all directions move the same speed. The levels do repeat themselves, though the should be longer (they aren't because of lag issues) I think it is better that way. If you've ever been to playflashwincash.com, where people are actually playing the game seriously, you'd see that level repeating is actually better than randomly generated levels because of luck issues. You could get lucky and get a highscore that you dont deserve

Anyway, thanks.

^^Good Points^^
It looked like a really promising game. You had a very cool menu setup that looked a lot like DDR or some game similar to that. A good selection of music, and a pleasing aesthetic look.

^^Needs Improving^^
Once I started playing I was really disappointed though. I'm pretty sure it wasn't just me, and this didn't seem to be synced to the music at all. The steps just seemed to be quite random to me and not following the beat of the music at all.

DrRobot responds:

Thanks!!

Yea, the interent really messed things up for it...

[Mouse run]

K

^^Good Points^^
I liked your anti-cheating method, it seems to work fairly well, as I couldn't figure out a way to cheat. Detection was fair, and the game ran smoothly.

^^Needs Improving^^
A little worn out. The maze games have been coming and coming, and this one doesn't really stand out as anything too interesting among the others. Same old level designs and basic hazards.

CrossdresserInPink responds:

I'm glad you couldn't cheat.
I tried ridding it of every cheat I could think up.

[Luis - Catch A Taco!]

K

^^Good Points^^
I like the idea of a game with Luis catching Tacos, that's pretty funny. The music was awesome, and the graphics were pretty nicely made as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
Yeah, extremely easy. Took me no more than ten seconds to beat. I know you said it was supposed to be easy, but for a harder version, have better detection. You didn't even have to touch the tacos to catch them.

Rudy responds:

Alright, Thank you for the pointers. I probably will make an extrusive version for my website with better coding so it actually has to hit the "HAT" rather than Luis himself, to get the points.

It'll be harder (hopefully.) Thanks again.

[Dress-up the Head]

K

^^Good Points^^
All of the pieces seemed to fit nicely and moved around as well. Cool music choices. Created a few minutes of entertainment.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't see why everything had an alpha applied to it, making it see through. Some of the items, like the eyes were neat to play around with like this, but for the most part it just didn't make sense as to why you did that. Not a whole bunch of pieces, and nothing graphically stunning.

[ytmnd soundboard part 3]

K

^^Good Points^^
The sound quality was relatively good for each sound. All of the buttons seemed to work fine to me.

^^Needs Improving^^
Graphically this wasn't too pleasing. The buttons overlapped each other a lot since you didn't really trace them or anything. A lot of the images didn't really seem related, or at least weren't from the YTMND's their musing was from. Could use some text to go with the pictures or something. Just not graphically pleasing.

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUESITION!!!

[TLOEG Soundboard]

K

^^Good Points^^
This was a very good soundboard. I see you took my advice and decided to put in the quiz and some other extra features. I think it really turned out nice when finished. There weren't many sounds on this, but everything else made up for that.

^^Needs Improving^^
Just clean up the graphics a bit, other than that it was really good.
