[Bomb Hunter]

K

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.

[Poppit! Stress buster]

K

^^Good Points^^
It's the basic grouping type matching game, with some cool twists to it. I like the storyline of this, popping bubbles to get your stress level down, then getting it all the way down to complete the level. That was a cool idea by you. I liked the sound effects for this game, and the graphics were wonderful, very high quality.

^^Needs Improving^^
The game is pretty basic. Not much better than any other game of the type, besides for the fancy graphics. This didn't really keep me occupied as there wasn't much new about it.

[Dress Up Dollie]

K

^^Good Points^^
An ok dress up game. It's unique because of the style of clothing, usually clothes aren't so dark and stuff like that. The drawings were fair, and everything fit pretty perfectly, along with good layering.

^^Needs Improving^^
None of this looks to be drawn in Flash, which is disappointing to me. The drawings also seem to be a little bit low quality to me, some pixilation. Also, I don't see where the large file size comes from, as this has no music to it. Might want to check on that.

[Clock Shoot out]

K

^^Good Points^^
The graphics are good. The drawings of SBC and Corpsegrinder were well done, and even the bitmap of Bedn doesn't look bad at all. I liked the background drawing and the sound effects as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't know why this hasn't been mentioned, but for some reason I cannot hit any of the targets! I click many times, hear the gun firing sound effect, but nothing. No indication that I hit or didn't hit. It's a shooting game, so problems such as this really need to be fixed in order for me to like this game at all.

[Collect! - Pure Code Game]

K

^^Good Points^^
This game was decent. You can't beat the file-size on this one, 6kb takes no time at all to load. The game is kind of challenging as well, since it has the moving platforms and the bullets.

^^Needs Improving^^
The game lacks substance. First off, the bullets should take more than one health away, since its not really hard to avoid them, and it would take ages to lose. Also, perhaps some type of power up system with something that will make you jump higher, move faster, etc.

Naois responds:

Thanks for the review, especially the "Needs Improving" part. I agree that it lacks substance; it was designed to be simple, yet marginally addictive. Maybe the bullets should take more, but later when there are swarms of them coming, you would die in a snap if they took away any more. A power up system has been mentioned by others, and my next game, which is already started, does have a power up system. Thanks for the criticism.

[Sentence Generator]

K

^^Good Points^^
A decent generator movie. You had good sentence structure with lots of places for random words to appear in. The music was very good. You had two different song choices, and had volume control too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Not too random enough for me. I got a lot of the same words over and over for the same slot, which made this get boring quick. You should definitely have some more words in this to make it more interesting.

[Man Chop]

K

^^Good Points^^
A very interesting FPS game, much better than most traditional ones. I like how you incorporated both the mouse and the arrow keys, giving the player complete control of where they go and what they do. The three dimensional effects were very good, and well animated. The game worked well, the enemies responded to fire, and I like the difficulty level this was set at.

^^Needs Improving^^
I think that the controls are a little bit too sensitive, especially the mouse. It's really hard to get the controls down, since the mouse seems to be very eradic when first starting. Definitely make it less sensitive, like a real PC FPS.

[Snowstar]

K

^^Good Points^^
This game was very interesting. It has a unique storyline with a unique character and setting as well. The game interface is neat, I like how the game works. The game is functional and easy to stand. You did a great job on the graphics and animations. Overall a great game.

^^Needs Improving^^
Obviously derived and designed off of some other similar games...can't put a name on them at this point though. I thought this could have used a bunch more sound effects and what not.

[How 2: Draw Stick Heads]

K

^^Good Points^^
Some decent tips in here, like the reflection in the eyes. Also the music was good quality.

^^Needs Improving^^
Really, not a very good tutorial. Seeing how you don't have any stick animations under your belt, I'm not sure you have much experience, which will give you less credibility with people on NG. Besides all that psychological stuff, the tutorial itself is not that good. Your art really isn't that great, and the drawings that you teach really aren't that advanced and really not much better than someone can figure out easily by their self with a little practice.

Thx!

[Decorate Your House]

K

^^Good Points^^
This game was pretty unique, so I give you credit for that. Some of the art wasn't too badly drawn. You tried to add a little bit of humor into this, like the photograph, which was a little bit funny.

^^Needs Improving^^
This game just isn't very fun. I would have liked it a lot more had you not given complete instructions on everything to do. I would have liked to have some freedom in decorating the room somehow. Perhaps some kind of button system so that I could add/take out whatever I wanted to.

Captain-Cup responds:

Thanks for the review...taken all your tips to mind ^_^

Happy Christmas!
