[Lindsay Lohan Soundboard]

K

^^Good Points^^
I have to give you some points for being original in this one. I never expected someone to make a soundboard for this person. The clips were actually pretty good. High quality with few background noises, and this could be used for a prank call easily.

^^Needs Improving^^
You could have put some more questions in there, perhaps having its own section with some more simple questions like "how do you do?" and stuff like that. That would make this just about perfect for a prank call. The graphics aren't that great either.

The music isn't bad for this type of dealy.

What is this for? Some type of movie you are making. Perhaps I would be interested, but it doesn't sound like this movie will be made in Flash, so what do I care. I really think the lack of success this will get is because no one really cares about your friends and who they are, and no one wants to read a preview of a script about these people either. I'd keep it within your school.

Billy-Bean responds:

Okay, yeah, the song is pretty good. It's not going to be the song for the entire thing though, it's only temporary until I actually make the theme song. And although I am not making my show a flash, this project is a flash and I will be using flash a lot throughout the development, so flash IS a big part of it. And this is far from a lack of success. It had a low rating because Newgrounds still doesn't entirely know what's going on, as I progress on making this you will learn more and vote higher. I only put this on for it to pass, I knew I wouldn't get a high rating, until my others which give me a 3.58 B/A. And I only had a little commentary about my friends for you to read as a laugh, you don't need to know them to know what would be funny or good, because I told you if so or so would be good for the part or not. You don't need to know my characters to like the show, just like you don't need to know any other actor to enjoy their movies. And people do want to the read the script and are interested, I have lots of people all over the web who are interested in my idea and excited about April when they can buy it, just because you don't know someone doesn't mean you won't like their work, as I mentioned earlier. And "these people" are just characters. Only a couple are based off of actual people and it doesn't even really matter because as the show progresses you learn everything you need to know about the flash anyways.. Show, sorry. I'm not keeping it within my school because I have to SELL this, I am making a website for people to purchase it online and I already have people booking orders now, months before it's actually going to be made. Your problem is that you're taking the conduct of the show to seriously and looking past the idea of the flash, to inform you about the show, an "imformative flash," which is, in fact, a flash. Just because it's a show doesn't mean I can't use other programs to help advertise or inform people about it. Anyways, thanks for your review and perhaps you should start considering other things more carefully rather than just randomly rambling on without really thinking.

As the previous reviewer, this does show potential to be a pretty good game. You had Tsugaru for music, which fit perfectly, and the simplistic graphics reminded me of simplistic script story telling, which is neat.

^^Needs Improving^^
Nothing annoys me more in a game than bad detection and cheap spawn deaths, and this game is riddled with both of those problems. Perhaps when one dies the barrage should start over instead of continue to prevent spawn deaths. Also, you have to make the guy smaller or the objects further apart. It is extremely hard to navigate through them especially with the bad detection. Also, the music doesn't loop.

JunkFoodKing responds:

really? I tested it in Endless mode, and it should have looped. Oh well. I'll learn better actionscript and hopefully make a better game.

This is slightly better than the first episode of this series of games. I liked how you zoomed out on the images when one got them right. The music was pretty neat. The best thing about this was how you made some of the things in here. For example, you had "Pasta" and "sponge" for Justin Timberlake, which was funny.

^^Needs Improving^^
This was far too easy. I had no problem finding out what most of the images were, since they weren't even zoomed in that much. It's also really annoying when you get one question wrong and have to go all the way back to the beginning.

^^Good Points^^
This is definitely the best in the series. You improved the graphics significantly by adding some cool animations into each question. The pictures were neat too. I liked how you also didn't make the player start over when they got one wrong, this was very handy.

^^Needs Improving^^
This wasn't very long. You only had about ten or so sound clips in this episode, and since you didn't have to go back to the beginning after getting questions wrong, the game doesn't last very long.

^^Good Points^^
This is definitely better than the first episode. A lot of the things I said in my review were addressed in this version. I liked how you had the clip replayable, and when you said what song it was from after the question was cool. The sound clips were also longer, which was good.

^^Needs Improving^^
Still, the graphics really aren't that impressive. You have a plain black background, which isn't very visually pleasing. Perhaps you could integrate some kind of checkpoint system as well. It's really annoying to get a few questions right, then have to guess your way through a clip you have no idea the source of. Checkpoints could solve this.

This is a neat idea for a game. Great concept will lead to improvement in the future episodes I am about to review, so I look forward to seeing them. The interface was good and the game worked fairly well.

^^Needs Improving^^
First to deal with the interface. The buttons are very hard to click seeing how they are just text. For easier navigation, you should definitely put rectangles behind the text to serve as buttons. This game was very challenging...probably too challenging. You played clips that were just a fraction of a second, and it was incredibly hard to distinguish them and put them to a song. It would probably be easier if you had put a replay button so the player could listen to a clip multiple times before guessing.

Haha, yes it was very funny how you started to draw stuff with your maps. A penis, a face, and perhaps a joint at the end. Funny stuff. I though most of the maps looked like penis though. Anyway, the game was well made. It worked without many bugs and the anti cheating thing was good.

^^Needs Improving^^
After the joint-shaped level, the end button doesn't work. Also, you should add some kind of system to show what level the player is on and how many they have to go or something. Also, some music or sound effects would be great.
