[Effects tutorial]

K

^^Good Points^^
Decent layout and backgrounds. It definitely is colorful and not very boring.

^^Needs Improving^^
First off, this tutorial covers three things, and only three things. Two of them, rainbow and sunset, are not hard at all to do and can be done easier than you suggested. Your instructions are really hard to follow, expecially the sunshine one. You seemed to use a lot of slang and unspecific terms.

^^Good Points^^
The music was good, I liked it. There were lots of subtle MC's in here, like most of the buttons, which were a nice addition. The beginning menus made this seem like a promising game too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Playing the game really isn't as fun as the first few menu frames suggest. The graphics really aren't that good, your character moves very slowly and slides when he lands, which is annoying. You cannot shoot backwards too, making the game move very slow and just makes it annoying.

[Noodle Annihilation]

K

^^Good Points^^
The MC's you used weren't half bad, like the flames at the end of the rockets weren't bad. Not bad music either.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really get this game. You have a 0, which indicates some type of score system, but I see no way of getting points. Also, the controls move your character very slowly, making the game impossible to play in tight situations. Not very fun and not much to it.

[Another Slide Puzzle]

K

^^Good Points^^
This has a good layout to it. I like the menu and the unlock system you integrated. Having NG themed pictures is a great idea too.

^^Needs Improving^^
I played the first puzzle and once I completed it nothing happened. It didn't tell me I had done it right, or anything, so I just hit a few buttons, found myself back at the menu and then I found it counted for nothing :(

[Halo Puzzle Craze]

K

^^Good Points^^
Ok, the music was good of course, it is the Halo theme, so of course it fits the game. The game also functions quickly, smoothly, and without any problems.

^^Needs Improving^^
One thing is the graphics. The preloader and win screen don't follow the Halo theme or color scheme at all. The pics are also pretty low quality. Perhaps you should add more than one puzzle to this too. You should maybe make one with more pieces once the first one is complete. Nine pieces doesn't take long.

[Aliens Soundboard]

K

^^Good Points^^
Probably one of the better soundboard you have made. The graphics are definitely superb in this SB than any other you have made. I really liked the background and the buttons went well with that background. The sounds were good quality and all the buttons worked.

^^Needs Improving^^
Not really useful for a prank call, but it does have funny clips in it, which is all that matters. Some clips could have been edited to get rid of some background noise too.

Thanks for the review!

[SBC: Rise To Power]

K

^^Good Points^^
This is a very good game, underrated I think, and did not get the publicity it deserves. The interactivity was amazing and simple, and wasn't really bugged at all. I enjoyed playing the game all the way to the end, which is usually something I don't do on NG games. The graphics were very well done, almost flawless. Definitely one of the best CD submissions.

^^Needs Improving^^
There is really little to be said in this section. In fact, it's been skipping my mind for some time now. Good job.

authorblues responds:

thank you for the kind words. i dont think either of us thought we would win the xbox 360, but we were very disappointed that the submission was overlooked.

(frontpage would have been nice, i think)

[[cc] - SBC throwaround]

K

^^Good Points^^
Ok, not a bad game at all, throwarounds are always fun to play around with. The physics were fun, and I really liked how you added quite a few different SBC's to play around with.

^^Needs Improving^^
For one, I would add some kind of music, and if not and you want to keep the filesize down, I would atleast add some kind of background. One thing I was disappointed not to find was that the SBC's didn't interact with each other, which would have made this game much better.

thank you for this informative review.

[Ultimate Boomhauer SB]

K

^^Good Points^^
Ok, the sound quality was decent, and the text describing each button was pretty high.

^^Needs Improving^^
The background image is really ugly, and your buttons are even worse. You should really put some more effort into these instead of just popping one out every day.

[Madagascar Soundboard]

K

^^Good Points^^
There were a bunch of sound clips in this, and I like how you separated them by characters. The sound clips were humorous and just fun to listen to, which is why I liked this soundboard a lot. I thought the jungle sounds at the beginning was a cool addition as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, this can't really be used for a prank call, but who cares, it was fun to listen to. The graphics aren't really that great though. Could use some background besides the orange, though it did go with the green buttons.

Thanks for the review!
