[Wazzup KeyChain]

Some kind of mini-soundboard?

^^Good Points^^
Like Afro Stud said, this is kind of different from other stuff made when this was a fad, but it's still pretty pointless.

^^Needs Improving^^
If this keychain was put into existance, I would not buy it or want to listen to it in Flash movie form. That pretty much sums it up, but for some more detail, it's still a stupid idea, it's boring, it's a one frame submission with four sounds and it's not presented in a humorous manner, which, let's face it, this fad is accustomed to.

Boring

^^Good Points^^
This does work for me, contrary to what DeathCab said about it.

The worst thing about this is that there is no music or sound effects to spice it up. You'd be surprised at how much better a game is when there is music. The graphics are terrible as well. Your drawings are very lame and not shaded at all, or show any detail. This game is really hard since on the second level, your die if you run into those giant cars. I didn't really have fun playing this.

Interesting, but needs work

^^Good Points^^
This is kind of interesting and I've never seen a game quite like it. It's kind of neat.

^^Needs Improving^^
The stuff you drew is pretty terrible, lots of gradients and rectangles. I also don't see much point in a Windows joke in this movie. If you ever make another one you should have a lot more tricks. With only three this is really boring and repetitive. Take the music out or put something better in, the music is obnoxious.

[The REAL revenge.]

Weird...

^^Good Points^^
The drawings were pretty good. I liked the strained faces you used in this and the drawings were odd, but still pretty detailed. The sound effects were right on too. This is kind of humorous as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
This isn't really interactive besides the buttons. There isn't much to do in here and there is only four buttons. Each button is very similar to the other in the result too.

[Space Skirmish]

Fun game.

^^Good Points^^
This is a pretty fun defending game. The different difficulties are fun and challenging. The upgrade screen is neat and there are lots of different upgrades to purchase. The game is fun to play and the controls were easy to handle.

^^Needs Improving^^
Not exactly an innovative game, it's been done many times and there isn't really anything new that I haven't seen in any other games like this.

yea thnx, why I haven't made another game is because I've run out of ideas.

I've gotten a few, but when I tried them, they didn't even start out very well.

if you've got an idea, i'd love to hear it!

[Sprites: Done Right]

Helpful

^^Good Points^^
Seeing how I am looking to make a second edition to my Earthbound sprite movie, I wanted some tips on how to make my animations smoother and more efficient, so I came to this tutorial. This really explained a lot to me and now that I know to use movie clips, I should spend a lot less time animting. This guide is helpful for even those who know nothing about sprites and goes into lots of detail on how to animate sprites. Nice job.

Perhaps you could have divided this section in to a few parts, since most people know what a sprite is, most people won't want to watch that section.

[all around tutorial]

Some good info here

^^Good Points^^
This tutorial has quite a bit of stuff in it, mainly in the AS and animating sections and some of it I found to be quite useful. The explanations were plain and simple and easy to follow. I liked the music as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
A lot of this stuff has already been put into countless tutorials that are easier to locate than this one. The tutorial itself is kind of ugly with the red backround and the overall graphical style isn't very pleasant.

yodd responds:

Wow thanks for reviewing all my works (well two for sure). And you actually told me what I did well and not so well, both are appreciated! I didn't think the backround was that bad and stuff >:(. But thats your opinion, thanks for a great review yet again!
