[battle front lv 1]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
It wasn't a bad game. The detection was better than I thought it would be and the game was pretty fun to play, I think. It's unfortunate that there is only one level.

^^Needs Improving^^
I was running out of ammo pretty early in the game, so I decided to try and avoid enemies as much as possible and discovered that I can simply move to the bottom of the screen and avoid enemies altogether. This definitely needs to be fixed.

[Sinjid: SotW]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
For those of us that grew up with old RPG's with this exact battle system, this was quite a treat. It reminds me a lot of Breath of Fire, though it resembles any RPG. Personally I loved this one. Everything was well themed. The graphics were great, as well as the music, and the level up system was quite complex. I'm sure this took a lot of time to program. Excellent game you have here.

^^Needs Improving^^
The only thing I would suggest is to make the battle system less linear. Maybe add some different variables into the mix.

[Wrecking Ball X]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Honestly wasn't expecting a breakout style game, but nonetheless it was pretty fun to play this game. I thought the design in the levels and how they were supposed to look like different things was cool, and changing your own speed was a nice feature as well, so you could really have unlimited difficulty in this game.

^^Needs Improving^^
The graphics could be cleaned up a little bit to be made to look more professional. You also may want to add some music to make this a little less boring.

[2d Asteroids]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Well it was an Asteroids rendition. I think you got the graphics down pretty well and made them look something like the original. The music was pretty cool too.

^^Needs Improving^^
The main thing that I don't like is how the asteroids react to being shot. When one shoots them, two smaller ones appear, which should happen, except for that they appear in a completely random place, usually not even near where the original asteroid was when it was shot. It creates a lot of cheap and sudden deaths and is a major flaw in the game.

[How does Inglor look?]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A pretty comical dress up game for Inglor day. I think it's kind of funny how you decided to really only add these hair pieces that would pretty much only give the option of making him bald. The drawings were very good, and the filesize is great for this game.

^^Needs Improving^^
It's kind of lacking a lot of good pieces. The options here a pretty limited when it comes to the actual dressing up of his face. Definitely needs some more items in here.

Rantzien responds:

While this was mostly made for fun and not really intended as a serious attempt at a game, thanks for taking the time to review constructively!

[Flash Tips and Lessons]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Well this was a pretty basic tutorial. I liked the tutorials on making the buttons. They looked somewhat cool to me. The music was pretty cool though.

^^Needs Improving^^
I thought that the framerate was too low. The animations of the records going from side to side definitely show this. You also didn't go into much detail about animating faces, and the way you say "Push F5 after each frame" is just vague. You need to say what that means and what it does rather than just tell people to do it.

[Wrath of Zantsu: Demo]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Looks like the full version could be a pretty good game if some changes are made. The graphics are quite good. The nice color scheme was really fluent throughout the whole game. Game play was pretty fair. Coding and detection seemed alright.

^^Needs Improving^^
A really lame demo, as you really can't explore or anything, so I can't really get a good feel for what the real game will be like. Also, the enemies have way too many hit points. You have to shoot/cut them like twenty times a piece to kill them.

[Own3d [Dressup]]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
The artwork wasn't too badly done. Good use of shading and detail. I also dig the music from Sunshine...which makes me like this a lot more.

^^Needs Improving^^
A little lacking in the clothing department. There weren't too many items to play around with, and those that were there were pretty ordinary. Also, this guy doesn't even have a mouth!

[Cursor Showcase]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Some interesting ideas here. I have to say that I liked the Matrix themed cursor, seeing how I am a fan of the movies.

^^Needs Improving^^
Compared to most, this is a pretty lame show of cursor effects. Almost all of them seem to be based off the same coding and simply use different graphics, which was disappointing. I thought some music could have made this more enjoyable, and you should loop back to the beginning once they are all done.
