[ASCII Heroes 2]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
That was a pretty awesome game, just because it was made completely out of ASCII art; a great idea! The music was even reminiscent of very old styled video games. Could be pretty awesome with some improvements.

^^Needs Improving^^
The game moves pretty slowly. You jump way too slow. I also think you should get a few chances of getting hit before you actually die completely, that was really annoying about this game.

[Dragon Fear]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A very original game. I don't think I've ever seen a game that is run completely by the microphone, it was really quite cool. I liked the graphical style of the game and the art that you used. Very nicely done. This should be in a collection or something.

^^Needs Improving^^
Not much. At first I didn't have my mic plugged in, and the fear just keeps going up really quickly. What is that about?

[Advanced Logo Tutorial]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Interesting tutorial here. Your logo looks nice, and it's always great to see tutorials made by people who know what they are talking about, which a lot aren't.

^^Needs Improving^^
You should have definitely added a few more effects so that this doesn't just scream out "COPY MY LOGO STYLE". This basically just shows how to make the logo you made.

[Shading 4 Dumbasses]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A very basic guide to making shading. You went through everything step by step so everyone can understand.

^^Needs Improving^^
Still a lot missing. You didn't talk at all about the "advanced" shading technique, which I'm not even sure what it is. Anyway, you could have also talked about light sources and keeping your shading consistent with them. Also, make the buttons rectangles, not just text.

[MegaMan SceneCreator Demo]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
It definitely looks cool. It was neat how you were planning on seperating this into quite a few different scene creators. The sprites were cool as they were animated.

^^Needs Improving^^
First off, there isn't enough to do in this one to submit it as a full game. It wouldn't have taken a whole lot of time to finish up the full version, so why not? Also, all of the Megaman classic subdivisions are exactly the same. The lighting object is way too hard to grab too.

[dodge game]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
The game functioned fairly well. You compressed the music very nicely. Good quality and still a low filesize, something that too many people overlook. Also liked the teleport idea.

^^Needs Improving^^
Nothing special. Maze games have been done better for a long time. This one was particularly pretty easy as you had a large area to work with. Also, needs some anti-cheating device integrated in.

[Snowman Dressup]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
I loved the music, that was a pretty unique tune to have on a winter themed game. The snow in the foreground was a nice touch, and the art was pretty good in this game.

^^Needs Improving^^
Not much in here besides the very basic items that would be found on any normal snowman. Needs something to give it some uniqueness, something that isn't found on most snowmen.

[The Giant's Fist]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A decent game. I like how you introduced it with an instruction menu. The music was reminiscent of an old platform game, and overall it was not too bad.

^^Needs Improving^^
The space bar never seemed to shoot anything for me. I didn't get very far, but the space bar did nothing.

[grand test drive ( demo)]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Looks like a pretty good start to me. The controls are pretty fair, and the environment (at least what was done) didn't look too bad. With some work it could become a cool game.

^^Needs Improving^^
Unfortunately, it's only a demo with very little playing value. All you can do is drive around in circles, which isn't very fun.

[Tucan: Pac-can!]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Definitely one of the more interesting Pac-man remakes that I've seen on NG. The music was pretty funny. A remix of an old Slipknot song with a very different tune to it, and it made me laugh. The colors were delightful and overall it had a nice feel to it.

^^Needs Improving^^
Some spaces at the top were a bit hard to fit into, and I got a few cheap deaths because of this. Really quite annoying.
