[WOS-Dress Up Jesus]

K

^^Good Points^^
Good graphics. I really liked the background of this, and the sun looked pretty cool. The pieces in general were very well drawn. Nice music too, that stuff is so crazy.

^^Needs Improving^^
This isn't much for a dress up game. The pieces are all arranged so that they fit on the body exactly as they are supposed to. You don't give any variations in any of the pieces either, which is a big mistake. I also looked at this and though "what part am I dressing up". You definitely need some more items in this.

Arskagarf responds:

This was more of a cry for attention than anything else really. IM SUCH AN EMO.

[F2Jam TheMusicGame - Beta]

^^Good Points^^
This has much improved since the first version. The graphics are much better in this version, with the animations when you hit a key, and the menu is very functional and easy to read. I'm glad you added a lot of things that I suggested, they were needed. You had more than one song, and they were pretty challenging, though I was still able to pass both of the hard charts on this. I didn't encounter any bugs this time either.

^^Needs Improving^^
I notice that the hard charts that I played didn't use the space key at all! It's there, so why not use it. Also, try to mix it up with simultaneous keys instead of having one song of just single strokes, and other with multiple key strokes. It just makes it more interesting.

XceeD responds:

Thanks for the review.
I rarely use space because I can never see a good point to use it :/. And also, it takes a lot of skills to play the game but it's really hard making the notes (at least with the system I made so far xD). Soon, it'll be better though :D!

[Starship Troopers SB]

K

^^Good Points^^
A great movie...I remember watching it when I was young; it scared the living shit out of me. Anyway, on to the review. The graphical layout was decent, I liked the color scheme you chose. The movie information and pictures section was a great addition.

^^Needs Improving^^
You only had twelve sound clips added into this which doesn't really comprise a soundboard, nor could they be used for a prank call. Usually you do a good job making soundboards, but you really need to think these things out before you go and submit something like this. The stuff above sort of made up though.

Frenzy responds:

Ok, thanks for the review!

[DressUp2]

K

^^Good Points^^
A pretty good dress up game. I like how you had the scrolling thing to try out stuff instead of having to drag it all around. The music was pretty good, and there were quite a few funny combinations you had for this game.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really like how you had a hat or shirt for so many colors. It's really not necessary to have that many different colors for stuff. If you are, at least have a separate button for item shape and item color.

LegolasFIN responds:

Well do u know the colourbar action script and how to make it cos i searched for tutorials for that alot but didnt find any! if u find any, plz send me :)

^^Good Points^^
Good graphics and functionality. Looks a lot better and not quite as retarded as a lot of the banner ad games on NG.

^^Needs Improving^^
To be completely honest, NG has enough banner ads as it is, and I really hope not to see more of them submitted on the portal. This game itself is not portal material because it is not challenging at all, it takes almost no skill and it isn't fun to play at all. You cannot even restart the game.

BoMToons responds:

I agree on most points. I'm surprised it didn't get blammed.

[1D RGB Flipper Puzzle 1.0]

K

^^Good Points^^
I really like the games you make since they take a lot of thought and mental stress to figure out. Of course since I was lazy when I played I didn't really try to get a low score, but if I were in the mood for a good puzzle I'm sure I would find this game really entertaining. Great music too, got me into a thinking mood!

^^Needs Improving^^
Perhaps on later levels you could add some more bubbles to this for added difficulty, or perhaps more levels in all with random starting colors or something. It would just give the game more replay value.

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

Thanks again for the reviews!

Glad you liked it generally.

I found that with more circles, it wasn't that much more difficult. In fact, it's easier to see where we need to click if it's the same number of clicks needed. And as the 1D format makes it pretty easy to complete, I thought it best to keep the clicks needed low and instead challenge folk to try and attain that score.

All the levels are algorithmically generated. The colour you're trying to reach is random, as is the locations you need to click on.

For the last level, there's 176400 possible levels, I think.

[Katakana Game v0.25]

K

^^Good Points^^
This was a very cool game. I really liked the music you chose, since it is pretty calming and a unique song. I liked the game itself because you really have to concentrate. As you said, if you look away you often forget what you were just looking at and have to take a complete guess. Fun game to play because of this. It looks simple, yet is very challenging.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't know, the game does what it is supposed to without error, so maybe just improve background or something.

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

Thanks again for the reviews!

As with 1D RGB, I'd have been interested to know your score. I'm guessing it didn't hold your attention for long? I don't know though.

LJCoffee is really a great musician. I've been going through his stuff and finding things that fit. Good to know others enjoy it as much as I do.

I'll definitely add various different backgrounds for v1, along with other stuff.

Thanks for the review!

Stay funky,

[Leela Soundboard]

K

^^Good Points^^
One of your better soundboards that I've seen recently. I like how you organized this into sections, making it really easy to prank call someone with this one. The clips were pretty funny for a character that doesn't have too many funny lines in my opinion. Good graphics too. I think you put a better effort into this than some of your other boards.

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, I like everything to be concise, and you made really large buttons and wasted a lot of space. You could have easily fit everything on to one frame for this one.

Frenzy responds:

Ok, thanks.

And about the buttons, yeah, I thought I should have done smaller buttons after I'd made them, too.

Thanks again!

[Fan Game 0.39]

K

^^Good Points^^
This game has a good concept. I like strategy type games, so this was right down my alley. This was quite unique and I could see this improving a lot.

^^Needs Improving^^
This game is more frustrating than anything. I don't like how by putting your mouse over the ball it moves all around like crazy. Touching it shouldn't do anything in my opinion. The ball would also get stuck in the little squares, which was really annoying. Also some sound effects or music would do this good.

Review Request Club.

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

Touching the ball with the fan doesn't do anything special. It's just that the power of the fan varies in inverse proportion to the distance from it, so as you get close, it'll start moving away faster as the air blowing on it is closer and has more power.

You're totally right about the getting stuck. I really should try and source some cool sfx.

Thanks for the review!

Stay funky.

[Pong <BooGames>]

K

^^Good Points^^
Ok, it's pong and the game was functional.

^^Needs Improving^^
The first thing I noticed was that music doesn't end when you click on something. For example, if you go to the instructions then back to the menu, the music will keep playing from the original visit to the menu, plus once again. Then when you play the game, you still hear the menu music. The game also isn't original at all, and the color scheme is just horrible. Plus the fact that there is no win in one player mode.

boomoto responds:

like i said 2 player game thats what pong is, 1 player mode is practice, now for that sound thing your right, i might sound liek a noob but it was being really gay normally stopAllSounds; would do it but not here i have no idea why it didnt work i think i might be done with this for a bit for it was just for a 1 week grade 12 com tech project but yeah if anyone knows another way to stop sound send a letter to [e-mail] ty
