[From Dusk Till Dawn SB]

Not bad at all.

^^Good Points^^
I liked the music on the menu. I've never seen the movie, but it seems to go along with the mood of the movie from what I can decipher from the sounds. The movie info, help, and website part of this were a nice addition and really help to spruce this up. The soundboard itself is nicely done as well. The text is nice and big and all of the buttons work well. A lot of the quotes were good ones.

^^Needs Improving^^
This definitely could have done without the teal background. Also some of the sounds have a lot of background noise in them, which I don't find too attractive in a soundboard. There weren't too many sounds either...only seventeen. :S

Overall, this is a nice soundboard, but a little lacking in quantity.

Thanks for your review!

[Marshmallow]

*Yawn*

^^Good Points^^
This game is presented very well. The menu is easy to read and the game is easy to understand. The graphics are very well done. Both the drawings and animations are well done. The music and sound effects were also pretty good.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't really like playing this game at all. The way the Marshmellow moved was really annoying and the game play was paced to slow to be fun. The game didn't really get harder as it went on, and it gets really repetitive since there are no levels/upgrades/etc. This could definitely use some revising.

Overall, a nice looking game, but not so great to play.

Absolute-Requiem responds:

Well thats fair enough not everyone likes the movement and having to time the moves. Fiar points made for the improvements. I am planning on doing a new veriosn at some point with highscores, leveling, possibly upgrades because many people have pointed this out as gd improvments to make. Thanks very much for the comments.

[Ryan's Dream Adventure]

Decent

^^Good Points^^
I liked how this really felt like playing an old video game, maybe one on the SNES. The beginning was cool how it "reset" ever once in a while to simulate that. The music was real retro sounding and the graphics were done well. I liked how this game was presented.

^^Needs Improving^^
I can't really say honestly that I had a whole lot of fun playing this game. I found the controls to be a little sketchy, and the game itself seemed to leave me stuck in a lot of places, where my only option was to jump.

The game is well designed, this just didn't appeal much to me.

Sk8erGirl14 responds:

yeah, this was a pretty good learning experience...

I know it's problems and hopefully they will be avoided in the next games I develope...

thanks for the review...

[The Simpsons: A Quiz v.2]

Too short

^^Good Points^^
I liked the music and different sound effects used during the test. I've never heard that song and it was interesting to hear. Everything in the quiz seemed to work pretty well. The questions for each difficulty are good choices.

^^Needs Improving^^
Like I said in the title, this quiz is far too short. It's only five questions for each difficulty. I didn't like how one had to start the quiz over when they got a question wrong, since answering the same questions over again is just a waste of time. The graphics are also really bland in this. Try making a background for it with some of the characters. I also didn't really like the famous quotes part of this. There were only three qutoes, and since you've made a soundboard of this show, you could have added the sounds in to spice this up a little bit.

Overall, this just looks unfinished to me. More questions and spruced up graphics would really do this quiz a service.

Yeah, I'm using a profgram (KoolMoves), and I noly have the demo, so I couldn't save! I had to work on it in one run!

[Train Speed Math Program]

It's alright...

^^Good Points^^
I guess this is a good idea. It works fairly well from what I can tell.

^^Needs Improving^^
The whole game is very cluttered making it look very complicated and hard to play. There also isn't a time limit making it really easy to cheat or just work out the answers. I didn't really find this fun, I won't play this game ever again.

eliteskills responds:

There is a time limit. That's what the lil blue bar is for.

lmao cheating!? Who cares if they cheat, it's moronic and takes away the point of the program.

[Cookie Crumble]

Like a real cookie, addictive.

^^Good Points^^
This game is a good game that is fun to play. The graphics and design of the game looked very smooth, and the moving backgrounds look really cool. The music was a good choice, and the slowly increasing pace of the game play makes this game pretty addictive. The level system, though sort of pointless, is a good addition. Overall this game is presented very well.

^^Needs Improving^^
This could use some kind of difficulty levels to set in the beginning. The game starts to progress way too slowly in the beginning, which I'm sure turned some people off.

pixelz responds:

Well I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and having it slowly prgress is just how the game works. In the future I might make a sequal. But thanks for the good review=)

[Tetris for everyone!]

ANOTHER Tetris game?

^^Good Points^^
The music is good. Tetris Trance is a very good song and is obviously fits the game very well. The game worked fine and was face paced as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
NG doesn't need another tetris game. There are already hundreds just like this. I'm starting to think that people are just copying the code from somewhere and putting in their own crappy graphics. This is exactly like many Tetris games on this webiste and I really detest unoriginality.

Simmolissack responds:

^^good points^^
i understand your point of view and you are entitled to it.

^^needs improving^^
If you are SO sick off playin tetris games... why play mine?

[Winzows BETA]

Another windows parody....

^^Good Points^^
The only part that was good about this was the graphics, and they weren't even that great. I liked the login screen, that was kind of funny, and the recycle bin is also humorous.

^^Needs Improving^^
This Window's Sucks things are getting really old here on NG, especially when there isn't a whole lot of work put into them and they don't offer anything new as time goes on. This has a lot of problems with it. If you are trying to look at one of the three flash movies, the window that comes up isn't on top, making it hard to view the movies. The backgrounds look really stupid, try offering something different between each one other than color. The thing with mario at the end has nothing to do with Windows...

Zerobeam responds:

Thx for the feedback.

1.It was the BETA version, so il make a full one with alot more functions that im sure you'l like!

2.Il fix these nasty symbol bugs so you can't see thru!XD

3.I dunno. Nobody complained about the backs. There from NG. Maybe it's lazy, but i think very original.

4.. I don't even know why Mario is there... It was my friends (Bertn) idea.
