[taiping v0.4]

Not that fun

This game looked like rubbish, not to mention it game without instructions so I didn't really know what to do at first. The letters move quite fast and it is good for practicing quick jamming of keys, but really isn't that fun to play. Challenging, but lacks good game play.

AcidDimensions responds:

Though a bit of praise would have been nice (if only, 'well done for at least trying'). Had this been your only review I might have gotten upset. (I wouldn't have. But I might have.) A little bit of praise in each review helps ensure everyone realises your good intentions.

Still, thanks to the way you mention a few specifics, the review doesn't come across as a rant.

Some of the criticism is definitely constructive.

Very fun and challenging!

I must admit that though this game has a very simple design and goal, it provides a lot of challenge. I got to the last stage but couldn't get all of them when it said the end. That game was really fun actually and I enjoyed playing it, even though I have no idea what a skear is. Still could use some background music though. Nice job on this.

AcidDimensions responds:

Praise, a piece of contructive criticism, some info about your experience, a summary.

Great review.

More feedback would be nicer, but it's nice as it is.

[rol-ovir]

ok...

I know I wasn't supposed to play this game, but I thought I should anyway just to find out what it was. The text was pretty funny and I liked that, but the game didn't have much substance. Only two levels that weren't very challenging isn't a very good game. There was also very few good graphics and no sound, which again is a bad thing.

AcidDimensions responds:

A far better review than the game deserves. Praise and criticism abound. Maybe there could be more of a summary. A short line at the end.

Nice review though.

[NSG001: 4 Bats, 1 Ball]

Moderately fun

I thought this was a neat twist on pong, it was very original. I know the challenge of the game was to get the ball to move faster, but I would have enjoyed it more had the ball not slowed down so much. This game could have also used some color and sound, it is very bland without these things.

AcidDimensions responds:

Praise, constructive criticism and a quick summary in the title.

Some feedback on your personal experience/progress would have been nice.

I like the way you give the caveat, " I know the challenge of the game was to get the ball to move faster," before making your valid suggestion.

A dense review, in terms of info.

Good work.

[Dodging Circles]

Pretty entertaining.

Though this game was really simple, it was still pretty entertaining and challenging. It started off easy, but once you get to aroudn 500 points it gets a lot harder. It could use some improvment on the graphics and needs some type of sound. This game was really fun and addictive and I liked the highscore page. nice job

AcidDimensions responds:

review of your review:

praise, constructive criticism and a summary of opinion all exist.

You told a little about your opinion of the difficulty. Feedback on your experience of a game is good to hear.

You could get a bit more specific on how the graphics could be improved, maybe give some more feedback on your experience (how far you got etc.) and maybe split the review into paragraphs.

It is a useful review as is and I thank you for it.

Stay funky,

[~~ytmnd finale~~]

ok...

There wasn't that much funny stuff in here, and you're completely missing the point of a soundboard. They are used to make prank calls, not to just listen to random clips.

Mechabloby responds:

Yeah I know.
Well the ytmnd soundboards are actually only the ones people e-mailed and reviewed told me what they wanted on it.

[How-to kill Stickz v1.8]

For a stick movie...

For a stick movie, this was pretty good. I'm usually not a fan of stick movies, but this one was different. The graphics were pretty nice. I especially liked the melting part. Music was refreshing and went nicely with the movie. There was a ton of options which was nice. Good job.

YoshY-txt responds:

Thanks!
I put a lot of work into listening to review to do that many options :) (not enough work if you ask me, but still a lot)

[NG tutorial 1.07]

Useless.

While this tutorial has some good information, it is pretty useless. This information can be found on NG itself in the help section so why put it into a flash? not to mention there are already hundreds of "tutorials" with this information. Graphics were bad too. Bad song there needs to be an on/off button for the sound.

maxc16 responds:

Oh I remeber you... you're that gay guy that reviewed my other submission. In that case, I won't listen to you.

And no... this info can't be found on NG. All this is being explained by me, with hints and tips and opinions. Alot better.

[Emo Pet:Dressup v2.0]

Nice

I'm not a big fan of dress up games, but this one wasn't that bad. I laughed at the idea of this, and it is pretty funny. Everything worked and looked nice. Nice job.

Artist-Lost responds:

Thanks a bunch, Im glad you liked it. Merry Cristmas ^.^
