"Pretty cool game in the works"

submission: Jingle Ballistics

date: December 12, 2005

In my opinion this isn't so much a "good game" as "the start of a great game". It seems incomplete and underdeveloped. Given how few sprites were needed for each character, it seems like there should have been more. Also, the scripting could have used a little more touching up. At one point the character jumped over me, and I couldn't seem to turn around to face him again no matter what I pressed. So he continually beat me in the back, initiating one of the gayer moments in fighting game history. Still, it's a very likeable game with a very untouched theme for its genre. I'm interested to see more.

"Dude."

Credit the artist you took this art from or this movie will probably be reported stolen. Less than half of this art is your own.

"Haha, honestly funny"

submission: The Touchtone Genius

date: November 16, 2005

It's not often that I actually find a Flash animation genuinely funny, but this is just one of those finds. The audio absolutely makes the movie. The singing and the voices in general were perfect. They didn't have that rookie quality that makes you picture a dorky, inexperienced kid behind a microphone. They came off as professional. The graphics and animation held their own. They didn't really need to be astounding in a humorous and audio driven Flash anyway.
Awesome work. I'll be spreading this link around to friends.

Score: 8

"Pretty cool stuff"

submission: Zyn:1

date: November 16, 2005

Looks like you've been influenced by Synj and Adam Philips based on your style and choices, but that's just a guess. Your main character reminds me of one of my own, so I had a fondness for him. Hopefully he wasn't really dashed away, but I guess I'll find out for sure in the next installment.
Simple graphics, but not ugly. Major points for frame by frame animation and creative characters. I'll keep an eye out for later work.

Score: 10

"Brilliant, as always."

submission: littleFoot

date: November 8, 2005

I don't throw around this many tens very often at all. But as I'm sure you'll hear from herds of fans - this animation deserves it. While I'm still more impressed with Prowlies at the River, this is a proud addition to the series, showing no slouch in any area of production. The music fits like a glove, the presentation is perfect, and I'd be hard pressed to find a cut corner in the graphics. There are so many effective perspective shots, and the use of shading and highlights accomodates every scene so well, too. The Brackenwood world is really starting to flesh out. So much creativity. I've got a new animation to add to my favorites list.

Score: 7

"Not bad, but has some rough points"

submission: Starfire

date: October 19, 2005

I was kind of inclined to close the game when I died twice within the first 3 seconds of the game from those instant kill explosions, but I gave it a chance. I'm glad I did, because the game isn't bad. I don't regret playing it, and there's a decent amount of potential here. However, there are some key problems that should be addressed. Firstly, there's a bug where my score and money turned to NaN, so I was able to buy the best upgrade and ship by the second level since there was no limit to my money anymore. That's the big one. Smaller problems include enemies shooting at you from offscreen on the sides. Shouldn't really be allowed to happen. Also, your dark lord with the eyeball should probably speak a little more ominously. "Ooooh, what's this? A resistence?" sounds like something a bratty twelve year old would say, rather than a feared ruler.
Some of the sounds were a little bit annoying, but that's inevitable in a space shooter. Overall, the sound was well chosen and managed.
You should team up with a skilled artist to really bring the cutscenes to life. A scripter shouldn't have a hard time finding one.
An overall scoring of seven may sound harsh, but I don't throw around high scores, so it should be taken as more of a positive than a negative.

"Stolen?"

submission: fight in the street

date: September 4, 2005

No preloader, submitted with incorrect dimensions, ends abruptly, different style and much higher quality than your other subs. Seems like you leaked someone else's WIP.

Score: 9

"Amazing animation"

submission: Cigarette

date: August 4, 2005

Great high-quality frame by frame work mixed with very detailed backgrounds. The music didn't appeal much to me, but well suited the animation itself. Looking forward to more.

Score: 10

"Yay!"

submission: Dad 'n Me

date: July 27, 2005

Let me be the 50th person in the first minute of release to review like an excited fanboy. I, like many others, have been waiting some time for this. The presentation is awesome. The mechanics, the graphics, it has the whole package. Gems like this are rare. This will keep me entertained for days.

Score: 7

"Hee hee, elephant boner"

submission: Greghory's Assault

date: July 26, 2005

Only you guys would come up with that XP. Didn't know you guys were working on anything these days. Cool to see this out. Fun little game. As always, I reserve my high scores for more expansive games, but I like what's here. Don't be strangers now, y'hear?
