Ed's treasure

"Not a bad game."

submission: Ed's treasure
date: April 7, 2007

After seeing this I'm looking forward to working with you in the collab. The graphics are nice and smooth and you really captured the under the sea theme with the music also fitting in and nicely drawn plants.

I think the last guy mentioned this bu tthe levels could have better designed with more interesting levels Only the new aspect of playing kept me going.

All in all this was rather a good game but you could have come up with a better title. ;-)

6/10

Thanks for the review. Glad you liked it and glad you look forward to working with me. I tried to make a simple title that is catchy but it's in the past now.

"Interesting collab"

submission: 30 Hour Challenge
date: April 5, 2007

Well this certainly was random. Random but pretty well animated and a joy to watch to see what is thrown at me next.

The animation was good in most places and I didn't have a favourite moment as all parts were pretty good. The music was also great. Odd but fitting nevertheless. I loved the end it changed pace at the credits. Did you mean to do that.

For next itme you should try to get more people to join as this wasn't as long as it could have been.

Author's Response:

Credits were made before music was chosen.

And for length, well... I had two more parts but they came an hour late so I did not add them in.

"Wow this is good."

submission: Moose Stains
date: April 4, 2007

5 shorts. All animated nicely with good voices. Your style of drawing is frighteningly simple allthough it works so well. The menu was a good idea so people can actually pick out what they want to watch.

Voices were in-sync and well acted. I say well acted because most of the humourous moments wouldn't be funny if it wasn't for the tone of your voice or whoever the voice actor was.

I think you should choose one of these shorts and transform it into a longer flash played on a bigger screen. :P
I liked the last one with the doctor the most so why not that one.
This might even go into my favourites.

My Last Flash Ever!

"Shit you got me."

date: April 2, 2007

I'm very sorry about the last review. I was depositing for Black-Flame and forgot to switch accounts...

I looked at this flash on the request list and didn't see it was made yesterday so I completely forgot about April Fools. The twist was nice and done well. I actually found this flash funny. Especially where AfroStud asked about the Spice Girls.

Graphics weren't very good but as long as you keep up the creativity you'll be fine. The voices were all great as always. Nerdy and funny. I don't know if you meant it to be like that. :P

So yeah, my first review in ages. I thought it may aswell be something average by you. Keep up the constant cascade of flash that you have blessed (ahem) to NG coming. XD

Sherbert the Cat Pat-Day

"Interesting..."

date: March 15, 2007

At first I thought this is going to be one of those random gay flashes when I saw the first part but then I learnt it was only an intro. The actual flash was well designed and plotted. I quite liked it.

Your drawing is pretty good and the cat was animated well. It is harder than it looks moving four legs at a time and you did well. The sound was also ok. The music was fitting and the voices weren't too bad. Subtitles and a preloader were a good idea. Helping out your audience help YOU get more views and positive feed back. :)

However you could improve by smoothening out your graphics and animation. They weren't too good and there's always room for improvement. The voices were ok but could have been done better with more talented voice actors and more accurate lip-sycning. I also don't think the beginning part of the flash was kind of un-neseccary and looked bad in my view.

An Ambiguous Short

"Sorta... meaningful"

submission: An Ambiguous Short
date: March 14, 2007

Lol I've decided to ditch my usual way of reviewing and your flash is the first I will be reviewing casually like this. :P

So yeah the flash was pretty meaningful. Nice sublimenal message although the message WAS shown at the beginning. There was a lot of style here. The graphics, music. All quality and fitting with the flash. Builds up a feeling which could be described as mystical.

The flash was short as you mentioned. I would love to see a longer version although it is still effective now. Some parts of the flash weren't as nicely animated as they could have been. Such as the bird flapping it's wings through the clouds.

Another point of improvement that you should bear in mind is having a preloader with a play button. I can't remember if you have done this but I think you haven't. ( I apologize if you have. ) Either way a nice custom pre-loader will improve the flash. Using the NG preloader might disrupt the magical feeling that this flash gave me.

This is a good flash with a meaning. I look forward to seeing more of your work. You have inspired me to start flash again. Whenever you need a review done, you know where to call. ;)

Reviews like this one make it all worth while.
I've been experimenting a lot with the creation of atmosphere in flash and I'm really glad that you managed to take something away from it.
The prologue that's currently in the works (well, I started drafting it) will be animated to a higher level, but will lack most of the ambiguous elements due to many criticisms over a lack of focus.
I'll work on custom preloaders for future projects.
Great review, thanks for the effort and time it took to write it.

P.S. West London ftw!

Haters of Hating Hate

"Pretty good."

date: March 14, 2007

(- The Good -)

As you said this flash isyour first "real" flash and I see a lot of improvement in both quality and effort. The graphics were well drawn and I liked your style of art.
The flash was a bit random but sweet. Indeed you are VERY late for Valentine's day but if you had got this out in time it would be a a suitable flash and would capture the "love" mood.
The song you chose was appropriate and went well with the flash. The lip-syncing was accurate and looked good. Alltogether the graphics, plot and sound fitted in nicely.

(- The Bad -)

The character design might have been good but you could have drawn better backgrounds. In some places the animation could have been smoother. I found it quite rough in places.
This is hard to say but the flash wasn't as tidy as it could have been more... tidy. The menu bit with th eplay button looked kinda crap and the graphics could have been slightly more precise and neat.

(-- Overall --)

Nice music video that... would have worked well for V-day. Keep it up.

BlobCombat.V-tSoB

"Suprisingly good."

submission: BlobCombat.V-tSoB
date: March 6, 2007

(- The Good -)

I liked your style of graphics. A bit factory dull but stylish. Reminded me of Madness. The characters were certainly original and I liked the way they had different personalities. The story is looking reasonably good so far.
The music was good, very sinister, mournful even. that was reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid. You included a preloader which is good. Also credits are always a nice sign.

(- The Bad -)

The flash was slightly humorous and the music doesn't suit this. You should pick one style and stick to it.
The credists should always be at the end of the flash. I found it quite boring enduring the text. Get to the pint straight away. Show the movie as soon as possible and then mess about with extras and all that.

(-- Overall --)

I wasn't expecting much from this flash but it's pretty decent. Well done.

Graham's Weird Day (2/3)

"Random."

date: February 24, 2007

(- The Good -)

Well, like last time, the graphics weren't much. Actually exactly the same as last week. This episode was pretty funny with the wierd voices. I liked the part where Satan was talking through AfroStud. That was quite funny.
The voices were OK and sound effects were also moderate but rare. Your preloader is awesome and you included a few buttons with credits so extra points there.

(- The Bad -)

As I said graphics were so-so, meaning I can mention them in the Good and the Bad sections. there wasn't any real aimation as such but I suppose you made up for it with more dialogue. I think the voices were all too similair and confusing. You could have found a way of making who was talking more clear. However I did manage to understand what was going on.
The rest I already mentioned last week and you explained for it. e.g: taking more effort to make the flash better, improving the credits etc.

(-- Overall --)

You made an just below average flash in a week or less. I reviewed it. Same time next week?

Hopefully, I'm unsure if I will be able to complete the next weekly flash for next Saturday, so we'll just wait and see. Thanks for the long review. :)

gogo Happy & Smile

"Wow."

submission: gogo Happy & Smile
date: February 21, 2007

(- The Good -)

The game's graphics are excellent and very stylish. I loved watching the super attack animations. They were designed very well and pretty to look at. The characters were well drawn and so were the settings and vehicles. EspeThe helicopter and car especially surprised me with their quality.
The game got harder as I progressed. The two characters to choose from were slightly different and I was glad to have that choice. Weapons were also varied and useful. Even the pistol was fun to fire. 3 different shot animations were good such as when the cat crouched and swung with the pistol shooting the nearest enemy. Killing the enemies was fun because of these additional attacks.
The music was excellent and it suited the stylish, french graphics. Sound effects were also full and nice to hear. Especially the gunfire. The shotgun sounded distinctive form the submachine gun which is always a good sign.

(- The Bad -)

There could have been more types of gameplay such as survival mode. The main game could have been better plotted and explained. There was only one mode of play, which wasn't even described properly.
The instructions were very basic and didn't really help with playing the game. There could have been a more in-depth training mode showing all the moves possible to preform.
Because the game was so full and complicated, playing it was sluggish. If this could be changed or improved in any way. Playing the game would be bliss and an almost perfect experience.

(-- Overall --)

An almost perfect action game. My favourite here on NG. Clearly a professional job. Many people, me being one of them, wish they had the talent to make a masterpeice like this.
