Nice music and sound effects. The characters were drawn rather well and you put a lot of effort into animating. You put links in your preloader which is good and the opening was also pretty funny and a solid start.
(- The Bad -)
The plot wasn't exactly original and you could have worked out a better one before you started. At times the animation was very slow like the words were being typed up in that ball thing. It could have been very good apart from the slowdown.

Not a bad flash but a bit unoriginal with wacky characters thrown in. Keep it up.

This really is a great idea, collecting all of NGs audio and throwing it together in a radio. I downloaded it and it was even bettter. The names of the artist and song came up and so did their profile pic. The music is all played at very high quality and the radio is very easy to use. Linking to the author's profile is also a nifty profile which will certainly come in ahndy at one time or another.
Not only does it work well, it also looks awesome. The layout would be very hard to improve and the design of the gadget looks really slick.
(- The Bad -)
The songs could have somehow been categorized in their genres, but it' no big deal because I understand this would take forever.
Having the profile pic of the artist as the background of radio's menu was not a good idea. Very rarely did the image blend well the writing and nobody really cares what picture they are using. This also obstructed the menu at tumes and made it hard to read the writing itself so as a whole that part of the NGAP radio was pretty pointless.

Looks great. Works great. Very useful.
I downloaded it and I turn it on everytime Media Player is screwing around or I am bored of my own songs. Nice.

Where to begin? The graphics were a spot-on version of Metal Slug and I loved the smooth animation. The enemies and landscapes were drawn perfectly and I really thought I was playing the original MS. The weapons were a delight to handle and the levels were structured very well, making the game interesting at all times and not in slightest way boring. The music was appropriate and the sound effects were perfectly timing. They too had that MS feel. Not too realistic and could be described as "wacky"
Everything about theis game is awesome from the way ythat the bullets flew through the air to the way that the enemies grunted when they were killed. Now for the bad...

Well the menu was in, (I won't say chinese) a foreign language so I understood jackshit. The controls were a bit dodgy and hard to get used to. The game itself was a tad too hard and it was a chore progressing through the stages. There could have also been a level selector option at the beginning for thos who couldn't be bothered to play through the opening levels.
I didn't play through the entire game and up to the part I got up to the landscapes and enemies weren't very varied. If new soldiers, characters, weapons, items ans settings were introduced earlier, like for example the second level could have been set it in a completely new loacation like a cave, the audience would stay hooked and find the game even more interesting that it already is.
Lastlythere could have been a vague storyline inmcluded so players knew WHY they were going solo, blasting their way through
hoardes of enemies.

A technical marvel and an exquisite way to pay homage to one of the most loved series ever. You are GOD Miniclip.

Graphics and animation are as smooth as hell. I could tell that you really took your time on making the game as good as possible. There are loads of weapon and equipment variations which I enjoyed collecting. The music while wandering around was very suitable and calming. The music when battling was also suitable and more exciting.
Animations in batttle were cool and the grid of spells was a good idea that worked well for me. Trying out a new technique was as satisfying as it should be so well done on that. Stats were hard to raise but this made the game even more pleasing when I raised a level.
(- The Bad -)
Not much here so I'll be picky. Walking around between battles felt sorta un-natrual and items were a bit too expensive to buy. It got very tough towards the end, trying to buy health potions with the minimal amount of money raised after victory. There could have been more ways to earn money apart from battling and transporting those leaves. Training was also pretty useless as it was VERY hard, wastes potions and is miles away from save points or the main battle portal. Oh and finally there should have been a password and username entry thing at the beginning so we couldleave the game and come back to play after a long time without starting again.
(-- Overall --)
All in all this is still my favourite RPG on NG. I first played it ages ago but I never left a review. I still come back in play this once in a while, even though I have to start from scratch every time.
Excellent.

It was very good for a weekly flash. Pretty funny and I'm actually waiting for the next one purely to see what happens to Graham.
You included a replay button which is always a good thing ang the character wasn't TOO badly drawn.
(- The Bad -)
Quite short and the animation was a bit crappy. He didn't even walk, he floated to his house. Somehow his monopoly hotel of a home SWUNG OPEN to let him in. Come on, there wasn't even a door. You could have tried recording your own voice for the narrator aswell instead of relying on Microsoft Sam or whatever that machine is called. (Speakonia?)
(-- Overall --)
A short, amusing, quickly made flash. It raised a smile and a tear at the same time. (Tear because you could have made it a monthly flash, and improved the quality)

"the character wasn't TOO badly drawn."
And I could improve. :)
"He didn't even walk, he floated to his house."
lol, it's my laziness.
"Somehow his monopoly hotel of a home SWUNG OPEN to let him in. Come on, there wasn't even a door."
Monopoly Hotels don't have doors, so that's why it swung open for Graham to go in. :P
"You could have tried recording your own voice for the narrator aswell instead of relying on Microsoft Sam or whatever that machine is called."
I prefer the narrator to have a speakonia voice.
"Tear because you could have made it a monthly flash, and improved the quality"
But a monthly flash would mean less flashes from me and less fun. :P Thanks for the long review.

I liked you preloader, very cool. The rolling tape thingy displaying different slides was also effective. Your characters are drawn well and they look pretty varied. Nice choice of music helps intruige people. :-)
(- The Bad -)
Nothing really, although I think that you should have shown a couple of scenes of Duck Luck in action.
(-- Overall --)
Pretty basic, nothing special. But I have to say, I'm looking forward to watching future episodes. Your Flash skills are promising.

Well animated, it had good quality and the questions were pretty ood, and sometimes humorous. The music also suited the laid back style of the flash and I like the way you put links in the menu. Oh and the enlargement effect when I hovered my mouse over a button in the menu was neat and also smooth.
(- The Bad )
You could have at least let people know how many questions tey got right at the end. On that note there weren't enough questions and the quiz was finished within 30 seconds.

Simple, unoriginal idea performed well but needs to be longer, so I stand by my score.

There are no right or wrong answers, it's a personality test foo.

Not a bad idea, the flags were pretty creative and diverse. Presentation was neat and the layout was clean and tidy. For some random reason I liked the stylish circle when I got it right.
(- The Bad -)
It got boring after a while. The game might have been slightly different from most but that didn't prevent it from being dull. As milinko said you could have thought up of better distractions. And instead of spotting differences in flags, there could be some other scenarios like spotting the difference on a beach or something like that. The flash also needed music, the sound of my mouse clicking made it even more tedious.
(-- Overall --)
A promising idea, that is quite dull, but could turn into an innovative game if you thought about it more.

It's only 3 levels, and I didn't think folk would get bored of flags that quickly.
Also, I had them to hand, and they seemed good for the purposes of a test.
Once I get a properly working engine, I'll definitely start adding more interesting graphics/animation loops.
Glad you liked the presentation and mechanic, which is the only thing that'll remain in a few versions' time.
Stay funky!

It was pretty funny, I like the multipreloaders at the beginnig and the song RAWKS!
(- The Bad -)
Well it's not even a real movie is it? You should take this and go further with it. There may have been some Easter egg but I didn't notice one.

Hey Marsupial, nice to hear from you. Well, I got rid of the multiple preloaders and added the new recent preloader. I think it looks way better now then it did before. I'll try to make this flash go even further when time progresses. No easter eggs, sorry.
Thanks for the review Marsupial! :D

Excellent choice of music. Stylish graphics gave the movie gave the movie an edge. Disgusting violence was used well. I love the way that you hid the play button in the head's eye.
The film was disturbing and in a way, teaches people not to take drugs. The animation was slick in some places. e.g bugs crawling.
(- The Bad -)
Not much. Sometimes the animation and drawings were rugged, but that just made the movie stylish and artistic instead of a flash masterpiece. Took a while to load which was annoying since I heard good things about your work. And finally, the character thing at the end was shown too quickly and I only caught half of it. Did I see the initials HAYF there?
(-- Overall --)
Awesome but disturbing. Rugged but Stylish. Good work. I want to see more. No I need to see more.

Yeah, you saw correctly. I didn't know what to call the thing, so I randomly named it HAYF as a joke. Thanks for the review btw.
