[- CoolioBeat -]

Much too easy right now

It was a good game. Great visuals and a decent song list. Much too easy though. I recieved the Master rating on all of the songs, and about full combo on all. It just needs harder modes.

[Ongaku]

That was neat

It's a unique game that tops every single music game on the portal so far. There is nothing wrong with the mechanics, the gameplay is fun, and the music choice is pretty good especially for the theme you were aiming for.

The learning curve wasn't good though. The first 5 levels were all very easy (I was able to get at least an 'A' on all of them), however the last level is just brutal. I think the "medium" levels should've worked up to that level a little more.

[Star Island]

Good and solid programming, but unoriginal.

The platform engine that you programmed is great, and if you're planning on a second game, you shouldn't do too much to your physics and such.

This is obviously a knock off of Loco-Roco, as the art, gameplay mechanics, and style is identical. Maybe you should admit that?

[VG Trivia Challenge]

Half decent quiz game, but not much else

There are a lot of good questions that will entertain the most hardcore of VG players. Having different play modes was OK, but one could only wish for more. Definately worth a play, but most will find that this game has little replay value.

This could've gone through a little more revising before being submitted. The menu screen looked bland. The animations, for the lack of a better word, were pathetic, consisting of simple sprite rips and motion tweens. The questions repeated too, but then again, it's a step above most quiz games in that it actually randomizes the questions. The one thing that really got me though, was the choppiness of the animations in the treasure hunt game.

If there is going to be a second version in the future, I personally would like to see a few more modes of play, a larger variety of questions, and a little more effort in the animations.

Thanks for the suggestions. The animations may have run more smoothly in a lower quality. Also, there were 150 different questions in 3 modes, that seems like a good amount to me.

[Super Smash Flash]

A good attempt, but you didn't quite cut it

Yeah, I know I haven't made any better flash, but if the viewer isn't impressed, then that doesn't matter.

The character variety is nice, lotsa neat people to choose from that you couldn't in meele. Sprites were ok...no real problem there. The level design however, was terrible...the effort doesn't show. The female announcer is lacking, echo effect would be nice!

The collision detection is terrible. When you move, you seem to slide around, which is definatly not how SSB is supposed to be. The AI is not based on human character movement, and therefore will make impossible moves and jumps. Plus, there's hardly any balance between the characters...I could use knuckles and knock every character out without any problem.

But it was a good play...I just don't think I'll be playing it again.

By the way, what's up with the people who are all like "OMG THIS GAME HAS LOSTA GLITCHES BUT ADDICTING YAY NARUTO IS IN IT 10/10". They should get a life...then die.

[Roller Coaster Designer]

Not bad, a great start

Don't let those reviews get you down, you probably worked really damn hard on that actionscript. There are problems, like the camera not turning, and the graphics when you're riding the ride aren't that great. While riding the ride, I noticed that the rails didn't really look like rails, more like a flat path. Also, why not add a chain sound when going up your first hill, and some cheezy screams when going down?

However the interactivity and overall uniqueness of this flash is fantastic! I loved games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, and I'd really like to see a game like this in flash! It is 3-D, I mean technically all 3-D games are 2-D, but any 3-D effects in flash are impressive. I know it'll be a pain in the butt, but I'll be totally satisfied if you work on the camera work and add some sound effects.

Great Job!

[Fancy Pants Adventures]

Great! Just wonderful!

The first level was good. If I may make a suggestion: This game is perfect for giving the user a rush. It would be cool to have a level that was just...FAST! I haven't seen a game like that, and it would be cool to have this one do the trick.

Well, anyway, I loved it, so keep it up =).

[BattleFaggot]

Wow!

I only played it for a few minutes, but that was some really funny stuff! Great game, very funny FX, and killer special attacks.

[Beginner Tutorial .1]

Wellllll

It's ok, but try to fix your spelling. Plus, there's other, better tutorials out there. Why not make something a little more worthwile for NG, like a movie?

I will but i am still learning

[Dad 'n Me]

Very fun game to play

This game was a lot of fun, I liked the graphics, the gameplay, and the Uber fighting moves! Maybe this will be the next console port? Who knows? I'd personally like to see more bosses and levels, since the first level was a lot of fun! The "sunchips" boss was so much fun, hopefully there will be more in the future =)
